I realize some of these are merely collateral damage.
Id rather it wasn't necessary, but in the meantime, may it start hurting enough that y'all rise up to your bullshit king.

Not yet. People are still in denial that their choice, or their choice to sit it out, us responsible for his installation.
It’s Bidens fault!
Only significant pain will transform the US unfortunately. And it'll either be economic or combative. Most MAGA voters are gone, but the "nothing will change" non-voters can be woken up from the delusion that nothing matters and helped to recognize that voting at its most basic is harm reduction.
As a border state that sees a bunch of Canadian tourists and shoppers it'll suck, but the only way out is through.
I'm sad to comprehend that you are saying they are a lost cause and not that they had disappeared.
I'm incredibly sad about it too, it consumes a non-inconsequential amount of my family. But a large faction of the US have been trained since the civil rights era that it's good to suffer hurt yourself as long as you are hurting the undesirables more.
Are you aware what a massive undertaking it is to deprogram people who are brainwashed in a cult?
It's extremely hard, takes a long time, and requires the influence from the cult is cut completely.
So yes the MAGA cult is basically a lost cause. Unless USA decides to shut down FOX and CNN and the likes.
We needed to deprogram the south when they lost the war, Sherman gave it a start, but then we failed when we showed them mercy.
Now they've finally won.
Just commented in another post about Canadians stopped going to the USA. NY border towns like Plattsburgh, small one like Rouses Points, or even big one like Lake George are suffering big times because there is no more Canadians.
Two weeks ago, felt like going to Burlington for a quick weekend trip from Montreal. Went to Niagara falls instead. That a few hundreds Trump won't enjoy. Clean your house USA.
Dear news orgs: you have reached your 2025 quoto for the following words: "ravaged," "blasted," "slammed"
How about "smashed", "hit with" and "under fire"?
I remember a recent commenter elsewhere refer to this as "playground speech". I guess if you have the mental capacity of a gradeschooler then you can't help but click on playground speech links. Clicks that inevitably seem to lead to a tiny narrow block of content down the middle of your wide screen, surrounded by miles of whitespace, lots of pictures, not much to read.
Do not come to this shit hole country.
The whole thing isn't a shit hole.
We just happen to have a massive region that have been the shittiest hole in the world for centuries and the internet suddenly broke them out of the cage we kept them in for everyone's welfare.
There are good Americans too, but unfortunately the majority voted for Trump, and now the world is turning away from USA.
Unfortunately the good Americans are colateral dammage. But USA did start a trade war, and USA has threatened the security of even their closest allies.
So the fault is 100% on the Americans for allowing Trump to become president. And even if many don't agree with him, Trump's actions are the official actions of the whole country. So Trump is dragging everybody down with him.
not quite a majority
My God I'm tired of that argument, it's so stupid IMO.
Trump won the popular vote, the ones that didn't bother in principle might as well have voted for Trump, because the result would be the same.
By that logic it's not only a majority but a super majority.
Nowhere near a majority if you include all the people who didn't vote. Low voter turnout, combined with prolific gerrymandering and targeted attacks (like the 200 election day bomb threats closing polling stations mostly in Pennsylvania) means small minority groups can coordinate their actions to take over the government. Which is what has happened. The silent majority does not support Trump, and it's well past time for them to remember they are in fact the actual majority, and they had better not remain silent much longer or else they're going to find out that the cost of speaking will get higher and higher the longer they let these criminals run their country.
Well let's hope this 1/3rd of the country that doesn't vote decides to vote this time...
