How many warnings til something is actually done about this?
Gonna take voters in 2026.
I am hesitant to believe that we can vote out these problems at this point.
The Republicans will lose power, leave some time bombs that tank the economy once a Democrat takes over, leading to stagnation and increasing wealth inequality, then people will alllow another Republican to win out of apathy because nothing got better under the Democratic leadership.
At least that's what's been happening for the last 50 or so years.
That time bomb has already been planted. Some of the "Big Beautiful Bill"'s worst provisions, the ones that royally fuck over their own constituents, were specifically set to not kick in until after midterms. If Democrats sweep the elections, expect them to be blamed for the sudden implosion of the economy.
Yeah, I think the last 20 years have just been a vicious cycle that has only gotten worse and worse.
The bullshit started a long time ago, but I think bush/gore in 2000, and bush’s subsequent presidency really kicked it into gear.
As all things that are shit, I think Reagan is to blame.
So very true. Murdoch and Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh continued the damage in the 90s, as well.
I always think the Clinton impeachment was where things went wrong, but that’s just cause I was starting to pay attention then. It sees like all the people surrounding Reagan were awful, and they never went away.
We can blame more than one person
If people could see more than 20min into the past things might get done, but unfortunately…
I would agree with you, but when Dems have power, they choose not to undo the policies Republicans put in place.
After repeated instances of the educated DNC being impotent or even harmful with their policy I have no choice but to believe that their internationally behaving this way.
These people aren't stupid, they have better education and access to information than most people. At some point we have to start judging them by their actions instead of their stated intent.
No but they’d have not let Biden win the primary in 2015. They’d stop voting for centrist governments all over the world, even, because they’d be tires of that shit and “change” wouldn’t be rushing to the conservatives because they’d also remember how bad that was.
Returns Null. There is no amount. Reason and evidence no longer guides the white house. The magnitude of that incompetence across departments will unfold in the years to come and we won't learn of it unless they are no longer in power.
Years of BS, if ever.
Organize. Now.
edit: more likely people are already doing it, so search for it, join forces and resources. And btw, the reality will probably be much less rugged than some imagine.
Everyone is waiting on someone else to do something.
Yep. Americans are pants-pissing cowards waiting for someone else to come save them.
“I might LoSe mY jOb that I hate and underpays me!”
“What do you expect me to DO (short of risking discomfort)???”
“You’re just a Canadian ‘keyboard warrior,’ how dare you comment on something you’ve been warning us would happen for decades?”
They either support this shit directly, or give their tacit approval by sitting on their asses every day.
Don't listen to these academic elites who actually know things. They just want us to feel stupid for being ignorant.
No I'm doesn't
Yesn’t
77% of muricans: "heh, they said doodie"
I'm not sure everyone understands the definition of 'warn', but it's not an after-the-fact type deal. I feel like these guys should have a better handle on our language than me.
"it's going to get worse" is also a warning
Thanks for warning us hostages!
To the hostage: I must warn you not to go down that dark alley you were already kidnapped from.
