I think that, for all of his faults, Trump showed that there wasn’t much left saving anymore. Once corporations were allowed to takeover, fascism was just a matter of time.
Once the politicians allowed DOGE to steal out social security and OPM data, and infiltrate the Pentagon, the country died.
Our perception of it died for certain. Those wearing blinders cannot really hold them on much longer.
The longer the Icon of Sin is on earth the stronger it becomes.

Chris Chan? Is that you?
We’re already there. We were supposed to have socialized healthcare in the 60s, and a pension system in the 2010s. This country is beyond fucked. Not to mention that we STILL don’t have abundant public transportation. And with EVs taking off, we’re not building electrical upgrades or charging stations like we did in the 50s with the gas automobile revolution.
It’s our job to hold the people in our lives who supported this accountable for the remainder of their lives.
Individually we don’t have a lot of power, but we have the power to do that. They cannot be allowed to proceed with their lives without some type of repercussion. It’s up to you to decide what that is. For me it was cutting them all out of my life entirely. They can die alone or find other shitstains to ride out the rest of their lives with.
The notion, the IDEA of the USA is idealic. The actual truth of the matter, this shit has been going on since before we went independent.
The last nail was citizens united. This is the death rattle of the United States.
There never was anything worth saving.
The national parks
And cancer research
The US government has done a lot of harm and I’m fairly certain that the more I learn, the more horrors and wrong doing I’ll find. That doesn’t change the fact that there are always people and ideas that are worth saving. Throughout our history, there have been individuals and groups willing to sacrifice their time, energy, and lives to save others or to try to direct us to a better path. It’s not uniquely American and it doesn’t mean that it was all done flawlessly.
Basically, as much as I hate what our government does and as much as I despise the rich and powerful who convince them to do it, I don’t hate the entirety of its people and it’s ideals.
Idk how old you are, but prior to 2016 we were actually… decent. Obamas biggest problem was the he loved drone striking brown people, which I would argue is a massive win over dropping white phosphorus on them or trying to start world war 3. Culturally though, yeah. Any country that would elect trump needs a hard reset of its populace.
Are you actually trying to defend bombing people…
No, im stating that if you guys will only elect warlord leaders, id rather you choose ones that use pess destructive, more targetted attacks instead of intentionally designing precision missiles and then deciding that they dont have enough civilian casualities, so you convert it into a shotgun.
Using missiles to kill civilians on other side of the world is decent?
Maybe it was decent before Bush but definetely not 2016.
Show me a country that isn’t guilty of it… Is that an excuse, no… But it maybe points to something more nuanced than “USA bad!”
In the last 20 years,
Ireland never launched a missile at Taiwan,
Egypt never launched a missile at Nicaragua,
Brazil never launched a missile at Turkey,
Japan never launched a missile at Kosovo,
…All have less distance than USA to Iran.
(Iran never launched a missile at mainland USA also)
To be fair, it would have been really challenging for Iran to launch a missile to the other side of the world.
Switzerland, most of the Nordic countries, the countries that are victims of this type of aggression, China (they mainly threaten neighbors, not cruise missile randos on the other side of the world), South Korea… Actually now that I think about it most countries aren’t guilty of it. It’s really mostly the US and its allies that violently project military power across the globe like that.
Oh shit. Keep up them brain droppings.
