If I were a narcissist like Trump then I would love to be the President: I could set up all my family and friends with 7 figure jobs, I'd buy a hotel and then force the SS to rent out the entire building at 10x the normal rates, I could spend most of my time golfing, I could chat with my buddy Putin on the phone every day, etc.
Are there shitty parts to the job? Sure, but is it better than being a powerless wage slave to a soulless corporation? Absolutely yes.
Starting wars with allied nations (China) just because they have a semi-socialist economy seems fairly fascist to me.
Youtube is privately owned by the capital class. Why would capitalist owned media companies stop boosting capitalist, right-wing propaganda?
Another point is that the more money the government spends on people the less it will have to spend on Israel's genocide or the Military Indistral Complex in general. If the state is to be used as a tool for fascism then starving the state becomes a way of resisting evil.
The Heritage Foundation also wrote something like 80% of the policies that were passed under Reagan. I wish journalists would talk about that more. Think tanks for the 1% shouldn't be writing our laws
Not enough. As long as massive wealth disparities exist, as long as billionaires exist, they will always find a way to use their wealth to ratchet the country further and further to the right
Blame capitalism. Capitalism creates massive wealth disparity and since you can't detangle wealth from political power, it creates massive power disparities. Those power disparities are used by the rich to slowly ratchet the government and society further and further to the right.
The idea that democrats would abandon their base and try to flip republicans was idiotic beyond belief.
It is what the capital class ordered her to do. We will never get politicians who fight for us until we ban Super pacs, paid lobbying, and all the other ways that the 1% bribe and manipulate our politicians
The capital class. Kamala was up 10% with Tim Walz and their progressive platform, but then lobbyists and donors demanded that she adopt a more moderate platform. No one knows for sure what they said to her, but she immediately did a 180 and ran as a moderate Republican.
This country simply wanted a rapist, a criminal, they wanted a man who praises dictators
Voter participation was around 50% and some 12 million fewer people came out to vote this election. Both parties lost millions of voters, but Democrats lost more because they sold out to the donor class.
Americans don't like Trump, they have just lost faith in our broken two party system.
Conservative / fascist leaders deserve it, the rest of us do not. The kids who were too young to vote, the leftists who fight against fascism, and the workers who don't have the time to follow politics do not deserve any of what is to come.
Modern Liberals support market economies,
Only partly true. Liberals support capitalist markets, but not worker owned markets (worker co-ops, market socialism.)
everyone left of center demanded change.
I think you mean "everyone left of FASCISM" because liberals are center-right at best. Center left is Social Democracy (Bernie Sanders and AOC)
Lmao, for real though, FDR was the last President that prioritized the working class over the capital class. And in turn capitalists tried to overthrow the government or have him killed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot
It was the stupidest of ideas. Republicans were never going to vote for her in any numbers
It is what the donor (capital) class wanted. Liberals are capitalists which means they serve the capital class first and foremost.
We have a two party system which is inherently hyper polarizing as it paints everything as being black and white. It is an unbelievably stupid and undemocratic system, and unfortunately, nothing will ever improve until we replace our broken two party system with a modern multiparty democracy
Please don't. Not that they don't deserve it, but you might get shot or arrested.
A better option would be to buy those fake tickets and leave it under their wiper so they panic for a second thinking they got a ticket. Or get some rude stickers and slap them on their car.
Either sound great to me. Co-ops are market socialism which is better than capitalism in every way
