Can someone edit this to say "we are going to break the law" at the bottom? Maybe "break more laws"?

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 1 points 32 minutes ago

If that happens GOP will lose.

This is not new or news. Its spelled out in black and white in the 900 page document “Project 2025 “ written by The Heritage Foundation. Its a shame voters didn’t read this before voting because this is exactly what they voted for.

I don't think it's meant to be "funny" in any sense. He's just showing what he's going to do; same as ever. He will be pretty fucking old in 2028 tho

You're right, he might start showing signs of dementia in 2028.

Can be fixed with a simple red dot on the hat

Don't do that. That's how you miss like Butler, Pennsylvania. Go center mass.

It is if you ain't American.

It really isn't.

I've had enough of the dumpster fire happening in the US. It's leeching into every aspect of our lives, and we're not US citizens, we have no power to influence change. Trump, Big Tech, and his republican base are trying their damnedest to fuck over anything that moves.

The realization that nations are tools... And the citizens are just traded assets used.

And the entities of power that use the nations as tools are transnational.

...meaning that maybe USA is being manipulated as a cog in a bigger plan that is global.

...meaning the goal of the nation isn't our freedoms or for our authentic humanity. It's like the nation is a department of a warehouse or factory and the citizens - or workers - just get told their roll as a cog in the broader aspect without knowledge of what the warehouse or factories overall agenda or end goal. Control of the plan is met by keeping key aspects, or departments in this analogy, separate from each other. This means that each department can be told they are working for something that might seem authentic or moral or ethical, but only because they are kept from seeing the function they play in the full mission.

With modern datamining and marketing entire lifestyles and cultures are more easily led down a specific path. A good documentary about this is The Century of Self. Also 5th and 6th generation warfare align with the concept.

The path of humanity and the human species is barely natural or authentic at all anymore.

It's going to get worse with growing Ai, surveillance, datacenters to power profiling, and modernized policing with this technology.

Is this why ICE funding is so insane? A bill is currently in place for ICE to police shoplifting, not just immigrants. And their current boosted reign seems to align with the drive of AI and datacenters. I think consumer grade Ai is partially a scam to convince people to give away their humanity to the modern system and infrastructure that seems to be being built.

...and sadly if what I said is true and the nation is just a tool... ...ask yourself what does that make left, right, and center agendas? Do they effectively lead to the same outcome in the grand picture? Are each just different tools used at different times to reach the same outcome? Are the dramas between "sides" used to entice peoples emotions so that they are easier to lead?

No it isn’t and Nocturnal Engineer summed up why.

Fucking tired of it.
