If only a majority of Americans actually voted…
…then they would vote for trump because they’re uneducated and would love what he says to them
Or vote majority dems but still got Trump because your “Democracy” got some middle-men and land-over-people system built-in.
And even with a fair system, we just saw stupidity at play in Germany. Historically high vote participation of ~82.5% and yet still 28.6% for the so called “(christian) Union” (average Republicans), 20.8% AfD (straight-up Nazis) and 16.4 to 8.8% for Social Dems, Greens and The Left. Only reason we aren’t completely fucked like the US is that there are more parties, and the Union didn’t fully finished cuddling with the Nazis yet (they love to do so though, both domestic as well as US MAGA).
The moment you got bad education and especially a bad populistic Press democracy stops working and starts deconstructing itself. Not to mention you’ll get both + pissed off people in a completely fucked economical system.
This shit will never get fixed until radical fascist media talking heads get dragged into the streets and beaten to a pulp every time they lie through their goddamn traitor teeth about tEh sAtAnIc bAby kIllIng dEmOnCrAts.
Fuck the goddamn First Amendment; if you cant use it responsibly you LOSE IT. These fuckers need to be crushed like the vile, pedophile cockroaches that they are.
Bring back the fair doctrine act that Ronald Reagan got rid of.
Edit: And make it an amendment.
The 1996 Telecommunications Act is the MUCH more insidious actor.
How so? Can you explain, or should I look it up?
I remember something about that during the Clinton years, but I can’t recall what it’s about.
It allowed corporations to buy up all the media outlets they wanted, leading to homogenization of content and elimination of voices that corporations find offensive. On The Media podcast did a miniseries about it called The Divided Dial, which was nice to hear because I had been ranting about it for years but it seemed that nobody else was paying attention. I think it’s on YT, but search and ye shall find
Thanks for the info. I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today.
What are your thoughts on what should be done to return sanity to media?
Time to kill every fucking one of those goddamn Nazi pieces of shit Clinton actually campaigned as the first Democratic president to embrace Reagan’s neoliberalism. It’s been a downhill slide ever since. At this point sanity can only be restored through violence, both against the current Nazi regime and against the septuagenarian neoliberals who have a White knuckle grip on the Democrat party
Pandora’s box is already open, I don’t think that would work. Another approach would be to remove hate speech from being considered free speech. Targeting violence towards minority groups shouldn’t be protected by free speech.
Every time they say “sOrOs pAiD aCtOrS” pull an upper incisor out with Vice Grips on pay-per-view
Trump isn’t going to give up power willingly. He is openly and gleefully breaking everything with no thought of the consequences. Republicans wouldn’t be going along with it unless they think they are untouchable. If they think kidnapping people with no due process and dumping them in concentration camps isn’t going to have a consequence, then they are all in. Trusting the rest of their lives on Trump isn’t a bet I would take, but I’m just an everyday idiot.
shortest honeymoon after Melania’s
that’s not enough
it’s ok; he learned his lesson this time
Yeah, and the lesson is “I can get away with literally fucking anything because Congress is run by a bunch of limpdick imbeciles, fascist enablers, and fascists”
Fucking Susan Collins…
Majority of US Voters Support Third Trump
Oh god
Impeachment
Oh thank god
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who had this small heart attack while reading that
I think a lot of us did this
That’s exactly what my thought process was as well.
For a second, i missread the title as third term instead of impeachment and was like “WTF!!!”
What good would impeachment prove when it’s happened twice before and nothing comes of it
This time, Congress could stop blowing the cheeto and have him removed. You know, one of the branches keeping the others in check. I know it ain’t likely, but a man can dream.
At this point they are all so complicit in his crimes that that will never happen, because it will implicate them as well.
Good luck, when Republicans control both chamber of Congress. Thank you American voter.
I think you forget that the second time they got to 54 votes to convict, including multiple Republicans. It’s difficult but not impossible. And even if they don’t get a conviction, which is obviously the most likely outcome, at the very least it distracts the administration and as long as the public supports it it’s a winning issue.
If you think things will keep marching unimpeded the way they are now with impeachment proceedings going on, I think you forget how disruptive they have been in the past
and when the inevitable ‘acquittal’ from the senate comes, it will empower him and he’ll crank the shitshow up even more than it already is.
He has more support in the house than the senate. If he gets impeached by this house he’s toast.
OK then I guess we shouldn’t impeach him. Cool. Let’s just keep doing what we’re doing. Unless you’ve got some great plan you’re trying to tee up here?
The only way to beat Trump is to turn the public against him. Until the public turns on him, there is no political will to stop him.
Please don’t though. It’s just handing Trump an easy victory and perceived exoneration for his crimes.
Which is exactly what happened the last two times.
I’m sure it will go great
These numbers are weak.
Blah, blah, blah.
Most people supported the impeaching the fat fascist in his last term too and it went nowhere because Republicans, independents voted the hard R.
And what’s different now? Not a damn thing. This will go nowhere outside of calls from the current Democratic leadership mewling pathetically and ineffectively for bipartisanship just like last time.
The libs are not going to like that accurate view
There is a damning difference for Trump this term and it’s his economic policy. The only thing Magats care more about than Trump is their money.
If you looked at the poll, 80% of Republicans started they don’t support impeachment.
They stand with the hard R.
Yup.
We’re seeing some Republicans waver but not enough. Reality is, the only two ways out of this shit:
-
We miraculously survive til the midterms and somehow still have a Democracy where Republicans are voted out(lol)
-
The economy gets so disastrously bad that Republicans literally cannot avert their eyes to it anymore. Like, they lose their jobs, their retirement evaporates, their underage kids must start working to be another source of income just to sustain, and things like healthcare become a privilege for the wealthy. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if on the way there, Democrats get fed up and do something that we cant come back from. And then the Republicans will blame all the economic issues on that key moment, because that is what’s in a Republicans nature. There is a 0% chance they will ever accept any responsibility for this mess.
Either way, the second Trump won this election, we were all fucked. I had no faith in the 1/3rd of the country that voted for Trump - they were long gone. But those 45% of eligible voters that didn’t vote, and I know you cock suckers are out there, good job - you fucked all of us over.
And as an aside, its funny to see Florida having discourse about revoking child labor laws. I promise you, what is going to happen is things are going to get so expensive that parents are going to want their kids to be able to work. And that’s how we will lose that worker protection. “I don’t have to pay for a nanny if my 12 year old works a 9-5”. And people like Trump are ecstatic about this outcome.

Hard R
I vote we redefine the popular meaning of this to the way you just used it
I mean it is the party of the Hard R after all.
both parties, only this one is open and proud about it
Sadly, a majority of Trump voters support a third term, probably maybe stopping short at crowning him godking.
I think removal from office would be better. He can do the third term in his own delusional mind.
