No, you're correct. But when the nation let's the child molester run free (actually; makes them president, again), why in the flying fuck should they care.
I direct you to the wonderful episode of where there are enough 'sane' people to keep technology alive while the species burns itself down for some insane reason....I hate being correct, I hate being prescient, I hate human nature for it cannot be legislated.
US is beyond legislation. The law does not matter anymore. Nothing can save US but the actual patriots of America. At any cost. It will be a tough decision to make but, as a devout lover of democracy, I wish there are enough patriots who understand the position US is in. As of now, it does not seem that is the case but, as an outsider looking in, I truly hope I am wrong.
Those who abandon democracy for the sake of expediency are the enemies of democracy.
The People of the United States will come to the correct decision, after exhausting all others...because it is fair.
Agree. And what have we seen so many times before in autocracies and dictatorships and now, every day, in America? That without democracy; there is no guarantee that you will be able to wake up with your family from one day to the other. That is what's at stake, here. I believe it was Stephen Miller (correct me if I'm wrong) that said their "conservative revolution will be bloodless, if the left allows it to". I interpret that as, well, literally. I do not want US to have a second civil war, I want you to put an end to this asap, by any means necessary, because for every day they get to continue; is a day more of complete victory. You're not in a state of kids play, US. This is utterly serious.
Stop trying to foment a civil war
Shut the fuck up.
Classy.
Meeting you where you are, friendo.
It doesn't have to be a civil war. Unless the brain dead MAGA crowd sides with the obscenely rich, a couple of hangings would do.
Either way, if you think a few lemmy comments will turn the tide then it's already too late.
It's already underway, but only one side is committing violence.
“The nation” doesn’t. Republicans do
Are republicans no longer part of the nation of the US? If not; they're illegal. Republicans, if anyone, knows what to do with illegal aliens.
Given the fact the US is hardly a united cultural entity id hardly say anyone is part of an American nation. It'd be like calling the Holy Roman Empire a nation, sure the Germans were all vaguely culturally aligned but a Frisian and a Swissman barely had anything in common.
"the nation let us the" seems odd, here.
The nation let's
is what my phone "corrected"
The nation lets
to.
Probably theirs did also.
