This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.
@Strandjunker Commiserations.
That being said, all empires fall!

@Skwerlgyrl @Strandjunker yep, especially frustrating when people minimize with "just a few years and then he'll be gone", "presidents come and go" etc.
I'm just sitting here, shaking my head "no" because evil never dies, it just changes form.
I'm predicting that Emperor Cheeto's successor will be just as bad, in his own way. And it won't be JD Vance, because Vance has (smartly) started to put a little distance between. It will be some other dreadful curse, like Stephen Miller, or Kegsbreath, or maybe even John Thune. <*shudder*>

@Strandjunker yeah living thru the fall of an empire like this is not fun. In our case, so much delusion and denial from both classes. It is bizarre. Hang in here

Along this line of reasoning:
3-Letter News: "RFK halts another (vital pillar of the American) health monitoring system."
No dumb bitch, no: "Oligarchy continues building out their plans to decimate the American population."
It's all Big Tobacco's corporate strategy for maximizing revenue. Stochastic violence and plausible deniability. Two hands washing each other.

@Strandjunker This is the system in action. This was inevitable.

@Strandjunker Your system has been failing to stop them for decades. Stop waiting for it to work. It is not going to happen.

MAGA/Trump political supporters are the fascist *collaborators* allowing this to take place. Remember everyone of their names and locations....... payback will come, accompanied by some real rage....
@yuhasz01
No, they are the nazis. Those among the rest of us who don't try to stop them are the collaborators.

Yep, the very "system" that was designed to protect the interests of rich white men... still works for them.

@Strandjunker The opposition are absolute idiots stuffed with facts that they have no idea what to do with, and the corruption that MAGA is now super-sizing.
And the people who thought opposing a Hitler-loving monster by portraying him as either a bumbling fool or a balloon in the shape of a cute baby, while donning "pussy hats", are pretty stupid too. TrumpCo just seized control of >1/3 of the world's oil supply and almost of fertilizer production... they are going to starve the world's liberal democracies until they turn fascist.
And our response to this situation is supposed to be "Look at the incompetence"! Hon, I've got news for you....

@David_Esposito@universeodon.com @Strandjunker@mstdn.social I think it is the opposite, the elite think it is Untouchable and Infallible, and that the rest just bends knee and serve them (which they currently do).

@Strandjunker We *are* the ‘system’.
#Americans have *allowed* the #MAGA cult and #BananaRepublicans to ‘drain the Treasury’ and trash the reputation of the #UnitedStates by *refusing* to abandon the party system that the #FoundingFathers *intentionally* left OUT of the #Constitution. They saw that that it was a cancer on #UKpol - with Whigs and Tories responsible for the same corruption #Democrats and #Republicans wallow in now.

@Strandjunker It's not the system that's flawed; the problem lies with the greedy and utterly incompetent people within it.
The system does have checks and balances, but the people are either too corrupt or too stupid to use them. -

It's never the system that does the stopping, it's always the people. -

There is no "The System". It is people. But for all Americans' bluster about fighting for freedom, and an entire amendment about it, they're pretty complacent.

If the midterms fail to turn the tide, I’m afraid only an insurrection by the people and those of good will, can…

@Strandjunker @briankrebs when the system fails, you shutdown the country. General strike. Everyone everywhere. You can’t wait two years.
@letoams @Strandjunker @briankrebs Knock it off.

@Strandjunker As are the people. That's the actually sad part.

@Strandjunker The system is what it results in. So, the system is working - that's precisely what it was set up to do. We are in late-stage capitalism, and, even more than most countries, the US has been setup this way. Wonder why so many Americans are now thinking that socialism might not be a bad thing after all...

@Hteph Sorry, I had no idea. Just trying to reduce character count.
