You aint see nothing yet. Wait till the Trumps celebrates 20 years of absolute control over your country and then we'll talk. Americans chose fascism, explicitly.
No, of the people that voted, a slim majority voted for fascism. I think that is an important distinction that will have consequences.
I want to believe but I am forced to question the character of US citizens. I apologize if this offends and I would love to be proven wrong.
Why would I expect the "good people" in the US who "didn't vote for authoritarianism" to suddenly grow a spine and a social conscience if all the evidence for decades shows they can't even take political action to protect their school children? This is unfathomable for someone in another country where just one mass slaughter of innocents would unify an outraged nation into decisive action. I think even the "good guys" might be more broken than you realize. There is no greater call on any parent than to defend their own offspring. If they can't do that can they really be expected to defend the rights of others?
I hope for your sake you can all reclaim your humanity. It is never too late.
A slim majority is still a majority. It was basically half your country that chose this, or even more if you consider those that didn’t vote were ok with this as well.
His kids will have to lead the parade, there’s no way that sentient Big Mac is going to last another 20 years.
Y'know, I used to agree on this, but in the era of deepfakes I half wonder if we'd have body-double Trumps leading the country for the next several decades. Like a stupider version of the "Putin Body Double" theory.
It's not like there isn't days and days worth of video and audio to train the AI on.
Americans chose fascism, explicitly.
They choose fascism every four years. But this is tacky fascism, which liberals can't stand.
There's a good and proper way to take over the courts. Trump has violated the norms. He's making liberal democracy look bad. Unforgivable.
I think using more words to describe what is happening would help. I'm not sure everyone really understands what fascism is. Maybe mix it up a little?
- authoritarianism
- trump and musk are dictators
- monarchy
- feudelism
A literal Machiavellian princely state.
One of the reasons Elon and his Dark Enlightenment techbros think everyone is stupid is because they can say things like "we want to break everything up into city states dominated by the local billionaires" and people still think DOGE is a reference to a fucking dog and not:
THANK YOU. This has been on my mind since DOGE was first brought up.
The Venetian doge crossed my mind as well thanks to Assassin's Creed.
I cant help but notice that those who claim to reject this are still Republicans who vote Republican and endorse Republicans.
Small steps.
Democrats have proudly stood up and said "the DNC doesnt represent my values, I am a Republican now!" The favor is never returned.
Trump gonna ban pasta as well?
Will have to cut down all the spaghetti trees.
Is it an activist carb?
The process to impeach judges requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate, right?
So basically not happening that route.
They're likely to attempt other means, but those means won't have the notion of legality that impeachment has at least
The process to impeach judges requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate, right?
Idk. Maybe. Or maybe it just requires an EO and a visit from the DOGE Department. Who can say anymore?
Either way they will sew doubt through propoganda for the populous's view of the judicial branch and the executive branch will use it as a means to ignore their rulings further and cement the fact that the branches no longer can hold each other in check.
Oh, 14 US flags?
Well he probably wanted 88 but couldn't pay attention long enough.
sic semper tyrannis
I have zero interest in hearing about “activist judges” from the party that gamed the system to stack the Supreme Court with literal activists rather than serious jurists.
The nation fell by emoji. It's not worth it.
