Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

A Republican would let Trump shit in their mouth if it meant a 'lib' had to smell it.
To be honest, I expected it to be bad. But this right now? Oh my gosh. He really out-trumped himself.
Don’t worry there’s only forty-seven and a half months left.
1441 days, 11 hours, 4 minutes
There’s a part of me that hopes it’s much less but that couch fucker is a smart guy which is scary.
I'm hoping that Vance won't be able to hold MAGA together. The thing about cults of personality is that when the dear leader is gone they tend to fall apart. Fingers crossed.

No they aren't angry. They give zero fucks and just pull an RFK on Samoa. They will simply not to pay attention to "MSM" if it gets inconvenient, and any present change will be chalked up to Kamala.
I think I have seen a few anecdotal instances where I'm seeing cracks. One of them is likely to lose their job directly because of donvict being in office.
I have no sense of how widespread it really is, though. There is that guy running that channel about maga leaving the cult. And of course the media they watch will do nearly everything possible, as long as possible, to prop up the illusion of "Trump".
That's very optimistic. Remember people leaving the GOP ship in droves after Jan6? By 2024 they managed to return to trump somehow. Almost everything that happened in the past 3 weeks that is of consequence to peoples livelihoods had been entirely predictable. I wouldn't count on the judgement, nor the political memory of people with sudden "trumpgret" in 2024.
Chaos is exactly what you signed up for, maybe read the fucking fine print next time.
I know it's tempting to dunk on these people, but if you know anyone like this, tell them to call their Senator and voice their displeasure. They probably won't listen, and they deserve their, "leopards ate my face," moment, but trying to mobilize them would be far more productive than saying, "told you so."
Very good point. I plan on giving the people I know IRL an off-ramp and I will try not to show that I'm judging them. Breaking with a cult is very difficult. Admitting they were wrong about nearly everything is world-shattering.
It's even harder if they think people will just be hostile and tell them how wrong they were, etc. As much as people want to give them no safe harbor, and make them grovel and prostrate themselves before normal Americans and constantly remind them about how much they have hurt others....that's not how the human psyche works. Almost no one is going to return to normalcy for that kind of treatment...
Exactly. Also, be prepared to do it in stages. I'm sure a lot of people probably aren't ready to admit that voting for Trump was a mistake, but they might be willing to admit that Trump is making mistakes by starting a trade war or giving Musk so much power. Take what common ground you find and try to build on it.
Unless they are done being class traitors, I hope they starve.
My Trumper dad told me that he has never seen his industry this slow before (starting in January). He has worked in this industry for over 40 years. He then goes on to say that he can't wait for Trump to fix the mess that we are in.
WTF? He is the reason your industry is so slow. How can he not see that it started being slow once Trump came into power???
Imagine if they could imagine how the rest of us feel
How many more people do you think will accept this… harm… if the eggs were down?
A depressing amount.
Wow a 5% decline... ... ... ...
Vote for a grand wizard, expect collateral damage from the fireballs.
I'm tired of hearing this. These people need to be shunted from our narrative.
Strange, because it’s EXACTLY what they signed up for.
Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.
Wow can you imagine your face getting eaten by leopards this hard? \s
We signed up for Nazism! Not for our subsidies going away!
