    You aint see nothing yet. Wait till the Trumps celebrates 20 years of absolute control over your country and then we’ll talk. Americans chose fascism, explicitly.

      His kids will have to lead the parade, there’s no way that sentient Big Mac is going to last another 20 years.

        Y’know, I used to agree on this, but in the era of deepfakes I half wonder if we’d have body-double Trumps leading the country for the next several decades. Like a stupider version of the “Putin Body Double” theory.

        It’s not like there isn’t days and days worth of video and audio to train the AI on.

      They choose fascism every four years. But this is tacky fascism, which liberals can’t stand.

      There’s a good and proper way to take over the courts. Trump has violated the norms. He’s making liberal democracy look bad. Unforgivable.

          Now you have a pedophile dictatos and a nazi running your country.

          I’m old enough to remember Dennis Hastert (confirmed pedophile) as House Speaker and Dick Cheney (unapologetic fascist) running the Executive Branch.

          Nevermind the litany of Klan members and Apartheidists littered through governor’s offices and Senate seats straight through my childhood.

          But they knew where the line was. They knew the Real Common Enemy was anti-colonialist insurgencies in Vietnam and Cuba and Iran and Chile. They knew how to work with the Clintons and Schumers and Pelosis to crush Radical Islamism and Fuck The CCP.

          Now fascism is returning to the imperial core and liberals are terrified of being treated like an Iraqi or Haitian. Absolutely intolerable!

          Trump’s threatening to send white people to Gitmo!!! That’s not supposed to happen!!!

            You are a pedo-fascist dude. A whiny privilege-ass average american little bitch. You’re not half as smart as you think you are lol.

            The entire world hates you. Palestine hates you. Your own country hates you. . The women hates you. Every single minorities group hates you. Russia and China laugh at you.

      No, of the people that voted, a slim majority voted for fascism. I think that is an important distinction that will have consequences.

        “people that voted” is not a thing. you can’t absolve the American people from this. 86 million people did not vote. in a two party system that’s not a vote for neither; it’s a vote for “I’m fine with both”. so around 160 million people were A-OK with explicit fascism. that’s a huge majority.
