You drove through one big city and it sucked. LA and Chicago would have sucked to drive through as well.

New York is better now I hear since they implemented congestion pricing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Huston is the biggest city I have ever been to.

Counterpoint, there are more firearms in possession of the American civilian populace than there were in the Ukrainian military during the February invasion.

If the American politiy doesn't want to be governed, it's going to take a whole lot of concentration camps to make it governable.

I think if Stewart won the white house and made Colbert his press secretary, and he played the character from the Colbert report and just framed everything Stewart did as the most hardcore American Conservative stance and talked about how Republicans need to get on Stewart's level, they could actually shift the Overton window.

Republican voters say the exact same things about Republican politicians.

They constantly talk about how conservative shitbags that waffled on this one thing are RINOs.

They make up conspiracies where Democrats are stopping their preferred solution even when Republicans control every branch of government.

They just have the votes.

It's not understanding, it's blind faith.

I don't see anything weird about this. Sounds like parenting.

What public transport?

I'm not embracing accelerationism.

I'm just done coddling adult babies. Grow up and take some responsibility and I will keep my mouth shut about your past.

Wealth is actually being redistributed quite a bit in Russia right now. The oligarchs are paying for the war and "the people" are getting much higher wages either in the military or because of labor shortages.

It's not great, what with all the death and destruction. But Russians gini coefficient is going down fast.

We tried protecting them from their bigotry and ignorance for decades. Time to find out motherfuckers.

Yeah want to shake these people. They could deport YOU! your wife! Your CHILD! To a torture prison in the jungle! You don't know if any of these people are criminals! You don't know if they are citizens! You don't know! They haven't seen a judge! How would anyone know?

THEY CAN PUT YOU IN A VAN TOMORROW AND SHAVE YOUR HEAD IN CECOT THE DAY AFTER THAT!

They could send you to Syria. South Sudan, some other black site. No one would stop them.

Trump wants mass deportations and he is getting mass deportations. I don't think he cares if they pick up a few white people to pad the numbers a bit.

What would happen to them if they say birthright citizenship is not a thing,? If it only applied to former slaves? Or just offer no explanation whatsoever?

They could write an opinion that says "because Trump said so." And I don't think they would face impeachment, even a little bit.

Good luck then!

I sympathise with anarchism so I wouldn't vote for marxists or a party that sucks up to dictators.

Thanks

This is the second most likely outcome. The most likely is be is full of shit. I'm all for siphoning off the votes of the gullible.

Dems won't do shit to make people's lives better but they won't open up concentration camps and will mostly leave trans people alone.

Unless the dinosaurs talking shit about Mamdani and AOC are brought to heel.

Liberals hate musk and won't vote for his party. Split the stupid vote and watch Dems win unwinnable races. If he pulls that off for 2 election cycles you might even see Republicans go in on ranked choice voting.

Learning Spanish thoroughly would be difficult, but I think I could get to conversational with a couple months effort. Taking tests is my one great talent. Tests don't scare me. History? Government? Society? I will learn that in a week if I can read the material I will be tested on.

Finding work scares me. I can't live outside the country for my current job.

Canadas housing situation is worse than the US I thought, at least in the places most people live.
