I can't stand that this piece of shit gets to dictate what most of the world does in their own fucking countries... It's bad enough he's fucking us in the US...
My money is on some far right billionaire asshole who will give it the Twitter treatment and make it a Nazi haven that that pushes Reich wing content on people...
Trump: "Haven't you idiots learned from my example by now!? We can do WHATEVER we want! Just do it. No one will stop us! A judge intervenes, we just get another to let us do it!"
This is what a dictator does. He dictates and the subservient do as they are told without defying his order so that they might, oh I don't know, try to represent you and your interests?
Y'all love to claim you love America and yet you're oh so eager to throw away the concept of THREE COEQUAL BRANCHES. Not one dick tater, a rubber stamp court that can be ignored, and room full of clowns that write the decrees of the dick tater to make it all legal like.
It's definitely frustrating. He's one of those "I'm always right" types and the propaganda is just confirmation bias for him, so if it reenforces something he already wants to believe. It's "I'm right, and they back it up with their "facts" on Fox, so obviously it's correct."
Honestly most of us live in a mirror reality. We see "them" as misinformed and brainwashed, and they see us in exactly the same way. He won't believe me because he believes I'm just misinformed.
Thats the thing about misinformation/disinformation, they're made to believe he didn't rape anyone and that it's all a "witch hunt." These people think he's gods gift to the earth and that everything he does is correct, that the only arguments against him are lies made by people who want him to be stopped. If they knew it as fact and still voted for him, then yeah they're garbage people for sure.
My father for example, I cannot get one single thing through his head if fox news or Newsmax didn't say it. He still believes they never deport anyone who isn't a violent criminal. Any article I could show him that says otherwise is "a lie." He's brainwashed to believe Republicans are the saviours, the Democrats are the ultimate evil, and the media is largely behind protecting Democrats by lying about everything... :(
"I am a rock and these are my silly hats. Why yes, they are in fact living beings as well as hats. Go back to your realm now, you need to breathe your precious oxygen and pay your electricity bills."
The problem is the people voting for the fascists don't see it as that and are told by their chosen propaganda outlets that it isn't fascism, it's actually the people on the other side who want to do such horrible horrible things like: provide access to affordable childcare. Gasp!
There's also a lack of understanding of the concept of fascism as related to corporate subservience which a lot of Democrats could be guilty of as well. Unfortunately the shitforbrains SCOTUS ruled corporations are people, money is political speech, and a person's political speech can't be limited: unlimited spending for campaigns.
Idk. I want to agree, but that's how we got Qanon. Thinking for yourself without data is just inviting biases to control what you believe to be true.
I want it to be true that America would not have actually chosen Trump, but the older I get the more I see, the more I realize we're surrounded by severely under informed, misinformed, disinformed, igorant, selfish, people. The moment nuance is required to actually understand a situation, you can bet it won't be. :(
We could have had the next Mona Lisa, we could have had a better starry night, we could have seen the birth of a new Picasso, instead we got the butthole chart.
SCOTUS: Ummm yeah I know we literally just ruled that this was what you needed to do, but, umm not like that. Sorry we're actually totes busy now, can't get to this one. So sorry so sorry.
Leave a message after the beep and if you haven't been deported yet we'll be sure to wait until you have been.
It's exactly what they did by killing chevron deference. Instead of experts in a given field, working in a relevant department, clarifying how a given vague rule should be applied in individual cases, now each case has to go to the courts so a judge can decide whether XYZ regulation should apply in areas they have zero knowledge of.
A huge win for corporate interests as delay delay delay helps them continue to violate vague rules.
I can't stand that this piece of shit gets to dictate what most of the world does in their own fucking countries... It's bad enough he's fucking us in the US...
