Trump no longer being president changes nothing. His enablers in congress, the supreme court, his administration, the entire GOP and a significant portion of the electorate tell me nothing significant changes.

The US has lost its fucking mind. There is no going back.

The polling missed an important question: how many Americans see the US as an enemy state?

Yeah there seems to be a bunch of religious fascist doomsday types that have been quietly taking over the US for the last 50 years or so, and Trump is just the latest symptom of that IMO. Getting rid of Trump or switching to the Democrats for 4-8 years isn't really going to make a lot of difference. Project 2025, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel etc. will continue doing what they're doing.

The US was founded as a oligarchy, only white rich males had any say. They started with genocide and land theft, grew through slavery and imperialism, and tRump has just dropped the mask they have been hiding behind for 250 years. Good to see people waking up to what that country really is, I hope they don't go back to sleep when he is gone.

yeah it doesn't matter who they elect anymore. Americans are dead to me. How can you trust those idiots when they constantly go back to the right-wing well and then say "sorry about that" after 4 to 8 years only to pull the same shit another 4 or 8 years later.

fuck em. shit hole country full of nazis.

The US is not the enemy! He still loves me! He, he just loses his temper sometimes when I, when I upset him. That's all.
