Donald Trump has declared himself the “acting president of Venezuela” in an unhinged Truth Social post.

Mentally unsound.

    More and more I find myself saying just do it. I don’t mean to be an accelerationist but it might help the world in this case. The more he alienates and isolates the US the better.

      I’m kinda with you tbh. At the rate he’s going, maybe, just maybe, the frog will realize it’s being boiled.

        I am completely baffled why he (they) didn’t get all their ducks in a row and then go full fascist right after the midterms.

          They’re human, just like the rest of us. I’m sure you struggle with self-control as well, like telling yourself you’re not gonna eat any ice cream until the weekend but then you have yourself a bowl on Wednesday.

          It’s incredibly hard not to do the thing when it’s just right there and basically in your possession already.

      We can’t go back. The only way out is through. The quicker we get started, the quicker it’ll be over. There will already be a dire cost to pay; delay only increases that cost.
