Alternate headline: Iowa becomes first state to declare that it really doesn't want any tourism dollars at all. Like, none.

Yep. Fascism doesn't work without a dedicated cult of personality, and that's exactly what Trump has with his legion of MAGA asshole-idiots who are willing to commit violence for their messiah.

I've fought tooth and nail against accepting this, but looking at their plans it's becoming unavoidable: This will not end without violence.

Move to another country. That's been my specific goal since November 6th.

Yep. For people who don't know... The reason the rate of left-handedness went up and then stabilized is that the actual rate was always that high, but the stigma against lefties caused most to force themselves to use their right hands for as much as they could.

Same goes for LGBTQ+ people. Except we're probably not at the plateau yet, and the orange fucknut is making it harder for them to come out.

That's a very good point. And it makes me genuinely sick to my stomach.

So not quite a year... but not far off from it.

Motherfucker, you could impeach him right fucking now. You have no power only because you fucking cowards have put party so far above country that you're actively yielding all governmental power to a pair of fascists.

If I recall correctly, it was literally a full year of his "presidency."

Well sure. Trump literally does not care about the truth value of any word-like sounds that squirt from his facial sphincter. The algorithm running through his toupee support system works like this:

1. Is it something the idiots who support me will buy, at least long enough for me to come up with the next distraction? (Y/N)
2. If Y, say it. Say it a lot. Say it everywhere and anywhere.
3. If N, accuse everyone else of saying it.

That's it. Whether it has any relationship to the truth, good or bad, never enters into it. He's not even as honest as a liar, because a liar has to at least care what the truth is. He truly, genuinely doesn't.

No idea.

The Republican-controlled House and Senate could end this today. Like, right now. They could put a complete stop to it. They could remove Trump and Vance simultaneously, resulting in Mike Johnson - a total scumbag, but not one who wants to obliterate the United States - becoming the president.

Right now. They could do it right now. But they won't.

Literally have the opposite experience. Fought with my old Brother printer constantly. My Epson Ecotank is rock-solid.

I managed to get my trans kid a passport just before this shit started. We're working out how to emigrate right now, but at least his passport is in order. My heart breaks for trans people who weren't able to before this intentional chaos bullshit got underway.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ on a fucking pogo stick...

You:

We are literally watching the government be destroyed from the inside out, and accelerationist morons are cheering it on.

Yes, that's exactly what queermunist is saying. And like all accelerationist ideas, it's naive as fuck.

The empire collapsing is not the same as the country collapsing and the empire must be destroyed for future of humanity. The US, as a country, can absolutely survive without being an empire. I’m celebrating the death of a death machine.

No, you're celebrating the death of a country. If the government of the United States collapses, that literally is the end of the country. It cannot survive that. It'll shatter into at least 50 pieces, and a lot of people will die. It's naivety of the worst sort to pretend that somehow society will march on without a fucking government.

Don’t confuse the country for the empire. They’re not really the same thing.

Fucking accelerationists and their ridiculous view of human nature.

I didn't say it would be specifically because of Tulsi, what I'm saying is that when a country like this one implodes, people in targeted minority groups end up on the receiving end of violence.

Fucking accelerationists, always pretending they won't suffer when everyone else does. On behalf of my trans son and my gay daughter, fuck them all for celebrating the destruction of the country my kids (currently) live in, kids who will inevitably be on the receiving end of hate.

Naive fucking idiots.

Imagine pretending that you won't be first in front of the firing squad, "queermunist." If it gets as bad as it can get, you'll never have a chance to celebrate the "destruction of the US empire."
