Would be hilarious. Every ambassador who visits the White House just leaves a tray of a dozen eggs from their country on the doorstep.

I'm just imagining them filling up Grand Canyon just because.

The bigger issue is that Trump and Putin are just the most visible part of the problem.

If they both died tomorrow (oh god please), another would simply take their place. It would require a complete deprogramming of their supporters on the scale of Germany in 1945. The problem is that the entire government needs to fall for that to ever even be attempted. It would literally require a revolution or large scale invasion for that to happen at this point, and even then, as we've seen with Russia and Northern Africa quite a few times, revolutions have a tendency to just pave the way for the next lunatic to take power.

In USA, invasion isn't really possible, so it would have to be an incredibly violent and costly (in human lives) revolution, with a slim chance to actually change anything.

An invasion of Russia is probably possible, but it would require some insane inside help to make sure they don't just nuke everything when they realise they've lost anyway. A revolution probably wouldn't do much, because of the brainwashing problem.

At least be realistic about it. The fascist is in plain clothes with a facecovering. The secret police making people disappear is already well established.

Since democracy is literally built on murdering fascists and monarchs (or just authoritarians in generel), it seems pretty wild to me that it's seen as a radical belief that they should die. If we're forced to tolerate leaders whose claim to power is based on supressing and murdering dissidents in an effort to quash democratic thought, what in the actual fuck are we supposed to do to?

I've been using an unofficial Infinity For Reddit version since then, so it didn't really make a difference for me.

I've been here for about a month, switching bettween this and Reddit, while still mostly using Reddit. This made me leave Reddit completely. This and getting banned for 3 days for upvoting a comment was the final straw.

In response to your link. "Fuck you, got mine" seems to be a very central part of most of America no matter party affiliation.

It's entirely impossible for most people to consider the lives of other people. They will start to moan and whine when they can't afford restaurant trips, thinking they deserve pitty. Meanwhile they completely ignoring the millions of dead minorities who died for the terrible crime of being different.

Anyone explain to me why Trump thinks he's entitled to the minerals? All he's done is toss Ukraine out of the negotiation room, blamed them for being invaded in the first place, and now he thinks he deserves money? His people haven't even negotiated a proper deal, since a proper deal would have actual consequenses for Russia if they were to break the ceasefire....

Republicans could shoot a baby on the street and turn around immediately and tell the witnesses "look, it's time to move on, we have to look ahead to the future, and make sure babies aren't putting themselves in these situations"

I can think of a few I'm not allowed to write.
