Honestly I don’t know what’s going on in the USA. You’re so proud of your “democracy and freedom” yet one of your 2 political parties is able to effectively dismantle the entire thing in less than a decade. You’re now one election away from being a christofascist state.

…and yet you’re all just going to work tomorrow. You’re all doing pretty much nothing except “make sure you vote in 2024.” So I guess every 4 years you’re going to be one election away from a literal Nazi takeover?

I don’t know. Riot or something. I have no idea how you’re all coping so hard.

    I wouldn’t listen to the everything is exaggerated and it is really just fine. We are boiling frogs.

    Our economy hasn’t collapsed, so there isn’t going to be any dramatics like a movie or show

    Rioting won’t do anything. The GOP voters and media outlets will frame at as anything that isn’t far right is bad.

    In many ways, things are bad. We have large parts of the country completely dependent on cars. One of our chief judiciaries should be impeached. A former state governor actually faced criminal charges for far less than Clarence Thomas has been doing. The GOP is trying to dismantle public schools via privatization/vouchers, textbook manipulation, and gagging teachers. The GOP just might nominate Trump even though he is facing so many lawsuits his nickname should be The Defendant.

    Right now, the Democrats far outnumber the GOP, buy the GOP has way better turn out. Saying vote constantly is to use our best defense, overwhelmingly defeats of these people in the elections. If all eligible voters voted, things would be quite different

      Oh, and don’t forget: things are so gerrymandered that Democrats usually have to win something like 2/3 to 3/4 of the popular vote in a state to get over 50% in their state legislatures.

      I am not exaggerating. This is a real thing.

      Well it sucks that I have to"register" to vote. Like what? I am a white skinned American, I was born and raised here. I do not need some stupid registration card to show that I live in my town. Fucking idiot government officials. I HAVE AN ID THAT SHOWS WHERE I LIVE!
