remember until it affects them personally in a negative way they don’t care about what this administration does. This is what make it so difficult to change a large population of trump supporter’s minds, because they seem to not have much empathy for anyone but themselves.
GODDAMN IT. Every fucking thing that happens in this world has to be some kind of fucking conspiracy to these people. Nothing can just be what it is.
I’ve always felt like Star Wars the original 3 (4,5 and 6) were a product of their time. They aren’t bad movies but they aren’t great movies either, but for whatever reason they struck a chord with the population in the late 70’s and early 80’s. George Lucas should have just let them be there really was no reason to make any more of them, but money.
Give it time and there will be the option of Gigantic Corp paying for your teeth if you grow their logo on them.
Honestly it wouldn’t be too little to late if the reps in the house and senate grew a spine and pushed back as well. But I think that they have had it too cushy for too long and don’t actually know how to govern.
Genuine question:
How do courts and the legal system actually enforce these decisions? I can’t see US Marshalls walking into the White House and handcuffing trump. So what is it that they can do, if anything?
Quit enjoying your life with games and get back to making me and my billionaire buddies more money you slacker!
History shows us that you can safely assume Trump is lying when he says something
will be good for the Amrican people. Full stop.
FTFY
Another data point (if you needed one) that republicans and billionaires only give a shit about something when it affects them personally.
Illegal deportations - not their problem
threats to journalists - not their problem
dehumanizing specific groups of people - not their problem
thousands of federal employees losing their jobs overnight - not their problem
defying constitutional amendments - not their problem
Fuck with their ability to hoard more money - Shit we need to do something!
Ex-spouse: (on the phone with parents) My ex-wife has invited us over for beef wellington.
Ex-spouse’s parents: Hasn’t she tried to kill you like four times before? Why would you accept this invitation?
Ex-spouse: well her beef wellington is to die for!
Ex-spouse’s parents: Well that’s good enough for us, were in see you a 6
What are the realistic potential outcomes of everything going on?
Not sure. I don’t think anyone really is.
Part of the reason that there are not big protest yet is that many many people that do disagree with the administration have/had been looking towards the Democratic party to fight back. But that isn’t happening which is adding to the shock and awe of things. Truly Americans don’t really know what to do and without a large organizing presence to help drive a big push back there really isn’t anything being done.
I do hope that someone steps up soon and starts to organize a push back. Haven’t seen it yet.
There are a lot of European keyboard warriors that don’t seem to know much about America (other than social media) that keep trying to call out Americans for not “protesting right.”
It shows that they have no clue about the size of the country or the fact that the shock and awe that started this administration knocked everyone on their heels and only now are we starting to mobilize.
I can understand your point of not wanting to travel to the US and you’re correct that there is a high number of people that have a negative view of anyone “different” than them. And I would probably say it’s a good idea not to for the reason you gave and more, but there are many very passionate people that are fighting for the rights of everyone in America, they just don’t get the press so it can be easily interpreted that no one in the US cares.
There are rotten people in power and due to their station they have control of the microphone which makes it sound like that is what everyone thinks. That isn’t true.
I honestly think that both parties like to not be in power for this very reason. All the money and none of the responsibilities. Pretty sweet setup
JFC I’d actually appreciate the maga version of the Democrats.
These fictional Democrats are organized, well funded, cohesive and seem to have a great long term strategy for ruining republicans. With an organization like that you’d think that they would be in control of the government?
I think nothing would elevate the hatred of billionaires more than if they buy up the national parks for their own private estates.
Great Smokey national park is now the walton’s family compound
Rocky Mountain National park is now the gates compound
Yosemite becomes musk’s outdoor playground
The grand canyon is bezo’s now
Just writing that elevated my blood pressure
Great list, thank you for putting it together!
No it’s not the government that is stealing from us its the Uber wealthy that use our tax money (that should be going to the greater good of the citizens of the country) for their own gain.
