True. People need to learn what socialist actually means. Much of Europe is socialist.

In an ideal world, but haven’t we learned that she’s too female and probably not white enough for America? *I don’t agree, but I’m being pragmatic

We already know they can’t run a charity or even a casino

For me as an outsider he represents the worst of america- fake, plastic, bloated ego, stupid but unaware, white man complex… He’s a poisonous human with no substance. Maybe it would be fitting if he were the last president.

When everything is destroyed how will you stop Russia or China invading?

I’ve thought the same but this is all dependant on someone sane being able to take power back at some point soon. Where will all the crazies be when this better society is being created?

The climate catastrophe is also a ticking time bomb with very little time left to avert total disaster. The other problem is that Putin caused this situation for a reason and honestly I’m thinking he destabilised the world because there’s a plan involved. Call me crazy but Russia, China and whoever could be aiming to invade. What else are they playing at? They’re all megalomaniacs and they’re going to control all these countries where the US was giving aid (and I’m sure spying).

And then there’s an asteroid, currently a 3% chance of hitting. Have you seen ‘don’t look up’?

Imagine if a MacDonald’s worker on minimum wage slipped something in his slimeburger.

You mean another coup? Another in addition to the first coup, in which several people were killed and sh*t smeared on the walls of the capitol, when people had to hide for their lives and in which some of the protectors were complicit?

The one after which the ringleader went completely unpunished and then got back into power and released the people who’d actually done it on his behalf?

I know this is crazytown now, but we don’t want to forget about that first coup.

People who know how to code are in agreement that he has no clue.

In the MAGAsphere anything other than trumps delusions is fake news.

Shocker

Any black person disabled person or woman promotes diversity by the fact that they are diverse. This is the start or removing any diverse person from employment in a position of prestige or power.

This kind of justification isn’t the end, but if a group are able to destroy the country then ideology is kind of moot… To be pragmatic this is like 4D chess and the end result has to be a working democracy. I used to say ‘oh just let it burn down, its shit anyway’ but this means peoples lives lost and spiralling chaos which can’t really be predicted. I’d guess the chance of anything better emerging is very slim.

The best result now is that enough people realise what’s happening and know that they MUST be politically active, must make a popular movement for peace, justice, truth, decency… All of the old values which seem out of fashion. There are more people who believe in those things but where tf are they? They’re saying ‘politics are gross’ I don’t want to be around that.

Ummm… THOSE people ought to be the ones doing politics! They ought to be the politicians.

Do they need him to be alive? They can use him as long as he’s not rotting too obviously. I have a strong suspicion he already stinks.

Authoritarian tactics is extremely vague. I wonder if they could name one of those tactics? Could they point out one dictator in history and criticise them? Explain why they’re different? Doubtful.

Tell us your friend is a white man without telling us

Do you think the realities of global heating have caused a kind of mass delusion?

I really believe it was dangerous to martyr trump by putting him in jail… His followers were so nutty that they would maybe have broken the system completely, as they tried to do last time.

I mean, right now the facade of america being a functioning democracy is kind of intact, if you don’t look too close. If a lot of crazies with guns stormed the court, the jail to rescue or protect trump… If the police or jailers released him… I mean, then what? Military coup? He tried it last time, people died and he’s blatantly supported and protected those people. There’s also that old adage about giving him enough rope to hang himself. There has to be a line that even brainwashed cult members won’t cross and he seems to be looking for it.

I really hope that someone over there who’s smarter and better informed than I am has some kind of plan and this will all be worth it in the end.

I realised that when both parties were publicly 100% committed to supporting Zionists no matter what atrocities they were committing. Even when the outcry from the left was such that committed dems were supporting other candidates.
