The United States is imploding. The reign of Donald Trump is not only challenging and threatening the very foundations of its constitutional democracy, it
In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.
fr tho - in one of the richest countries in the World, why should it need to get that bad before people start wanting something better? Not just for themselves, but for every American: coworker, neighbor, friend, family. Why should we (or a majority of Americans) just get the bare minimum on the standard of living and just accept that as normal?
When are we going to start recognizing Action, Causation, and Consequences over lip service? America has ~400 Billionaires.
because when you’re talking about mass heuristics like “the united states is falling apart” it definitionally, should be falling apart when you say that.
When people are saying that “the US is fascist” there better be some fascist government shit ACTIVELY going on when that statement was made, right now, we’re definitely closer to fascism, than we are to not fascism, but it’s hard to say until some shit actually happens unfortunately.
the most correct way to define this is that “The US is in deep political turmoil”

TL;DR because otherwise you’re lying, and i expect factual accuracy from people who hate disinformation and misinformation. There are problems to talk about, but we are hardly “falling apart at the seams” currently, more so, there are several loose threads, and if something isn’t done about it, it will probably fall apart at the seams eventually, given enough thrashing.

Hard disagree. That downplays the importance of the issues at hand, at the time, whatever they may be. If it’s “mass hysteria” as you claim, maybe it’s something important that should have some attention brought to it , and discussion, at looked at with an open, but objective mindset. Discussion at minimum.

It’s both.

My man, a downfall is a fall. Let me explain.
What’s happening in the U.S. is an important moment. A Multi-Billionaire was seen addressing The Nation through the States allowed Media literally behind the Oval Office Desk. This has never happened and really shows the intense influence money in politics has, for better or worse. Multiple factors has led the U.S. in a deficit (debt) of close to 2 Trillion. Instead of raising taxes on the Billionaires (~400 Americans), 4 of whom sat Presidents inauguration were worth north of 900 Billion. One of whom has had direct access to the American National Treasury without Congressional Approval or Independent Oversight. Federal employees are being cut. Eyes on Federal Programs that help the most low-income and vulnerable to be cut next.
This doesn’t even get into the international issues such as Gaza, Ukraine, Elon Musk influencing German politics, the aggressive and unnecessary negotiation tactics with our neighbors and long-time allies. It’s a long list of anti-teamwork, anti-peaseant, and quite frankly unAmerican actions that The United States haven’t seen at this extent in arguably 50+ years, over half of many of our lives.
In short, if you’re a fan of the ideas of Democracy and ensuring working people are taken care of, and you’re living in the American Democracy, then this is an important timespan.

“trump just killed the investigation into himself” THE US IS LITERALLY GOING TO FALL APART AT ITS SEAMS ANY FUCKING MOMENT NOW!!!
