Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Its hard to call it a prediction when he literally just said it himself
When the trash humans are saying they will do this and that. When they publish it. Its not a prediction.
His "Mein Kampf"
I wait for putin, trump and all geriatric rulers to die already
Is Vance any better?
For couch makers and furniture retailers, yes!
He at least doesn't have a cult following
King Trump II
I mean theoretically, Vance doesn't need a cult, just more electoral college votes than Dems. Which, dems have done an amazing job for the last decade destroying any chance of that.
But he's vile, and not a blabbering moron
It said he'd shit his pants on live TV in the oval office?
Pg 32, ¶2, §3 "Fard n shid pant XDD"
Predicted...openly by Trump.
Or how to smuggle US politics into literally any community.
A republic, if you can keep it
The people who needed to be convinced think the New York Times is globalist propaganda. If they even noticed the existence of this article they would assume it was a made up smear campaign against Dear Leader.
Also, our media (even the "liberal media") is part of the problem. For example, they did such a terrible job explaining Trump's attempts to steal the 2020 election that to this day even many anti-Trump Americans don't understand how fucked up it was.
The primary blame is on the sociopaths in charge and the troglodytes who voted them in, but there is plenty of guilt to go around.
My folks didn’t even know the fake elector story until Liz Cheney’s book came out. That was Dec 2023
60 Minutes didn’t cover fake electors until Feb 2024.
Like it or not, this is likely on par with the experience of tens of millions of American voters.
Totally agreed, media failed to present the full scope of the conspiracy and did it way too fucking late.
if the average voting american knew how to read they would be very upset!
I worked in news media in the Bush years and I got to see first hand how our national news promoted the lies coming from the Bush administration and helping spearhead support for an Iraq invasion.
The media has been a problem for a long time.

So…. I am going to express my opinion that Trumpism is merely the latest, not so different, expression of American capitalism that has always been this nasty and poisonous. And this includes the raids and round ups currently in the news.
There are some things that changed: the targets and oppressed have changed for some. The messaging has changed.
It’s a fad. This will fade soon enough, and things will still be bad. The good guys will be elected and clean up some of the stuff, but most of what they do will be ineffective. And then the next bad guy will come to power
Who are the "good guys"? The only remotely non-evil person who had a serious bid for president is Sanders, the rest are straight up pieces of shit who bankroll genocides, bomb civilians, and empower their billionaire donors. Even then, Sanders is ineffective, somewhat zionist, and old, and I don't see a viable young replacement even for someone like him.
In the US, the political mainstream isn't "good guys vs bad guys", it's 80% hitler vs 100% hitler.
I feel like there are not any good and effective leaders or movements. At least not nationally
And even Sanders parroted the "they have a right to defend themselves" rhetoric when push came to shove
At least he called himself a thing that we could all then google and find something better to work towards
Stalin was not capitalist. This happens in spite of the economic system.
Baffling
History
History? What does that have to do with a crank inserting a non sequitur?
Based on what toady Mike Johnson and trump have been saying today/yesterday about how the GOP should control elections, I have a lot of worry that there will never be any more "good guys" elected.

Exactly.
What Donald is doing has always occurred. It's just been better hidden, and he doesn't care to hide any of it. The corruption we're seeing now is only new if you've never cracked open a history book.
It was fucking laid out in P2025 and from the mouths of the billionaires
Arrest him. The fuck

How was anyone supposed to know he was gonna do the things he said he wanted to do.
Don't leave out the part where all public school male students would be required to take military aptitude screening...one step shy on universal conscription
tbf, an america politician actually honestly laying out what the intend to do to the public and then carrying out is a massive outlier

In 2024, everything was already laid out for everybody to see clear as day - Trump1.0, MAGA's behavior since 2021, Project 2025...
BTW, in 2016, both Mary Trump and Tony Schwartz predicted Jan 6 21: "If he loses the next election, he won't go willingly."
Ever since Jan 6 21 it's been crystal clear where this goes if he wins again.

And still it's being allowed to happen
Rightoids are unbelievably predictable. Meet one in public and you could guess everything that comes out of their mouth from the very beginning of the conversation
Only actual fucking idiots are unable to realize how predictable rightoids are
