Everytime he pushes the line and his side stays quiet or makes up obvious bullshit “reasons” why it’s OK he just gets bolder. That being said Iran might own all the US by the time Trump is done winning over there. And if not then someone else will follow their blueprint. | ||

All while major economies are running out of oil reserves. Seems like a totally sustainable pattern the world can keep repeating. | ||

Sadly too many US people seems happy with war, more debt and worse quality of life. Trying to understand Trump voters is not easy, but I want to try. -They are not all idiots, and calling names won't solve anything. -Most of all want something specific from him which is really important to them, and he needs to deliver on that point. -If he does deliver in their eyes, he can do and say whatever he wants. Normal rules do not apply. What the special thing they want is varies, but the Republicans have worked strategically for decades to build a group large enough to win elections. Afaik, they include: -Lower taxes than the Democrats. -Traditional "Christian" values, including abortion laws. -Relaxed gun control laws. -Strict immigration policies. -Less regulation and government intervention. Foreign Affairs is just not that important to them. Grocery and property prices will only seriously matter if the Democrats can convince them they actually have solutions. The Democrats do have their own corruption problems, so it is a hard sell. The system can be broken if the Democrats manage get the wing voters, as well as steal from some of the groups. Putting openly Christian males on the ballot is probably the most effective. Did I miss something? | ||

What could I do to make not segregating voters by race for the sake of democracy move from almost a good point to a good point? | ||

Trump is actively breaking the Foreign Emoluments Clause on a daily basis and him and his family are very obviously accepting bribes in order to influence his goverment, there are laws against that, unfortunately, the SC has made it so that Trump is immune from all of it, but he is still a criminal and a head of a massive crime family profiting every which way they can from his presidency. | ||

Well, nothing really happened when people found out the Supreme Court was taking bribes, so it's only fair for them to share the privilege. | ||

Or had their wife at Jan 6th, messaging the White House chief of staff or being directly involved in post-election lobbying to overturn it. Since all the cases were thoroughly rebuked by the lower courts it didn't come to SCOTUS hearing the 2020 "case", but in one aspect that they did rule on, ability of Congress to request WH tapes regarding it the sole dissenting voice was, well, take a wild guess. | ||
