Nothing new here. Regan was the flashpoint of the dumpster fire that is America now. Nixon was just the match. Trump is a tanker truck full of napalm.
I wouldn't give Trump that much credit (yet), the damage done by Reagan was far greater (disregarding social/demographic, which I mostly blame the attention industry of). But we'll see how much damage he does this time, maybe he "trumps" Reagan...
He's speaking openly about imprisoning political opponents and even members of his own party that didn't bend the knee. And now the Courts he packed are backing up his claims to absolute immunity.
He even said people will no longer "need to vote" after he's done.
The best hope for America right now is an aneurysm.
Yeah definitely, it could escalate to a complete shit-show unfortunately, as they even got senate and house as well... I'm lucky currently that I'm european, not that politics is heading in the right direction, but we're not yet at autocratic level as could happen in the USA...
Somehow its still democrats' fault.
It was not unprecedented. Nixon sabotaged the Vietnam War peace talks to get elected too. Don't think that has ever been addressed very well either.
Oh, are we counting treasons again? I guess mid-century modern is actually a thing now. Good, it’s a nice aesthetic. Bell bottoms and protest, fuck yeah.
Maybe this time we can follow through, eh? We’ve seen what happens when we don’t.
Good thing they learnt their lessions and itll never happen again. On a completely unrelated note did you know that Hamas is planning on releasing their hostages mysteriously as soon as Trump gets elected, Bibi is also planning on starting serious peace talks at the same time.
