With this opposition, you might as well be a one party state like China. Even if Democrats win, Republicans still end up in a position to block whatever they don’t like.
As long as Democrats keep chasing Wall Street donors instead of listening to what people want, I’m going to keep shitting on them.
At most it cost her Michigan. There were deeper issues with the campaign.
Because it’s so much better for women if the first female president ends up with a shorter term than Liz Truss, and only as a consolation prize. That’ll definitely help the case of the next female candidate.
Nah, they’ll all buy 48 hats, and Trump will be another few millions richer. This is such a stupid idea on so many levels.
Yeah, of course. Some industries were already starting the onshoring though, and there’s going to be a ton of lobbying by industries to actually not implement those tariffs, so we’re not even sure this is going to happen.
A general strike is basically the only check left, and it’s definitely not going to be pretty. But it’s not like there’s anything else you can count on, the courts are in his pocket, police love Trump, Congress will enable him, so it’s unions or there’s nothing else left.
If tariffs are instated, unions will gain a huge amount of leverage in those industries domestically, even with a hostile NLRB.
The CHIPS act already kicked off that process. Of course Trump will take credit for it once those factories are online in a few years.
Nah, there’s a good chance the DEA will continue enforcing federal laws even in states that have legalised it.
Yeah, I don’t think this is any kind of broad movement. Might be a good excuse to turn a guy down without making him feel it’s about him.
Yep, Conservatives have a short memory of the kind of shit that used to happen before no fault divorce.
Countries have different immigration streams, and skilled people that have matching language skills are put way in front of refugees in every country. Countries like Australia and New Zealand will be jumping at the chance to get scientists and health care professionals from the US. They’re already picking off everyone they can find in the UK.
They have 6 justices that are happy to interpret the constitution in any way Republicans like already.
He’s planning to fire a ton of government employees unless they bend the knee, and if he starts messing with universities a bunch of scientists would be pressured to say the ‘right’ things as well. If that happens, those people would leave. Plus, in those other countries, health care isn’t tied to your employment.
There’s no guarantee all 4 of those states would be red tho.
The ones leaving are the best educated ones. It’s basically a brain drain, similar to what happens to a lot of developing countries. Once the process starts, it’s hard to reverse because it’s a self reinforcing cycle.
The one good thing the Republican party did was to stop pretending Bush II was popular. They ran away from this guy as soon as Obama was elected and pretended they never met the guy, so they could be a completely new party that couldn’t be held accountable for past ‘mistakes’ (even though their policies never actually changed).
The Democrats on the other hand are still rolling out Clinton on the regular, even though he’s responsible for a lot of issues we’re seeing now, and was good friends with Epstein and Trump.
Good news, turns out justice Sotomayor has health issues too!
Oh wait, that’s the opposite of good news. The Democrats are just useless.
Even if you learn about the holocaust, nobody really learns about the rise of Hitler and how a sympathetic judiciary and law enforcement gave him the lightest possible sentence for trying to do a coup. You get the impression that Hitler was a bad man who just showed up and singlehandedly invented anti-Semitism and somehow got the whole country on board with the holocaust.
They’re fine with whatever Trump wants to do to the American people, but they’ll do anything to make sure the Empire isn’t endangered.
