Culture!?! I forgot that was a thing I could do with my time.

You can vote online if you're overseas. I know because I did it like a decade ago while sitting in a Madrid airport lounge, having only just discovered that an election was happening. It was a local council one though.

They're not "abdicating" their function. They're rubber-stamping the fascist dictatorship.

They are the authoritarians. This is exactly what they've wanted all along.

A slower, more politically palatable, genocide.

The list of undesirables is unquenchable.

I called it a month or two ago. Elon/DOGEs role was to establish the American nazi parties own Gestapo, as the existing intelligence community couldn't be instantly bent to the will of the fuhrer and project 2025.

Elon has completed the task of harvesting all government data, and the nazi party will now use it the same way they have been using social media, and all other surveillance capitalism, data; to wage psychological warfare, as well as building lists of enemies and undesirables. For now, ICE is performing the function of the SS.

It's only like 1/4th-1/10th Zucks wealth. When you're a billionaire the rules are made up and the points don't matter. They'll be fine.

Because we live in corporate dictatorships and fossil fuel corpos made everything car-centric. Now we have to allow the negligent and incompetent to drive or else we'll damage "the economy".

Action is especially hard when you're not even trying.

That sounds like Microsoft bribed the shit out of SK 20 years ago.

But, yeah... Elect monkeys, get circus.

Conservatives have accelerated spending and debt consistently for the last 5 decades. Anyone who thought this time would be different is mentally ill.

Considering that the US is a fascist dictatorship now, pigboy is a fascist, and r/conservative gets boosted to the front page, it's likely a non trivial number of mods and admins are paid intelligence operatives acting on behalf of Russia, fascists/conservatives, and corporate lobbyists.
