America destroyed their soft power in less than two years and turned the country into the biggest bootlickers in US history.

Crazy part is the idiots who did it think they're winning.

Anything to spite the libs.

They are winning.

All these people are getting extremely wealthy selling out their country. People really need to stop convincing themselves these are all idiots who don’t know what they’re doing

Right. Wait for all those pardons

u/Glum-Drummer-6302 12h ago

They won’t even need pardons. The US government has never and will never hold itself accountable.

Trump literally tried to overthrow the government and got elected again 4 years later. The American people just love to bootlick and will never demand accountability.

my one cosmic karmic hope is that trump dies and all of their pardons evaporate

It wouldn’t matter at all. You’ve gotta be insane to think the next administration will prosecute these people.

Somehow people think only the republicans are corrupt.

u/superxpro12 10h ago

im not going to waste my time trying to explain the massive scale of corruption in the current administration. its so far and beyond anything we've ever seen

u/Glum-Drummer-6302 10h ago

Yeah and if the democrats win the next election they will sweep it all under the rug in the name of “national unity” or some other stupid shit.

It’s exactly what the Biden administration did. These guys are all friends behind closed doors and they’re all getting rich together looting the country.

u/superxpro12 10h ago

i feel that. but im also not going to pretend that any of this doge or project 2025 shit would have happened at all under a democratic administration.

u/Glum-Drummer-6302 10h ago

It wouldn’t have happened but they also won’t lift a finger to punish those who did it.

u/superxpro12 10h ago

i mean trump did get convicted in NY state... and the cases in georgia and florida were strong

Let's not forget that the florida case ran out the clock with a corrupt judge by the name of aileen cannon who showed clear favorable bias towards trump in every single ruling. Multiple ruling had to be appealed and overturned by republican appellate panels.

u/Glum-Drummer-6302 9h ago

Yeah no one was punished in either of these instances. Exactly as planned. There is no rule of law for the government. Mind blowing that people still believe there is

3

u/superxpro12 9h ago

my point is... the democrats were definitely pursuing actions. Republicans interfered and ran out the clock. Then the voters re-elected the guy who was convicted and still actively indicted.

What do you want them to do differently?

Biden's DOJ prosecuted like 1500 J6er's. They were also prosecuting Trump, until voters re-elected him. You can't prosecute a sitting president. Thank MAGA voters for being traitors. We're in this mess because of Republicans, not Democrats.

u/Glum-Drummer-6302 10h ago

You’re in this mess because the US has one of the most apathetic populations in the world. Americans are bred to get on their knees and blindly obey anyone with money.

Today is the result of decades of steady decline not 1 president or political party.

u/paintballboi07 6h ago

True. So many of our citizens don't even know how their own government works. Only around 30% of eligible voters vote during the midterms, and Congress is how laws are written and passed. The president has (or should have now with Trump) much less power comparatively. It doesn't help that our system was set up to override the will of the people with the electoral college, and racism is used to get people to vote against their own interests. I wish more young people would get involved. Millennials finally outnumber boomers.

u/superxpro12 5h ago

yeah today is the result of specifically the republican party. the republican party is the one implementing all of these fascist and draconian policies. they are actively separating children and mothers. they are shooting citizens. they are implementing project 2025. Democrats are doing none of this.

1

u/Glum-Drummer-6302 5h ago

They do nothing to stop it either.

u/superxpro12 5h ago

surely you understand why thats not possible when republicans own all 3 branches of government right?
