“Say what you will about National Socialism, Dude. At least it’s an ethos. “

That’s true. But the Republicans certainly won’t either. The Democrats haven’t earned American Muslims’ trust, but to run into the arms of the party that loudly and constantly demonizes Muslims at every opportunity as a result makes no sense.

I would understand a lot of people in Michigan disengaging from politics (although that would probably objectively make their lives worse in the long run). I can’t see them supporting Republicans though.

Maybe that will happen. But I think it’s far more likely that Trump will end the genocide by letting Netanyahu finish it. And I don’t really see his administration doing anything other than alienating American Muslims, since he’s certainly not going to protect them from his followers. He’ll probably egg them on.

That said, Biden could have at least pretended to care about Gaza, and didn’t, so a lot of Michigan voters are pretty fed up with the Democrats, and maybe they’ll throw their support wholeheartedly behind the Republicans. I don’t see how that will get them anything they want, but they wouldn’t be the first, and they won’t be the last, group of voters who steadfastly vote against their own self interest.

Trump’s plan for ending the genocide is to let Netanyahu complete it.

The idea that any meda outlet will even mention that children and hardworking families are being rounded up is adorable. The billionaires bought all the networks and newspapers for a reason - so that there'd be no way to embarrass the Great and Powerful Trump.

In a recent interview, he admitted he could not restore grocery prices to 2019 levels without a recession

His tariffs will bring that recession pretty quickly, so he may accidentally fulfill his promise.

That’s a good strategy, because appeasing fascists always works out well.

I wondered why Samsung, a company that literally produces military weapons, wasn't on the list.

Probably because South Korea is a close military ally.

Remember, solving any problem while not solving every problem is a complete waste of time and it’s better to do nothing.

He’s not actually president yet, but it seems everybody has just decided to pretend he is. Biden still has the power to call a drone strike and take out Trump with absolutely no legal repercussions for another month, as per the Supreme Court.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the government shut down so completely that congress couldn’t actually convene to certify the election? That would be fun turnabout.

“He blew the whistle on a multibillion dollar company - obviously he knew they’d kill him! Suicide.”

Go for it. I’m sure it will go better than the last time they tried it.

“RFK Jr: an iconoclast set to shake up a complacent public health establishment.”

I’m sure that’s a much more effective than trying to build up US companies to make solar panels.

Or without one. SCOTUS already ruled that Trump just has to say “official act” and there is literally nothing he can be held accountable for.

Sadly, way too many actually do.

"I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one."

History has many examples of how shipping urban intellectuals off to work on farms rids you of said intellectuals and leads to (checks notes) mass starvation. Since that’s the worst possible outcome, I imagine he’s going to go with that.

Sure.

He’ll be confirmed with no problem. They always give Trump whatever he wants.

I think she should do it to fuck with Trump since all his 47 branded merch would then be worthless.
