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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
Donald Trump is a dictator dressed up as a president, that is clear. However, Rosie O'Donnell supported Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, so she is neo-liberal, shit-lib herself. Must be nice to have all that money you can hide in another country, and return when it is safe. She is part of the bigger problem. Eat the rich!
Eh, I'd argue all us president have done dictator shit in one way or another, usually it's just aimed at the global south. Trump is unique in that he's using the gun of empire and training it on citizens instead which is new. Agree though that she is a shitlib, she sucks.
everybody forgets that barack obama drone murdered US citizens and not a single consequence was had
You're not wrong, but I don't think anyone cares who it's happening to. The issue is that it's happening to -someone- and setting up precedence.
he won the popular vote. he's not a dictator, he's exactly what the american people want
the US is not a democratic country, this is a silly statement.
“Did not vote” won the presidency, as it has nearly every election since like 1908.
Not arguing right vs left...it is a uni-party system. We need a proper 'working class' party that fights for workers, a third party.
...a vanguard party?
Can we call him a dictator when future elections are brazenly stolen or cancelled?
A country held captive under duress cannot be said to be a democracy. When you control the choices you control the outcome.
What if the American people want a dictator? They're not incompatible. This country is so cooked we have democratic fascism, two major parties arguing over whether zyklon B is fiscally responsible
