There is no left in the USA. The Democratic party doesn’t even want people to have healthcare. This is Trump’s attack on the centre-right.

True. I retract my statement. He should be watching through the slats of a closet door.

Give the cow a strap-on and reverse their positions and i might believe it.

Yawn. Wake me when it’s JD Vance and Mike Johnson. Not a single republican in the USA gives a shit about what 2 key democrats think.

You are dead right on that point. That is the true failure of almost every democrat in the US: they all want to go back to a shitty status quo. Let’s get rid of Trump AND usher in something better.

While i agree with you up to a point, posts like yours minimize the harm that the current administration is doing. The system was bad and unfair under Biden and his predecessors, but people still had access to trials and lawyers. Police did not hide behind masks. If the government detained you in the United States, they had to acknowledge it. You didn’t just disappear, kidnapped by ice and moved to a black site outside of the country. (It was another story with afghanistan etc.) You can deplore the system that existed before Trump and still acknowledge that Trump is much, much worse.

Oakleys were cool when they were in high school. They stopped updating their worldview when they graduated (or, more likely, dropped out).

Note: I am old and I also wear sunglasses that are probably cringe. I don’t wear them in my profile photos, though.

Naw man. I agree with you up to a point, but not all religions are the same. I don’t see any Baha’i terrorists out there. Not even all Christian denominations are the same. The whackadoos are attracted to some religions more than others, and some religions foster crazy shit more than others.

That being said, I don’t want anything to do with American Evangelical Christianity. From what I’ve seen, that shit is right up there with the worst of nutjob religions.

It has started to make me question my sanity. Every week there is a headline like “Tesla sales collapse in Europe and Asia” or “Huge class action suit filed against Tesla” and the result is always the same: TSLA stock goes up.

Yeah! Isn’t deporting your workforce kind of anti-capitalist as well?

Excuse me, but we’re humans and robots, not animals. It’s called making 10ve.

This is just people waking up to reality. Trump has the White House, the senate, the House of Representatives, and the courts. He controls the military and has already begun deployment to “democratic” cities. His buddy in Texas is redistricting to help him consolidate power, and I am sure Abbot is not the only one. Every move Trump makes is designed to cripple opposition to his regime. Republican states are purging voter rolls and enacting bullshit laws designed to disenfranchise people of colour.

Milquetoast democrats have made only the most pathetic gestures of opposition to Trump. The first genuine thing Trump ever said was when he expressed surprise yesterday at how little resistance he has faced from the left. Republicans were right about one thing: the American left is a bunch of pussies.

If more Americans think political violence is the only way out of the mess Americans made, it’s probably because they are starting to develop a vague but accurate understanding of what is happening in their country.

It’s partly because of how the German elections work. They are a multi-party system and have runoffs when no one wins more than 50% of the vote. The AfD might be the top polling party with only, say, 30%. They win the first round of elections because the opposition is split between many parties, but in the runoff, voters must choose between AfD and the second most popular party. Voters who don’t like the AfD can coalesce to elect the second party, regardless of how they voted in round 1.
