Thanks for explaining. Sounds like the US had a chance to break out of the two-party dictatorship but gave it away for a short term chance at a single term. This is really sad, but Im also convinced the people in power wouldnt simply let it happen. The system has made them so insanely rich and influential that probably nothing short of a violent revolution could break it.

Im not that deep into US polotics but my impression is the dems cant implement left policies, because the population is so indoctrinated with “communism is pure evil” that they would rather vote for a criminal fascist. They cant just implement policies that 95% of their voters disagree with. Theyre about as left as the farthest right democratic party in Germany, excluding the AfD of course, which was proven anti-democratic and might get banned soon. But this represents the population. Suppressed education plays a big part in my opinion. To me it seems that most of the dems are content with either party being in charge, the things they argue about like DEI and migration are huge distractions from the massive lobby deals both parties agree upon. Its a two-party dictatorship pretending to fight each other while suppressing anyone but the richest.

Makes sense

Of course, not everyone can get to DC, but there are already millions there. Thanks for doing your part.

2000?

Asleep at the wheel is a nice way to put it while they are wearing eyeshades and earplugs.

Well yeah you should. Im honestly shocked that most people are okay with this and arent protesting. If Germany would be in the midst of a fascist takeover again, Id spend half my day on the streets shouting. Im not evem sure if its not already too late, Trump has eliminated almost all resistance except for something the order of a revolution.

As a non-american, I dont understand what thatyou mean. Could you elaborate shortly? And is your comment controversial because people are saying its not true or because they think your critique is misplaced?

Yeah. Its definitely not the fascism thats doing the heavy lifting here…

At this point, I actually think its the US. Russia is affecting a few million peoples lives in a major way with their war, but the US is about to destroy hundreds of million lives in their own country.

It doesnt work like that. Most billionaires dont have billions of dollars in the bank. Their wealth usually consists of stocks, which would lose their value.

Even as a conspiracy theory, it doesnt make sense what theyre doing.

Thats the actual sad part. Hes basicalls holding 300m people hostage

And thats exactly the plan. An idiocracy thats easy to control and exploit.

Something between denial and acceptance?^^

Will Scharf, a White House official, claimed the new car tariffs would result in more than $100bn in annual revenue to the US

I dont understand how this is supposed to generate ‘revenue for the US’. The money will come from their own citizens, so its basically a tax increase. Are taxes considered ‘revenue for the country’? Its not like the money comes frot outside the US.

Another stupid stunt to try and save his sugar daddys company?

Children are stealing our jobs!

Ah yes. When people ask if Im a nazi and I tell them “no, my nazi salute is too weak” they immediately understand.

He did it again, just a second later.

Also, a ‘gesture of thanks’ usually doesnt involve tensing up your whole body and stretching your right arm with the palm facing downwards. This is as unnatural of a gesture as it gets.
