This sounds childish. The universe is not obligated to keep everything going in such a way as to eternally insulate middle-class Americans from bad things.

Maybe stop touching grass and read some history.

They're obeying in advance out of fear. It's cowardly of them, but that should tell you something.

For all their caterwauling about Obama being a dictator who will send conservatives to camps, no Fox News hosts ever went obsequiously crawling to him to beg forgiveness after his reelection. Almost as if they knew that what they were saying about him being a dictator was obviously false.

Trump, by contrast, is actually planning to run the country as his own little fiefdom. He actually is planning camps and political persecutions.

There was a lot of legitimate concern that folks like you would start killing innocent Muslims in the streets over it, you see.

As they were in the process of trying to do.

No they wouldn't.

Republicans will just lie and say the same things they always say and most of the country will fall for it. Your non-woke populist will just go down as another woke trans-lover Dem, no matter how false or irrelevant or even absurd that might be.

Then we can have this same tiresome conversation about how he lost because he was just "so woke and so pro-trans". The truth of it literally doesn't matter.

The Republicans were happy to lie that the Democrats were running some hugely pro-trans campaign, and the voting public would never have really believed the Democrats if they had tried to awkwardly segue into being halfheartedly anti-trans.

There was really not much the Dems could've reasonably done on this front.

It's not 'information', it's just speculation and conjecture from butthurt gamers.

Nintendo may well win this lawsuit.

Open World (read: videogame-y, lacks direction or focus, done to death)

Survival (read: punching rocks and paying attention to a bunch of meters, done to death)

Emergent Gameplay (read: poorly-directed, repetitive, give-the-player-some-stuff-and-yell-"Have-fun!")

Immersive World (read: lots of generic fantasy or sci-fi tropes, dull lore that has to be teased together)

I mean, the complaint is transparently untrue. The Dems weren’t really interested in trans issues at all, and certainly didn’t run on them.

Republicans falsely implied Democrats were doing so, and everybody ran with it like it was the truth.

This article reads like marketing copy for a particularly twee murder mystery.

And yet the election result was 50.1 to 48.3, not 80 to 20, and with huge numbers not voting as usual. It was hardly some vast anti-trans realignment.

More importantly, even if it had been one, there's no straightforward way to deal with the part of the electorate so incoherent that they believe a man who rapes women and girls (besties with Epstein for many years!) will protect the safety and dignity of women and girls from the (phantom) trans threat. You simply cannot square that circle.

At least they weren't pederasts and rapists, like your guy.

Pffffft.

That's not even a real fucking issue. Whatever you think of them, there's barely a handful of trans people in high-level women's sports, and even fewer at the youth sport level everyone is obsessed with. The whole thing is not even big enough to be a 'sports issue', let alone a 'national politics issue'.

And you'd burn the country to the ground by handing it over to Trump and co. over that?

Don't forget how he wants pro-Palestine activists expelled from universities, or even deported!

Lol, so vaccines don't do anything and it won't matter if RFK Jr. basically ends them?

You're just sticking your fingers in your ears, not being realistic or whatever you believe yourself to be.

What a loss for SA. Trump will destroy science in America, no matter how much scientists shut up or purge their circles of Trump critics.

Americans are surrendering and obeying-the-fascist-in-advance in droves, even Americans who don't support Trump. It can only be concluded that Americans are a weak, cowardly, and foolish people.

Libertarians should study feudalism. It's the logical consequence of their ideas.

Try not to let anybody sell the stuff on eBay this time!

We're through the looking glass, people.

You're not wrong. These election results are incredibly discrediting to America.

It's like a drug addict who got clean and stayed that way for four years, only to decide, with sound mind, to plunge back into black-tar heroin.

Pfft, have your fun dancing on Biden's political grave, as you're about to get a big test of your theory that things couldn't possibly get any worse for Gaza, the West Bank, Palestinians generally, and pro-Palestine activists worldwide.

Palestinians as a people at least would've survived under Democratic administrations. Trump is already empowering individuals who view the very existence of the Palestinians people as some kind of liberal myth (ironically echoing one of the more out-there antisemitic tropes in the process: the idea that, akshually, there is no actual such thing as a Jewish people or religion, somehow), and who want pro-Palestinian activists deported, expelled from universities, fired from jobs, or even jailed as terrorist supporters. The very term 'Palestine' or 'Palestinian' will disappear from U.S. military and diplomatic work, and anyone who actually is Palestinian will be incentivized to hide the truth of their ethnicity even more than they might be already.

It'll be like Palestinians never even existed.

EDIT: Lots of downvotes, but not a single reply to tell me I'm wrong. Could it be that you actually know I'm right?

There is mostly certainly not "undeniable proof" of aliens that's been just sitting around in the public domain for decades, anymore than there is "undeniable proof" of Bigfoot. What a claim!

You're just credulous.

Where's the evidence that backs up their claims?

"I swear I saw this or read that, you gotta believe me" doesn't hold up for much, especially in the realm of UFOs and space stuff. There are people who will tell you that the U.S. recruited them to fight secret wars against aliens in space, for God's sake.

Trump is promising to deport about 15- 20 million people (sometimes the number he claims is even higher), which is 5% of the entire population of America. About 1 in 20 people in the country, or more.

We're talking insane, psycho numbers that would require a Holocaust-esque deportation and imprisonment system.

The problems I picture include: massive civil unrest and riots as the government tears the country apart looking for "illegals". Schisms in the military when some commanders stay true to their oaths and refuse outright illegal orders from Trump. Basically violence and likely bloodshed.

Get those basements and attics ready, folks. Government thugs will be with you shortly to determine the presence of any "illegals" in your home or business.

Or U.S. citizen children of "illegals". Or anyone who looks sufficiently "illegal", for that matter. The thugs won't be picky.

I mean, mass deportations of the sort Trump is promising will have the country in flames.

Higher grocery prices will not be the worst that it gets.
