    Seriously - how is it that the American people are being railroaded into autocracy by such a cringey, pathetic bunch of simps and losers?

      honest answer: a 45 year project to delegitimize the media by routinely calling them “liberal”, so much so that the major media reflexively frames every issue with a pro republican bias, goes soft on republicans in interviews, harder on democrats that was sped up with the introduction of fox news in 1998 and their “fair and balanced” tagline even though they were blatantly pro republican.

      now you throw in all of these conservative propaganda online media distribution networks and actual true believers who bought into the “democrats are traitors and the enemy who deserve to be shot” rhetoric started by newton leroy gingrich and sprayed across the country by rush limbaugh having prominent positions in elected office and this is how you devolve into a despotic idiocracy run by a weak autocrat calling himself strong and protected by the truly evil people who are actually running things.

      tldr the conservatives scared the media into being pro gop just so they wouldn’t be labeled as liberal even though conservatives call them liberal anyway.

        All correct, but I think Faux started in 1996.

        Also, Ronnie Raygun’s admin paving the way for the likes of Rush and his many imitators on hate radio played a large role…

      The internet has become the dominant media. And it didn’t create a free and open information landscape where the best ideas rise to the surface. Instead it started an information war, and the right wing is winning. Mostly because they can blatantly flood it with bullshit.

      First Past The Post voting has limited the competition in our elections, making both mainstream political parties incredibly soft and filled with weak individuals. This is why the republicans were so easily bought by Russia, and why the democrats couldn’t find a way to beat a circus full of clowns.

        Are you saying from the perspective of Trump voters or republican leaders? I think the goals between them are quite different.

        Leaders always have different incentives and therefore goals from their followers and the American people really need to wake up to this fact.

        It was about throwing as much crazy shit at the public as possible. And then, while everyone’s distracted, stealing or selling everything that isn’t nailed down.

      The qons are getting a new update, since they are reprogrammable meatbags.

      They are now to believe that high prices are DoubleplusGood ™ because they are paying to get rid of brown people, smash trans, and put anyone woke into reeducation camps.

      Might think is an irony, but it’s intentional: that area is supposed to be sacred to the locals. This ongoing violation is just colonialism and genocide 2025.

      Blowing it up will certainly be an epic symbol of the end of his despotic reign one day, like the footage of statues of dictators being pulled down.

    Ok then. Sure, fucking why not, of course.

    I mean, fucking whatever. Mt Rushmore sucks, I’ve been there. It insults the natural scenery by being a shitty half finished project on what was originally a beautiful mountain. Adding Trump to it would make it an even better metaphor for the US government, especially when he stops paying developers halfway through and we end up with a partially finished version of his face

      Not just a beautiful mountain, but a sacred mountain that was intentionally defaced because it was sacred.

      Trump’s ego would never allow it to stay half-finished. It’s just our tax dollars that would actually pay for it.

    So basically they introduced a bill to create a public bathroom on the top of Mt Rushmore.

    Can we get someone like Ted Lieu to point out that a geological survey done shows the mountain would be in danger of collapse if any more carving is done to it, but instead we could put him on, say Stone Mountain in Georgia? You know, with the rest of the traitors?

    The bill is unlikely to receive the bipartisan support needed to pass Congress.
