I’m curious if this is the last resemblance of democracy the United States will see.
I’m worried for the people stuck in red states, and worried this is going to spread outside America again like it did in 2016. I feel like I must live in a very different world compared to rural americans. I can’t imagine how a fascist authoritarian would be the logical choice ever.
I would like to think blue States will put up a fight. But I guess it depends on project 2025 and how they react to that.
If they let it happen, then idk I guess that’s that.
High five for not Hitler. I swear it must be the widespread lead poisoning. Maybe we should double-check for hookworms too. They might be causing a loss of cognitive function.
I’m in Canada and see Trump bumper stickers from time to time. The province I live in is trying to do a not so stealthy push to privatized health care. Things are likely going to get worse
All I can say is that I’m really sorry. I don’t understand why people are like this. Authoritarianism isn’t a good thing. I don’t understand how America somehow regressed further than the start of the American government.
I’m worried this will be the catalyst to things getting worse where I live, and I’m not even American. Based on 2016, this outcome won’t do us any favors either. I just hope that things turn out for the best
Not a kid anymore, but I’m guilty as charged when it comes to manga. It’s the only thing I’ll read now aside from random stuff on the web
As a Canadian I have to deal with this rise of authoritarian BS too. Whatever America does, Canadians try to emulate. I really hope we can look back at this event as a very shitty footnote in American politics that we all can have a nervous laugh at in 50 years.
I could be facing recency bias, but it certainly feels like ever since the rise of Trump, politicians have gotten a lot more bold when it comes to authoritarian/nazi like policy. We’re personally dealing with our provincial governments trying to push for privatized health care, the stripping of environmental protections, and much more.
I’ve never heard of this guy until today, but what a bad ass. We need more people like this in the world.
I would love to hear how they plan to resolve what feels like an inevitable unrest that will one day erupt.
I’m obviously not an expert on the subject, but the rhetoric has been so much more extreme. I hope nothing bad happens, but I have no idea how to get people to understand that an authoritarian government is bad. Do people even understand what that means? Or how living in an authoritarian state would affect their lives?
Yes and no. It depends on the games. Usually I wait for discounts now though. I don’t have time to play every game anyways so it saves me money to wait. Even during sales, I’ll stop and ask myself if I’ll play it soon. If I don’t think I will, I usually just wait
It’s disturbing to see the rize of authoritarian nazi like behavior in North America. The worst part is a lot of these people had their grandfather’s and fathers fight in the world wars to stop this kind of thing.
It’s messed up that these kinds of people can even get into political office when they should be as far away from political power as possible.
Damn I don’t understand how this brainwashing works, but the right wing has it on point. I’m genuinely worried that our world is about to change for the worse.
Regardless of whether you’re in America or not, Trump existing has created a whirlwind of authoritarian worshiping bullies. Canada doesn’t seem far off. I know Europe is having their own troubles with it too. It’s like these people either didn’t learn about the world wars or did and thought “hey that sounds great”
Such a shame it turned out the way it did, but the writing was on the wall. Every single reddit announcement thread was a shit show aha. I guess in a way they were transparent about only being in it for the money. Their actions were always consistent
So the owners are being threatened and / or bribed by Trump to keep quiet? Or are they that scared of the fallout in the near future?
I think you can definitely find duplicate ptoducts outside of amazon. In some rare cases, I’ve seen very specific products where the company specifically only sells on Amazon, but that’s of course, rare.
But what I meant is that all the options are these massive companies like Wal-Mart that definitely don’t have the general populations’ best interests in mind.
I wonder what the good alternatives for people would be (aside from shopping local. Sometimes, you just can’t, depending on what you’re trying to find.)
Are there any other big stores(owners of said stores) that have endorsed Harris/spoken out against fascist and authoritarian behavior?
The reason I ask is because I feel like in our current systems, it’s impossible not to support shitty groups or people. The money funnels up to the top
Yeah, I don’t personally get it. We’re on a salary too, so if we’re getting our work done, that should be it.
They essentially have no idea how much work we can actually do, so they’re trying to force the efficiency out of us. But I think it causes people to drag their projects out because they just get more work the faster they go. They’re also tracking to see how long we spend on various pages/screens. So I don’t think anyone can fudge their productivity at this point even if they wanted to.
There’s no incentives to work harder as our raises dont really make up for inflation(even though we know they could! We all get to see the quarterly profits, and they’re bringing in millions more each year). so it’s this weird cycle of distrust and annoyance between the employees and our employer.
In my personal opinion, I think the logical solution would be to have a normal conversation with an employee who isn’t working as efficiently and see how the employer and employee can work together to improve things.
I know the guys at the top could retire tomorrow and never work another day in their life. I don’t understand why they don’t. Life is too short to waste away at an office
I can’t find the original post, but I did a Google search and found this.

I haven’t tried it yet, but there might be a better or easier way!
I’ve really wanted to one day go grab a personal collection like that for myself.
I also saw that you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, and it doesn’t take up too much space either. I think it was a post made here the other day? I thought that was pretty cool. So much knowledge at ones disposal
I mean, when federal law has been manipulated and tampered with, I think the question becomes, will people allow it to happen, or will they resist?
And at that point, I have no idea. You would be looking at mass protests and / or civil war at that point. They’re either going to have to be ready to literally fight for their rights or just give up I guess. If there’s no way to fight it “legally” (I use this in quotations because the GOP seems to want to change the rules so nobody can oppose them), then I suppose those are the only other two options.
