To be fair, a large majority of Americans didn’t acknowledge the threat until very recently. In general, politicians do not go for bold moves unless they feel they have a large support from the population.

Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.

This, 100%. Fanning the flames of outrage only works on people who are already on your side.

I think their plan is to break every public institution, privatize it and buy it back for one tenth of its worth.

Same thing happened in the USSR in the 90s.

“This is not what I voted for”

This is why anti-American rhetoric is being pushed to you

As a Canadian, I can assure you the anti-american sentiment does not come from any rhetoric being pushed. The actions of trump and co are quite enough.

I don’t think you can claim refugee status in Canada if you are an American citizen.

At that point, he’ll die, Vance will take his place, and will be so un-charismatic that he’ll be defeated by a Democrat in 2028 which will find themselves with all this power thanks to the Supreme Court… but will prefer to take the high road and reach across the aisle only to get fucked once again.

Well, I tried.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see political opponents falling from windows before the next midterms.

By this standard, Windows isn’t ready either. I use Mint, Windows and Mac interchangeably at work, and of the three, Windows is definitely the one with the most unpleasant surprises: computer slowing down for no apparent reason, printers disappearing, updates forcing you to reboot in the middle of something…

Mac is fantastic if you don’t mind feeling like your computer doesn’t belong to you.

This is what happens when there is no more rule of law. Now migrants are sent away, tomorrow citizens will be arbitrarily jailed and criminals freed, next political opponents will be gunned in the streets while the cops will be told to look the other way.

Wake up US. Fight this, no one will if you don’t.

This should show Americans how billionaires perceive “peaceful protests”.

Tariffs don’t work like that. They are taxes in foreign goods, so Americans are the ones paying.

This sounds so much like the “when the Communist revolution comes” of old Soviet countries…

Granted, but I was just pointing out that the act of burning teslas isn’t something that people do to “destroy cars so that Elon gets less money”. Mussolini wasn’t hanged upside down because his heels were stronger than his neck.

The goal is not to destroy cars, it is to destroy what it represents.

These days the only hope I have left for the US is that everyone on the left become a dem party member and primary the shit out of all these “high road” cowards.

Trump and co won’t stop, and there won’t be a backlash if it’s not supported politically.

The House approved a federal spending bill that could force D.C.’s local officials to cut more than $1 billion out of the city’s current $21.2 billion budget, a move that city leaders warn would prompt a hiring freeze, result in likely government layoffs, and potentially “decimate” services for residents and visitors – including police and schools.

Misleading title.

I see a lot of negative comments, but the sad truth is that resistance needs a political alternative, and Trump won’t stop.

So why don’t you try to put pressure on Dems so they represent you better? Ask them to take a real political position, publicly. Nobody should give them any money before they do.

This. Even if they don’t have any real power in the Senate or the House, they should be fighting and actively resisting on every front.

Protests, occupations, or any other popular movement initiated by the people will serve nothing unless they are clearly supported by the Democrats.
