So Democrats will do the bare minimum or low hanging fruit decisions without making actual decisions that will potentially stop the next Republican administration from going even more authoritarian?
the institutions we worked so hard to build for decades haven't been utterly demolished and can just reappear with the stroke of a pen. the institutions we worked so hard to build for decades haven't been utterly demolished and can just reappear with the stroke of a pen.
This is how my dad sees the world. "Once he's dead, everything'll go back to normal." Sure Dad. Once the flames die out, we can move back in to the "house."
Trump is the output of a govnerment system run by outside influence. Trump needs to go but the cancer will come back. Nations will find ways to work without the Americans. So many people are ready to take a quality of life hit to protect their sovereignty, something Americans aren’t willing to do at the moment
A bunch of delusions. It’s going to be incredibly hard to undo what he did, and it will take decades. Decades that could be spent on progress as opposed to rebuilding the basics.
As far as I'm concerned between that and being unable to afford a bloated military when the next stock collapse happens the world will finally be free of a great evil. Perhaps even a great Satan.
I have a feeling, he'll only leave office in a casket. I'm from EU tho. Maybe, from here, it looks more dire than it is, but he's meddling with voting rights, press etc and started a war. That's a way dictators install themselves.
You know, I hope that's true. And I do think rebuilding is possible. But we need stronger protections to have any hope of actually successfully rebuilding. The far right has seen how effective the Project 2025 playbook has been. We can't guarantee they won't win another election. If we don't build protections, whatever we build they'll knock down again and go further next time. We also need protections from the wealthy buying our elections - CItizens United needs to go.
“After Donald Trump we will return to the conditions that created Donald Trump”
This right here. That's the perfect rebuttal to neoliberal gaslighting.
"The department of dropping freedom on civilians"
It has always been appropriately named.
It's just that most people assumed it meant "defending the country" instead of "defending rich pedophiles"
it used to be the department of war, before we got savvy to propaganda

The ratchet will somehow stop ratcheting to the right?

Same procedure as every year, James.
Lol, so Donaldo is the cause, not a symptom/result of a 100 year trend. With him, everything bad magically disappears. Lmao.

Like Ceaser
Yeah, exactly, in a society valuing & rewarding (even romanticising) gruesome murders & war acts ofc that's the kind of ppl that get promoted.

Canada will no longer trusts the USA. Europe will no longer trusts the USA. Asia will no longer trust the USA.
This... There is no "coming back" with a regime change. Generational damage has been done, and won't be reverted. The apple is rotten to the core.

Canada do not trust Trump that's all
Meh, not likely...

*former allies
Americans don’t realize that allies won’t return for probably over 100 years.

Sounds very hopeful. A lot of damage has been done. Good luck though.
We were literally perfect untill "they" elected that guy
The ballroom is the scariest thing because it shows clear intent to never leave. He is treating the white house like his personal palace.
Oh yeah, we’ll all just forget all the stuff the yanks just allowed to happen and will again when the coin flip goes the other way.
One can only hope
And fixing this will take decades and fortunes.

Still waiting for a coronation.
