"The American experiment endures,"

I would say it just failed. I'm sorry but a system that elects a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi's and dictators, and this was just the first term. I'm sorry but by any metric I care to meaure it by this is a failed experiment.

Press X to doubt.

I really can't understand the level of "history is over here" most of the West seems to be on. It's a delusion that has to break down eventually, but apparently we're not there yet.

Guy surrendering power says it’s gonna be okay.

Guy taking power says we’re coming for you motherfuckers. Hm, who to believe?

Why didn’t you prosecute any treasonous criminals? Useless coward.

Fuck off Biden, now's the time to use that presidential immunity you just got to attack enemies of the state before your term ends. It's legal!

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The "American experiment" as far as I am aware is one of "self-governance".

It arguably has never been tried in earnest since the founding of this country, at very least failed entirely in 2016 with Russia's influence and the zero consequences that rose from that, and was likely dealt a critical now by the citizens united decision which all but guaranteed that rich people would decide our elections for us in the future.

No. We're not

[-] Buttflapper@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Joe Biden will be fine. He could care less.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 hours ago

I mean, maybe. I'm calling it that at least one Democratic party figure will get gotten in a show trial.

Considering Gen Z boys voted heavily for Shitler, I don't ever want to hear "OK boomer" again. Gen Z is a generation of infantile incels who refuse to vote for a woman.

We aren't going to be okay. Stop saying it's going to be okay. Project 25 is not okay, turning Gaza into a crater is not okay, banning abortion is not going, cutting Medicare is not okay. None of this shit is okay. Stop trying to sit and act like being cordial is going to make the right go, "Well, they're being so nice about it." We fucked up, and we need to face the consequences.

He just means technically we will probably survive. Maybe.

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh look... it's Genocide Joe.

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Get ready for Uber genocide donnie

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Now that you mention it, we have genocide nicknames for the Biden and Harris administration but not yet for Trump.

Any suggestions? Needs to be catchy that starts with a T or D

[-] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Look, it's a Putin Peter Puffer? How does it taste, tovarisch?

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 19 points 6 hours ago

the "we" he refers to is not us

[-] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

His "We" aren't even watching, they're sunbathing off the coast of Cancun

[-] anticurrent@sh.itjust.works 31 points 7 hours ago

By we he means, them and their wealthy friends, and the celebrities they paraded during the last campaign. Struggling people can eat dirt.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 53 points 9 hours ago

And this is exactly what's wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should've run. They're too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it's like for most Americans, and clearly they don't care because they've never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn't vote.

3 days ago, it was going to be the last election, the ultimate election, the end times, the end of democracy. Now we'll be fine?

Pre-election Dems and post-election Dems cannot both be right. One of the two is lying.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 hours ago

it's just that democrats give republicans too much good faith and try to be the better people; both things can be true.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 hours ago

So... pre-election Democrats were not being the better people??? I really don't get this.

I am convinced that Project 2025 is coming to your country and that trumpism is the most dangerous modern day neo-fascist strain. I actually believe the pre-election Democrats. You don't appease fascism, you don't give it good faith, you resist it, you fight it, you crush it.

This about-face of the post-election Democrats is insane and it feeds directly into the "boy who cried wolf" narrative that the Right is pushing. Not to mention they are normalizing trumpism.

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I have never felt a desire to become a terrorist. Until Tuesday night.
