I hope they rip each other apart trying to justify their own ignorance and his madness.

I don't feel bad for anyone that voted for trump. Nothing he is doing is a surprise. So far it has been everything he said he wanted to do. Fucking morons got exactly what they voted for.
Finishing lunch with two friends at a diner in Osage, Dixie Bowman, 88, a retired welder, said she liked what Trump was doing. Her two friends, when asked, said they preferred not to speak of it.
Dixie Bowman: Trump is “a very kind, very generous person”
Eventually one of these rallies will turn into that church scene from Kingsman
I only hope someone is there to play freebird on a boombox
I'd PPV Nana Slap Fight Championships.
Heavens to Betsy!
The US is overdue for balkanization. I think the USA will split some time before 2060.
Not fully, but in practice to benefit from no trade barriers. And it'll be done by 2040.
I think what we'll get is no more singular head of state because the Unitary Executive model is a flawed premise that highlights the fragility of having only one person as the chief executive. It's a poison pill. Suggesting it is to suggest inevitable death of the Republic.
What we'll end up with our scaled up Switzerland. An Executive Council of 5/7/9 regionally elected members, with a rotation of who is the ceremonial head of state for functions. I like 7, with more of the East Coast and Midwest consolidated.
But whew...the constitution will need a major overhaul for that to work.
Unitary executive model is a bullshit right wing theory that ignores the entire basis of how our system was designed.
The problem is that is much worse than bullshit, it's a death sentence.
Imagine believing that the best days of the US are ahead of you...
I'm sure improvements will be made, but the United States is dying, thanks in large part due to the cancer that's rightwing propaganda networks
Honestly, I don't want the United states to be a thing anymore. It is time for the nation to break up, so that people can choose what sort of government they want to live in. In my case, I would like something modeled after European socialism. I am sick of Fascist America dragging down my state with its evil and stupidity.
Uncapping the House would go a long way towards rebalancing.
The problem with that plan is that you get an outwardly fascist neighbor with no guardrails at all. Yes it will burn itself out eventually but before that it's going to be just as much of a problem as when it was states.
Better to fight an enemy that is outside, rather than a foe within. We also don't have sturdy guardrails - just ask federal employees, and the American citizens who have been trafficked to Honduras.
Good luck with that. Honestly.
That about sums it up. There are no obviously good options for the situation, so we are all left to gamble on a guess and a prayer that things work out.
Not sure what you mean by European socialism, but you do NOT want the socialism that was attempted in eastern European countries.
my brother in christ, all western european countries are socialist welfare states with a capitalistic market. Media wants you to believe that, what we have is communism, but socialism is so far off Marxism / Communism, as Turbo-capitalism is off of socialism. Beat the red scare and don't carry on their dumb talking points. Socialism is the way to go
If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal disease. I know what I’m doing before I go out.
The leopard’s are gonna be obese by the summer.
The leopards are already obese. I suspect by summer they'll die by cardiovascular diseases.
Magas can do one thing right, even saving the leopards is too hard for them
"Everyone that disagrees with me is a Democrat"
Not only that, but Democrats by default do not matter and shouldn't be considered at all.
