Yes, I think the US as we knew it is gone. We'll see what happens in November. The fascists will not cede power, so we will see how the country reacts. I'll bet we just accept it and try to live our lives like most people do. We blew it in '24 when we had a legitimate chance.
I hate to say it but the US as we knew it has never existed. It’s always been propaganda to cover up centuries of exactly these kinds of atrocities. The only difference now is the people running the show have decided they no longer need to hide behind a mask of altruism.
I think it is significantly worse now than it has been in recent times. Both ethically and economically. The US government has been corrupt and committed atrocities around the world, but also put forth an effort to run a society. They aren't doing that anymore and are more corrupt now than I thought was possible without causing public revolt.
Honestly, I have a truly biblical amount of anger at the DNC for being such consummate imbeciles and yet again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It was basically a slam dunk… and fucking Harris and her campaign and the DNC and the fuckwit political consultants just proceeded to drill a three-pointer from half-court into their own basket.
Turns out that people won’t show up for you if they’re just kinda angry at the status quo, and your pitch is “it’ll be more of the same”.
We didn't blow it, trump and musk rigged the election and admitted to it on live TV. The math backs it up, but the media won't report on it because they're part of the coup too.
I disagree. The entire system failed. Your leaders blew it when Jan 6 had no consequences. You can't let a coup attempt go unpunished, because that will only embolden them.
Remember when we believed that "checks and balances" was a real thing. Turns out that, like the Easter Bunny, the evidence of it ever existing is highly circumstantial.
A lot of us aren’t just going to accept it.
If we have to go to civil war, fine, let’s just fucking do it.
I hope it stays peaceful and congress brings legal authority for those who want to defend democracy, but if it doesn’t stay peaceful I know a lot of people that are ready for that.
We’re all fucking tired of being abused.
I hope you are right. I hope there are enough to have an effect,
They’re obviously going to try some shit this election but I don’t think they’re going to go as hard this year as they will in ‘28. Trump doesn’t seem to really care if they lose the House because he probably plans to just ignore anything a Dem house will do anyway. He’s already blaming congressional GOP for losses when it’s almost entirely his admins policies sinking them.
The Senate is in play but I think it’s still gonna be GOP because the Senate is inherently fucking bullshit and IF it goes 51/49 to Dems, Fetterman is gonna flip. This is another reason I don’t think they’re gonna put in a lot of effort to sabotage this election. IF we somehow get a 52/48 Dem senate then I’d really expect shit to pop off.
They’re going to push and prod to find weaknesses. They’ll probably give up on the House, get everyone to let their guard down. Then use what they learn this year to really fuck things up in ‘28.
They are already trying to normalize public executions by firing squad. How long till they use it against their "political enemys"
I keep saying the last chance was 2024 and the USA fucked it up.
