    That’s how long it will take to rebuild US foreign policy, 60 years. I hope Rand is correct, fuck the GOP.

    What’s really happened is we’ve had our global dominance thrown away. We took the lead because of WW1 and WW2. It’s not because we’re great. It’s not because we manifested our destiny to become the leader of the world. It’s because factories in Europe were bombed to smithereens. That’s what allowed the U.S to achieve financial dominance. Now we’re in the fall.

    Hopefully! The world would be a far better place. Globally and domestically.

    Conservative policies just have their own heads up their asses sucking Trump’s rich spoiled cock

    What will probably happen is a one or two term slump. What’s different between then and now is the internet and social media, which fills most people’s brains with a deluge of noise. In addition to the effects of misinformation daily telling people that the moon is the sun, most algorithms prioritize novelty, and nothing’s more novel than the most stupidly wrong-headed take. We constantly hear the opinions of people who should be laughed out of the room! We sit and chuckle, but there’s tens of millions of people who have poor media skills who it can actually influence.

    I hope this leads into demolishing republican party and moving on from the clearly faulty two party nonsense of a system. You can’t keep functioning if you’re on the verge of becoming authoritarian regime with oligarchs.

    These MAGA will just move to their Republican overlords after Trump has died. The real hope would be a split GOP. MAGA/GOP and Dems.

    I used to be a swing voter before Trump, after this admin, I will never vote for a Republican again. Especially since most support him.

      I will go to my grave before I support a Republican for anything. I wouldn’t vote for a Republican for street sweeper.

      Guess who is using data illegally gathered from social security to prevent legal voters from voting? If you guessed the king in orange you’d be right.

      They have been purging voter rolls all over the country for a long time now. But their methods have vastly improved recently. In the swing states last year they purged 3.5 million voters. In the midterms next year they want to challenge the eligibility of everyone.

      Only voters with a passport or original birth certificate would be allowed to vote.

        The administration also just enacted task force teams to supposedly ensure election security

        Which basically means the people who did election fraud just recently and staged a coup against the government, are now in charge of ensuring that the elections are securely done

        … That is the things of dictatorships
