He has altered in a most negative way the identity of America and its citizens and we have no safeguards to protect us against him. What a sad end to Americna democracy.

It is very sad indeed. There really are no more guardrails.
We have safrguards. Unfortunately, GOP-controlled Congress refuses to implement them.
The Founders were not perfect architects of our Constitution.
We were told that it would be bloodless if we went along with the Project 2025 plan. We The People Outnumber Them And that’s what we use for protection. It says so in our Constitution The people lost their rights and liberty when they decided to become peasants and peons to the government
My entire life Ive heard about the wonders of Murican "democracy" and its fabled "checks and balances" 😂
It really is not over yet. The country has always had a hard time living up to its ideals. This is an especially big challenge, but we might turn out stronger if--when--we come through it.
Yes, and fix The Founders flaws. Impeachment doesn’t work. The Electoral College is archaic and dangerous.
Hear hear
Impeachment works fine We just have to choose leaders willing to do their Constitutional Duty
The way they’re operating ICE, it’s like Trump is secretly hoping they get involved in a major shootout so he can give one of his “American carnage” speeches and direct the military to have the tanks and Apache choppers laying siege to our cities.
He’s exposed several things - democracy is less than fragile - democracy may not even really exist as a true concept - the US is full of fascists - the US really doesn’t stand for anything - evangelicals are fake Christians The experiment failed When you’re a star you can do WHATEVER you want
And democrats are controlled opposition who's job is to be a seat warmer for the fascists that better serve capitalists All of societies problems exist because some parasitic bludgercunts own everything and steal our lives for their profits Capitalism is designed to function this way
US has never changed. While minorities are oppressed, we were never great. Hoping this is the last dying gasp of old white evangelical men telling us how to live our lives. 🤞
He did get a nice photo of Putin, suitable for framing and mounting on the Oval Office wall.
The forefathers called it the American experiment. They knew it was fragile. Democracy is hard work. You’ve got to love it. 🇺🇸 is not filled w/fascists. It is filled w/hateful people that had it ⛽️ by a megalomaniac rapist pedophile fraudster. True on evangelicals.
“You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for everything.” The fake christians have fallen for a fascist. His existence has been a constitutional crisis since 2011. It’s time to end the experiment. Call it at 249 years.

The US does stand for one thing: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ More than any nation ever to exist on Earth at the expense of everything else with zero remorse.
"I have yet begun to fight'
Our entire society is built upon systemic violence. Now it's overt.
Since age 5, I have studied the philosophies underlying the Revolution and the Constitution. It is my life's work. 50+ years. And I agree with you.
Democracy is only as fragile as the average citizens operating it. Democracy didn't fail. The average citizens operating it failed. Generations of average citizens before us kept it going and agitated violently against, even overcame in some ways, our demons. We are the difference. WE, not IT.
He's planning on inviting Putin here to watch FIFA. That ought to tell every American what he is about.
Many “Americans “ will cheer. 😠
🤐Those in the billionaires club.
O it’ll be the incels & misogynists - Those who ADORE a ‘strong man’ who has no issue sending their military to look tuff. All those who claimed 2A to fight oppression? Now LOVE fascism
☝🏻💯
What you’re seeing is a vast number of White Americans happy to give up democracy if it means they get to stay in power.
Pew research study says 35-40% prefer authoritarian rule (as long as it’s white supremacist rule)
Caveat ... as long as it's white supremacists in charge.. but do they really think that a fascist regime will allow them to keep their weapons / arsenals? Step 1- We are conducting a review of firearms owned in this area.. for public safety Step 2- We reviewed your social media & found issues 1/2
2/ DHS interview of gun owner- we found your posts against display of the nazi flag & you are a member of the LDS 'cult' .. "But I am a United States Senator! I am Sen Lee of Utah & I support trump!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRwx...
That’s why they all must learn that if you think you’re gonna stay in power indefinitely without elections your days will be numbered and we the people all have to unite and see this to be a self fulfilling prophecy!
Please don't generalized about "white America" this is an issue of class. We need to be united, to work together for all people
White America was too afraid to ask if they had sufficient merit to retain power. So 77 million Americans decided no one else should have any say in the matter. It will take another civil war to reverse that decision.

I wish you were wrong, but we seem to be heading there quickly.
Don’t let these people pull you down. Elections are every 4yrs, just vote for someone else next time.
Fascists don't do democracy.
No one is a fascist. Liberals are much closer to Nazi than a conservative is to fascist if we must throw labels onto others.
I wish it weren't so as well. It breaks my heart, and I am just hoping that America's long history of defeating tyranny wins the day once more. You kicked out the British monarchy, you beat the Confederates, and you beat the Nazis. Those are pretty good stats to suggest you can do it again.
Good pep talk!
A complete anachronistic opinion. They only beat the British Monarchy because the Brits had more important enemies in Europe. The Confederacy was beaten militarily but was let to live politically and socially and the US sold goods and supplies to the Nazis until 1941.
The Confederates weren’t actually defeated though, were they? Sure, militarily they sucked ass…but politically, socially, economically, here they still are - having *never* stopped or gone away - very much having the last laugh. Magats are evil, but they are also the true face of the US.
That’s a horrifying thought.
The Electoral College was a gift to the slave owning states - to give them artificially more power. And here we are. Who would have guessed it. Kicking the can down the road was a bad idea.
So it's not capitalism working only for the capitalist class like it is designed to? it's not symptoms of systemically incentivising and greatly rewarding obscene greed and disregard for life?
Oh it is those things. But that was not what I was talking about?
Those assholes were never punished because they had a southern white supremacist in the White House. They were given amnesty and permission to do whatever TF they want.
Well, you know what jobs to complete next time around.
When someone takes a deliberate sloppy dump on your dining table, you don’t give it a one-pass sweep with a coarse brush and invite them back next week. No. You wipe the table with their face, use their card to buy a new one, and superglue their anus shut. And ban them, permanently.
Thnx for the vote of confidence I hope you’re right,
Out here promoting violence. We have elections every 4yrs for President. We will just elect a different one in 2028.
Also the fact you think waiting out the 4 years is avoiding the *violence* - its happening all around - clearly not to you and yours.
This violence you speak of, give examples please. I feel like you are referring to crack down on those the previous administration allowed to invade our borders who are now being held accountable. The choice is theirs. They know they broke the law l, just leave
Like are you actually joking. You want me to give you examples of violence when people are being ripped from their cars, work places and families. People with work visas, granted permission to stay while they are getting their papers, being taken from outside courtrooms while doing the right thing.
He's literally showing other world leaders his Trump 28 hats 👀
Subtle as a sledge hammer.
He understands he cannot run again but he also understands how to live in a liberals head for free.
You haven't been paying attention if you think he's going to give it up without a fight- he's building a fucking ballroom - You think that's for the next president?
Hate to be a bummer but they needed the French to beat the British, the rest of the allies to beat the Nazis - and don't forget its the actually American government that are the tyrants!
On the plus side, you are going to need allies for this one too, and conveniently, MAGA have shit all over every allegiance America has ever relied on so no back up plans for them. Also they may have underestimated the value of soldiers that swore allegiance to the constitution, not Dear leader.
I hope so. Plenty of them going along with it - and plenty of the armed forces are white nationals. Pair that with the firings of DEI hires, Im not sure there'll be many of them making a stand. BUT I hope Im wrong.
The risk to them speaking up is high…
Defeating tyranny? We are the tyrants. I hate what’s happening, called since 2016, but the facade of American exceptionalism needs to be burnt down. Had Kamala won we would still be bombing Gaza and defending genocidal Israel. We wouldn’t have UH or UBI. Idk what the fix is, but damn. Hate it here
The native americas rally undermine the Idea that AMericas saved people from Tyrany, Hitler called how the US treated the natives a genocide, he said Getting rid of Gypises and Jews from Germany is not any different then what america did to the natives and he was right
💯 Chattle slavery also and it’s continued effects. The US is the bad place and has indoctrinated the populace to see everything with rose colored glasses. It needs to fall and be rebuilt with something better. Dems will just uphold the status quo, that’s been proven.
You think a country that “falls” is a good thing, just fun and games? It’s war in the streets, killing, anarchy. Grow up.
The current use of Prisoners as slave labour, I do not care what your policy or world view is if you think america is this perfect idea you don't understand anything about it
Trump isn't inciting a civil war. He is conducting a coup. Civil war is just the outcome of enough people saying that too many red lines have been crossed and that the land of the free will be fought for by the brave who still call America home.
Civil War is a great movie. Terrifyingly, now becoming a documentary.
I think civil war is inevitable at this point.
Keep focus on the goal that when the war finally begins, cut off the head of the snake to defeat it.
There's a vast number of White Americans just as pissed off about this shit as the rest of AMERICANS are too!!
I don't get it. I love my not-white neighbors. I always learn new things and perspectives from them. Best thing is sharing recipes.
I’ve always said…best way to bring people of different cultures together is to sit down and share dishes from their homelands.
Agreed! That was what Anthony Bourdain was all about.
He is dearly missed.
He totally grabbed America by the pussy and 70+million Americans just let him do it!
And Putin laughs, his ultimate goal to break up the "United" states is going along swimmingly thanks to Republicans that kinda want the same thing
Very MUCH kinda want the same thing!! We the People submit or we all will be labeled enemies of the State We will wake up AFTER it’s too late Maybe when a mocha latte is ..$9-11 only then? Maybe WS needs to crash again at a Repub failed oversight .. Nah Just gotta own the libs & all is OK
Well, you have your 250 million selves (all minus MAGA). But 99,99999% of you prefer to sit on the couch and complain online. That won't stop it.
What a sad end to all of us.
No, no, no. Too much doom-mongering, everybody. Don't mourn, organize.
