      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 and the citizens - or workers - just get told their roll as a cog in the broader aspect without knowledge of it.

        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.

    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

    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.

      The scary thing is, a lot of Trump voters want exactly what’s in Project 2025 to come true. Some voted out of ignorance, others out of malice

      It’s a shame the democrats didn’t spell it out better. Instead they just said “read project 2025.” The dems are so god awful at messaging.

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

    I took it as a given that Trump get a third term on November 5th, 2024. I’ve been saying that this was the case for so long, and only now is it really sinking in with people. That election was game over for American liberalism; the Democrats blew it and now they aren’t even pretending like they can fix things

    It’s not a joke. It’s never been a joke. If americans can’t wake the fuck up and realize the seriousness of the threat, then the real joke will be the sick cackling laughter of the right as a boot heel stomps the nations collective face continuously for decades.

      It’s coming … As an older American who remembers how good life was in the 70s and 80s compared to now, I think it’s going to get far worse before life becomes beneficial again for most of us. I’m too old to be out in the streets causing trouble so to keep my ass from doom scrolling into madness I’ve re started my music hobby after 30 years.
