American exceptionalsm is so freaking annoying, dealing with it first hand trying to get people to realize we're not actually the good guys and we aren't actually the best is exhausting.

Seriously the majority of people here are ignorant to the world at large and brainwashed.

The irony of Biden approving more drilling and selling more protected land than any other president in history makes this comment so freaking funny.

Sure Trump is trying to best Biden on that front, but the fact that a Democrat already had that mantel at all and you have the nerve to comment this is just peak.

Why didn't the "boring corporatists" shut down the concentration camps when they were in power?

It's because we have the Nazi party and the Nazi collaborator party. And somehow voting for the latter is just.

Every election is "not the right time," to demand a better life for the people. Interesting how that works.

How the solution became "vote for my person even if they don't represent you" and not "hey this voting system is broken and republicans are exploiting it. Lets fix it." Is beyond all reason.

When you realize Democrats are just blue MAGA it makes more sense. They've become entirely "any vote (or lack of vote) that isn't blue is wrong and you're a piece of shit," despite their candidates mirroring early 2000 Republicans.

It'd be hilarious how unprincipled Democrats are if they werent the only option next to fascists

Even Obama abandoned his promise to codify Roe V Wade immediately despite having a super majority his first 6 months in office.

Biden complained about Trump putting kids in camps during his first term. Only to not close said camps upon taking power - in fact he used those very same camps MORE than Trump.

Biden called himself the greenest president for his energy investment despite approving more drilling and selling more protected land to oil companies than any other president in history (though current Trump is looking to best that).

You feel like you lose because you do. These people do not care about us.

It's weird how Dems refuse to acknowledge it's a politicians job to get people to vote for them. They constantly just blame voters.

You cannot speak sense to Blue maga

Your blind support for people who don't represent their constituents is why no one voted for your team dumbass.

I love how you keep blaming voters for not wanting to vote for your candidate instead of your candidate for being dogwater

Ohio is reliably red because of stupid, easily influenced racists.

There's no reason for guns to be treated with less scrutiny than cars.

With how fast the Democrats became Republicans, I'm sure they'll start complaining about food stamps going to illegals soon

I'm gonna lead with I understand your concerns, these are extremely scary times. We're getting our turn to live through history and I hate it. I just wanted to work with computers, get high, high, and play RuneScape. Now I have to fight for my life.

All you guys are right to want it, and I'd agree you are justified, but the rest of the county I don't feel has your back yet like they should.

I agree with this completely. The majority are still pretending things are normal. But I don't think it's much different than the majority of people being against the Black Panthers, despite them being a necessary part of the civil Rights movement. The promise of violence always behind the peace is necessary for fascists imo. And a violent clash between the regime and it's people might finally wake people up.

Where do we go if stuff really does pop off? The ocean? Some of you guys are boxing us in.

I understand the want to run. I started applying all over Ireland and Canada as soon as Trump won. But then I started a tight nit food bank in my llil town here. And I got on the library board. And I started hearing my coworker/friend's concerns about having a son right as all this takes place. And I realized fuck these fascists. I'm needed here, people like me are needed here. So I completely get the fear but no one is coming to save us but ourselves. If you're anything like me you keep asking. Won't someone do something. And the plane answer is no , not unless you do it .

Things are going to pop off at some point. It's just a matter of when. I fully encourage you to take to the street with the rest of us, I promise you are not alone.

Anyone calling us to be violent publicly is just going to get people killed. I don't want to see more homegrown terror in America.

People are already dying to violence via the pen. Multiple stories of people dying here in the US when he ILLEGALLY froze USAID. And that ignores all of the countries that USA supports with food, medicine, infrastructure, etc....

People are being kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp in another country where both presidents are saying they will never leave, a death sentence in all but name.

This is just policy things that are killing people, they can also look at how many mass shooters, such as the Walmart shooter in Buffalo, who are being radicalized by right-wing media to the point they're killing people.

Americans need to wake up and realize that they are already using violence. We are already at war.

There's no politics when everythings' mere existence is heresy

Double it and give it to the next defendant!

Well we don't get a home, jobs are being replaced with AI, and no one can afford children. So we can avoid those roadblocks lol

Ukraine has shown that any country that wishes to stay sovereign needs nukes. Trump's rhetoric around the "51st" State further proves the need.

And the us military historically actually has a lot of trouble with those

I disagree, not anymore anyway. Sure Vietnam was a wholesale loss. But while the US failed to institute a lasting democracy in Afghanistan, their KD is like 1:200. In 20 years of occupation they lost under 3000 troops. That is with logistics supplying the force on the other side of the world. That's actually a crazy accomplishment and show of power.

While the military might not be able to "win" if they fully side with trump, America in for a long and bloody (mostly bloody for the civilians) occupation.

Hey at least the one and only time he went low and broke decorum was so he could pardon his own son. And the other 1200 people a week later when he realized how bad the optics were.

And just to get ahead of those people. I'm not necessarily mad he pardoned his son. I'm mad there only time he broke decorum was for his own personal interests and not the American people's.

She was offering 50k tax breaks to small business and 20k down payments for first time home buyers, great on paper. But 70% of Americans work paycheck to paycheck, so they can't utilize that. And her healthcare for all became healthcare for some became expanding the ACA. So no help for the majority of people.

And when asked if she'd change anything, she declined. But then suddenly changed her mind and said she'd add a Republican to the cabinet. Further alienating the 70% of people that work paycheck to paycheck and anyone who understand what Republicans are. Can't forget parading around with good ol Liz too. Really winning with that one.

When asked the simple question of "Should trans people exist?" Her answer was they should follow the law. Disgusting. Unwilling to acknowledge somes right to exist in hopes of courting centrists. Instead pushing away both sides.

Her and Biden continued the genocide despite loud outcry from progressives. If progressives are such a tiny a faction that they aren't worth catering to with policy, then you can't be mad when you didn't get their vote. And if you think it's their fault the Dems lost then you should still be mad at the Dems for alienating them.

Honestly I agree with you that the US got what it deserved. But not because of its vote, rather because what we've become. Your options are continuing the status quo (ya know that one with 70% of people being pay check to pay check) or fascism. There was no right choice for most people. And I find it funny how privileged libs are to think there was.
