I have some neighbors who regularly have a huge bash lasting all night long - it’s happened every Cinco de Mayo for nearly a decade.

This year - nothing.

The whole town is quiet. This used to be one of the noisiest days of the year. Is anyone else noticing this in their community?

    I expect Chinese New Year celebrations to go down too once they start ramping up the “CCP Spy” Sinophobic rhetoric.

    It’d be like the red scare all over again, except this time the Russians already won, and is now… in a proxy war with China via the US?

    So now:
    Russian agent in the white house = good?
    But every Chinese American is now a spy, even with zero proof whatsoever?

    What the fuck is going on lol? This Simulation is broken

      The Russian people I know speculate that the plan was to recruit Russia as an ally against china. Since china is the more dangerous enemy. However it doesn’t seem to be working too well because the Russian leadership is just as out of touch with reality
