America - you are so fucked.

Not just America, another Trump presidency is bad news for all of us. Yes, the USA is not the center of the world but they do have a lot of influence.

Unfortunately we are the rome of our time...and we seem to be following in their footsteps more and more.

Hey mighty brontosaurus

Don't you have a lesson for us

You thought your rule would always last

There were no lessons in your past

You were built three stories high

They say you would not hurt a fly

If we explode the atom bomb

What would they say when we were gone?

Walking in your footsteps...

There's a lot of far right movement happening around the world and evertime they come back from their propaganda meetings in Hungary, there's a new far right idea regurgitated. Even Trump and other Republicans went and came bace with talking terms for Republican Americans.

Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a right-wing populist and national-conservative political party in Hungary led by Viktor Orbán.

Not exactly. Sure it seems that way for all of us, but we really didn't have the political weight that we have globally until after WWII.

What is worse than Biden doing so terrible last night? It's the Democrats insisting he did really well.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I do not think many democrats have insisted that. Biden did considerably better on content, he actually got his facts right whereas Trump lied constantly. But presentation is everything, and Biden failed horribly at that.

Of course, the day after Biden seems fine again at the rally he did. Really unfortunate for him.

I will never forgive the Democrat party for treating our citizens with such contempt. They literally hate us and think we're all mindless idiots, in their feverish desperation to preserve the status-quo with their UberLib presidential candidate that they think they're "above" actual politics, which consists of things like talking to people and listening to people's concerns and creating easy-to-follow narratives with engaging leaders.

Nope. They want line to keep going up and they will force this nightmare on you to keep it going up.

You could have put nearly ANYONE on that state and they would have ran circles around Trump's inept lying. Anyone. Get Bernie, get Newsom, get Kamala even, get fucking Hillary back and get her drunk. Literally ANYONE could have done better against the man most likely to win the presidency and also most likely to end democracy.

The only reason I can imagine they think it's safe to gamble this way is if they don't actually care about the outcome. They don't want change, they want the story to unfold the way they have already written it.

We beat Medicare tho.

The majority are calling for him to step down though

No actual congressional politician has that I know of. It would be political suicide until they are sure they are "allowed" to do so. However, it may only take one brave soul and the rest will follow. They plan these things behind closed doors to try to stay united.

You think it’ll be just America?

~~America~~ World - ~~you~~ we are so fucked.

And sex education, birth control, maybe gynecology in general, and say a big hello to child-brides, enforced prayer in school, and the courts loosening up all those old "restrictive" policies about racial discrimination. Also, industries everywhere will have a solution for dealing with all their toxic waste. Directly into your drinking water.

You're not wrong.
