The American people are allowing themselves to be embarrassed daily by this man. This can all end as soon as the American people decide to end it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Hi, American here. I decided to end it. It doesn't seem to be ending. Now what?
Please enlighten me to this silver bullet action item that I can take to end this. I'm showing up to protests, I'm calling my representatives. It's not working.
The bullets don't have to be silver. The GOP aren't werewolves.
You are a single person within the US. They are saying “the American people” which is to say that the collection of people made up of the general population of the US must decide to stop this nonsense.
That means that all of you need to finally stop chasing centrists, stop voting for fascists, etc. We aren’t stupid, we know that there are people trying, but “the American people” is a group still that includes tens of millions of nazis and tens of millions of people who don’t even vote because they’re ignorant of what’s going on.
That means that all of you need to finally stop chasing centrists, stop voting for fascists, etc.
And start working cooperatively together towards that common goal, rather than stubbornly insisting on being a bunch of "rugged individuals".

Meaning, what? The GOP controls Congress, the courts and the WH.
Au contraire
It doesn't take "people"

It’s his boyhood fantasy to pretend to be a king. It’s too bad no one told him that coward kings like him never ended well.
His sons absolutely seem the type to hire assassins on each other over succession. Fortunately he doesn't seem to care that much about any of them
I hope that garbage PoS is still alive to see all of it torn down. Preferably from a view behind bars with the rest of the Nazi Party, I mean, the GOP.
he's going to pay a lot of money to be one of the first digital-immortal AIs and there will be debates about the ethics of torturing his AI model
What a way to make money! "Download a copy of Trump's consciousness today and do whatever you want with it!"
(I will be opposed but it'll be a hard sell)

Maybe he should say, "let them eat cake"
Let them eat big macs.
Does anyone have a link to the complete guest list of this recent schmooze a palooza?
Someone should forward a copy of that list to Luigi.....
Well… he’s a little imprisoned right now… but there are other people who may like to communicate that it’s in bad taste to celebrate decadence while almost have of our country lives in uncertainty.
I hope Trump's "Let them eat bread" moment comes soon
Just out of curiosity, in this fantasy scenario does the military:
a) unanimously decides to join the "anty-Trump" movement and overseas peaceful transition of power
b) watches idly while ICE and secret service massacres protesters
c) splits into pro and anti Trump factions and starts civil war
?
I know a lot of people in the military. If you were on the inside, you'd see a lot of sudden, mostly innocuous incompetence, because the last thing most people in the military want to hear is someone telling them how to do their job. Couple that with most people in the military being relatively sane, and I'd bet you'll start to see operations get canceled or failed or reschedule due to all sorts of "oopsies".
The modern military has never had to deal with an insurrectionist in the oval office though, so who knows, but I don't think you'd see open rebellion from the armed forces, just epic sandbagging.
Caveat: This doesn't count any private armies the assholes in charge raise up, like how they're trying to turn ICE into their own Einsatzgruppen. those won't be staffed with military or ex military, they'll primarily be disaffected, uneducated young men they can control almost exclusively via propaganda.
If ICE ever started a shooting skirmish with a deployment of the National Guard, they'd have difficulty identifying the ICE member's bodies afterwards. Military units have discipline, but if they get fired on, all bets are off.
That's an interesting idea. 54-58% of military voted for Trump. So you think that half of the army would just sit there while the other half blocked their deployment or do you think that by the time people rise against Trump most of the military will stop supporting him?
I'm sure if you break that down by branch you'll see it line up mostly by education. The Air Force has a lot less maga in it than the Marines, for example.
Same goes for the Officers vs Enlisted in every branch

NORMALLY this would get me to Maybe Note Possibly vote Republican NEXT election BUT he's ALSO Kidnapping Children AND defending Child Sex Traffickers so REPUBLICAN TIL I DIE! Which might be Soon because I have no SNAP and no Healthcare anymore!
I'm still convinced that "The Ball Room" is actually the name of the strip club he's buidling there in the East Wing rather than anything else.
It clearly satisfies his gold toilet fetish
