That's how long it will take to rebuild US foreign policy, 60 years. I hope Rand is correct, fuck the GOP.
I question if the intent isn't to make magats and basic Republicans fear a downfall in hopes they double down on support.
We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years.
I sure fucking hope so, you piece of shit.
"Fuck the people this will harm, what about my political party!?
Hopefully! The world would be a far better place. Globally and domestically.
Conservative policies just have their own heads up their asses sucking Trump's rich spoiled cock
What will probably happen is a one or two term slump. What's different between then and now is the internet and social media, which fills most people's brains with a deluge of noise. In addition to the effects of misinformation daily telling people that the moon is the sun, most algorithms prioritize novelty, and nothing's more novel than the most stupidly wrong-headed take. We constantly hear the opinions of people who should be laughed out of the room! We sit and chuckle, but there's tens of millions of people who have poor media skills who it can actually influence.
This depends on what safeguards (if any) are put in place after he's kicked out, and if we're still stuck with two opposing 'teams' that are both purely beholden to the oligarchs.
Germany stayed fascist-resistant for a long, long time. But they were compelled to.
If he actually moves against Canada and/or Mexico and others step in, that could happen again.
This also assumes the outcome of such a move is not in his favor. (which i'd like to think is likely
Good. Fucking good. Also fuck with Social Security while you are at it and secure your fucking grave permanently.
First time ever that I hope Rand Paul is correct. Don't threaten me with a good time Rand Paul!
I hope this leads into demolishing republican party and moving on from the clearly faulty two party nonsense of a system. You can't keep functioning if you're on the verge of becoming authoritarian regime with oligarchs.
The Republican party deserves to die for allowing Donald Trump to rise to power. The Democrat party deserves to die for being useless to stop them. America needs a whole new fresh start with new parties
or better yet, no parties at all and force some of our morons to actually learn their candidates beyond just party lines.
I used to be a swing voter before Trump, after this admin, I will never vote for a Republican again. Especially since most support him.
I will go to my grave before I support a Republican for anything. I wouldn't vote for a Republican for street sweeper.
Guess who is using data illegally gathered from social security to prevent legal voters from voting? If you guessed the king in orange you'd be right.
They have been purging voter rolls all over the country for a long time now. But their methods have vastly improved recently. In the swing states last year they purged 3.5 million voters. In the midterms next year they want to challenge the eligibility of everyone.
Only voters with a passport or original birth certificate would be allowed to vote.
The administration also just enacted task force teams to supposedly ensure election security
Which basically means the people who did election fraud just recently and staged a coup against the government, are now in charge of ensuring that the elections are securely done
... That is the things of dictatorships
Oh no!
.... Anyway.
I don't think they need to worry, the dems like losing a lot more.
From your mouth to Satan’s ears!
Republicans should be wiped out. Fools, monsters, and traitors. They've done incalculable damage to the world and all those who live here.
Every Republican that dies should be cause for celebration.
Look, I'm pissed too, I want them tf out of power and I want them to face consequences for what they've done. But celebrating the death of every Republican is more than a little extreme. The top dogs / those responsible? Sure. But let's not go calling for the deaths of our countrymen - who are, tbh, blind fools who've been brainwashed by propaganda. That doesn't make them worthy of death. I'd recommend avoiding turning the heat straight to 100 unless you want to watch our country walk an even darker path in coming years. If you've convinced yourself that's the outcome you actually want - of civil war and all the other fucked up shit that tends to come with war - then you're your own type of blind fool.
I’m sorry. My grandpa taught me the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. He was a smart dude
So they get power and do a bunch of shitty things. Then no one wants them in power anymore. Seems the country was doing quite well without them at the helm. Now....not so much.
So things aren't necessarily all bad.
I wish American Voters had memories longer than 4 years. But they don't.
They got pissed at Bush and the Republicans in 2006 for the war and in 2008 for crashing the economy.
And 2 years later in 2010 they voted in a red wave not seen since reconstruction.
Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government and 4 years later they gave him another chance. If Trump shot a crowd of people on 5th avenue the kids of the victims would vote for him 4 years later.
Hopefully the republicans can go the way of the whigs, the democratic party can become the conservative party they so desperately want to be, and we can create an actual party on the left.
Of course that’s all he cares about. Fuck him, I hope he loses everything he holds dear.
These MAGA will just move to their Republican overlords after Trump has died. The real hope would be a split GOP. MAGA/GOP and Dems.
Don't threaten me with a good time!!!
Also, it's a wheel. The Cons ruin the economy, voters get mad and vote Democrat, Democrat fixes economy, voters don't like the spending even though it's improving everything so vote Con, the Cons ruin the economy, ect ect so on and so forth
Really? I don't think your idiot voters will remember for longer than 5 years. And with an opposition like the Dems it'll be easy for you to get back into power. Don't overestimate the Americans. We all made that mistake once.
Don't threaten us with a good time...
I hope we get rid of all these bastards once and for all. Their entire party and platform is and always has been a giant fucking sham that preys on the gullible.
We can only hope.
He doesn't give a shit about the mass starvation, shantytowns, global economic depression, and rise of Nazism into the largest war in human history that left hundreds of millions dead. No, he's worried because his party wasn't in power.
Fuck yourself with the largest, sharpest cactus that exists on the planet, you slimy, snivelling pathetic excuse for a fucking human, Rand Paul.
Notice that's their top concern. Not hurting Americans, not pissing off allies, not a recession, not handing off the title of World Superpower to China, but losing their jobs is their top concern.
Good. You nazi fucks deserve all the pain that comes to you.
It would be too soon, if we got rid of them and these Corpo Dems. We could remove citizens United and few other worthless pieces of legislation. That and stop this fucking election tampering in the name "stopping fraud" fucking clowns making voting a single day during the work week and these Red hatted goons cheer for this shit like the mouth breathing inbred ghouls they are because they hate everyone else is beyond annoying.
Lets hope!
Rand Paul is educated but not smart. But he's right here, and now there is nothing he or anyone can do about it. I do hope this is the beginning of the comeuppance the GOP so desperately, desperately needs.
Man if only he could like vote to get rid of them or something. too bad he's literally powerless and can't do a thing to stop this. /s
Inshallah
I've stopped believing there is anything that will make people stop voting Republican
