While you are right, Trump allowed that shit to be amplified and legitimizing it. The republicans (at least the more sensible ones) always knew that part of their electorate was into rabid conspiracies, but they would at least town things down, and did not allowed that shit to get much traction. With Trump, that become their bread and butter. Alternative facts, fake news, and all that shit!

You overestimate his supporters long term memory. You're still only 6 months in, still 3.5 years left to go. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

I find it too creepy... can't stand looking at it. It's like the love child of Chucky and M3GAN, turned into a cheap inflatable sex doll. It's nightmare fuel, if you ask me!

I'm sure they will somehow, implicate Joe Binder in it.

Yes, absolutely, and they are right, in the sense that it is a good plan to achieve their goals, along with blocking education to people! Because not only people have a very short memory, but most are ignorant and lack education to make an informed choice that benefits them.

My fraternal grandmother, even after the dictatorship ended, continued to praise the oppressive regime, until she died, and she was barely literate! And this is one of the reasons to why I believe that US citizens really need to understand what it means to lose their freedoms and liberties. Because at least, those who just have a short memory, will remember more easily... The uneducated ones, or the fundamentalist evangelist zealots... those are a lost cause!

There are already reports, that the literacy rating is declining in the US, on both adults and children. I think it's pretty clear what this will lead to... And you know why am so fucking exhausted? Because I also think that the left in the US is responsible for your current situation. If Trump was never elected in 2016, that would have served as a rebuke to Trumpism and to the erosion of political norms... The republicans would continue to be republicans, but not sycophants that enabled their party to turn into a cult!

And at least from my personal perspective, I went above and beyond to try to convince the Americans friends I had online, to not get complacent! At the time, I ran a website that was dedicated mostly to a gay community, and around 50% of the users were from the US. The site had around 300k users, and I made a post appealing to every American on the site to please go vote, and tried to, with little to no success, convince the guys I was closer to, to please vote on Hillary. I'm not sure I was able to breakthrough, and many of them, sometimes would even reply to me aggressively, that they would never vote for Hillary.

I'm a progressive... I would have loved to see Bernie get nominated in the primary, but sadly, that didn't happened... And even Bernie, also ended up endorsing Hillary. And I'm tired of hearing Americans blaming exclusively the Democrats when they, who have the power to vote, decline any responsibility on the matter. Everyone is to be blamed, from top to bottom. So yes... I'm exhausted because the progressive left in the US, is aiming for the Moon, and ends up shooting their own foot, and fuck the rest of the world in the process! Aim lower... AIM LOCAL! I know you guys have that stupid law that parties can only receive funds for campaign if they have at least get 5% of the votes in the preceding election, and above that you have the electoral college. It's all fucked up! So you either start doing it slowly, and locally first, so you can very slowly put more and more progressives in government, or if you're waiting to suddenly reach Mars like Elon, you will fail MISERABLY! And now, you are seeing the consequences of that failure.

Again, I'm sorry for the long long "rant", but I've tried to help as much as I possibly could, and it makes me sad to see this happening, also because, the rise of right-wing all around the world, and specially in Europe, was also propelled by the immense cultural power and reach the US has. Even things we did not used to have like vaccine hesitancy, or crazy conspiracies like "the Moon landing is fake", have now become part of the daily discourse in here, when this was absolutely never an issue before. The US political propaganda, on the Internet, not only it affected the US, but it has also affected Europe. Brexit was also result of that.

I hope people understand why it's also very exhausting to everyone else, even when not being a US citizen. We are suffering the consequences of your (in)actions, and without any power to turn the tide.

Again, good luck to everyone, we are going to need it!

But that's not what they are thinking. For them, they think it's easier to escape justice, otherwise, why commit a crime that lands you decades of not even the rest of your life behind bars? If that was the case, then laws would be obsolete and pointless. Laws exist not only to punish, but also to serve as deterrence. Obviously some people like this dumbass, think they are smarter and can get away!

I understand that.

Clearly, you don't

That's an easy one to answer. If they divorce, they have to split their possessions. If one of the partner dies, the other gets to inherit all, if no will is made to state otherwise.

I honestly don't get it either... And I have nothing against porn, but some of these just sound and look like cheap copy/pastes and probably with little to no interactivity or gameplay. I'm curious to see how they are now, if only for comedic value.

Satire is dead...

My parents already lived through a dictatorship, and I know the struggles that came along with it, including a post-colonial war and being subject to a thought police, that persecuted and prosecuted anyone, just for owning specific books, many of which were not even political. So while I have not lived through it, my parents did, much worse than you, and I was raised in a post-dictatorship regime completely aware of what the previous generation had to go through, thank you very much!

And has the old saying goes... "Those who forget history, are doomed to repeat itself", and considering you are on the second Trump term, just after a 4 year hiatus, you guys must have the memory of a gold fish.

PS - I had a much longer and extensive post originally, but quite honestly, I do not want to enter a debate about this. But what you guys need is though love. In fact I believe that the only way that the US can escape the current political paradigm, is if you go full dictatorship, live under it for a few decades, and finally have a revolution. You are constantly on a situation where you move 1 step ahead, and 2 backwards, shifting between Democrats and Republicans, and with neither having the will to make a meaningful change to the system. I could say much much much more, but I wont, if only because, I no longer have the bandwidth for US politics, as I have already stated!

Good luck!

I used to watch "Late shows" on YouTube, but after the 2nd time Trump got elected, I stopped consuming any political content from the US, and again after the "Liberation Day", I stopped consuming any US produced media (including YouTube content creators). I just can't deal with so much "Trump content", nor do I want to keep to, in any manner, help content that thrives on that.

I just can't deal with a second season of "The House of Trump".

I'm not implying that this is why it got cancelled, just expressing the reason to why I even stopped watching it, on YouTube. Can't say if others have done the same or not, but following American politics is... exhausting.
