You may be right… I just wish I could be as optimistic as you are. The political opposition to Trump’s changes is very, very weak, and with all the money ICE has now, I’m afraid any popular movement will be swiftly repressed.

Let’s hope US citizens are as resilient as they believe they are.

There are many counterexamples to the third reich. China and Russia have been police states for a long time, with no end in sight.

This is actually a good argument, but the problem is that the other side don’t give a dick about rationality, the rule of law or anything that looks like a coherent political opinion. Democrats are still trying to win using rules that were thrown out the window by the GOP in January.

“Championing the status quo” is not how I would describe what Republicans are doing right now.

Aren’t there primaries for the Dems?

I’m guessing librarians know how to read more than many other categories of federal workers.

I think his top priority was to avoid confrontation. He has experience with dumb politicians from his time at the bank of England.

Carney had to use a word Trump understands.

But remember folks, calling this a genocide is antisemitic.

They’re more afraid of MAGA than they’re afraid of ordinary citizens. Nothing will change until it’s the other way around.

Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.

This, 100%. Fanning the flames of outrage only works on people who are already on your side.

“This is not what I voted for”

This is why anti-American rhetoric is being pushed to you

As a Canadian, I can assure you the anti-american sentiment does not come from any rhetoric being pushed. The actions of trump and co are quite enough.

I don’t think you can claim refugee status in Canada if you are an American citizen.

At that point, he’ll die, Vance will take his place, and will be so un-charismatic that he’ll be defeated by a Democrat in 2028 which will find themselves with all this power thanks to the Supreme Court… but will prefer to take the high road and reach across the aisle only to get fucked once again.

Well, I tried.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see political opponents falling from windows before the next midterms.

This is what happens when there is no more rule of law. Now migrants are sent away, tomorrow citizens will be arbitrarily jailed and criminals freed, next political opponents will be gunned in the streets while the cops will be told to look the other way.

Wake up US. Fight this, no one will if you don’t.

Granted, but I was just pointing out that the act of burning teslas isn’t something that people do to “destroy cars so that Elon gets less money”. Mussolini wasn’t hanged upside down because his heels were stronger than his neck.

The goal is not to destroy cars, it is to destroy what it represents.
