I’ve never been so alarmed for the US. Ever. The Christo-fascism, the blatant racism and bigotry of #Hegseth hearing is beyond anything I can even express here. Sickening. Despicable. And this is only the beginning.

@GottaLaff

It is not sustainable, and this is why…

@xs4me2 What, that he won the popular vote?

@GottaLaff

That about 50% and probably more, when taking the manipulation into account, don’t agree with what is going on, and that they own guns too…

@xs4me2 Trump will be getting away with a ton of things he shouldn't, guns or no guns.

@GottaLaff

Only time will tell… Trump is an aberration, a freak.

He has already been getting away with a lot of things but there is a breaking point somewhere. In every society.

Exactly for cases like this the 2nd Amendment is in place, as a remnant from the past. Very appropriate…

@GottaLaff

As long as there are people like this, true Republicans or Democrats.

@xs4me2 Trump may be a freak, his thugs are not. They're are millions of them. It's a movement now. It's MAGA.

If Trump were gone, this would not go away.

@GottaLaff

They have been there, the red necks, always... the thing is Trump gave them a platform with his politics of the gut, Hitleresque... but he is a fraud, a con man. His statements on Greenland, Panama, Canada, simply grotesque...

But dangerous, very dangerous... yes..

@xs4me2 @GottaLaff
"Trump is an aberration..."

No.
No, he's not. And the statement is dangerously naïve.

He's a man who should obviously be in prison for treason, but who instead is President of the United States with a golden ticket of immunity, an immunity that renders the country into little more than a hybrid monarchy, and most certainly not a democracy.

And if you believe these people are going to ever willingly give up power I have some land in Florida that might interest you. ☠️

@clintruin @GottaLaff

Posing with an AR15, a Bible and the flag does not make one a hero, but a stupid jackass...

Trump should have been in prison, the US are hopelessly polarized as it is, as is the SCOTUS courtesy of Trump and the former Republican administration and the wrongdoings of McConnell and many more...

Time will tell, quite unpredictable

The instability for the world and the US is obvious. Just when we do not need it.

@xs4me2 @GottaLaff

Trump is an aberration, no two ways about it.

But his means of breaking the law without consequence, flaunting and flouting norms and standards both social and legal, and his utter incompetence in every step have long been what the Republicans have sought to normalize in their deconstruction of what has long been considered a democratic state.

@theogrin @GottaLaff

As it is, we have no way of knowing where this will go... a Napoleon of the stupid... a narcissistic emperor with no clothes... one thing I know, he probably will not deliver... except to himself...

Mid terms in two years, by then we know...

With the 2 parties in place, and big money driving it how much of a democracy is it in fact as it is...

In any case, no one lives forever, a good thing in fact.
