You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

    I hate to say it, but yes. Everything we’ve predicted from trump has come true thus far.

    The insurrection was predicted

    The migrant camps were predicted

    The ice raids were predicted

    Roe v Wade was predicted

    Selling Giving Ukraine to Russia was predicted

    Banning DEI was predicted

    The list goes on but more importantly these were all seen as hypothetical worst case scenarios. We should stop treating the next steps like they are hypothetical. America has fallen, and civil war is next.

    Former presidents at least recognized they had the responsibility to take care of both the people who voted for them and the people who didn’t. Trump only sees the people who voted for him and the people he needs to make an example of.

    I hate to say it, but the DNC is weak and won’t help us anymore. I supported Kamala like hell and believed that they could figure it out but they just don’t and won’t.

    I’m not a violent person. I hate the thought that I’d ever be forced into a situation where I need to either learn how to fight or die (because right now I’m SOL). I never wanted to find myself rooting for assassins and feeling like the world would be better off of certain people were dead. I’d rather believe the world would be better off if certain people were alive.

    But all I see in the future is a federal coup backed by sycophants in the Senate and supreme Court that then collides with the governors of blue states who won’t bend the knee.

    TL;Dr if we don’t go full dictator, we are going to civil war, and we deserve it.

      I wonder if Americans are going to rewrite history to rehabilitate Trump the same way they do their other former presidents.

        Should he allow for elections again he will be given the same reverence as Regan. I only found out about how much of a monster he was in Junior/ Senior year of highschool and I grew up in Lefty Godless Seattle.

          When he dies in the not too distant future, he’s either going to be completely rehabilitated, or he’s going to be painted as the only bad Republican.

            the only bad Republican? Nixon, Reagan, H Bush. None of those are given particularly great marks when covered in school.

      Whatever the Fed is now is going to be an existential threat to many people if it isn’t already. Governors will start picking sides I think. The Illinois governor made a pretty bold statement today.

      We have a surveillance state, though, and they control it and the narrative.

      People will need to get it together fast.

        I live in Chicago now and I’m proud of our city for resisting so hard.

        With the ICE raids, Trump’s immigration thugs complained that Chicago is near impossible to work with because they are met with such fierce resistance. We’ve been prepped for how to deal with ICE, and Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson have been helpful with that.

        The main complaint is that we all know our rights and ICE can’t just bulldoze through our city. Guess we’re the town of law and order 🤷

        Sorry NYC, your mayor is a chicken shit who would tattle on Anne Frank before the Nazis got to the door.

      Let’s not pretend like Trump gives a shit about the people who voted for him.
