That’s more of a !chat post.
That was a CFC problem. We now have a DJT problem.
What we functionally have as our two-party system is the NSDAP and what the GOP was lying about in the '60s.
You’re going to have a busy day.
It was the intentional dismantling of our educational system. I had a long conversation with Mom yesterday before polls closed on EST, and, yeah … I was at the tail end of competent education, and it wasn’t all that competent. I was told by the English department to never try writing because I was disinterested in regurgitating their takes on historical works, after getting my only F in high school for graphic design in beginning yearbook.
Guess what two things I’d then go on to win national awards for? You can’t expect every high school student to take those as Wet Paint signs and then have things weirdly coalesce in college.
Sure. But it’s not like we can’t attach more in the future.
Historically, you don’t want to fuck with Switzerland. We like to blow up bridges and tunnels when threatened. But we’ll take your gold.
I see nothing from the AP that suggests anything other than what I was speaking about.
I never thought I’d have to use my dual citizenship, but this? This is an affront to the very ideals of this nation, or just going back to the original text. Doesn’t much matter, as I have an escape route. Now, I just need to set that in motion. Good luck to the rest of you.
You don’t have to be trans to be fucking terrified. Trump somehow always underperforms in the polls, but we’ve now seen what this country truly is, and I want none of this. Already working on possible alternatives.
“Very grim” would be a significant improvement.
I cannot see a poll here. Obviously, I’m going with “not Hitler.” That seems sane.
I wouldn’t buy any bread manufactured in 1946.
I’m locking this because it went off the rails. Y’all want to talk politics, we have a community for that.
The sad thing is we lose, not them. We have some 35% of the country convinced that elections don’t matter. That’s tangentially a democracy problem, but good luck having a meaningful discussion about the the difference between a democracy and a republic.
I frankly haven’t believed in my own government since 9/11. This is not about conspiracy theories; it’s about the fact that I could drive into Canada in 2000 with a driver license. We obviously are the most imperial country in history (the irony is not lost on me, given how this all started).
But we started doing things like creating the Department of Homeland Security when the DoD covered that alongside ICE. I don’t understand what it’s like to think those were insufficient.
We didn’t forget about it; we were silenced.
You’re not getting that through 35 states. There’s the Congressional problem, too. He seems to understand the process and thought it would be a waste of time.
Is that fucker still around and trying to do initiatives? The $30 car tab thing was first on the ballot before I left the state in 2000.
