Oh yeah make your people pay for your stupidity

That is precisely what, "his people", are for in his eyes. There is no one but him in his world.

I hope he does it. The people need to feel some pain to motivate us to put a stop to this madness, unfortunately.

Sadly MAGAs are living in a completely separate reality from the rest of the world. Unreachable with facts and figures.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It's not MAGA who I'm hoping will act. A massive coalition of leftists, run of the mill liberals or even non-maga conservatives needs to form and remove Trump from power.

I’m thinking about what is going to happen to the nation if/when trump is ousted. Because you have something like 77 million people who are living in alternative fact land. And you will have to deal with them.

I don't think that's totally accurate. A lot of those are just not paying attention and annoyed with the economy, so they just punish whoever is in power. That said there are tens of millions who are really that deluded and hateful and I don't know what to do with them. Let me them form their own little autonomous territories maybe, I'm not sure.

I think a straight up 2nd American Civil War is the only real way to fix America at this point. The establishment parties are too corrupt to save my people, and there are many terrible people who cannot be rehabilitated by anything less than a bullet.
