So, back to where they came from then.

The colloquial we, I most certainly did not vote for this either but I’m American and will be painted with the same brush the rest of the world paints us.

Agree wholeheartedly on the Cassandra’s comment, I’m wearing it as a badge of pride.

Yet somehow it was the “tea party” republicans that ultimately delivered all this bullshit.

I mean, the us knowingly and willfully handed this fucker everything. This on the heels of the Supreme Court essentially making him untouchable. None of what is happening was a secret, it was literally written down in a plan that we all could see.

America decided that a felon, admitted sexual predator, and a the most prolific liar to ever hold office was a better choice to lead us. I’d say we go exactly what we asked for.

Criminal, that fits, evil, that too, disastrous, for sure, but I can’t call them rogue when this is precisely what we apparently wanted (we tried to warn them).

Fixed - “The US news media is succeeding in its mission to prevent the public from knowing there is a possible war with Iran coming”

What did ever happen to that one old lady anyway?

She’s antivax, especially when it comes to the mRNA vaccines, she claims they are a government experiment that we were forced to undergo. She conveniently ignores that the phizer was available and you weren’t mandated unless you wanted access to public services.

He said the platitudes that needed to be said. Did you watch his remarks? He said a lot without words too.

He’s in a terrible situation. A madman is terrorizing his state, doing everything possible to incite an incident. Walz does not want to have a civil war start in his state. Now, many may disagree with preventing such an incident, and I can understand that, but I also understand the shit sandwich he’s being forced to eat.

I’m angry at the perpetrators not the victims.

The his really is the epstein administration, isn’t it.

I have someone like that in my life. To this day they think masking and “forced gene modifications” are a bigger deal than what happening now. I’ve been lectured so many times about how anger at what’s going on is just being political.

The resulting power vacuum would result in something far worse. Our best chance is to revive this dead democracy and fix the shit that allowed this to happen.

I don’t think that’s possible though with this electorate.

Whatever libtard, they both posses a Nobel peace prize.

Honestly, I hope you are right. At the moment though, I have very little faith in the American electorate.

People want concrete policy, economic fixes, and the end of culture war shit.

This is your conclusion after the fucking country elected that fucker? No, Americans don’t give a shit about any of that. People on Lemmy want that.

Americans want shit flinging, grudge based, reality show style fights. I don’t know that Kelly is enough of an asshole to be honest.

Naked, open, and completely unchallenged. It’s so fucked up I just can’t even…

Most days it feels like all 7 of us…

As a middle aged white dude in IT, I no longer tell people I listen to podcasts because I’m sick of “ oh yeah, I listen to Rogan too” (I’ve never once listened to one of his shows).

He’s listened to by millions of “normal” dudes.

Fuck these purity tests. Nobel is indeed a hollow and pointless prize, but let them throw any stone they like, especially when the target is such a fucking baby. We all know what a bullshit prize it is already so might as well just kick back and let them fight.

This is 100% him broadcasting his plans. This is how he operates, jokes were the start, he’s onto the ‘righteous’ joking phase. Next it will be serious proposals coming from think tanks, then he’ll actually do it unannounced. He’ll act like it’s the most normal thing ever and the media will write a bunch of “both sides have a valid point” articles ans our democracy officially dies.

How has the world not figured out how this fucker operates. This is a clear and definite signal that he will At least try. He’ll get away with it because this is how he operates, he jokes to test the water, next up he’ll start making them a little more forceful, but then it will become how they need to cancel the elections, eventually he’ll pull the trigger and blame something else in an overnight shock.

It’s coming, has been written in stone, now he’s pouring blood into the incantation.

I’ve met Walz a few times, I think he’s a pretty decent person. So of course he has no home in politics. Only evil, unscrupulous people survive in politics these days.

Our government is illegitimate, it desperately needs to just collapse.
