Aren’t there primaries for the Dems?
I’m guessing librarians know how to read more than many other categories of federal workers.
They’re more afraid of MAGA than they’re afraid of ordinary citizens. Nothing will change until it’s the other way around.
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.
These days the only hope I have left for the US is that everyone on the left become a dem party member and primary the shit out of all these “high road” cowards.
Trump and co won’t stop, and there won’t be a backlash if it’s not supported politically.
If Democrats had some sort of plan against what’s happening, they would ALL be saying this, over and over, to all journalists in every news organization and podcast.
They should lead the pushback but they look like spectators.
The only thing at this point that could prevent the USA from annexing Canada is a civil war to deal with. So yeah, it’s gonna get worse before it gets better.
Interesting read, thanks!
If 3 years ago someone told you that Trump would give Elon Musk the mandate to dismantle the US government and RFK would be secretary of health, you would have called him a lunatic.
The article you cite talks about military spending, not industrial capacity. Russia is running on a war economy, Europe isn’t; this large difference in spending is to be expected. Surely Europe realises it cannot rely on the US for defense anymore, so there’s a possibility they choose to dramatically increase its defense spending. If Ukraine loses the war, a lot of European countries won’t have too much trouble convincing their citizens it needs to be done. The reason Europe has no “concrete solution”, like you said, is because they won’t accept the kind of compromise Putin would want. Now that the US decided not to be an ally anymore, I don’t think they’ll just stay there doing nothing.
Right now I can’t find any reason to exclude this possibility honestly
So what happens if Zelensky sides with Europe on this one? How does the US apply its peace plan if it’s been negotiated solely with Russia? The only way I see this working is the US sending troops to fight along with Russia…
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.
