    It would be too soon, if we got rid of them and these Corpo Dems. We could remove citizens United and few other worthless pieces of legislation. That and stop this fucking election tampering in the name “stopping fraud” fucking clowns making voting a single day during the work week and these Red hatted goons cheer for this shit like the mouth breathing inbred ghouls they are because they hate everyone else is beyond annoying.

      Citizens United wasn’t legislation, it was a Supreme Court decision. The only way to fix it following the current rules is to ask the court again or to change the Constitution. Of course, if you are willing to just ignore laws then you have many options (see current Presidential administration for examples).

    Republicans should be wiped out. Fools, monsters, and traitors. They’ve done incalculable damage to the world and all those who live here.

    Every Republican that dies should be cause for celebration.

      Maybe when the MAGA dorks try to convince us this is short term for long term gain; what they don’t realize is ousting the republican stranglehold on the country is the long term gain.

      Look, I’m pissed too, I want them tf out of power and I want them to face consequences for what they’ve done. But celebrating the death of every Republican is more than a little extreme. The top dogs / those responsible? Sure. But let’s not go calling for the deaths of our countrymen - who are, tbh, blind fools who’ve been brainwashed by propaganda. That doesn’t make them worthy of death. I’d recommend avoiding turning the heat straight to 100 unless you want to watch our country walk an even darker path in coming years. If you’ve convinced yourself that’s the outcome you actually want - of civil war and all the other fucked up shit that tends to come with war - then you’re your own type of blind fool.

    “During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (Russia) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it.”

    We are here: attacking Canada, Greenland, Mexico (damaging our economy & theirs, and clearly our foreign relations) Trump also offered to cut defense spending if Russia does. It’s all very obvious if you’re not in the cult.

    The Republican party deserves to die for allowing Donald Trump to rise to power. The Democrat party deserves to die for being useless to stop them. America needs a whole new fresh start with new parties

        Idk, I’d totally be in favor of ranked voting; with several parties that correspond to music genres where people could identify the party’s values based on vibes. Ex: Acid Polka Party, Nu Delta Blues Party, Hyper Uplifting Metal Party, etc.

      See, they thought they could control him, like they did Reagan, and Bush Jr. Bush Sr. went along willingly.

      But Trump is an overgrown 5 year old, and needs to feel he’s in charge. Like any typical narcissist.

          No fuck yes. Blame them.

          Are you saying that trump won because his policy and campaign was stellar.

          Trump won because his base acted instead of passively watching. They took over everything and all the left could say was “don’t roll with them something something pigs”

              I don’t understand what you could possibly mean by this comment. We, as in the American electorate, directly chose fascism. What the fuck do you mean that we will see it soon enough? We didn’t take the path you say also leads there eventually, the only way to tell where it leads is theory. We are never going to see the real world impacts of the choice we did not make.

          The voters and especially the non-voters are to blame along with the politicians. Why shouldn’t they be responsible for voting against their own interests or sitting it out after having seen a Trump presidency?

    I was wondering when he would pop his Rational Self-Interest head up. He’s been uncharacteristically silent for a while, not performing his usual contrarian stunts for attention. He was smart enough to keep his head down for this insanity.

    But when something threatens his money, he’ll be there.

        Alex Jones was pretty critical of the PATRIOT Act, Bush, and the war in Iraq. It’s ironic how much of an autocratic war hawk he is now.

    Hopefully the republicans can go the way of the whigs, the democratic party can become the conservative party they so desperately want to be, and we can create an actual party on the left.

      I’ve wanted this for ages. And it’s represented so well in Republicans having only one platform: “Oppose Democrats. If it makes a Democrat angry, do it.”

      Cleanse - and I mean CLEANSE - the opposition party. No one here can claim the Democrats never have good ideas. And yet, we can definitely do better than them. A better party means having better ideas - not just “Stop them libruls”. Bernie just toured the States with a message of exactly what that would look like.
