If you wanna be nihilistic and say nothing really matters and nothing's gonna change and there's no point in fighting back, that's your choice.
But don't expect the rest of us to humor it. Don't expect others to make space for chronic negativity. Nihilism is useless and irritating and repulsive.

When Trump’s sister got exposed for tax fraud during his first term she was allowed to quietly retire from the bench, no perp walks for that judge. Of course she’d always helped Donald cover up his crimes. So when Kash Patel says ‘no one is above the law’ he doesn’t mean Trumps.
