It's crazy how close to full on authoritarianism the US has become in only 7 months.
Stay tuned. It's going to get much worse before the American people actually do something about it.
Trumps approval rating is in the low 40s. Almost half this country are cheering it on.
Even then I doubt Americans will do much. We’re not a smart bunch.
Americans were like that during the Bush years. Illegal wars, torture, inept cronyism.
I kind of excused some of that due to societal PTSD from 9/11 but in retrospect around half of Americans just fucking suck.
One could see how bloodthirsty they were as soon as they saw the opportunity to have extrajudicial punishment and the opportunity to kill a lot of brown people.
societal PTSD from 9/11
I feel 9/11 was less of a "we were struck by the ravages of war" and more of a "how dare they shoot back" event. If it was like the bombing of London by the Nazis, that makes most people reluctant to go to war instead of making war popular.
I mean, who looks at 9/11 and says "we want more of this"? Apparently most Americans?
This is not even close to the same thing as the Bush years.
This post deserves more attention. It's disappointing how short people's memory is and how few can see the bigger picture. It didn't start with Trump and it's not going to end with him. I like to think of this administration like a comic relief that's not very funny.
The current regime is just the next step in authoritarian fascism from the Trump era. Democrats should have arrested and exposed all the criminals but they prefer neoliberal economics and performative actions over justice.
What's new is that an American politician uses all the dirty tricks on the US itself instead of a country on the other side of the globe.
republicans are dumber than dogshit, I swear.
it's not dumb, it's just textbook fascism, this is straight out of Mussolini's playbook
The voters are dumb as dirt though.

Fascist States of Murikka
I think it says something interesting that the American criticism of an American dictator put in place by corporatism is talking about that time America helped one its corporations conquer South American countries.
By firing him, trump ironically directly decreased the number of employment
The bellends own words "... replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes". There is tragedy that we need social media to call out his misleading the public.
I'm confused -- if he knew Trump was going to be so mad, why didn't he just release better numbers? That's how it used to work in the USSR and plenty of people were able to keep their government jobs.
It’s probably tied up with the Epstein files and who is in them. A diversion.
How long before this and similar sites for rational and civilised discours are "banned" in the US.?
Oddly, bananas seem to be one of the few items relatively untouched by inflation.
Sorry to disappoint but that name is already taken. Lithuania is banana republic.
Let's see what kind of creature he puts in her place to only bring favorable to Trump news.
