I have an idea, normal thinking Americans do
I also have an idea of how many billions of dollars in lawsuits taxpayers will be on the hook for in the coming 25 years
It should come out of Trump, Musk, and Vought's money.
I have so many ideas about it, before it even began. Good luck to you all, may we survive this next fascist cycle
After surviving the last 4 years Americans have proven they can survive anything.
What I don't understand is that no one is stopping this from happening. They're all just letting it happen. Perhaps because they are afraid to lose their jobs but at what cost? I've lost all hope for this country and I wish to God I could move. Oh well.
you have to make leftists understand that the only answer is violence. we have to say this over and over until it finally clicks. the people are the last line of defense.
You don't include the Dems in "the left", right?
that's a complicated answer.
practical answer: yes
idealistic answer: no
EDIT: i think the most important answer for right now is that it doesn't matter. this situation will not be resolved through voting. the mid terms might help alleviate the problem, but that's a long time from now and things could get a lot worse if people don't pull their heads out of their asses now.
So am I. I'm still doing ok.
For now, you may not be next but eventually you might be in their crosshairs.
I'm fucked either way, as a mailman lol between the contract debacle and the privatization threats. I'm just sick of it all. Just saying that I'm not worried about it. Yet.
The U.S.A. is done. Such sabotage by Trump, Musk and MAGA takes decades to recover from. 40 to 50 at least; rebuilding the civil service, amending all the laws back to normal, fixing the Supreme Court, probably needing Constitutional amendments. This easily echos for a hundred years.
Yup.
It will take decades of scraping and clawing things through Congress to get back what we're going to lose in a few short years. Assuming our government is even recognizable by the end of this.
If you have the means, it may actually be time to make another country home. If you don't, you need to come to terms that you will probably spend the rest of your life living in a declining nation where your rights are threatened.
Honestly theres a good chance that the US may collapse, its tied pretty thoroughly to capitalism which is also showing signs of hitting its end point. Its possible that within the next four years even that the US will be 50 individual countries with the federal government no longer existing. The very problems that are allowing Trump and Musk to wreck shit is the same type of problems that collapse empires, and theres no American equivalent to Russia for the USSR or Serbia for Yugoslavia.
What do you think the chances of this happening? I hope it does. America is a cancer on the world. Even before drumpf and president Elon fuck
Depends how much Trump and Musk fuck with the states. If they continually piss off the bigger or blocks of states you could see one or two declare independence, that could cause a cascade of states declaring independence like with the former Soviet Republics. But its also possible that the states just start ignoring the federal government which eventually loses its authority.
