You may be right… I just wish I could be as optimistic as you are. The political opposition to Trump’s changes is very, very weak, and with all the money ICE has now, I’m afraid any popular movement will be swiftly repressed.

Let’s hope US citizens are as resilient as they believe they are.

There are many counterexamples to the third reich. China and Russia have been police states for a long time, with no end in sight.

This is actually a good argument, but the problem is that the other side don’t give a dick about rationality, the rule of law or anything that looks like a coherent political opinion. Democrats are still trying to win using rules that were thrown out the window by the GOP in January.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrived at Dodger Stadium and “requested permission to access the parking lots,” the Dodgers said in a statement.

“They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization,” the statement said, adding that the team’s game later Thursday would go ahead as scheduled.

Say a lot about the democratic party that a fucking baseball team is doing more than they are

Dude had a burnout before it was cool.

Yep. When he talked about buying Twitter, the courts took him to his word and forced him to proceed. The US media might not have the same power as the courts, but t’s a pity they don’t attack him more.

Oh come on. Saying “Without me, he would have lost” if far from admitting he rigged the election. If he did, an admission would need to be more specific. That being said, Musk is a Nazi incel POS.

I would say this is normal in a society where people trust each other.

“Championing the status quo” is not how I would describe what Republicans are doing right now.

Aren’t there primaries for the Dems?

I’m guessing librarians know how to read more than many other categories of federal workers.

Those are two different problems.

Years and years of politicians moving the goalposts further right, letting the rich get richer, allowing more money into politics and disenfranching voters is not something you reverse in a single election, and it won’t change until ordinary people get into politics more and at every level.

But if you vote for Trump or abstain from voting, you’re encouraging it.

“no taxation without representation”

Maybe it is, but could we stop saying this? Politics shouldn’t be analyzed from a psychological perspective. It’s a social phenomena, not a cognitive one. Fascism shouldn’t be excused or explained, it should be fought.

I think his top priority was to avoid confrontation. He has experience with dumb politicians from his time at the bank of England.

Carney had to use a word Trump understands.

But remember folks, calling this a genocide is antisemitic.

They’re more afraid of MAGA than they’re afraid of ordinary citizens. Nothing will change until it’s the other way around.

Same logic with antivax people.
