"unelected"

he got up to stage and said he bought the fascist candidate. lots of people saw that and said "that's OK, I'll still vote red" and even more people saw that and said "that's OK, I'll still not vote". around 160 million people saw this and were OK with it. yeah he wasn't elected, but the "dictator on day one" was.

This right here.

They had a website for two years with a detailed plan. Project 2025 was widely known an people either voted for it or stayed at home. The dildo of consequences, as they say...

[-] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

A good run? 2 years of actually peace since the us existenz is your benchmark for a good run?

[-] emmy67@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Did we all forget the elected one put the unelected one in power?

democracy

Looks inside

oligarchy

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

And completely broken and idiotic and easily manipulated voting system.

Democracy must be fragile af if this is all it takes to topple it

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Using first-past-the-post and giving a president too much power is fragile, yes.

Proportional election and a president with much less power is far safer. Some stuff takes a while to become a law, but at least it'll be an actual agreement instead of an order.

They have been eroding education and disenfranchising voters for decades. He loves the poorly educated, you know?

Democracy resisted for quite some time despite glaring problems.

See the Business Plot of 1933 that was undermined by a Medal of Honor-recipient and Major General, Smedley Butler whom they tried to recruit for the coup.

Most good things are fragile. And with most things it just takes a few assholes to ruin it.

Capitalism's natural and unavoidable end stage.

Amerikkka never had real democracy

Democracy

Looks inside

Constitution written exclusively to protect monopoly business interests and prevent a monarchy

seems legit lol

[-] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I'm sure that giving rights to everyone (amendments are part of the Constitution!) was purely for business interests ...

"Democracy"

[-] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

USA is a kakistocracy of the oligarchs

Change my mind

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

Thats a new word for me! What's it mean?

Kekistocracy

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago

People who believe in 250 years of democracy enable systemic racism, patriarchy, etc.

Libs, please grow up.

The average age of an empire is 250 years, now were going to find out what's going to replace it.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Well, not some of us I’m sure.

Dude losses an election and it's instantly "everybody I don't like is Hitler" combined with the end of democracy as we know it lmao 🤣

And then you wonder why people don't take you guys seriously outside of your echo chamber.

[-] 0xD@infosec.pub 0 points 2 weeks ago

So you're just ignoring everything that is happening and just laughing at stuff you don't understand?

Unfortunately, uninformed people like you are the loudest and most active, so you will bring us all down. Enjoy your superiority complex while you still can.

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

Surely doubling down is the correct rhetorical move here.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They still don't understand why they lost.

The stunlock is real.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

The dude gas room temp IQ, what else should be said?
