    Dude, your “canary” is decomposing at the bottom of a gas-flooded mine. That ship sailed months ago.

    Right? We’ve had a flock of canaries go in and never come out. Let’s be frank it’s been a long time coming:

    • Kimmel
    • Noem v Vasquez Perdomo
    • DC
    • Colbert
    • PBS
    • NPR
    • Roe
    • Affirmative action
    • Net neutrality
    • Citizens United
    • The Patriot Act

    At some point we gotta stop thinking they will ever come out.

      The country relies on cars for everything. If you block some roads, you can halt the whole economy.

        well I am not American so my actions are not the same as yours…

        In Spanish they have this saying “cada ladron juzga por su condicion”… which applies here. It basically means “a thief thinks everyone else is also thieving”… it says a lot more about you that your default assumption is that I do nothing even if I am calling for action

        I didnt actually write or say that you do nothing. I asked you what actions you think would work.

        Its because I have pretty much thought about all of this before. No action that I can come up with will lead to any change. But maybe you have better ideas.

            People cant do anything. What actions will change things?

            Well Charlie Kirk has been awfully quiet and not bussing around insurrectionists to the Capitol recently. Wonder what happened there?

            It didnt create meaningful change. A person was killed. The opinions of his fans are only stronger now. So what did it accomplish, really.

            Also, the moment people split into two sides and wont listen to eachother, and starts fighting eachother, you have the setup needed for much more meaningless violence. This is where America is now. Because you have been manipulated into it.

            You can watch this video that actually explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azE7nqqQMmo

            Please actually watch it. This is 100% what is happening.

              The time to do something was back a few decades ago… back in November there was a good chance to buy some time… now it’s all uphill but it will only get harder the more you guys keep on “waiting for it”

              There’s no waiting going on tbh. This is like a group project in college, there is no intent to do anything but hope others will resolve things for you.

                To be fair, even fucking Margorine Tator Tot Green is pissed about him hiding the Epstein files. I think you underestimate how badly core MAGA want it released. It really could be the thing that takes all this down.

                    ^ this is the epitome of the “fuck you, got mine” mentality… you seem to think you have an out so every body else can go fuck themselves… you are not even going to try to spare most of the worst of it, you are happy to let everyone suffer because you think you have an out

                    Good luck EU if this is what they are getting from the USA

                      What a strange mix of RPG tropes. I get what you meant but that’s like when you see “hacking” on tv.

                      I’ll be honest. I never played DND and only know it from memes. I was trying to make a funny. 😔

                      Edit: the rpg part probably stems from Baldur Gate 3. 🤷‍♂️

                              Heh, that would’ve been my guess. Nothing to be embarrassed about! Your joke worked. It was just weird to see all those concepts put together in a way they wouldn’t go in an actual game. (DND doesn’t have action points, for starters)

                                  Yeap… but nobody is coming to save anyone

                                  And here is the problem… nothing that Trump is doing could possibly end in a better situation for the USA, so when the shit hits the fan and the inevitable depression hits, the USA will do the only thing it knows how to do (specially under Conservatives): they will blame some other country and go to war with it and this time, hitting Yemen won’t do it

                                  Right now I am basically only hoping WWIII is not fought with nukes… that’s my best 10 year scenario

                                    I didnt actually write or say that you do nothing. I asked you what actions you think would work.

                                    Its because I have pretty much thought about all of this before. No action that I can come up with will lead to any change. But maybe you have better ideas.

                                          He’s definitely also weak, he flip flops on every move. They would be further along if they weren’t handcuffed to a senile narcissist with one foot in the grave. OTOH they have only gotten this far riding his cult of personality, once he kicks it I have a feeling the whole party will collapse into infighting and not get anything done.
