I bet this UN campaign rally is going to get him a lot of votes from other countries!

/s

The guy is psychologically incapable of not making everything he does about himself and his accomplishments. Electing a person like that to any office involving the public trust is very dumb.

Very much not /s.

America is in the toilet. His tariffs have made prices skyrocket so high that businesses have had to openly admit that the price is too high and they realize this is the breaking point. They CANT raise the prices higher now, so theyre slashing the workforce.

Now, 100% because of Trump and anyone who voted for him, we have millions of good people (excellent hires) who are being told that they dont get a job. They dont get a place in society. And Im talking restaurants and retail stores. Nobody is hiring right now and where are the failsafes to prevent this???

Don't forget all of the people who could have voted against him, but who chose to instead sit on their asses last November or waste their vote on a write-in or third-party candidate.

It's possible using the same tactics that ended up brainwashing most MAGA psychos in the first place but I don't see it happening because of the complete lack of short-term financial incentives.

Thing is the cult is focused on Trump, not the GOP as a whole. And most cults don't survive the loss of their leader. We have plenty evidence over the past 8 years of what happens when MAGA is on the ballot, but Trump isn't. That's why the GOP is working in overdrive to try to tilt things in their favor right now.

Canada was going to elect their Trumper until Trump started the 51st state bs. Then we saw what happened. They're still not in the clear since tensions within Canada haven't improved.

Possible double post here.

But there's also just the tension between states too. Blue states are the breadwinners, healthier, more access to bodily autonomy, social freedoms yet being held back by red states and the Supreme Court.

I'm in California and anecdotally speaking, the people I know are more in favor of balkanization (or secession) than ever. "Why do we need to go down with this country when we have all these resources?"

Just to add to this, many former Nazis held powerful positions in banking, industry, and even government after WW2. The failure of denazification was one of the reasons for mass demonstrations by the younger generation, and even the formation of terror groups like Baader-Meinhof.

No country can just get rid of its Nazis. They'll always be around. What they can do is stamp out their symbols and their propaganda. Most effectively by creating an environment in which Nazis feel unable to be open without being socially ostracised instead of normalised as 'just a different opinion'.

Because Nazism isn't 'an opinion'. It's a commitment to a process of oppression and a delivery system of pain and even death for those they hate.

Very true.

Usually the happy path would be the establishment of prosperity and fairness. People are less concerned about immigration and issues of sexuality and gender when they enjoy secure employment, good housing, and available healthcare. However the US also has the problem of its own unique and virulent brand of Christian fundamentalism to overcome in addition.

The part that gets to you is how it's not even hidden or new, it's out in the open and relies on tactics that have been used for centuries. We can accurately plot out the timeline of events that led to where we are now and despite the overwhelming evidence "nothing can be done."

It's more complicated than that. America is the most powerful nation on Earth and economically wrapped up in everything

The rare online conservative that isn't a Russian troll or AI has long stopped going to bat for this administration and abandoned any talking points of making things more affordable. Instead they're latching onto the one thing that makes them truly happy, which is that people who are not them are getting it worse.
