she’s just a megaphone yelling into a void.

That makes you the void…

That’s part of the problem with the people of the USA… when a republican does something evil, you guys twist in pretzels to justify it is not quite THAT evil… when someone stands up against evil (I am not going to say Democrats to that but in this case AOC is standing up and she happens to be a democrat) then all the “yes but…” comment start

This is how I see it:

• The USA was circling the drain for at least a few decades and now it has been flushed (flushed, it’s done, you are now in the sewer)

• You now have a small (very small) window to save yourselves from starting WWIII which is the logical outcome when the US economy collapses (they are not going to suddenly say “hey we were wrong” and take it)

• You should fight not just because it is morally compulsory but because you will suffer greatly personally. If you wait to be in pain (no job, no house, etc) it will be too late, you are already almost too late

• You need to stop cherry picking the very few people you have that seem to have the bravery and/or smarts to fight back somehow. An imperfect ally is NOT an enemy

• You need to JOIN the fight

Letting bad actors get away with excuses you are basically making up for them, is how the USA went down the toilet

hidden?

stop pushing the goal post… 2a solutions were more than justified 2 two weeks after the clown took over the circus

it’s terrible

The stock market is celebrating Trump finally forgot the gun in the toilet and won’t be shooting it anymore (with any luck)

This is 100% capitulation day for the USA

yes, “neither side” implies Russia and Ukraine

If Trump’s second term makes things awful enough to facilitate actual change, “awful” is gonna have to be a lot worse than anything we’ve ever seen.

That’s already the case

that"s like saying the benfit of stage four cancer is that you get to lose weight

only an idiot would make that trade; so yes, that trade is not just possible, it’s inevitable

Which is hardly a plan… more like a collection of terrible ideas

Remember that the entire Tariff nonsense is the brain child of Navarro who literally invented a supposed expert to justify how they could work. This is literally a fraudulent idea to fill a shitty book that, by terrible happenstance, found an idiot stupid and powerful enough to implement it

We are lucky Trump did not find Jack and Beanstalk first or he would be opening holes anywhere to plant magic seeds

There are easier, safer way to crash the economy that are far less public

I get the feeling those who insist there is a plan, just don’t want to admit the emperor has no clothes

lobbying the gov for strict IP law, he buys pharma stock before awarding the contracts for buying all the drugs to make money on that as well

he has been milking that good will cow for decades

I’m going to upvote just from the great usage of the word Mendacity

It implies nothing because it is not competence that is evaluated here.

Republicans beat Democrats because:

#1 A sizeable core of the American demographic cannot tell the difference between their elbow and a chair (too stupid) and are fearful of their own shadow

#2 The alternative, the Democrats, are almost as incompetent as the Republicans making the distinction moot.

This is what mediocrity looks like
