    “Failure” and “gone too far” are understatements and give the impression it was all by accident.

        There are a lot of people who are just now realizing, with the threats to Greenland, that the rest of the world won’t be coming to save them.

        No shit, multiple people really do believe that NATO is supposed to be policing US internal politics, and liberating them from the orange turd.

        It’s only now starting to dawn on them that the rest of the world will defend each other from the US, but they won’t save the US from itself.

          There are too many interests external to the US that would stand to benefit from it’s collapse, beyond those that are actively trying to orchestrate it.

      Sharing angry rehearsed AOC videos on Reddit and writing “wake up america 😡”, aren’t they brave? Isn’t that the greatest opposition you’ve ever seen?

        Protests are becoming more frequent around here, even in the cold Southerners are not prepared for. This weekend I drove under a FUCK ICE protest on an overpass, with a FUCK ICE sticker on my car, to a store and passed a panhandler with a giant FUCK THE POLICE sign. Then my Mexican neighbors reached out to thank me for putting the sticker on my car. I feel a sense of alignment around me. I’m in Arkansas of all places. (I’m omitting quite a bit of anti-trans shit this weekend but that’s another story).

          I’m a school bus driver and I drive across multiple freeway overpasses each day. On most days these have protestors with temporary signs up on the fences facing the highway traffic. The problem is I have no idea whether they’re pro-Trump or anti-Trump since I only see the backs of the signs. One time I could make out “Jan. 6” on one of the signs (this was on January 6th, natch) but I don’t know whether they were remembering the good old days or not.

            There’s a guy on an overpass many mornings with a cardboard sign that is unreadable from the ground, I know what it says because I drive by him above (Deport Trump), but we do need some workshops on “how to make your sign readable because it’s worthless without that simple thing.”

    Just 42% of respondents said Trump’s second term has been a success.

    I’m not sure 42% approval is a disaster. In Europe that wold be an amazing result. Even in USA with all the gerrymandering, voter suppression laws and constitution in general giving advantage to red states that could be enough for them to win another term. Definitely enough to stop democrats from getting anything done.

    Here in the UK, we were promised millions per week for the NHS, better jobs and “oven ready deals” to replace our relationship with the EU. Over 50% of people who voted fell for that bullshit. Some are upscaling to the further right Reform (UKs equivalent to MAGA). Telling bold lies will fool too many people, again and again. We cannot sit back. The motivated gobshites will vote us into oblivion.

    Man, here at france, patrs has burned for way less than this.

    I hope they eventually wake up and see that the only way to stop this obvious dictatorship forming is torches and pitchforks. But modernized.

    I feel majority of americans are in some sort of collective self destructive delusion. Thats the only way you can explain trump presidency - people didn’t vote for him, they voted for self harm because they’re sick.

      Spend a half hour watching Fox News and you can see the alternate reality that magats are living in. My personal exposure to Fox News is an occasional accidental glance at the TV screens at the gym and even just from that it’s obvious what’s going on.

    Lol, what? No, we don’t say he’s gone too far. We say he’s a criminal who shouldn’t be in office in the first fucking place. Get the fuck out of here with your standard political opposition speak.

    Don’t worry, once they gain control over the last few independent news outlets and restructure social media algorithms they’ll be able to manipulate public perception to the point where they have broad public support. Especially when the ai bots wear the opposition out by convincing them they’re alone in their left wing views. Tech bros are ready to destroy democracy for profit.

    Does reading a “trump low in the polls” article or two every day make you feel better or optimistic?
