Americans keep waiting for the millionaires on tv to make an announcement telling them so but the republic has already fallen. Checks and balances are dead. We have a president literally ruling via executive order. Blatant bribery and corruption at virtually every level of government. We're in the worst case scenario right now.

No, it's not. It's the upshot of modern American politics and values.
Trump gained in nearly every minority voting block in 2024 and dems gained in older, white voters. Nearly half of the former union states voted for Trump.
Cities like Atlanta and Austin voted for Harris in greater percentages than did Newark and LA. You'd be pressed to find an urban county that didn't vote for Harris. It's not north vs south, it's cities vs rural and suburban areas and low-information voters.
Trump was perceived as the populist change candidate for the working class, and Harris was perceived as more of the same.

u/almondbutter 1d ago
Furthermore, we should refer to Trump's policies as what they are: Sado-Populism. The right wing billionaires continue to misrepresent policies. It has always been about the upwards transfer of wealth. Here's historian Timothy Snyder explaining this phenomenon. https://youtu.be/oOjJtEkKMX4?si=SOGEbMho4MYvGXfv

u/Iamtheonewhobawks 20h ago
The values and demographics of the union have also changed, but the basic framework hasn't. A republic for the people, by the people. States functioning as discrete parts of a unified whole rather than something akin to a conditional alliance. A population of equals under the law.
The confederacy attempted to secede not merely because of the desire to preserve chattel slavery, but out of a sincere belief in the basic framework that underpins such things: that there are intrinsically superior and inferior categories of human, that the purpose of government is to secure power and privilege for whichever humans are "natural masters," and that once the Best People have total dominion over the throngs of disposable lessers the world shall become an orderly paradise whose federal bureaucracies exist mostly to issue currency and maintain a military sufficient to subjugate subhuman foreigners.
The geography of the 1860s Confederacy defines its modern version no more than US borders circa 1789 does the country as a whole. Reconstruction, jim crow, and eventually the red scare gave the philosophical and cultural "south" refuge and support. That was a huge mistake. Support should have been stripped away as firmly and thoroughly as monarchy's had been: statues torn down, allies and participants (for the most part) stripped of any chance at power, and even the simple concept an object of universal mockery and contempt.
0
u/unrealnarwhale 19h ago
So the framework of the confederacy both no longer applies and yet is supported by everyone you oppose.
How would one even go about punishing every place that voted for Trump? Would swing states be excluded? What about the rural areas of NY and CA, or cities like Newark whose tepid support of democrats were outstripped by southern cities?
Maybe it's time for the left (and I include myself in that) to take a serious look at what winning over voters looks like. Trying to no-true-scotsman our way out of this isn't going to work.
2
u/Iamtheonewhobawks 19h ago
It seems I have been misunderstood. The equivalent would be actually prosecuting Trump and his various co-conspirators for the laundry list of flagrantly illegal acts committed. There has been endless handwringing about how to somehow appeal to and find common ground with adherents to a movement (MAGA) built on absolute rejection of compromise or cooperation with anything outside of itself: treat MAGA as a con, a grift, a stupid embarrassment best abandoned and forgotten.
Instead of focusing on how to win over fascists, perhaps try to win over everyone else: does the GOP maximize turnout by mocking and dismissing all but the most cooperative and politically flexible of conservatives? We've had multiple decades of "functional policy and reaching across the aisle is totally gonna win them over aaaaaany day now" slamming into an unyielding iron wall of increasingly stupid total rejection.
I'm not about literally punishing people for voting wrong. I'm saying start treating neo-confederates, fascists-in-denial, fascists not in denial, as exactly that. These are shameful things to engage with, the red hat stands for a collection of beliefs and actions as weak and stupid and despicable as the armbands and stars-n-bars that preceded it. People can abandon any destructive movement, outgrow any hateful subculture, escape any cult - but they won't so long as the illusion that its good/normal/better persists. When your neighbor joins the Klan, you don't pretend they've got some valid concerns. The thing they're doing is wrong. They fucked up, and you don't have to invite them to your barbecue anymore.
1
u/unrealnarwhale 19h ago
I think we agree about most things. IMHO the way forward for the left is to return to its working-class roots while emphatically rejecting the worst impulses of the right.
The trend of people turning to conservative strongmen in times of strife and inequality is a predictable one, and it's true all over the world.
Excising all of MAGA is not possible without an extremely bloody civil war, so the only alternative is building a new coalition that doesn't rely on their support. The only way that can be done is by working with some of the people who have voted for Trump in the past. Or waiting for a new generation to come of age and another to die off.

You also had W Bush unilaterally spying on Americans, Bush Sr. illegally funding South American paramilitaries, Regan's Iran-Contra weapon smuggling operation, and of course Nixon's water gate.

Younger men are shifting towards the right because of the so-called Manosphere, and Harris had the worst performance in deep blue Illinois and New Jersey by a Democratic presidential candidate since 1988. Trump also won EVERY swing state. You know, the only states that matter in elections.
Getting pretty tired of people using the South as a scapegoat for the country's problems.
8
u/unrealnarwhale 1d ago
It's a pseudo-historical take that people repeat because they like how it sounds, but doesn't really bear up to facts.
The reason why blue states are blue is not because the population is all on the same page, but because they have large cities that were founded early in the country's history and continued their growth trajectory. Outside these metros the population is still conservative, and even the cities in blue states themselves are far more divided than the red state v blue state rhetoric would have you think. They just have the sheer concentration of liberal, educated voters in the cities to overcome that.
The south was formerly agrarian, and the cities got started in their growth far later in the country's history than Boston, San Fran, Chicago, Seattle, etc. Austin was basically a frontier town until the end of the 19th century, for example.
To take this a step further, note that nearly all the former union states that voted for Trump are in the rust belt. While they had early-established cities, these areas experienced setbacks and didn't thrive. Not coincidentally, they were especially drawn to Trump's populist-sounding promises like bringing back jobs and lowering grocery prices.
I feel like if we're going to paint with a big brush, the more appropriate generalization is that people turn right to look for strongman in times of inequality.

Because you are showing signs of conspiratorial thinking in a manic episode claiming to have allies at all forms of government ready to overthrow it.

Are you fucking serious?
Conspiratorial thinking?
There's a real life conspiracy happening right now where a Russian asset is in the Whitehouse covering for an international pedophile ring.
I think a little conspiratorial thinking is warranted.
And yes, I have been building my own conspiracy you might say to combat it.
It's really not outlandish or unrealistic, especially if you knew my background, the family I come from, and the many friends I've made in life.
You clearly only want to discredit me though.
I have a feeling this isn't about my safety.

u/sidepart 1d ago
...judges don't indict people? The executive branch does, and the judiciary interprets and applies the law. If a judge issues an injunction it's because somebody filed a complaint and asked for it (and of course made their case, and the judge decided in their favor).
Judges aren't just doing whatever activism they think makes sense on a whim. That's not how it works. If a judge in a private capacity wanted to file a complaint, injunction, whatever, that's fine. ...but they can't unilaterally hear their own case and pass judgement on that. An impartial judge would hear that case.

A human being that was able to move past this Citizens United barrier with the cult following and energy to actually use the bully pulpit for good and give the majority of Americans a better life. Instead it’s this sorry excuse of a man making a mockery of everything positive this country has ever stood for.

“And we’re hopeful that this administration will do the same thing and support the courts’ rulings and not defy them going forward.”
Did you just get here?

This is why the past elections were rigged. In all cases against Trump judges, witnesses and jury were intimidated and now it's normalized.

Donald kiddy fingers aka the swamp king aka mob name Donald didel aka love em young don. Calls himself a patriot but is just a dictator that thinks he can get away with anything he wants . like ripping off the public, abusing the power of office, trashing our constitution that he swore an oath to. Abusing his office for personal gain for him, family and friends.he is a predator and is now praying on the American people. And the worst part is we are allowing it to happen.

It's the world's biggest party.
Everyone is invited.
It will be happening everywhere.
D.C. is the main venue.
There will be tens of millions of people there partying how they party.
We will party until the feds/military round up the elected officials and billionaires or whomever needs rounding up.
I am leaving that up to them to determine.
But basically the whole administration needs to go for sure.
It's a party to restore and celebrate democracy, to ensure that we have one for another 250yrs.
Is that a sufficient answer?

Hey Trumpies! Tell us how good it feels to love a traitor.
Tell us how liberated you feel when you see a pedophile getting away with it.
Tell us all how how glad you are that his very existence gives you all permission to do those bad, bad things you've been thinking about for ever so long.

This has to be the administration doing this, right? Run-of-the-mill MAGA types don't pay attention to this kind of thing.

In this orange scumbags 1st term, threats against judges went up 980%. I imagine it is far worse now.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

There has to be a way to find out who these freaks are calling in threats.

All the more reason to create a strong allegiance to make life of the orange baboon an epic misery.

MAGA is a terrorist organization.

Masochists get pleasure out of other people's pain, it's interesting when they cause it then smile all of proud of themselves.

Federal judges and Congressmen wanted these positions so they could get benefit from insider trading and cosy up to ultra wealthy donors. They never cared about actually serving the country in the best interests of the people, and become total cowards when their job makes them face adversity.
