And we wait two years and people say oh well let’s pick the safe option and we have the most corporate candidate shoved down our throats again for the fourth time (Hilary, Biden, Kamala, and I guess Newsom)

We can’t wait, our problems are too large in this country. We need significant changes, fdr level.

If we elect another corporate candidate then our fate is sealed, pretty much proves magas point and we leave room for fascism.

This guy still has 40% approval. It’s hard to even fathom

There are probably hundred of removable offenses at this point. I wish his staff had an ounce of morality left and would have him removed over his war rhetoric. Nobody wants it, not even maga, why the fuck are we at the whims of one guy right now.

Everything I ever learned about our government was that this situation could never happen because of our checks and balances.

What’s absolutely bonkers is the DHS went out and immediately called her a domestic terrorist. Our tax dollars paid to kill her and post propaganda on x defaming her.

They put the public at risk by using force. Literally created the situation to kill her by having a goon step in the path of travel

A group of men with guns surrounded her car and she fucking panicked. It’s not surprising she attempted to flee, it doesn’t take that much brain power to know to never use your body to stop a car and even the police would never use their bodies to stop a fuckin car.

There was no verbal warning, there was no negotiation with her. Nothing. She got murdered because she didn’t comply. Fucking pigs.

Democrats must demand the files be released as one of their requirements. Make it so that Republicans are at fault because they were so scared of the Epstein files

I feel so incredibly sad and exhausted at what has happened to my country. The US has had its flaws, sure. I was born in the late 90s and just within my own lifetime everything I grew up with has been ripped to pieces as an adult over and over again.

It’s some sort of sick joke.

I no longer have any hope for the future and am just bracing for impact at this point with what little I have.

The fact that he can make these statements and there still are people ignoring or defending him is just so incredibly gross and further proves how f’ed we are.

Basically at this point I don’t think there’s any comfortable way out of this, it’s going to be a very painful and costly road ahead for us and I don’t know if I really believe in this country anymore. If we actually make it to a real election in 4 years I’ll eat my words, but seeing how this is just starting I would say its extremely unlikely.

Trump seems content on driving us off a cliff

Id love for the US to transition to having less influence globally without totally collapsing, but if this is how we do it, so be it.

It’s kinda the devil we know situation, if the US steps down, who steps up? Are they going to be better or worse, who knows. I never really bought into the notion that we had to be the world police or that all the evil stuff we did, we did because we had to.

As an American I think I’m going insane? The last 3 weeks have been some of the most anxious and stressed I’ve ever been.

Trump’s first term was nothing like this, there’s a feeling of apathy in the air among people and coworkers (I live in a very liberal city in the deep south). Folks around here just seem to be on edge at all times, whether you’re pro or anti in a much more divisive way.

There’s a strange feeling knowing there’s a solid chance we won’t make it out of this one. There have been plenty of times in the past where we’ve had doom and gloom (Trump v1, conservatives and Obama), etc. Nothing ever happens, but this time I’m fairly confident the country I was born into will be dead and gone given the shear destruction being waged against our institutions.

I’m protesting and will continue to do what is needed to ensure 47 isn’t the final chapter.

I think this has value even if it doesn’t cause immediate change. People need to just get out and express how they’re feeling and network with like minded people instead of sitting online doomscrolling. We’ve got to organize.

Yes please. For the love of God it’s not too late.

I get the feeling of defeat. It sucks. But we must come together and stop this fascist takeover before it’s too late, whether you’re a conservative, liberal, or leftist we need to join hands and fight for a nation for the people. Luigi was a right leaning libertarian.

Seriously, the train has left the station and if we don’t derail this train now it’s going to mean we’re finally handing all of our remaining power to self important narcissistic billionaires. America isn’t for sale and it’s not a business, it’s our home, it belongs to us. These gross conmen pricks who think they know more than us because they got lucky in life think they can just take everything away by force.

Brain drain will happen after prices skyrocket and folks are expected to wait it out. Places like Spain are cheap, but generally have a better qol than most places in America.

If European countries want to open their doors to distraught Americans I think it’s a great idea because there are a lot of highly educated, highly skilled folks here that might just be done with the bs once maga really begins to churn.

Well fuck Tesla. This should be illegal.

Realistically they should show the owners at the dealership and make sure they open it several times before taking it off the lot then reinforce it in software and make them release it once a month.

Or you know… just make it mechanical

There are manual releases but they’re hidden. They need to be more obvious because these cars are rented to people and obviously the owners aren’t taking the time to figure out where they’re at.

I would also think just having secondary power packs in each door would help in the event power is cut to ensure the doors can continue to function for a few minutes while also a speaker could explain how to use the emergency release if none of the doors are working.

All this added complexity and cost isn’t worth it to me, manual doors just make sense for so many reasons.
