They're also losing their constitutional rights and their entire republic.
Marines deployed in US cities...
And nobody does a damn thing about it...
Personally, I've written off America. It's now officially a fascist hellhole.

That's how the fascists win.

I don't have to do anything. I left the US and gave up my citizenship 25 years ago because it started to scare me when Dubya signed the USA Patriot Act and started turning Gitmo into a concentration camp. I'm watching the disaster unfold from afar.
I was kind of hoping America would get its shit together, but the only thing Americans are apparently good at is voluntarily drowning in more shit. They wanted Trump once because they're fucking morons, and they wanted it a second time after knowing exactly what he was and what he did because they're fucking fascists.
There's nothing good in America because there's nothing good in Americans. I should know, I was one.
I lived in the states for about 6 years and left around 2005 for the same reason. Every day since, I’ve been increasingly grateful to be out of that fuckin place.
There's nothing good in America because there's nothing good in Americans. I should know, I was one.
That's a level of self-awareness this country could use tbh. My man's not afraid to admit he's got nothing good in himself in service of making the greater point that none of us Americans have nothing good in us either. 🥂
I'm really glad they self deported. We need people who can see a future here without cruelty and fascism. Without seeing that, the fight is already over.
That just reinforces my point
You're a coward. We're better off without you.
Don't worry - we'll take care of it, or die trying.
Good thing we haven't given up.
Nobody does a damn thing about it? Way to pre-emptively comply you spineless cuck.
They're just scared. Certain European shutins are confused by what's going on, and they act out like this instead of asking questions.
These people have no idea what's actually going on.
Thanks for drawing me back in towards empathy. I totally agree with everything you've said.
Cool
I know this isn't really a universal indicator, but for me it's been watching the price of simple things like chips, candy, and soda ($3 for a 20 oz bottle?!?). All things that i enjoy occasionally but as the price of all these things continues to rise it becomes easier to say no. I was shocked to see the bagel place in town charging $15 for a sandwich on a bagel. Nobody seems to bat an eye though. I think I'm probably just getting gradually priced out of my town ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Of course I'm aware i don't have to buy any of that stuff and i can cook and make food at home, and that's what I've started doing. I may treat myself on occasion but i just can't justify spending that much on stuff that didn't used to cost half that. I'm probably just getting old and remember "back in my day" all too well, lol
Compensating for relative lower income with low cost of consumer products is a bit like pissing your pants to get warm. The underlying issue is declining wages, caused by the loss of labor power. If people had decent wages a rise in prices would not be a problem. But while scraping by a rise in prices is a huge problem.
Facts. But the other side of that is the massively unequal tax burden. Tax corporations and wealthy proportionally to their reported net worth and use that to fund substantial public services (healthcare, transportation, education, childcare) so that rising wages aren't just funneled back into the same pockets.
Same here - ive even started buying rice and dried beans in bulk And taken to canning and growing veg. I'm not giving up my recreational funds for a Mc Crapwich
There was a post recently saying the total sum of wage theft, including conventional theft and the results of suppressed wages, totals to like $50 trillion over the past few decades.
Shit's bad. But other than the rich, people in the US have like no class consciousness.
How have we as a people not agreed to just strip musk and bezos of all their personal wealth and use it to fund infrastructure and social projects. In ancient civilizations, these guys would have been dragged to the chopping block ages ago
Are we great again?
This isn't news. It's BEEN like this. Why people are letting these guys get away with it is beyond me. Why is he still alive?
Yeah, I remember in 2010 struggling to pay rent and groceries with a full time job in the US. So crazy.
Hey America are we great yet?
Almost. The tariffs should be working their magic any second now... Any second now...
Me still waiting for my $5000 I was promised in February so I can invest it in crypto and be a billionaire by summer…
The American Dream ended in 1975.
You must be so tired of winning.
