It will take the world a while to move away from the US. It’s built itself as a relatively trusted, albeit flawed, nation to all the major western powers.
It’s sad to see the destruction of my country’s reputation, sadder to see 50% of the population take pride in it. I’d leave if I could
So far I’m liking lemmy more because there is a lot less per post. I find I’m enjoying each thread more fully. It’s like I’m not endless scrolling because I can’t. I’ve actually read more articles in the day since I’ve joined than in my last 3 months on reddit.
This should have been fixed in the 1800s when Andrew Jackson defied the Supreme Court, but it was ignored and here we are
Well this is what I was waiting for. We’re boned
It’s like not standing for anything and sacrificing your party’s morals in the name of “compromise” isn’t a solid strategy
I’m hopeful this will all lead to America’s farmers breaking from the republican party.
I fear american farmers will go bankrupt and all their land will be bought by corporations.
Ignores my statement of active action
Claims point was proven
Refuses to elaborate
Leaves
Bold moves
Okay so we’re going to have to define words.
Reason:
Please refer to definition 2.
Sure we can spend all day defining words, but that’s obtuse. You very well know what I meant. Not turning an active flight around is magnitudes different than continuing arrests and deportation after a court order.
A justification requires at least some pretense of a reason. Just because you want to is a statement.
Once again, it’s not a cope to acknowledge that things are bad now and they can get worse. I’m going to protests, I’ve stopped all discretionary spending, and I tell my story to anyone that will listen (my work has been directly impacted). Hell I haven’t spoken to my Trump voting father in months. Short of taking arms against the government there’s not much left to do, and frankly to get to that level the milestones on the way to the bottom do matter a lot.
Saying I felt like it is not a justification. Wouldn’t call this a cope either. I know things are bad, but there’s still room for them to get much much worse. I think they will reach that point. It’s just watching the milestones pass now.
There are words and there are actions, but we’re not far off
I don’t know how to make people understand the difference between personal and national debt. It’s frustrating
At least they’re still working under pretense and condition. They “can’t” turn them around because they’re already in route.
It’s not good, but they are using a contrived reason. I’m afraid for the day they stop trying to justify it and keep doing it.
Things are getting to that point rapidly
If they arrest more people after the court order. That will tell us for sure.
I’m not saying things are good right now, they’re pretty bleak
The pressure the DNC seems to exert over it’s canidates is insane. There was probably a lot of pressure on her to toe the line. I heard they reigned in Walz quite a bit too.
Maybe one day the DNC will learn
They’ve broken the law blatantly and have not reversed some things that they should have, but typically they have stopped doing the action when the courts have ordered it.
So they have sorta, but not outright
People felt pain during Bidens admin from inflation and moved to trump. After the pain he will cause I think we will see a much larger shift
Once this administration defies the courts democracy will be over in the US.
It won’t be a one off either, he will then begin doing whatever he wants. Congress will not stop him.
Postponing it won’t matter. Unless he announces retirment we’ll be there
I don’t know, are we sure the Tesla didn’t spontaneously combust? They’re known to do that. Wouldn’t want a manufacturing error pinned on an innocent person…
