Donald is merely the next logical step in the rot of America. He's not doing anything that previous presidents haven't done. He's just not making excuses or trying to generate PR cover for it. The only innovation here is presentation and carelessness.

That people think any of this is new demonstrates just how little people know of their own history in this country.

Joe Biden and his predecessors enthusiastically supported genocide in Gaza by guaranteeing the regular delivery of WMD's. Obama dropped 20,000 tons of bombs just in the last year of his presidency, and was making war in 7 countries simultaneously. (Probably more, 7 is just the number we can confirm.) Bush legalized torture, warrantless wiretapping and tracking (specifically targeting religious minorities), ushered in the era of daily school shootings, and normalized bailouts for his golf buddies on Wall Street. Clinton hollowed out the poor and middle class with his trade policies, cut the social safety net wholesale, made it legal to discriminate against gays, and was fucking interns on the Resolute Desk. Reagan did pretty much any evil thing you can imagine, whether arms dealing with America's enemies or letting AIDS ravage a whole generation of young men for Jesus.

Guys, we elect motherfuckers. It's what we do. The problem here is that every successive president has made things worse and consolidated more and more power in the Executive Branch, to the detriment of all but the 1%, and they basically never roll back the negative policies of their predecessors, instead doubling-down on them or ignoring and allowing them to be normalized.

Twice we almost had real change, with Sanders and Perot, but we were too stupid to vote for it (in Perot's case) and the Dems rigged the primaries (in Sanders' case) and now it's institutionally impossible to get anyone with any intention of changing things fundamentally into the Oval Office.

Elect him once, shame on him. elect him twice, shame on them.

Fascism is capitalism in decay. The neoliberals in the democratic establishment and their presidential failures share at least 50% of the blame. But it's the same all over the west, Europe is not that far behind.

Trump could only be successful as he is and safe with a country like the USA existing. Allowing generational wealth, backroom dealings, stiffing contractors, and just being a menace to society at large. This is before you consider all the truly heinous stuff.

It's exactly what Bernie the Rat tries to do when covering for the genocider state.
Invariably he talks about 'the Netanyahu government', when that goes away they will be the perfect democracy again.

Why not both?

Viva la revolución ✊🏼🇦🇱

Man Im so tired of all the little labels we’re putting on people and belief. I swear I didnt know leftist vs. liberal were a thing. I thought they were one and the same. Like liberal exists inside the leftist sphere.

But I do think the system overall of profits above all is rotting. I saw a documentary of small impoverished towns residing all over the United States. Elderly and children hungry. Parents living with only one meal per day.

Its wild too that people have to file so much paperwork to even get food assistance. And if the state is too slow to process your paperwork before deadlines because they are understaffed, you just lose your benefits.

Richest country in the world with elites letting land and people to rot in the shadows. It feels nauseating seeing it at this level.

If there is a God, he just needs to smite already. Im tired of this inhumane system.

Hot take alert

So they're both wrong?
