"and opposition from Senator Joe Manchin"

The most repeated phrase ever. At least that piece of shit will be gone, but now an actual Republican took his place.

"Pentagon officials discuss what to do if Trump were to attempt to deploy the military domestically, CNN reports"

"After CNN reports, the Trump administration discusses how to replace all Pentagon officials, CNN reports."

I don't see why they wouldn't. They'll say "we" went after a sitting president with impeachment so they'll go after anyone and everyone with the fascist cheerleaders on Fox pushing for the death penalty (which they're already doing).

And just watch the neck breaking speed the Republicans rush through their political persecution cases. I expect to see Democrats in prison by the end of the first or second year.

I think they might be referring to Cubans?

This is exactly what has me so horrified. Hitler was stopped as was Mussolini.

There's no one strong enough to stop America and with our geographic and strategic locations we're practically invincible. :(

Don't forget the judges like Cannon they plan on installing now that they have full control of the Senate. Those people never go away. Any future government will have any attempt to make change shot down by rubber stamp judges.

The billionaire class won.

If you are in the US, you have the following choices: leave, survive (read: assimilate or hide), or fight.

If you're wealthy and worth a shit you can leave. No country on earth worth moving to will accept my worthless factory worker ass...

I just watched a video about "easiest countries for an American to move to" and was infuriated... I was expecting countries with low standards for acceptance except this is all it was:

1)digital nomad and retirees

2)digital nomad and retirees

3)digital nomad and retirees

4)digital nomad and retirees

5)digital nomad and retirees

...for fucks sake those people already have the world to choose from... Guess I'll just suffer.

 

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
