It would have been awesome if my idiot fucking countrymen had done the barest scintilla of research and realized that this was always his fucking game plan

They voted conservative, what did they expect?
If you want your life to get better, you vote left, if you want it to get worse, you vote right.
We've got the whole 20th century as evidence of this
Well.
It depends on your tax bracket and property values, doesn't it?
I'm in the top bracket, tax me more, the world gets better when you do
But also, frankly maybe tax wealth over work.
Work is productive to society, wealth is parasitic.
Property values (sensibly) go down with appropriate wealth tax.
i'm in the lowest tax bracket, but someday I'll be on the top... 🤦
There another option, you believe only the local rich employer can help you.
Grew up in a small town with only one big employer. If they said bigger taxes would mean layoffs, will the town hated the idea of bigger taxes., because the employer was seen as the only things keeping a respectable and comfortable lifestyle possible in the community.
Welfare was both inadequate and shameful, and other than that, they didn't see upside to government spending. The big projects they see were things like building a big bypass for a big city to have better traffic. Meanwhile all the infrastructure spending closer to home was less dramatic. The roads thanklessly kept drivable without any dramatic news coverage. The local medical center kept afloat by federal spending without anyone really highlighting that. Easy to make the narrative that big government takes your money and gives it to city folk, and anything the employer does to the community is forced by big bad government.
A minimum 1/3 of the US is comprised of Nazis. Nearly every poll shows this.
It never stops shocking me how awful people are. All it took was trump taking the muzzle off for a huge chunk of the country to reveal what shitty people they are.
Then. Do. Something. About. It.
If there are really two thirds of you, it shouldn't be too hard to stop this shit
If you respect the Constitution, then you have to let it play out. A year from now are the Midterm Elections, with Congress on the line. How they behave around that will determine what happens beyond that.
Will they openly suppress the vote as much as possible? Absolutely, but how far will that go? Do they refuse to sweat in the winning Dems, and illegally keep their majority?
What if they invent an excuse to suspend elections? That's a bright red line. No election had ever been suspended in American History, not even during the Civil War. For many, that would signal the end of Democracy, and the official beginning of a Civil War, although it would look very weird in the beginning. The first steps would be Blue states refusing to cooperate with the illegitimate MAGA Congress.
110% this shit. It'll be a slow but powerful buildup. People just think we're sitting on our fat asses going: "Lol. Whoopsies! Guess we have a Nazi president! Our bad," No! The No Kings protests alone prove we're already unhappy. If they try something as serious as the suspension of an election in this environment? Suicide for them.
Well, what are you guys gonna do about it?
I'm mad as heck and oh look new Netflix series!
And just like that...nothing changed.
They did this a lot during the first junta too. Lots of polls as to how disliked he was.
Didn’t change one fucking thing.

Also want to vote Trump for a third term.
We need to start impeaching and recalling every damn politician up the chain until we have people who will fucking do something.
We have been on the wrong track for decades. Luckily Trump lit that wrong track on fire and strapped us in while accelerating towards a pit of despair
If the last 10 years have proven anything, it's that Americans are REEEEEEAAAAALLY fucking stupid.
Whether the majority of America disapproves of this fascist or not, it's a nation of dimwits and we're going to keep voting against ourselves. It's why we're here to begin with. Trump didn't make any of this happen. He's a fucking idiot. We did it to ourselves, because too many of us are beyond stupid.
Sorry for being a downer, but I expect this ship to keep sinking for the remainder of my life. I've seen too much stupid to believe otherwise.
*Randy looks out the window to see a 93 year old grandmother being slowly chased and tackled by a 340 pound limp-jogging, hyperventilating, otherwise unemployable 32 year old virgin in a balaclava in 90 degree heat and desert camo vest in the middle of the suburbs. His tactical armor vest, which was sold to him with a cardboard plate that he thinks is bulletproof, also has the word "fedirel" spelled wrong on the name plate. On the bottom, he wears Buffalo bills sweatpants with the logo colored in with black sharpie.
*Randy goes back to polling agency's phone call
"You know, I'm starting to think the country might be approaching the possibility of entering the wrong track eventually, maybe... If this keeps up for another 12-15 years, things could start to potentially get a little bleak.... Uh huh, no I don't mind sharing that info with you, I am what they call an undecided voter cuz I ain't one a these liberal sheeps"
It all came as a surprise. Before the elections he seemed to be so sane.
Most Americans say country is on the wrong track, blame Trump for inflation, disapprove of the president and say he is going too far to expand power of presidency
Democrats: "Oh shit, this is actually working, quick, find 8 fall guys to let the budget pass!"
(yes, that is really happening- 8 democrats have broken with the party and said they would be willing to vote for it.)
I don't see any news to corroborate that claim. Link?
Oh Democrats definitively are out of touch, but to compare that to how the Republic Republicans are out of touch is slightly disingenuous
Gotta get past that whole "Two-thirds" because it's that one-third that voted for him and elected him to office.
Does no one love Jodie Foster anymore?
