Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Would be cool if we could have a no confidence vote and snap election
Oh well
Yeah we could elect Cory Booker who could rename the gulf of mexico back but keep every other one of trumps policies
That's what's gonna happen isn't it. If dems are allowed to win the next election, their choice will be a neolib with no political will to reverse even the most minor changes under Trump.
All those people rotting in El Salvador? Out of our jurisdiction, but we'll be really mad about it around election season(s) until the last inmates are dead.
USAID and Dept of Education? All the fired civil servants? Sorry, we inherited a bad economy from Trump so we can't afford to undo anything.
Vaccination programs slashed? Bird flu preparedness? We saw how well Biden worked on these.
ICE rounding up kids in the street? Look, we can't afford to litigate the immigration issue before we control the House/senate!
Global war? We must continue Trump's policy of pursuing maximum pressure against our enemies, we can't turn back now.
Like I know this is also the point and Dems don't actually want to undo Trump's evil but everyone else on earth has to live with that reality until enough people get hungry for a real revolution.
It will take a while for people to be hungry enough for a real revolution to...though trump seems to be speed running the deterioration of material conditions. But there is also a dearth of good political education and a torrent of red scare propaganda. Hopefully peoples minds can change quick
If we look back at George Floyd, although the uprising was quelled and dems stole all the momentum and proceeded to double down on the police state, there are some positives. The main positive for me was how quickly public sentiment shifted. People I didn't expect were suddenly admitting that structural racism is a problem (including my father who voted for trump in 2016) and even a lot of people open to the idea of defunding the police. I hope that public sentiment can surprise us with how radical it can turn especially fueled by an ungodly cost of living crisis that trump seems to be hell bent on unleashing. Just look at the response to Luigi, people intuitively understand the concept of social murder and can be radical when things are that fucked up.
Accelerationism (to 2028)
Please no I'm watching this shitshow from afar
I mean, who would be the alternative though?
Lol if Bernie actually ran again i'd write in HRC
Interim US President John "Guy" Doe is ready to take the reigns
To fucking Trump and Musk? Ted Cruz would be an improvement
Maybe but Ted Cruz would lose a Presidential election to Charles Manson.
I'm saying, who even has the elite backing and popular support to replace Trump right now? I don't think anyone does, really.
Anyway, he's seemingly doing some good JDPON work here.
