From your mouth to Satan’s ears!
Hopefully! The world would be a far better place. Globally and domestically.
Conservative policies just have their own heads up their asses sucking Trump’s rich spoiled cock
Lets hope!
You put it all on orange and spun the wheel
What’s really happened is we’ve had our global dominance thrown away. We took the lead because of WW1 and WW2. It’s not because we’re great. It’s not because we manifested our destiny to become the leader of the world. It’s because factories in Europe were bombed to smithereens. That’s what allowed the U.S to achieve financial dominance. Now we’re in the fall.
And the U.S. got all the money to build up their industrial base by the fact that they were they only country able to give out loans to the European nations fighting in the First World War since every european country spent everything they had and then some fighting each other.
World War One represented the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world. It was bigger than the economic exploitation by the British Empire of Africa, India and Asia combined. In four years, the U.S. basically held all the cards and (I know this is controversial) only ended up getting involved militarily when it seemed possible that the allies would lose and therefore be unable to pay off their loans.
And you know what…all credit to the Americans; they took that new found wealth and built up the strongest, most powerful industrial base the world had ever seen; an industrial base that, without which, the second world war would have been nearly impossible to win (Russian blood, British Strategy, American Industry…isn’t that the saying?)
It’s what they proceeded to do with that industrial base afterwards that lead us to where we are now.
And the Soviets were the main opposition in ww2 so they were also destroyed.
America swooped in at the end, took the credit and used their position of barely having taken any damage to assert global dominance.
We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years.
I sure fucking hope so, you piece of shit.
I hope this leads into demolishing republican party and moving on from the clearly faulty two party nonsense of a system. You can’t keep functioning if you’re on the verge of becoming authoritarian regime with oligarchs.
First time ever that I hope Rand Paul is correct. Don’t threaten me with a good time Rand Paul!
So things aren’t necessarily all bad.
Good. You nazi fucks deserve all the pain that comes to you.
What will probably happen is a one or two term slump. What’s different between then and now is the internet and social media, which fills most people’s brains with a deluge of noise. In addition to the effects of misinformation daily telling people that the moon is the sun, most algorithms prioritize novelty, and nothing’s more novel than the most stupidly wrong-headed take. We constantly hear the opinions of people who should be laughed out of the room! We sit and chuckle, but there’s tens of millions of people who have poor media skills who it can actually influence.
We may have a perfect storm, so to speak. Economic stupidity will lose them dominance. However, hopefully, by the time they would gain again we’ll have a die off of boomers and other retired that come out to vote more now. We’ll have a refresh of retired voters. Gen X is coming up. From my small sample of us, we’re more Democrat leaning. Hopefully a wider sample size is the same.
Unfortunately GenX skewed way more right than all other generations including boomers in the last election
Reality doesn’t matter. People’s perception of reality does.
I get what you mean but accurate understanding of reality matters in terms of survival, there is a reason the most elderly groups actually shifted left in 2024 compared to 2020, Covid killed a lot of rightwing anti-mask elderly people.
Further, one’s ability and proclivity to vote can also be impacted by their financial situation. And people who ignore reality are perpetually at risk of losing their wealth due to poor planning, bad investments, or even outright scams. Seeing as we are about to hit a major economic disaster this is also going to effect elections in the future.
Maybe the real long term way to win this is to encourage everyone who is GOP and screwing us over, to instead just focus them on how bad their own vaccines are
Help them die off faster, saving most of the country’s sick…
It’s just a shame these people’s stupidity has to affect us. So, hard choices have to be made, not concessions with Nazis
This depends on what safeguards (if any) are put in place after he’s kicked out, and if we’re still stuck with two opposing ‘teams’ that are both purely beholden to the oligarchs.
Germany stayed fascist-resistant for a long, long time. But they were compelled to.
If he actually moves against Canada and/or Mexico and others step in, that could happen again.
This also assumes the outcome of such a move is not in his favor. (which i’d like to think is likely
And whoever that fuckung prick was on the show clearly still defends Trump and says he has the intuition? This dude bankrupted four casinos. Just die already
Oh no!
… Anyway.
The optimist angle would be that Trump is secretely a Democrat agent, and that by crashing the stock market he just thinks it’s over-valued and wants to return to 2018~ levels.
Optimism at this point is delusion. Today is the official start of the hard times.
Ah what a nice fantasy to cogitate on for a few moments
I used to be a swing voter before Trump, after this admin, I will never vote for a Republican again. Especially since most support him.
Guess who is using data illegally gathered from social security to prevent legal voters from voting? If you guessed the king in orange you’d be right.
They have been purging voter rolls all over the country for a long time now. But their methods have vastly improved recently. In the swing states last year they purged 3.5 million voters. In the midterms next year they want to challenge the eligibility of everyone.
Only voters with a passport or original birth certificate would be allowed to vote.
The administration also just enacted task force teams to supposedly ensure election security
Which basically means the people who did election fraud just recently and staged a coup against the government, are now in charge of ensuring that the elections are securely done
… That is the things of dictatorships
I will go to my grave before I support a Republican for anything. I wouldn’t vote for a Republican for street sweeper.
I feel the same about both parties. I won’t vote for either, ever again
