        Whatevs…. Democrats lost the election and Congress. It’s team fascists now. But sure, gripe about the people who very specifically didn’t do this shit.

          This is specifically why they lost the election. What benefit is there for you to defend it? Because of that, we’re currently stuck with Trump, remember?

          Dems lost due to their inability to rally the voters. 8 million stayed home because dems doubled down on their typical bullshit to protect their own status quo rather than fight for the working class. Failure to recognize this brought us here and until we can call it what it is were gonna stay here.

          I don’t see the point in hungrily gobbling down the cocks of people who enables fascism. It’s their failures that lead us here.

            Silly me. I thought it was the fascists and all the arseholes who voted for the fascists that caused the fascism. I didn’t realise it was the people who provided the alternative to the fascists that actually caused the fascism.

            If you really want to actually blame something other than the fascists, then your electoral system is about 99% responsible for the current fascist shit storm.

          This is about extending Trump’s existing tax cuts. Cuts that were not cancelled by Biden throughout his mandate. So sure, they didn’t enact them but they did inact on them once they had the power.

    Well, he promised tax breaks. If anyone had the illusion that this would benefit lower income brackets, then congratulations: you have officially become senile. Because it follows the same path he did with the last tax breaks: More money for the rich, less for the rest.

      I have no sympathy for anyone who ever voted Trump, but the point has to be made that until voting is mandatory and they actually hold genuine primaries that allow voters to have a say, it’s taking things too far to blame every American for this outcome. The last few presidential elections have been laughably thin pretenses of democracy.

    I don’t know what to think about that. I don’t think that low income Republican voters will feel the face eating of the leopards they voted for as what it is.

    And I’m not even American, but I can see that this exact same thing is going to happen here in Europe/Germany as well. People will vote for the extreme right parties that have all their propaganda on how they are going to give money to the small people and make the country more secure - and at the same time their political programs and past behavior screams “we will give tax cuts mainly to the ultra rich and never cared about the low income people”.

    And they still get voted for. We just love us some good old fashioned fascism. Maybe I need to change my mindset and just be like “let’s gooooo”

      Left parties are also to blame for this. I always vote for the left party but lately I am not OK with about 70% of their agenda.

      A rising number of people are concerned about immigration but left parties just ignore that and pushes for more immigration.

      Immigration causes lot of issues. You see many immigrants pick pocketers in touristic areas, you hear a lot of crime cases involving immigrants, many prostitutes are immigrants and are exploited. It is maybe few but why adding more crimes when we already have enough of it.

      Many immigrants rely on welfare and are eligible as some immigrants do not allow their wives to work and having multiple children is a norm. Left parties always vote against any restrictions.

      They push salaries down and causes unemployment. Many do not want to work on underpaid jobs like in restaurants. But immigrants are OK to take those jobs and push salaries down.

      So people see that left parties are doing nothing for this, left parties do not want upset their base which contain a lot of people from immigration. So people go to right and far right parties.

      Is this a new, shorter style season or an OG 15 week The Apprentice season?

      AI is looping You’re_Fired.DALL-X.quicktime.move and everyone else has been fired by mid season or flailing to compete offscreen every episode.

      There’s a laugh track and commercials.

        Maybe a shortened season without writers during the strike. Pretty sure we’ll see Snooki in a cabinet position before it’s all said and done.

    What the fuck did people think would happen to all the cost savings that doge is supposedly doing? You think that money was just going to sit in government bank accounts or something?
