Trump facing consequences for anything? I'll believe it when I see it
I have seen this shit so many times the last 10 years.
"this insert illigal shit will finally be the end of Trump!"
It doesn't fucking happen. He is immune because every single politician is complicit and wants him to be immune. Because to them, it's far better than giving the people any sort of power.
He'd rather issue an order making pedophilia legal than admit that he raped little girls. Which he did.
I think you're exactly right.
A few years ago, we saw a huge amount of mobilization for George Floyd. People fighting cops and winning.
After that, we saw a submarine full of billionaires implode & people cheered.
Recently, a health insurance CEO was shot to death in the street, and people rallied around the shooter as a hero.
Trump has been a uniquely effective vehicle for the ownership class to launch bullshit distractions at a population of Americans who are showing signs of class consciousness. Keep 40 or 50% of people mad at trans people and immigrants and DEI, and the rest busy trying to minimize the damage being done. Motherfucker said Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs in a presidential debate, and people somehow still take him seriously.
But he's not long for this world. Dennis Prager has all the charisma of a bad case of trench foot. Rupert Murdoch is ancient, we're already down a Koch brother, everything Elon Musk touches turns to shit, and I'm crossing my fingers that all the HGH gives Peter Thiel a heart attack.
The ownership class has got to make hay while the sun shines. Things are primed to turn around on them quickly.
You forget that Vance is up next if Trump goes, and despite having the charisma of a tub of melted icecream, he's got a whole panoply of yes-men who want nothing more than to see Vance's version of a white, Christian America come true.
You’re forgetting the part where the American people are far too cowardly/comfortable/lazy to do anything.
Fuck that defeatist bullshit!
Of the top 10 largest protests in US history, two have happened this year, and they were both largely in response to Trump.
Movements are being built, organization is happening, people are pissed. Excuse us for not jumping straight to violence without a plan like the J6ers.
God. The "Americans Bad" circlejerk on Lemmy is so lame.
I see a major difference in politicians. One party impeached him. The other party protects him.
You haven’t seen that?
Might, could, possibly, etc. never gonna happen
Trump rapes children.
Why would there be Consequences? Epstein was an AMERICAN Hero!
-Republicans LITERALLY!
