      Nah, they’re busy doubling down on the fact that they let a moron rapist into office and blaming the party and system for their life’s choices. Smh. It’s only year two.

    Hey, you don’t throw a 250th anniversary party every year. You have to make sure it’s a BIG one.

    Okay.

    So these protests, obviously, didn’t do anything, as expected.

    Can you start doing general, country-wide strikes to hit the Cheeto where it hurts? No violence needed,and let’s hope that stays that way, but you gotta do more than just hold up a disagreement sign at this point.

      Even if we were organized enough to think about doing that, there’s far too many people who think they have too much to lose still, specifically their children.

      Nobody is ready to die and the elites know it.

    In the end, the US empire listed about 250 years. Maybe they stumble along shitting themselves for another 50 years, but this is likely the beginning of the end considering they’ve destroyed any trust with other powers for generations, and done so right at the time when they needed this ethical narrative to constrain China’s dominance. Like many other empires they became arrogant and shit all over everyone else, and eventually the knives come out.

    250, maybe 300 years. Pretty mid, to be honest. Just average. Not really the powerful and unique exemplar they envisioned, just a standard run of the mill power that let the success get to their heads.

      You can always have one. You just need to kidnap a head of the state in which there is one. You already did once, it can’t be that hard to do it a second time.

    If Americans can’t organise a general strike when their president goes rogue and kidnaps another president illegally, when are they going to? I’m done holding out expecting Americans to deal with their bullshit. Were all going to need to be the ones

      The canary in the coal mine should have been when they explicitly started targeting trans people but people here don’t care. They think trans people must have deserved it and nothing bad will happen to the people they think actually matter. Why would this situation be an exception?

        I will never get over what this country did in November 2024. We had Project 2025. (Queer Furry) Hackers risked their lives to leak it. IIRC the lead hacker was raided and imprisoned once Trump got in power, and I don’t know if they ever got out.

    I really hope he overextends the military, and a draft is required. That might be the only thing that will piss off people enough to get them away from the TV and do something.

      You have that in reverse. The USA only is the richest country in the world by exploitation of most of the world. A necro-parasite, feeding on the corpses of dozens of “third world” countries.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
