Hey US, you good?

We were planning on going back to visit family, pero.. I feel like I would come there, and get deported 😂😭 Like what's going on..?

People are literally raising Nazi symbols, as if they wouldn’t be arrested or fined for that in most other countries. Meanwhile, the same people cry about anti-Semitism when they see pro-Palestinian demonstrations—as if the Nazi symbol itself isn’t the biggest threat to Jews. Make it make sense.

Not to mention all the plane crashes.. You telling me that a military helicopter, crashed with a plane, on a very known route and that don't seem hella sus? How tf.

And ofc the endless hate on women..

Maybe I'm overthinking🙄

We've got chaos, nobody knows if we're OK or not.

For example, on Jan 20 or 21 Tяump signed an executive order freezing all US government grants, loans, and some other forms of aid. What Tяump didn't seem to realize is:

(1) government spending is set by laws passed by Congress, and the Constitution assigns the "power of the purse" to Congress, not the president.
(2) much of government spending goes out to states in the form of "block grants." Things like aid for the elderly, transportation, health programs, education etc are all distributed as big grants. This is a result of states' rights advocacy pushing for states to have more choice in how their federal money is spent.

So Tяump's dummasss order froze a whole lot of money that people needed, expected, and had the right to by act of Congress. A judge soon blocked Tяump's dummasss order, but - I have friends in state gov't - the chaos is still being unsnarled.

And that's not the only instance. I could go on, but you get the picture. We have chaos.

@ElwoodBlues That's why it's good to actually elect politicians ie. people who are experts in how government works.

@ElwoodBlues I'm being told I'm not allowed to view one of your posts. Do you know why that would be?
@ffony I have no idea. Maybe the original poster blocked you? Can you try opening in a private window or something like that?
America is not okay. The majority of us didn't ask for this and I'm getting sick of the hate coming from inside and out of the country.

@MarbleMarvel This so very much. Things are going to get so much worse too.
@MarbleMarvel I'm sorry.

We are not all like that!! Less than 40% of our population actually voted for this. And it is not like we are having lots of plane crashes--I do not think there is some hidden plot. there...

I certainly don't believe you are chump. My responses are definitely proportional to what I'm responding

Slightly less than 1/3 of the country actively wanted this (for now; not that it's going to matter if they'll have a mind change later on), but knew they didn't have the numbers, so actively pushed "both sides bad!" rhetoric in order to discourage as many others as possible to vote against them.

Less than 1/3 of the country saw this in advance (not that it was difficult: they literally published 900 pages detailing every single step of what they're doing now in advance, which was posted everywhere) and urged everyone to vote against the former group.

The rest were too clueless and/or distracted, and actually fell for the 'both side bad" argument, or "genocide Joe", "slow Joe", and all variations of that, and threw away their vote or didn't vote at all, allowing the first geoup to secure a majority and take control of all branches of government.

@BlueGreenGrey Yeah whether they realize it or not they're an active part of the problem.

Maybe they don't share the malignancy (or maybe a lot of them are just MAGA people in disguise, afraid of exposing their allegiance) but they share the same base willful ignorance. These people were warned, consistently, about what was at stake and they still decided to play that dumb "I'm above these choices" game, granting Trump exactly the low turnout he needed.

In practical terms, 2/3* of the country either actively or passively enabled this (*assuming the election wasn't rigged and that the figures are truthful)

Another page out of the Schicklgruber song book.

Hint; It was called 'Mein Kampf'

Shit, I've succumbed to Godwin's law and I don't like that. But the similarity fits!

@BlueGreenGrey Evil triumphs when good people do nothing
akindheart · 61-69, F
you are overthinking. stop reading social media. it is there to encite hysteria. Trump is deporting first the criminals, then the illegals...anyone who has broken the law. nothing wrong with that. my son lives in a neutral country in Europe. when Syria refugees left, they used Guns to move them out of the country. nothing was said about that.
@akindheart you're gaslighting
Docdon23 · M
@akindheart they are rounding up children and non-criminals. I know this first hand--my daughter teaches in a school where this is happening.

@akindheart most of the updates I get are from family and friends^^

We are very much not good.
You sound like you’re…

Don't spend your money there.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@JimboSaturn Although I would like to go visit my SW American friends, maybe after all this is over in 4 years lol
Elessar · 26-30, M
@JimboSaturn It won't go anywhere in 4yrs. It's absolutely naive assuming this can be voted out.
Pretzel · 61-69, M
You get used to it

Like a hurricane recovery or an earthquake
And this is what some people thought was "the lesser of two evils".
Unbelievable. 😞
@JimboSaturn surely renaming the Gulf of Mexico will bring down the price of food, I just know it!

The fun part is some were expecting the US automotive industry to be nearly destroyed by the Cheetolini tariffs in as soon as a week. It's almost a shame the tariffs got paused so we could not see this play out. The MAGAts (probably many of whom work in the US automotive industry) are going to need a HARD lesson. But then I suppose they will somehow blame Cheetolini destroying Ford and GM on ... Biden? Obama? Pelosi?!

It's pretty much going to take the complete destruction of the US by a historically stupid right winger for US right wingers to get it.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@BlueGreenGrey it might still happen in 30 days!

@bijouxbroussard ..... wants to make us a 51st State.
Pushing me towards confirming Godwin's law yet again. Trumpsters make it so easy.
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
Nope, this is spiraling at an astounding rate.

In California...it's asleep dreaming about Unicorn Fart blasting rainbows while the little elfs are singing and dancing.

Meanwhile in California wakes up.

@pancakeslam In this world, America carries more weight than any other country. You've seen pictures of the people?

- I know, I know; actually, obesity is everywhere. But you're the American sneering at other peoples' foods. Don't skate on thin ice.
