They're not comparing it to today's US mass incarceration. They're comparing it to the usual levels of it. Even before Alligator Auschwitz there were huge numbers of prisoners per capita. That's what they're talking about.

Nice to see that he's punishing Canada (35%) with higher tariffs than the EU. Also nice to see all those concessions everyone made have done exactly fuck-all.

Appeasing Trump does not work. It just shows him you're weak and willing to back down. He will come back for more again and again as long as you keep bending over for him.

If things continue as they are, I have no doubt that day is coming.

"Home of the brave".

Maybe it was at one point. Maybe it will be again.

Nothing of what you said is true. "Oriental" usually refers to east Asia. Australia is Australia and Europe is Europe.

That kind of question is pretty standard after an event like this. What's interesting is how defensive he got though. He knows it was fucked up and he knows it could hurt him so he responds like a scared animal. It blows my mind that anyone can look at things like this and think "yeah there's a strong leader"

It's a possibility. People need to wake up and realize the seriousness of what's happening. And they are waking up. I'm just not sure if it's quick enough.

As a Canadian, I completely agree. Our house prices are insane.

The regime won't just fall. It'll need people to make it fall, and I haven't seen enough people stepping up to make that happen. Americans are still too passive, thinking that waving signs around one day a few weeks ago will overthrow a fascist. It's a start, but nowhere near the end.

for boats worth $200,000 or more

Yes. Over $200,000 includes boats that are worth more than a house.

This is it exactly. The Democrats are not on your side. They're neoliberals. They believe in the freedom of money. They are a party for rich people. This isn't a battle between left and right. It's a battle between rich and poor.

This poll was taken June of 2024. I wonder if things have changed since then.

It must be rough for those people buying boats more expensive than a house. They really need the tax break.

He's a banker. He's on capitalism's side, not the people's.

You typed all that out and still managed to say absolutely nothing.

To his supporters? Yes.

This guy's upset you won't break your back to make him richer.

What a piece of shit.

It's a rub-on cream. You can see the finger marks by his ears and temples sometimes.

Oh, I meant that the rest of the world is used to Americans being idiots.

It wouldn't even be white America. Europeans are all immigrants
