    Blah, blah, blah.

    Most people supported the impeaching the fat fascist in his last term too and it went nowhere because Republicans, independents voted the hard R.

    And what’s different now? Not a damn thing. This will go nowhere outside of calls from the current Democratic leadership mewling pathetically and ineffectively for bipartisanship just like last time.

      Hard R

      I vote we redefine the popular meaning of this to the way you just used it

      There is a damning difference for Trump this term and it’s his economic policy. The only thing Magats care more about than Trump is their money.

          Yup.

          We’re seeing some Republicans waver but not enough. Reality is, the only two ways out of this shit:

          1. We miraculously survive til the midterms and somehow still have a Democracy where Republicans are voted out(lol)

          2. The economy gets so disastrously bad that Republicans literally cannot avert their eyes to it anymore. Like, they lose their jobs, their retirement evaporates, their underage kids must start working to be another source of income just to sustain, and things like healthcare become a privilege for the wealthy. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if on the way there, Democrats get fed up and do something that we cant come back from. And then the Republicans will blame all the economic issues on that key moment, because that is what’s in a Republicans nature. There is a 0% chance they will ever accept any responsibility for this mess.

          Either way, the second Trump won this election, we were all fucked. I had no faith in the 1/3rd of the country that voted for Trump - they were long gone. But those 45% of eligible voters that didn’t vote, and I know you cock suckers are out there, good job - you fucked all of us over.

          And as an aside, its funny to see Florida having discourse about revoking child labor laws. I promise you, what is going to happen is things are going to get so expensive that parents are going to want their kids to be able to work. And that’s how we will lose that worker protection. “I don’t have to pay for a nanny if my 12 year old works a 9-5”. And people like Trump are ecstatic about this outcome.

    Please don’t though. It’s just handing Trump an easy victory and perceived exoneration for his crimes.

    Which is exactly what happened the last two times.

    Trump isn’t going to give up power willingly. He is openly and gleefully breaking everything with no thought of the consequences. Republicans wouldn’t be going along with it unless they think they are untouchable. If they think kidnapping people with no due process and dumping them in concentration camps isn’t going to have a consequence, then they are all in. Trusting the rest of their lives on Trump isn’t a bet I would take, but I’m just an everyday idiot.

    I think removal from office would be better. He can do the third term in his own delusional mind.

            Could not agree more. Reddit isn’t the place where you can say what needs to be said, in times like this.

            I got banned myself for asking Republicans hard questions on the “AskTrumpSupporters” subreddit. Which is such a fucking sham of a subreddit. Watching those dorks tip toe on eggshells with Trump Supporters while they willfully respond in bad faith.

            And I’ll say, BlueSky crushes Twitter. BlueSky actually reminds me of circa 2010 Twitter. You’re not inundated with ads and bots, and the experience feels a lot more personal. Who knows how long that’ll last but in contrast to modern Twitter, its quite nice and I don’t understand why anyone still uses Twitter. Especially all the doofuses that complain about it while they use it.

        Who, me? I am not from Burgerland. Also, this was done by Italian communists, not superior, enlightened, liberal European society or something. Where are the left parties in Europe, curbing right wing politics? I don’t see them. Europe is slowly falling for the same right wing politics. Falling profits and rising inequality will lead to the capitalist class propping right wing governments to suppress dissent by using tired talking points like immigration and ‘culture’, and, to paraphrase one among those fellows who hanged Mussolini, capital will not be able to preserve itself without killing liberalism to give way to fascism.

      Bring back the fair doctrine act that Ronald Reagan got rid of.

          How so? Can you explain, or should I look it up?

          I remember something about that during the Clinton years, but I can’t recall what it’s about.

            It allowed corporations to buy up all the media outlets they wanted, leading to homogenization of content and elimination of voices that corporations find offensive. On The Media podcast did a miniseries about it called The Divided Dial, which was nice to hear because I had been ranting about it for years but it seemed that nobody else was paying attention. I think it’s on YT, but search and ye shall find

              Thanks for the info. I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today.

              What are your thoughts on what should be done to return sanity to media?

                Time to kill every fucking one of those goddamn Nazi pieces of shit Clinton actually campaigned as the first Democratic president to embrace Reagan’s neoliberalism. It’s been a downhill slide ever since. At this point sanity can only be restored through violence, both against the current Nazi regime and against the septuagenarian neoliberals who have a White knuckle grip on the Democrat party

        Pandora’s box is already open, I don’t think that would work. Another approach would be to remove hate speech from being considered free speech. Targeting violence towards minority groups shouldn’t be protected by free speech.
