I don't know why more people aren't talking about the fact that he's building a data center under the Whitehouse

Because the Democrats were involved with all of the camps they're building as well. They seem to be planning for something and the Democrats don't seem to be against it.

America is probably setting itself up for a civil uprising, after AI decimates the country..

It's all super weird govt behaviour.

If you don't see him try to force a third term then you're lucky.

And then, after another 75 maybe 100 years of being international pariahs, the rest of the world MIGHT consider taking you people seriously again....

USAmerica - you are going to have a population of fundamentally broken people after this. High schoolers watched their friends disappear. Children in daycare saw their teachers dragged out. Relatives and neighbors were dragged out of their homes. Stores were raided. People are dead; And lives will forever be changed.

This chaos creates trauma, resentment, distrust, hatred. Because in the end -- we let it happen. The people of this nation let this terror happen. We let tens of thousands be massacred. We let our stores and community homes be raided.

And it was done through our core infrastructure. The people were trafficked through federal agencies. Our three branches of government worked together to make this happen. Our corporations and their technology let this happen. Google. Amazon. Microsoft. Apple. They all have had a role. Our neighbors voted for this, cheered for this.

If the next candidate—be it Democrat or Republican—wants to close the book on all this and broadcast platitudes of Democracy and Compassion... whatever candidate(s) those are, I hope they fail.

Ok, but this is all Day 1 shit. What are you actually going to do to improve people's lives?

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

I don't even believe most of this will happen. Whatever secret underground facility is being built under the WH will be used. Loyalists will cover for loyalists. The SC will remain compromised for ages.

Its times like this when the line fron 28 Days later pops into my head for no reason in particular; "This motherfucker's waiting for Marks and Spencers to reopen"

I'm not kidding when I say it would take almost half a century to restore the damage that has been done to the US and global order...

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

That's assuming it ever happens, which is far from certain.

You just showed the world that laws don't matter. You can't (or won't) enforce your own laws when a government goes rogue. How do you expect someone believes you when you say that?

Whatever this person is smoking, snorting, swallowing, injecting, and/or boofing, I want some. I'm already self-medicating with as much pot as I can afford to get through this assclown fuckery we call an administration; I want/need stronger drugs that enable this kind of magical thinking and optimism.

I explicitly do not want to fix this system. To attempt to fix this system, within the system, would take literally a century. It is inconceivable to me that we could get past the blatant corruption and bureaucratic rot that is at every level of our government.

The only answer is to strip it to the foundation, and then dig that up as well. We need a new constitution, a new Congress of states, perhaps the states should go as well, to be restructured for the new world that we are entering. Florida could be literally underwater year-round by the end of the century. The southwest will be out of water as the Colorado river dries up. The midwest could very easily slip into another dust bowl due to heat stress on grasses. We need to account for these things when we design the new social contract, because this one is dead.

Arguably that’s what a lot of MAGAts were going for. Look what we ended up with

What Trump actually did was hold up a mirror to America so they could see how rotten everything actually was behind the illusion. A painful, humbling lesson but one that has a chance to actually address the rot. There is a future where we all learn from this and move forward after he's gone in a positive way. Removing tumors is dangerous and painful but it's the only hope of survival. The amount of damage doesn't matter if the lessons learnt lead to meaningful progress.

and other jokes we can tell ourselves, Volume II

Plus, there will be justice for all of the girls that were assaulted and raped by trump and his evil white guy racist pedophiliac cabal.

The US will be respected again!

lol

This would be great, but everyone's gotta get off their asses to stop tyranny, first.

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 12 points 3 days ago

Even if this is true and completed it wont be enough for people and governments to trust americans again. I’m not sure what could be done to go back to the way it was. I believe those days are gone for good and we are all sailing into a different and much less friendly and trusting global system, just when our climate is about to whack us hard.

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 12 points 3 days ago

If such a magical thing as an honourable transfer of power could happen, it's pretty rare for fascist policies to be rescinded. Seeing the dems as they are, I almost think they would be disappointed as they will have to pretend to do policy again.

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What makes this poster think that the same dumbass people who fell behind this fatass pedophile won't follow the next fat, piece of shit, douchbag the Republicans throw up?

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The scary thing is that americans got grifted by a fat unlikable dubass that can hardly read. Imagine what someone can do that is just a little bit charismatic.
