    “America has a problem?” , Trump and his minions are feeding every Democratic institution into the woodchipper. American has cut off tens/hundreds of millions of real live Human beings, all across the world from foreign aid consisting of life sustaining food, clean water, and medications, the death toll will be astronomical.

    We’re posting “articles” about what one dipshit said about Beyonce?

      It’s because race and politics are historically intrinsically tied in America, and DEI is essentially the new n word as coopted by racist bigots.

      I have no problem with this being considered politics as it’s parallel dehumanization and delegitimization tactics to those used in Nazi Germany.

        It’s politics because it’s blatant racism from a public figure but all political events are not created equal. Engaging with toxic (but ultimately shallow) headlines like this is amplifying the Flood of Shit.

        Your outrage is a smoke screen keeping the actual dismantling of democracy out of the public eye.

        I’d even go so far as to say too much political gravity is conceded to tariffs and other international Trump panic. America loses credibility but tariffs can be rescinded and alliances slowly rebuilt. It’s not so easy to regain control of a government with no opposition after a political purge.

        Trump’s last term quietly expanded ICE resources in one forgettable 24 hour news cycle. Now we’re seeing how they use the GOP Gestapo as a federal police force against undesirables. People need to see that, but it won’t get through their (sometimes literal) Trump content filter.

      I believe ‘America Has a Problem’ is in the title because it’s the title of a song written by Beyonce. It’s just a reference that’s also relevant.

      And it’s people voted for him. He got in democratically and this is what American people wanted.
