I’m going to go against everyone else and say that neither Biden nor Trump can end the war. Trump can cut the US support, but that’s all he can do, and even if that led to Russia regaining the momentum, it won’t win, in the same way that Bush’s MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner wasn’t the end of the War in Iraq.

At most, what can happen is that the Ukranian side of the war turns into an insurgency, and we love saving lives through counterinsurgency don’t we folks?

He’s wrong, I have mommy issues and I don’t like older women with bigger chests at all.

But can we afford a tiddy gap

It’s a very…Roosevelty New Deal type of Golden Age. It’s a Golden Age because the government is constantly funding various infrastructure mega projects across the galaxy, but the mega projects are needed for a reason, too.

I was trying to say that we had previously been given the idea that the Republic was basically static and unchanging for thousands of years after the Reformation, with the only marker of change being the unsuspected and invisible rot spreading within, but in actuality the period of the Glorious Iconic Era was a very short portion of the Republic’s entire existence.

It hasn’t been explicitly stated but the impression the setting gives is that the war with the Sith fucked things up WAY MORE than it did in Legends. In the time of the High Republic, Coruscant is not even completely covered in city yet.

In essence the rot hasn’t had time to set in because they’re only barely finishing repairing the damage of the last gigantic galactic war, only mere centuries before the Prequels, which in essence implies that the Republic that stood for thousands of years was really only at the height of its fabled power for a fraction of that time, and a lot of the early time was spent scrabbling to put things together.

Basically a new “era” of Star Wars set a few centuries before the Prequels. There’s a few novels set in it that have just been published, and also some comics and I believe a couple of character shorts on the Star Wars youtube channel? The racists are angry because Star Wars is once again allowing women and black people to be in space.

The standard intro is the novel Light of the Jedi, which actually made it to the number one bestseller on NYT.

Have you checked out the High Republic? It’s very much “What if we go back to when the Republic was awesome and the rot hadn’t taken hold yet”.

Just wear those sunglasses that everyone who records political rants in their car is wearing, and they will think you are one of them.

I just like imagining the transformation from “we’re gonna put the fear of communism into that bleeding heart pinko” to “oh fuck we just killed the president, OH GOD OH FUCK WE JUST KILLED THE PRESIDENT”

I never found any explanation convincing until Matt Christman suggested that the CIA tried to stage an assassination attempt and accidentally killed the president during it. That story just…it feels more like the world I know than any other scenario.
