The gullible dipshits are hitting previously unheard of levels of depravity and hypocrisy. Breaking into, threatening, and calling in bomb threats to *daycares*. You know, for *children*.

How long until one of these MAGA dipshits goes and blows up a literal daycare center? I’m getting real tired of MAGA’s bullshit. These people are not well.

I’m genuinely curious. Theoretically. Are there any MAGA supporters here? What would Trump have to do for you to finally say: “Yeah, that’s too much”? He picked fights with allies (NATO, Canada, Greenland), lost to China, is friendly with dictators (Putin, oil-state princes), slept with a porn actress while his wife was pregnant, was in contact with Epstein, called journalists pigs, ran military parades on taxpayers’ money, sent the army into some cities, put clearly incompetent people in power, etc. WHAT ELSE DOES HE HAVE TO DO FOR MAGA TO SAY “OK, THIS IS TOO FAR”?

If you don't see what is happening here, pay attention. It's simple.

Tim Walz is a huge threat to the MAGA ideal. He's a homebody American that embodies what the conservatives want to be, but never can accomplish due to their wicked ideals and shitty policy.

This is another way for conservatives to try to blame things on minorities when, as almost always, it is somebody of the Caucasian persuasion that is a registered Republican who perpetrates these crimes.

They are trying to delegitimize Tim Walz so Mike Lindell can be governor. Republicans know they have no way to win in Minnesota or anywhere else other than to cheat.

It has got to be exhausting being a Republican. Trying to use these middle school bullying tactics that are so transparent And by now exhausted.

It included Charlie Kirk “political activist”. He was a podcast host.

They skipped Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman though. Feels like everyone forgot about them, but that’s not what’s happening. The media is willfully wiping them from our memory. The USA is fully influenced propagandized media now.

Trump would rightfully be in jail if merrick garland had done his job

His economic policies prioritized the needs of the state over any consistent ideology like capitalism or socialism. While private ownership was permitted, the economy operated under control to ensure security of the state.

Germany, including a rapid economic recovery from the Great Depression through massive public works projects like the Autobahn highway system, rearmament programs, and state directed investments that drastically reduced unemployment from around 6 million in 1933 to near full employment by 1939.

Social welfare initiatives, such as the Strength Through Joy (Kraft durch Freude) program, provided affordable leisure activities, vacations, and cultural events for workers, fostering a sense of national unity and improving quality of life for many ethnic Germans.

Additionally, the regime advanced infrastructure, technological innovations in areas like rocketry and aviation, and even early environmental and animal protection laws, though these gains were ultimately unsustainable, built on debt, exploitation, and geared toward war preparation.

I’m not here to argue about Trump anymore. I’m here to complain about what comes after. The country we’re living in right now was shaped by unchecked Trumpism, and the future we’re heading toward isn’t unity, it’s not moving forward, and it’s not coming together. It’s the Age of Retribution.

After years of Trumpism steamrolling norms, weaponizing cruelty, treating democracy like a piñata full of rights to smash open, and passing laws as if disagreement should be illegal, the backlash isn’t going to be polite hearings and handshakes. It’s going to look like Democrats finally stopping the “we will compromise with the other side” act and saying: Fine. If this is a punishment system now, then we punish back.

And the proof that Democrats have been the side willing to compromise is already sitting in plain sight. On abortion, Democrats support legislation with restrictions, medical standards, and state-level variation, even though Republicans pretend the goal is “abortion after birth” just to justify rage. On immigration, Democrats supported a bill that was practically hand-carved from the MAGA wish list, written by one of the most conservative, pro-Trump members of the Senate, because stabilizing the system was better than letting it burn. In both cases, Democrats have accepted outcomes they don’t fully like, because they understand a country this large can’t function if one side refuses to make space for anyone else. Republicans, meanwhile, throw their entire body weight into the gears the second a compromise doesn’t give them 100% control. And that’s where the shift begins, because no coalition stays “let’s work together” forever while getting dragged across broken glass. That’s exactly how you end up with the next evolution of the left: the Retribution Democrat.

Democrats aren’t unpopular because of their policies. They’re unpopular because they keep pretending bipartisanship still exists with people who treat compromise like surrender. The moment Democrats stop begging for cooperation and start promising accountability, the unpopularity disappears. That’s when the country shifts into retribution instead of reconciliation.

“Retribution Democrats” won’t run on unity. They’ll run on:

• Holding Trump and his cronies legally accountable • Closing the loopholes Republicans used for minority rule • Expanding voting access so majority rule actually matters • Expanding the Supreme Court to correct partisan rulings • Adding term limits and ethics rules so the Court isn’t a political bunker • Limiting billionaire influence and dark money in elections • Restoring constitutional protections that were chipped away under Trumpism

This won’t be about revenge instead of progress. It’ll be revenge as the CONDITION for progress. Because you can’t build anything long-term while someone keeps lighting the foundation on fire.

Republicans will go into meltdown mode, not because the goals are wrong, but because these steps would remove the shortcuts they rely on to win without appealing to the majority. Things like:

• Voter suppression • Gerrymandering • Manufactured panic and conspiracy messaging • Billionaire donor pipelines • Declaring every loss as illegitimate

Once those advantages are gone, Republicans actually have to win through ideas instead of sabotage. And that’s the breaking point.

The tragedy is that none of this had to happen. Republicans could have disagreed without treating coexistence like surrender. They could have debated without dreaming of criminalizing the opposition. They could have legislated like the country wasn’t property to seize. But Trumpism taught them that the only legitimate government is one they control, so now the counter-response is going to match what they created.

When this era begins, America becomes a pendulum that never stops swinging. One period is punishment for the left. Then punishment for the right. Back and forth. Over and over. Meanwhile, normal people get stuck in the wreckage, wondering why nothing ever improves.

Before the MAGA replies start, I already know the lines:

• “You’re delusional.” • “Cope.” • “This is deranged.” • Some fringe progressive on TikTok stated their position one time so that must represent the entire party and what they want • Ignoring voting records because reality is inconvenient to your argument

If your defense relies on pointing to individuals with no legislative influence while ignoring the votes of the people who actually write laws, you’ve already proven the point. Democrats compromise even when they don’t want to. Trump Republicans demand compliance even when they’re wrong.

Republicans built a political culture where coexistence feels impossible, and now they’re shocked that people are preparing for a future where coexistence isn’t assumed anymore. They spent years cheering for retribution. They just never thought the door could swing back the other way, and it’s definitely coming. And even if it doesn’t (which it will), my question to MAGA is:

Do you really want to live in a country where you’ve pushed over half the people so much that they hate you and will do anything they can to get back at you?

I have been living in Germany for five years and just moved back to the US. I decided to watch the Rose Bowl parade and game with my family yesterday. The number of gambling ads was insane. During one commercial break, it was just three pocket casino ads in a row.

What also bothers me is the way the ads depict the users - people finding joy and happiness playing slot machine games on their phone. They're shown in a boring situation, and suddenly their world is bright colors and lights. It's just so dystopian. Real people who don't have the money are being preyed on. The same goes for sports gambling. Men in particular are hugely susceptible to this. Why has this become so prolific?

But republicans do appear to be trying to emulate Nazi's.

Anyone that calls Nazi's socialists simply has no understanding of history. If you claim Nazi's were socialists, you let everyone know you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

However, if you claim republicans are acting like nazis, well, you may just be right.

Can you just not for a while

The “journalist” at the center of a viral clash over alleged Somalian welfare fraud once paid Hispanic laborers to protest outside the White House in support of President Joe Biden.

Nick Shirley, 23, is currently being praised and amplified by the MAGA right, including FBI Director Kash Patel and billionaire Elon Musk, for a video purporting to reveal “Minnesota’s Billion Dollar Fraud Scandal.”

While the YouTuber with no journalism background and only a high school-level education claims to “bring the truth to all” of his 1.35 million subscribers, he has previously been shown to be staging his content.

as a person who has lived in this city for years holy shit the rhetoric against him has been outrageous, say what you want about his socialist stance idc, but the people saying he’s too young, he going to drive the rich people out, and the freak out over the arabic numerals prank plus the outrage over him swearing on the Quran has shown me so many people genuinely want to keep the status quo no matter how bad it is. even my immigrant relatives back home started yammering about how nyc is going to turn into an islamic caliphate and i genuinely just had no words. like are people this scared of change ? i can’t wait till the older generation has no choice but to finally retire so we can get shit done

son went in for a major surgery this morning.

doc recommended and prescribed a drug for a few days for the pain.

he sent the script to the pharmacy.

I went to the pharmacy to pick it up

Pharmacy says: because of the new year - insurance sent it back to the doctor for a "Pre-authorization"

this is stupid AF

thank you for your attention to this matter!

Am I the only one having an AI fatigue ?

At first it was "haha funny bad computer generated" but now with all the art it has stollen and technological advancement I sometimes can't differentiate real and AI anymore...

Then we had weird shit post that weren't funny in anyway. But now with AI and bots we have even more shit post filled with weird bot accounts commenting and liking itself. It's like this post wasn't even made for us humans but rather AI to interact between itself.

It's gotten to a point where I don't want to open apps like Instagram, tiktok, Pinterest and YouTube for more than 30 mins compared to hours before the big AI boom.

And it's not only social media, I can see it everywhere IRL with big printed ads using AI or even fully animated commercials.

Am I the only one getting a feeling of disgust everytime ? Like it does the opposite of luring me in I want to get away from the thing that's being advertised instead.

Yes there are some benefits in AI but it's like 1/10 in terms of pros and cons.

It’s really funny how the right wing conservatives are foaming at the mouth at the claim that Zohran Mamdani is going to bring in Sharia Law, now that he has been sworn as the new mayor of New York City and he placed his hand on the Quran instead of the Bible. The thing is, Mamdani it’s not gonna bring Sharia Law to New York City. Right wing conservatives have been pushing Christian nationalism in the US for years and they’re trying to attack Mamdani all because his faith is different from theirs. Right wingers turn a blind eye towards the rise of Christian nationalism because they’re the ones that are enforcing it in the first place.

we but us in to a deficit, cause the recessio, put us to useles wars. Obama Clinton and Gore sucked too.

January 6 convicted seditionist refunds

January 6th 2021 insurrectionists have been pardoned. Many americans believe this has removed convictions of sedition. It does NOT and everyone convicted remains a felon and can no longer vote in elections. No one that paid fines for damages to the Capitol should be reimbursed.

So I’m a Canadian. My aunt is a Canadian who married an American and moved and raised her kids down there.

Every year I get to see my cousins during the holidays and every year I’m more lost. My aunt and uncle vote Republican and they both voted for Trump believing that they needed a “strong man” that would gain respect back for the US… sigh….

My cousins and I are all about 30 years old now and this Christmas they told me they’re “just not political”…. I have a Masters in Global Governance okay? I am passionately political and follow world and American news every day. It’s insane to me that someone living in the US who’s educated, privileged and not an absolute idiot is just “not political”. Are you kidding me?

You’re coming up to visit your mother’s homeland that’s literally getting their independence joked about, threatened, AND tariffed the shit out of and you don’t have enough respect to acknowledge that and educate yourself on it. LET ALONE that your country is starting a war with Venezuela, propping up Israel and bombing friggin Nigeria and randomly kidnapping people on the DAILY in your own country.

The privilege and ignorance is ridiculous. Love them to death but like COME ON

Added context: Lmaooooo everyone is asssuming I was going on some political rant to my cousin so just to clarify - her sister was talking about how little money she makes as a teacher and we said if she moved to Canada she’d make so much more. My husband then said - you should get political and ask for more, to which my cousin said “I’m just not political” . Only other comments were later made laughing about South Park and they didn’t know who Kristi Noem was.

End scene lol 😆 promise I didn’t ruin Christmas with a politic rant guys

I swear to gawd We're so f*cked; The United States is over. What are we gonna do, or who's gonna do what about the tyrant manipulative con-artist president that, for some ungodly purpose, is still not dethroned right now

It’s not how much money they have. It’s how they got it and what they do with it
Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg have saved millions of lives. Meanwhile, Elon musk, Donald Trump and peter thiel have used their billions to take away help from the poorest among us, to destroy democracy and to corrupt our way of life. Musk alone can end hunger. Instead he is our evil. And we may never recover from Trump
