That's why the courts and the legacy media and the bulk of the political establishment have been at the very least enabling him - because what he's in fact doing, and has been doing since the beginning, is working for the explicit benefit of himself and his moneyed class cronies, to the detriment of everyone else.
Luigi worried them, he didn't cause them fear. It's also going to take more than one single event. A line in the sand needs to be made with actual lethal consequences for crossing it. Until that happens they'll continue doing whatever makes them richer at the expense of literally the rest of the world. One single Luigi changes nothing. A million Luigi's would permanently solve the problem.
You know when we say change we mean more fundamental than the capitalist class enacting stricter security. We mean course correcting change. We're still on our way to the splitting of the US and feudal "Network States".
The post assassination stock price dip wasn’t even the lowest price their stock hit in the last 52 weeks and it recovered pretty much immediately.
I was asking about that the other day. I am not even a little surprised.
As I keep saying, but very few people seem to believe it, as much as I sympathize with Luigi Mangione, you can't assassinate your way out of capitalism. That is simply not how systemic problems are fixed. Especially when literally every person in a corporation, including a CEO, is disposable.
It's basically what set off WWII and the rise of nazism. The west, monarchies and wealthy owner class saw the rise of communism and wanted to enable or at least let go of the leash that held back a mad dog set on reestablishing a new world order with their friends at the top. It also helped the legacy wealthy people that the mad dog turned his attention to the east and wanted to destroy the heart of communism. It nearly did as it killed 20 million in the eastern front and set back the soviets decades while the west accelerated with wealth.
It's always been a class war ..... when you think about it, it's never stopped.
I still think "class war" is the most accurate term for it though, and the fact that the working class isn't (yet) fighting it is just the biggest reason that the moneyed class is winning (so far).
Pretty soon you're going to need necromancy to summon him, sadly enough. He has no heir apparent other than maybe AOC, and the well has been so thoroughly poisoned on her that I wonder if she can be effective.
Wow, really? But I thought he wanted to make Mexico and Denmark pay for things, and do all's kinda of stuff to help people?
It's almost like some fucking idiots voted a guy into office who doesn't care about them, and wants to create a feudalistic state or something. Like...who ever even saw that coming?
Unfortunately that's not how a large portion of the population sees it. To many the economy a president inherits matters more than the state they leave it in.
Fuck you. Fuck anyone surprised by any of this. They wrote it down. They lied to your face and laughed when they were called out. If you are feigning surprise you're either willfully ignorant or outright mental.
I was listening to a podcast (Professional Left) and they played a clip of some caller who was saying the country voted for donvict because they wanted him to ignore the Constitution in order to deal with the emergency (I think she was talking about the border) and then "hopefully" he'd restore it afterwards.
JFC, these people are so very fucking stupid. I know, I know, Yahweh forbid we blame the fucking stupid voters that voted for this shit. Obviously this is all Biden and Kamala's fault.
I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that's besides the point.
The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people's loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that's apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.
I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.
He should have. Dude should have been born earlier, beaten George Bush when running for president in 2000, and been president to stop Osama. It's so clear now. Thank you... /s
Any advice on what to do about a TEACH grant that I served 3 of my 4 years ago before my state decided that trannies can’t be teachers? Did a “borrowers defense,” was told they’d maybe look into in a year lol
Of course not! I was referring to the months remaining of theater. People need time to adjust, so they won't be announcing the switch to monarchy until the last moment.
I'm sure they will have started grooming his successor by then. Even if he tries to push for extending term limits his cognition will be on a steep decline at that point.
It’s defined as “Everything I might have to expend emotional or intellectual effort to understand and be placed in a position where I might be inconvenienced, proven what I’m used to doing is wrong, or demonstrate consideration that the thoughts and feelings of others might be different than my own.”
It sucks being right about all this because going "I told you this would happen" during the worst crisis America has faced since the civil war just makes us look petty and a dick.
I tried warning people about this. I wanted Trump in jail. I wanted Biden to push for large reforms to make people turn away from Trump's lies about how he will personally fix the economy. I wanted the court packed into overturning every bad choice they made in the last 20 years.
And I was called defeatist and pessimistic. "It takes time to arrest someone for a crime they committed." "Bringing that issue up would be political suicide."
"I mean, did you see that trans athlete in some state I've never even been to, and have no plans on visiting?! That has serious impact to my life!!! We must elect Strong Leader to fix this, stat!" <- just about every qon idiot
Trans people, woke people, gay people, black people. They would've just use everything that is popular to hate in america, and they are too dumb to realise that.
"""Despite claiming to stand for "hardworking American families" — who are typically considered to be a different category of human beings than woke Marxist transgender green-dealers, at least within the Fox Cinematic Universe""" 😂
The whole problem is Supply Side Jesus is taking his sweet ass time coming back. Therefore, the nut bags at the Heritage Foundation have to crash the world via disease, war, famine, and death.
Found the clip where some donvict supporter calls into C-Span, advocating to just ignore the Constitution under Donvict, because, well, that's what "the people" voted for.
Just crazy stuff. Why this hasn't gone viral, I don't know.
I was really surprised at first that it was a woman, but then it became pretty clear that she was an old, white woman, and then it at least made more sense. She's (presently) unaffected by any of the bullshit that is being thrust upon women of child-bearing age, the persons of color, the non-binary folk, the young people hurt most by skyrocketing housing costs, etc; and she's thoroughly unapologetic about her lack of empathy for any of those groups of her fellow Americans. Goddamn, what a bummer.
EDIT: Then I made the mistake of continuing to listen, and half or moreall of the callers for the next 20 minutes are brainwashed boomers ranting about how Biden was the devil and Trump is going to save us from the illegal immigrants who are ruining all of our lives. Yeesh.
The irony is that autocracy can very well end up impacting her, as well as anyone else in the country. These people never really think it through - even if they are entirely selfish, there is no way that something like autocracy doesn't end up being very inexact as to who it ends up harming.
Fucking boomers. That's all they can do is repeat the exact same talking points verbatim to what they get spoonfed on Fox News. They can't explain why, they can't produce numbers, they can't even get surface deep and think about the logistics about the things they're saying. Their minds can't perform that kind of thought.
"Why do you like Trump?"
"He's gonna get rid of them millions of e-legals that come over the border every day"
"He said he would do that last time. Why didn't he?"
"The demoncrats wouldn't let him!"
"He had control of the House and Senate and..."
"NO HE DIDN'T"
"Um, yes he did and he here's proof. And if he couldn't get it done then he is incompetent."
He said people. Remember that you are talking about nazis magas. There's a very specific definition of what's considered people to them, and women are not included there.
Democrats and Republicans set him up to do it. No balanced budget, meaning we don't spend more then is taxed, no line item budget with expenditures that is easily digestible to the public that shows real information like how much corporations are actually paying in total for taxes, with tax cuts, refunds, subsidies, you need to cruise their own financials to find out how much the fed is propping up corporations. All we get is massive trillions of dollars budget consolidations. They owe the citizens services like roads, libraries, affordable housing, because of the damn taxes we pay, hell we could likely even afford free college and hand outs to third world countries if that was all. But we are paying massive subsidies, and buying products at egregious markups, not to mention the damned bailouts to banks and wallstreet, if these bastards don't pay taxes how the hell they giving them MY money when they get bailed out! because "we under employ hundreds of thousands, if we cowwapse all those people can't pay their taxes and evewyting cowwapses, so bailout pwease". Or because someone is a friend with someone so they got the government contract instead of someone that might be capable of doing an amazing job, but doesn't have name recognition.
NO DAMNIT!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, IF THEY WONT PAY TAXES THEN WHAT THEY WANT THEY DON'T GET. No bailouts, no incentives for your fancy plastic devices, no discount for moving shipping here, move your shipping away and pay a tarrif equal to how much you are saving, and OUR tax dollars go to actually fix the country. I70 is a damn toll road, it costs you money to travel between states, like the physical act of passing over land has a cost associated, what the hell are my taxes paying for? Not quality education to make sure the poor dyslexic girl at McDonalds could get a good paying job ill tell you that. Best as I can tell the money I've ever paid in taxes is simply paying interest on bombs used to kill children. How can anyone defend this system, even if it is one of the top 100 systems around? You mean there are worse?!?!
Yeah, reality does look like political bias to fascists.
Crazy how they can publish articles labelled "Political Commentary" that criticize the God-Emperor's frothing nonsense with "direct quotes" and "evidence" and people just post it to a politics community.
crazy how a shitty blog is labeled "Political Commentary" and posted in to the politics community. its not if he gets criticized its who does it. and it can be taken seriously or mocked.
The guy you are talking to has an account less than a day old and all he's done is suck orange nazi cock. If they are even a human then they are too stupid and arrogant to understand or accept any argument. No point in arguing or even talking to them.
But there are way, way more comments, posts, and articles about how he's reneged on his promises & will continue to hurt people for the sake of hurting people... In the face of authoritarianism, you're worried about decorum?
This is the most garbage logic. His approval rating does not directly equate to fulfilling promises. There can be cause and effect, but it's not guaranteed especially when there's so many factors that impact approval rating.
Presidents get a post election bump. It has nothing to do with fuffiling policy promises. Hell, the bump began before he took office, so obviously it has little to do with him fulfilling promises. Trump had a bump his first term too. But guess what. Literally every other president, including Biden, had a better overall approval rating at the beginning of a term than trump ever has. Time will tell where his approval lands.
There is never going to be a perfect metric on fulfilling campaign promises. The approval rating is a very good metric for that. Did someone said this is perfect metric?
Trump was acting more like the sitting president than Biden between election and inauguration. Of course that can result in a bump. For example, the Israel Hamas ceasefire. Trump was critical in getting that deal done even though he was not a sitting president at the time.
I didn't say it wasn't even and imperfect metric. I'm saying that its almost no metric. Perhaps even evidence of poor performance to be honest. Because the approval bump is a repeatable and measurable phenomenon we observe after every election that has 0 to do with presidential policy or action. And his post election approval bump is the second worst in history, only below his own poor approval bump from his first term.
Information is relative to the environment and circumstances. Is doesn't exist in a vacuum.
Everything is a losing argument for Democrats because they're milquetoast lackies to the same oligarchs Trump invited to front row unable to call their masters out.
It's class war. It's been class war all along.
That's why the courts and the legacy media and the bulk of the political establishment have been at the very least enabling him - because what he's in fact doing, and has been doing since the beginning, is working for the explicit benefit of himself and his moneyed class cronies, to the detriment of everyone else.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They felt fear because of Luigi. Nothing changed. They simply must be removed.
Luigi worried them, he didn't cause them fear. It's also going to take more than one single event. A line in the sand needs to be made with actual lethal consequences for crossing it. Until that happens they'll continue doing whatever makes them richer at the expense of literally the rest of the world. One single Luigi changes nothing. A million Luigi's would permanently solve the problem.
Take the plunge. Organize locally.
Except the things that did.

War implies more than one combatant. No one has been fighting for the working class.
Very true.
I still think "class war" is the most accurate term for it though, and the fact that the working class isn't (yet) fighting it is just the biggest reason that the moneyed class is winning (so far).
Class domination, maybe.
As for someone fighting for working people? I summon:
Bernie Sanders
Pretty soon you're going to need necromancy to summon him, sadly enough. He has no heir apparent other than maybe AOC, and the well has been so thoroughly poisoned on her that I wonder if she can be effective.
Wow, really? But I thought he wanted to make Mexico and Denmark pay for things, and do all's kinda of stuff to help people?

Try to kick the football again Charlie Brown 🤷♂️
Might? That's literally why the oligarchs put him in power. So they could buy everything cheap.
Unfortunately that's not how a large portion of the population sees it. To many the economy a president inherits matters more than the state they leave it in.
I don't know why my fellow Americans can't see the correlation
Cause they're dumb as fuck.
Even Trump agrees

Because this is, of course, what happens, generally, based on historical facts.
Its well known most dictators step down, once the immediate emergency is over with, right folks?
Right?
Not even a month in, champs. Not even a month.
Don't be so pessimistic! Don't think it's been only a month, think there's only 47 more months to go!
You don’t really believe there will be elections again, do you?
Of course not! I was referring to the months remaining of theater. People need time to adjust, so they won't be announcing the switch to monarchy until the last moment.
It really is amazing how January is 8 years long. I would have thought it was shorter, but it's still going...
I'm waiting for 2027 before I start being shocked at anything happening. That will be quite a year.
I'm sure they will have started grooming his successor by then. Even if he tries to push for extending term limits his cognition will be on a steep decline at that point.
Thiel already chose Shady Vance. He doesn't have the cult leader charisma to win a fair election, but that won't matter anymore by then.
It already is and they don't care lol they won't care until he's actually cold
It'll be a perfect shitstorm. It'll also show the horizon of what's coming from the current administrations current changes.
10 days of this shit so far. Can I line up to vote now?
There is something called a vote of no confidence but i think you need a large majority
That's because "woke" just means "everything I hate." And if there's one thing Trump hates, it's everything but himself.
It’s defined as “Everything I might have to expend emotional or intellectual effort to understand and be placed in a position where I might be inconvenienced, proven what I’m used to doing is wrong, or demonstrate consideration that the thoughts and feelings of others might be different than my own.”
If it’s any of that, I get to be angry about it.
Crash the economy and buy it up on the cheap while the masses are struggling.
That's the plan
That means it's buying season. Buckle up
Correct, they wanna crash the economy to buy up everything on the cheap with the play to keep doing this until the rich own everything.
Wait, what?!
Are you telling me that the party of the face eating leopards want to eat MY FACE?!?!?I But... how could this happen?
I told you this the entire campaign. But America cares more about trans people than their own interest.
It sucks being right about all this because going "I told you this would happen" during the worst crisis America has faced since the civil war just makes us look petty and a dick.
I tried warning people about this. I wanted Trump in jail. I wanted Biden to push for large reforms to make people turn away from Trump's lies about how he will personally fix the economy. I wanted the court packed into overturning every bad choice they made in the last 20 years.
And I was called defeatist and pessimistic. "It takes time to arrest someone for a crime they committed." "Bringing that issue up would be political suicide."
And now we're stuck with Trump.
Right now the only victory we have is saying "I told you so" And stocking up for the next great depression
Right? My short list for Biden was, handle the covid pandemic, prosecute Trump and his cronies, close down the inhumane border camps.
He went 0/3 on it.
Ignored all for good looks on the media, despite the death tolls of each and the future death tolls with not getting Trump arrested for his crimes.
"I mean, did you see that trans athlete in some state I've never even been to, and have no plans on visiting?! That has serious impact to my life!!! We must elect Strong Leader to fix this, stat!" <- just about every qon idiot

OK I am going to use that with a slight alteration, " Fox News Cinematic Universe" only because fox owns aliens and predator, last I checked.
With the way this year is starting, I wouldn't be surprised if even they show up.
I’ll bet $100 his browser history is full of trans porn. These psychopaths are (nearly) always masking a desire they’re ashamed of.
I can almost guarantee it. They are constantly projecting and I'm so sick of it.
Then what if we started a PsyOps campaign with stuff that will turn him on? Like softcore gay porn propaganda of him with Putin, again.
The whole problem is Supply Side Jesus is taking his sweet ass time coming back. Therefore, the nut bags at the Heritage Foundation have to crash the world via disease, war, famine, and death.

War on all Americans? Trump won the election and has good approval ratings.
So are the eggs cheap yet?
The guy you are talking to has an account less than a day old and all he's done is suck orange nazi cock. If they are even a human then they are too stupid and arrogant to understand or accept any argument. No point in arguing or even talking to them.
They're human. A bot wouldn't have so much trouble with spelling and grammar.
Blaming Trump for high egg prices 10 days after inauguration is not going to be a winning argument for the Democrats.
Is war on Ukraine ended? The nazi traitor filth said day one, did he not?
Are you going to point out the listings of promises he already accomplished?
Looking at the overall performance, voters are satisfied.
https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating
Bruh, just look at this one poll. Just look. Egg prices don't matter because of this one poll. Please look. Various pollsters. Please.
You always want to look at multiple polls if they are there.
It's that why you have only linked the one you like over and over?
Both sides tell their side of the story. Right now the right is winning. More American people believe the Republican messages.
It's fair to blame him when he shuts down the CDC in the midst of an avian flu outbreak.
You are so funny. You get the timeline all wrong.
30% is not good approval ratings.
That's less than the 34% he had when Biden took the Presidency from him.

I am not sure which exact number you were looking. Anyway, you want to look at multiple polls if it is there. I provided the link.

This is more accurate.
I think you meant this one.

No.
That doesn't mean that what he's doing is good for Americans, it just means Americans don't understand the consequences or don't care.
I have seen a lot of comments these days that voters are stupid, or something equivalent. I suppose that is all the Democrats got at this point.
But there are way, way more comments, posts, and articles about how he's reneged on his promises & will continue to hurt people for the sake of hurting people... In the face of authoritarianism, you're worried about decorum?
Based on his current approval rating, he is doing what he promised to do, which won him the election.
This is the most garbage logic. His approval rating does not directly equate to fulfilling promises. There can be cause and effect, but it's not guaranteed especially when there's so many factors that impact approval rating.
Presidents get a post election bump. It has nothing to do with fuffiling policy promises. Hell, the bump began before he took office, so obviously it has little to do with him fulfilling promises. Trump had a bump his first term too. But guess what. Literally every other president, including Biden, had a better overall approval rating at the beginning of a term than trump ever has. Time will tell where his approval lands.
There is never going to be a perfect metric on fulfilling campaign promises. The approval rating is a very good metric for that. Did someone said this is perfect metric?
Trump was acting more like the sitting president than Biden between election and inauguration. Of course that can result in a bump. For example, the Israel Hamas ceasefire. Trump was critical in getting that deal done even though he was not a sitting president at the time.
Your logic was very bad.
I didn't say it wasn't even and imperfect metric. I'm saying that its almost no metric. Perhaps even evidence of poor performance to be honest. Because the approval bump is a repeatable and measurable phenomenon we observe after every election that has 0 to do with presidential policy or action. And his post election approval bump is the second worst in history, only below his own poor approval bump from his first term.
Information is relative to the environment and circumstances. Is doesn't exist in a vacuum.
American voters are stupid, that's what conservative politicians have been working towards with 50 years of education budget cuts.
This is a losing argument for Democrats.
You seem to think I'm American. That's cute.
Wrong. I didn't think that. Perhaps reread what I wrote.
Everything is a losing argument for Democrats because they're milquetoast lackies to the same oligarchs Trump invited to front row unable to call their masters out.
Good approval ratings with who? From what I've seen his approval ratings with Americans are almost as terrible as they were last time.

What approval ratings are you looking at, last I checked he'd managed to go lower than Biden.
