I think it is pretty obvious why the government is shut down, it’s because Joe Biden signed documents with an Autopen, obviously…
Vote in the midterms and FUCKING VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES.
Whether you like it or not, FPTP makes 3rd parties mathematically unviable in general elections.
If you want to move the Democrat party leftward (which is, politically, the only option now), the only way to do that is to vote for progressives in the primaries. They do exist. Research them in your state, lobby and volunteer for them, and get them in the primaries. Then show up for them.
If we’d been doing this instead of protest voting in the generals or abstaining, we wouldn’t be having to cope with a weakened and corporate Dem party. Shockingly, you actually do have the power to move things if you get involved.
They play buzzword bingo. There’s no truth behind anything they say. Problem? Say that phrases “Democrats” “Joe Biden” “Hilary’s Email”. People don’t think about this stuff logically (mostly because their education has been defunded).
Well, of course he does. He’s simply building a pretext for the suspension of the House.
With his recent declaration of war on the left and his ILLEGAL withholding of Congressionally approved funds to only blue states, it’s wild to realize that we are actually experiencing a treasonous president (and party) and this cuck of a country isn’t doing a fucking thing about it.
To live your whole life hearing some “home of the free, land of the brave” bullshit, just to find out that it was exactly that. Bullshit.
this cuck of a country isn’t doing a fucking thing
Think of how many have lives have been lost because of a lack of sensible gun laws, all for the lie “we need all these guns in case we have to stop a tyrannical dictator from trying to take over the country”
To be fair they dont have a supermajority
Doesn’t matter if they recess before speaking on it.
They W h a t
Grindr Mike forced a recess before any discussion could be had.
It’s can be even funnier - one of our previous Defense Ministers decried corruption and massive money laundering operations on war effort while also being the one doing that. He literally snitched on himself and did it with panache of Scooby Doo villain and it was as stupid as it sounds.
Had to have been a republican
nah, he was high-profile big business lawyer before getting the minister chair - basically appointed as “the man outside of the system”. the problem was - he was a big business lawyer and he basically pushed the big business agenda inside ministry instead of you know state interests and shit. And then he decided to outargue a respected investigative reporter who exposed unlawful scheming inside Defense Ministry and while he was busy proving everybody wrong he outlined the whole thing even better and it caused even bigger public outcry so he was forced to resign.
Well when your voters are dumb as shit, then just saying yep Democrats fault they know their base will accept their word.
It worked out PERFECTLY for the GOP.
They can refuse to swear in the new democrat Adelita Grijalv into the house for the 218th vote to release the epstein files that Johnson and Trump are ALL over.
It also gives them a new way to fire thousands of more federal “left leaning” employees.
It also gives them optics with their voter base that democrats hate america and want people to suffer, and they eat it up.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country who are based in reality know this is 100% republicans fault and a way to delay the epstien files and hurt the american public even more. At the same time calling for war on american citizens who don’t bow down to the dictator.
They can refuse to swear in the new democrat Adelita Grijalv into the house for the 218th vote
Ya thats great for them, but you know whats ever greater?? Dissolving congress… which I bet trump will try and do, then the Epstein files will literally never be released.
Their base believes in anything anyway, so no reason to try to worry about optics.
I mean they think democrats are communists, and the green energy movement has more money and benefits than oil companies. Its not surprising so many of them think dinosaurs were killed by the flood from the noah’s ark story less than 5,000 years ago and that donald trump is fighting for them.
We can count on the liberal media to report “both sides” of this situation as usual.
That’s how we got here.
The Democrats want to
-
Extend healthcare subsidies that were put into place during the pandemic. Allowing these to expire would raise everyone’s monthly healthcare premium.
-
Challenge new restrictions introduced in the “big, beautiful bill” which seeks to exclude able bodied “working age” individuals from Medicaid benefits. 12 million low income individuals are on track to lose coverage.
Sidebar: John Oliver has covered this but… the way this system works is you lose coverage by default and then have to submit paperwork monthly to prove you are working. Its been shown time and time again that state governments do not have the administrative capacity to handle that amount of documentation so even if you are eligible you will likely spend most of your time uninsured and in administrative limbo.
- Challenge immigration enrollment restrictions that aim to prevent immigrants from accessing Medicaid benefits (everyone who works in the US [including immigrants] pay into Medicaid).
Republicans don’t want to include those provisions in the budget. Instead they want to talk about them later. We all know what that means.
Don’t forget about the Epstein files.
You’re right, that belongs at the top of every list.
Yeah they’re totally happy to fuck over trans people though.

Republicans have always loved blaming the minority for their problems, nothing new there.
The pedo king is buying time before he gets beheaded.
Hell I would be watching that shit on PPV, so would much of the world. You wanna raise trillions of dollars there USA, thats how you do it.
Everyday we stray closer to Idiocracy.
Just watched it again earlier this week and i actually got sad/angry when they introduce Presiden Cumacho’s cabinet members. It’s identical to our cabinet. Except their secretary of education was better than ours.
Dude I watched it in the past year and I was surprised how much better it was than when I first watched it in the 2000s. It’s incredible how stupid we are.
IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PROPHETIC!!!
I see a few other things in that movie coming true, like the tat Not, Sure received, the food kiosks that drug you when violent, can’t wait for that movie “Ass” or the tv line up
Classic fascism: the enemy is both weak and strong.
They’re minorities but they’re everywhere.
The weak Democrats have so small numbers, they fit in any crevice. Very small numbers, very dangerous!

So according to your logic Hitler only became a fascist once he completed restructuring the state to fit his ideology. Before that he was not a fascist?
He was just a sparkling Authoritarian before they invaded Poland

Someone is very smart!

But it would be a very showing sign if you started listing the steps Trump is taking to do so! Oh you can’t because he isn’t? Oh
Oh I can. Everybody with eyes and ears can. And you are lucky I have nothing to do for a moment.
Let’s take your own list.
Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader (kinda one tick, he wants to be but isn’t ), centralized autocracy(nope, he holds no absolute authority),
You said it yourself, he openly wants to be a dictator. He directly said that he wants to stay president in at least a third term. And that elections will not be needed in the future. And we know he is obsessed with personal loyalty. And from a german perspective I can tell you that the powers that a regular US president has are already borderline dictatorial at best. Executive orders, ordering military actions without oversight, full legal immunity, pardons, most of the “checks and balances” can just be ignored as Trump does, etc. Those things are insane and it is a wonder that no US president ever transformed the USA into a full dictatorship. He does not have to take any steps towards becoming a dictator, because the only necessary step is declaring that there are no term limits. The rest of his powers are already at a level that wannabe-dictators in other countries dream of. And here you have a guy that openly tells you what he wants to do with those.
militarism(no, wants to conquer but can’t),
when he came to power he immediately ordered a military parade and tried to pressure other countries to join the USA (Greenland, Canada). Do you think Hitler just decided to invade a neighbour one morning? No, it was preceded by a lot of pressuring those same neighbours and internal propaganda to prepare the populace for war.
forcible suppression of opposition(nope),
he deployed the national guard in cities that had large protests against him. He encouraged censoring people that spoke against him on television. Yesterday he threatened to specifically hurt democratic states if the democrats do not agree to his budget plan.
belief in a natural social hierarchy(nupe),
His racism and misogyny are not enough for you? You need super-racism?
subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race(nope, only his interest),
do you know what the word “perceived” means? The “interest of the nation” is just a pretext to rally support for personal interest and it has been the same in the 1930s
and strong regimentation of society and the economy(hahaha, no)
Historians and other scholars disagree on the question of whether a specifically fascist type of economic policy can be said to exist. David Baker argues that there is an identifiable economic system in fascism that is distinct from those advocated by other ideologies, comprising essential characteristics that fascist nations shared.[302] Payne, Paxton, Sternhell et al. argue that while fascist economies share some similarities, there is no distinctive form of fascist economic organization.[303][304][305] Gerald Feldman and Timothy Mason argue that fascism is distinguished by an absence of coherent economic ideology and a lack of serious economic thinking. They state that the decisions taken by fascist leaders cannot be explained within a logical economic framework.[306] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
Ok, but like other than all that, what evidence do you have!? Ha, checkmate liberal!!
:P
Thank you for telling us who you are.

The only thing you proved is your IQ level
For one IQ is not a measurement of objective intelligence but on the highly trainable skill of pattern recognition
For two yea! Not forming your opinion on your groups rhetoric is well… no it’s actually not any harder… Hm, I actually do wonder why do you need Tramp to be fascist
You should really try farming internet points on a platform that actually counts them! Maybe reddit?
Unless you count the fact that he absolutely fucking is a fascist

Because it’s fucking obvious. I don’t need to say so. Guess what simping for fascists makes you.
That person is banned now but it will always be funny that some do not accept the label that - if you read any definition of it - perfectly fits. The things they actively strive for.
It’s an Emperor’s New Clothes situation: everyone sees it but you’re not allowed to say it.
