Don’t do my man Viktor von Doom like that. Latveria is a dictatorship, but he’s literally the platonic ideal of a benevolent dictator - his people love him, everyone else outside Latveria thinks he’s actually a pretty decent dude when it comes to ruling too (aside from Richards).

An efficiency department that apparently needs two leaders, as well. Sounds…inefficient.

Yeah, let’s not forget that Trump learned his negotiating skills, partially, from the Mafia. I’d definitely do a double take on my principled stance if the guy who’s been calling for my head since I started is taking supreme executive power, and will likely have a bullet with my name on it if I don’t get out quick.

We had one, yes, but what about second Haymarket Massacre?

Yeah, but all that won’t matter. I’m sure that Trump will simply eliminate large swathes of the DoD, purely because he wants himself to be closest to the actual command structure. All that squad-level command, the “organized chaos” that gives us a lot of tactical flexibility? I’m fairly sure that’ll be gone, because Trump doesn’t trust anyone but him giving orders now. He’s deeply upset he couldn’t simply order the military into cities to break up the 2020 protests, so he wants to be the first and only important link in the command chain, with everyone below selected for loyalty, not competence.

Or they, themselves, might wind up getting deported or killed. We’ve successfully eroded class and even group consciousness.

Not unless they keep the regulation that ACA established where you need to be covered at a certain level. That way insurance companies can literally just collect money and not actually have to pay for anything.

“Official act.” That’s all it’ll take, I’m calling it now.

Most of the regret rate, when looked at alongside reasons for de-transitioning, usually winds up being FAR more on the side of “it’s fucking easier for me to live as my assigned gender and deal with the dysphoria, than dealing with rednecks threatening to turn me into their latest lynching victim every Tuesday.”

She’ll do whatever Trump asks, and has little to no moral qualms about potentially illegal acts.

A lot of them won’t. They’ll keep blaming whichever minority they think of, or simply be mad at higher prices without actually ever analyzing where those higher prices came from. We saw it in 08, we saw it after COVID, and we’ll see it now.

Part of the crew, part of the ship…

Human trafficking, business fraud, stock fraud, having union organizers threatened/killed…

Because like the recession in 08, everyone’s hoping they can buy the dip and sell before everything goes kaboom.

I envy their optimism at claiming they’ll end up in prison over a grave.

See: Ohio basically trying everything it could to avoid enacting legal marijuana.

This is the same guy who, earlier in the week, tweeted that he wanted to drag Democrat politician’s “bloody, beaten bodies” through the street.

The CIA has good reason to believe Trump gave information, because in the span of several weeks after a private meeting with Putin while Trump was president, a whole pile of their Russian and Eastern European intelligence agents and assets dropped off the face of the Earth or wound up dead.

Trump has promised, in VERY few uncertain terms, to deliver a genocide here in the US. Mass deportations of immigrants were one of his big “to-dos” on day one, including deputizing National Guard and police units to assist ICE. This is combined with an AG hopeful who wants to “see Democrat politican’s bodies dragged through the streets”, and Steve Bannon, who helped author a document that basically plans to outlaw homosexuality, being transgender, and (probably) conversion camps, if not outright death camps. You can look all this up, it’s all been well reported on.

This is on top of Trump being close friends with Netanyahu, so congrats - by not voting, you voted for two genocides.

Courting racists is effective because disillusioned leftists DO TEND to metamorphose into racists and fascists over the long term. They get upset their party and politics are stagnating, get upset at the lack of political traction, and wind up eventually blaming other people. You see it more often in young people, but it definitely happens.
