Why do Americans still talk about the constitution like it means something or is still relevant?
Your constitution is GONE. It's a historical artifact. It has no meaning in today's America.
All that matters now is the whim of the emotional toddler in the White House. Get used to it. He's not going until he's dead.
america means freedom and diversity and immigrants. the trump administration hates america
Put Trump and his family on the first boat then..
GOLLY, SOMEBODY SHOULD REALLY [ Removed by Reddit ].
Does that mean they can deport Trump?
I love America… I fucking hate Trump, MAGA and the GOP.
Make America Free Again!!!
America gave you Trump, MAGA and the GOP.
As we all know, a person defines themselves through their actions. So does a country.
Imho, saying Trump(ism) isn't America is like people who do evil, but still think they are good people. Admitting you have a problem is the first step in getting better. You need to hate what America has become. Shifting the blame to the current administration just lets people feel good about themselves. They shouldn't. There is work to do.
The second step is meeting up with others in your community already working to fix it.
But in his mind “Trump = America”
"Ope, looks like this guy hates America. Take him away boys."
Start talking about how you love it when Americans are good to each other, and when they want each other to have things like healthcare.
Hello...? ACLU? Journalists? Lawyers?Congresspeople? Senators? It's the 1st Amendment. The very first one! They should be suing this administration and blasting this out every single day. And we all should be calling our representatives every day, marching, and protesting. To start. Our democracy and country is being strangled, and the silence is deafening.
it's just yo scare you into complacency, you can say anything in a speech
My gut wants to say that this is maybe intended to distract us from keeping focus on the embarrassments of the Signal debacle and the tanking economy. But my gut also tells me that we can have multiple awful things piling up on each other.
Way worse stuff going on. Elon is pilfering data and firing people ever day. Election laws are changing. Lawyers are getin sued into compliance with Maga policies.
Well they have abandoned the Constitution
Why would they care?
Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.
Oh good, you're finally awake. Let's get you caught up on the last six months.
His first term was a shitshow.
Yeah, no, this term there's a lot less kayfabe, a lot more actual speedrunning tyranny. Not to say that they weren't angling at tyranny before, but it's clear they learned their lessons and came back with a plan.
Project 2025 laid all this out, but apparently he knew nothing about it
Or at least concepts of a plan
Nah, dude. Trump sounds like a fucking idiot, but he's got a team of actual super villains working right underneath him.
I agree. I was just making reference to that quote of his from the debate or whatever.
For us, yes. For Republicans, no. In Trump's first term:
He stacked the Supreme Court in his favor (2 of the 3 he appointed helped steal the 2000 election for Bush)
He appointed a record number of federal judges (260, most of which come from the Federalist Society)
He reversed a CFPB rule that made it easier to file class action lawsuits against banks for fucking us over
He oversaw more federal executions of prisoners than any president in 120 years
He cut corporate tax rates from 35% to 21%, the lowest rate since 1939
He pulled the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and our spot was filled by China
There is so much more that he got done which set the stage for what is happening now. For example, he tried to pass about two thirds of the Heritage Foundation's 'Mandate for Leadership' policies in his first term, which is what inspired them to write 'Project 2025', another iteration of the Mandate on steroids.
The fact that Trump lost the election in 2020 is a total fluke, and it took a global pandemic that killed over a million Americans to make him lose.
His first term was far from a shit show in terms of making the current shit show possible.
"He stacked the Supreme Court in his favor (2 of the 3 he appointed helped steal the 2000 election for Bush)"
Fucking, what!?
Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh worked on the legal team for Bush in 2000, helping swing the case after the Brooks Brothers Riot.
See, this is why I hate America.
And they have the nerve to complain about the lack of "free speech" on Twitter
Better get his fat orange ass on the next plane to el Salvador then. He hates america more than anyone else
Come get me asshole! I’ve hated this place since cancers like you were allowed to infect our politics.
Hi, I hate America, please deport me.
Pretty please?
I'm a citizen, but that shouldn't matter anymore...
Wish Granted.
You're now in El Salvador
Monkey Paw Curls...
Not like they will deport you back to your "country of origin" or some tropical getaway. They will send you to a torture prison to die a slow death. Defend yourself, arm yourself, prepare to die if/when they come, because the alternative is way worse.
The world would be a better place if Stephen Miller never said or wrote another word. He's more hateful of the Constitution than anyone in the country. He's a white supremacist bigot who is scared of his own shadow, and when cornered by his idiocy in an interview the only thing he knows how to do is fake outrage to dodge.
