It’s not alarmist: A second Trump term really is an extinction-level threat to democracy
www.vox.com
Why a second Trump term is a mortal threat to democracy — though perhaps not in the way you think.

This article was posted shortly before the election but everything in there is still true and seeing his appointees perhaps worse than predicted.

    Y’all don’t need any tariffs to make your electronics prices inflated beyond insanity, your backwards ass government already did it lmao.

    Get fucking rekt. Like an Aussie has any right to say they’re better than the USA. Go find a Norwegian and you got a deal.

      Just took that. Guess if it is from Australia or Scandinavia?

      “Get rekt.”

        Yeah, that invalidates your shit government, 🤣

        Get rekt

        Twice. Kek. Hey, insult all you want. I have a no-blocking policy. Mama raised me with a spine.

          Got a bit ashamed by me pointing out your mistake?

          You also can’t see a road. There is some paving, but none that’s broken. That’s two puddles and a patch of snow. So yeah, this isn’t Australia. It’s summer in Australia, and it’s not exactly known for snow in the winter either.

          You proposed a deal. I’m Nordic. Do I have the right to act as if we’re better than the US, as you promised?

          I haven’t attempted to insult you. I apologise for you thinking I did. Idk what you perceived as one?

            We’re so off base at this point, I’m not even sure why you’re arguing with me. Boredom?

            Since we’re really out of material, I’m out. You do you. Maybe we’ll make fun of eachother in another thread down the road,… a better road.

              One “I pointed out your mistake” later and you’re running with your tail tucked.

              Get rekt.

              So, to reiterate, like you promised, I’m allowed to act like my country is better than America?

                  You said something that was incorrect.

                  You might not want to take the L, but it doesn’t matter whether you accept it or not. You’ve still lost.

                    Buddy, there was never a game board, and the other guy made his piece out of poop, then you popped in, I mistook you for him (because you all look the same, not racist). We’ll have a real argument someday, with cursing and lots of mistakes if you stick around, trust me.

      We do have heigher taxes yes. But we also rate heigher on almost all the metrics. Statisticly im smarter than u, more educated than u, heather than u, taller than u, bigger dick than u, will live longer than u, will be happier than you, will be richer than you, have a hotter wife than u, have more sex than u will. Look man not all these are a result of our heigher taxes but it sure as shit helped. And at the end of the day i can become an immigrant and pay my way into ur corrupt system if ever im feeling like im missing out.

        Man, that must have been one wild study…
        You’re not wrong (well except about most of the actual things you asserted) but while retreating to some zany upside-down nationalism to defend your precariously teetering democracy might preserve your sense of superiority over the US, it’s pretty clearly blinding you to the realities of the situation you’re living in.
