Not voting has the same consequences, so those aren't too smart either.
Gen Z are entitled like boomers, but with almost no economic prospects outside their parents.
Which makes sense, since loads of Gen Z were priced out of a future before they could even start earning, so there's no point in giving effort
At least Trump will guarantee Gen Z nearly unlimited well paying work if they're interested in bounty hunting immigrants and tracking fertility
What better way to oppress women than by making it illegal to not have your child with you.
Women better get ready to be accosted by police asking where their child is - and if you don't have one you'll be entered into the police lottery where everyone at the station gets a chance bestow a child upon you before you can leave.
Damn, strong policy that will actually help regular people acquire a fundamental human need without taking them for absolutely everything they are worth?
Can't believe she hasn't been assassinated yet.
Resigned to run for the highest office in the country you mean?
"as it would require congressional action to accomplish legally"
I'm absolutely certain the most crime ridden, corrupt, untouchable person in history who is exclusively fueled by revenge and powerlust would be successfully confined by the law after the supreme court explicitly stated that doesn't matter for presidents.
Yup, he sure learned his lesson that rules and laws absolutely apply to him and there's no point in trying to outrun justice if you're wealthy and connected.
Honestly, blame the media for this one.
They talked about project 2025 for maybe 10 days and spent the rest of the time ignoring the absolute fact that concrete steps are being taken across the board to end democracy and impose a Christian theocracy as fast as possible.
There was no concentrated effort to warn Americans of the very real threat Trump is, and what absolutely will happen if he won the election.
All the public saw was a witch hunt against Trump that went nowhere as he promised to be a dictator and change the fundamental structure of the United stated to further billionaire interests, and the actual reality of this was never explicitly stated.
News media is responsible for educating the population, with standards on the quality and accuracy of the information, but neither side will ever do any such thing.
Both political parties and every news medium are completely corporately owned and will never platform something that threatens their control.
I wonder if this is why fox news et all were flagrantly lying about roving immigrant gangs occupying towns (that never existed)
That happens in a lot of immigrants home countries, so immigrants voting to stop it from coming to America makes sense - its why they uprooted their lives and migrated to America in the first place.
I'm just as disappointed as anyone else in the outcome/demographic split etc - but it's almost hard to blame people when every "legitimate" news source can pitch a coordinated fantasy and make it real.
You're supposed to be able to trust news sources - but when multiple news sources coordinate to make up stories and narratives that aren't true, and there's zero consequences for lying or promoting disinformation, people will never be able to make an informed opinion again.
Just like the lack of consequences for Trump let people believe he's the target of a witch hunt. People want to believe the accountability applied to them is also applied to major institutions like news, police, and government, but can't seem to understand it only exists for the poor.
Wtaf is going on in the US lately.
Looking at breaking up Google
Going after Visa for monopolizing debit markets
TD slapped with a penalty worth more than the crime (for the first time ever?)
Going after market manipulators
I've never seen the law applied to the wealthy in a way that might actually influence future behaviour (and not for the worst??!)
And with some damn wiggle room this time.
We had multiple Democrats Peel off and stymied loads of progress (Manchin, Sinema etc).
We need enough room for the wolves in sheep's clothing to not make a (D)ifference in the progress we need to shut down authoritarianism.
The supreme court being public enemy #1 means we need everything else to be operating seamlessly to be able to prevent every single goal for project 2025 line by line immediately and permanently.
Undoing regulatory capture will also be a monumental feat, as will reforming media's ability to platform lies and disinformation that are objectively false.
Huge fucking task list and we haven't even talked about running the actual country yet. We're gonna need one hell of a blue wave to drown the fascists and drain the swamp.
Americans actually do shoot quite well, but the rules around gun handling are incredibly strict for Olympic shooting.
Things like minor celebrations, emotion, or even the cadence of your walk while leaving the range can cause disqualification.
Since American shooters can't hit a bullseye without shotgunning a beer and magdumping into the sky as eagles carry exploding fireworks in celebration, they often do not place in Olympic shooting
Next time axe the executives and keep the staff.
Most executives I've met can't read emails and just point to one of two numbers and say "higher/lower!" while dreaming of KPI's that don't improve anything and solely exist to stagnate wages
This isn't aimed at the idiots who would line up around the block and work for free to be called high IQ by Musk. Doesn't really matter though, it's all performative
They already know exactly what they want to cut, and billionaires don't need a salary to realize profits from deregulation.
The job being "no salary" isn't indicative of how cost effictive a volunteer public servant could be - it is a dinner bell for the wealthy
