As far as the SCOTUS has said, he can do a lot more than firing, which is my biggest concern…

Lawrence Kohlberg’s theory of moral development comes to mind for me. A lot of people get stuck at authority or social contract. It requires deeper levels of thought and consideration to expand your circle of care.

Hey, thanks friendo. I abandoned my Reddit account for Lemmy’s pastures. Much slower over here, but corporations are ruining everything…

I do hope the infighting causes inefficiency and inability to make good on some of these promises. What appears to be coming is a rapid nose dive for the US, both economically and socially. A crippled middle class is easier to control, especially if they corrupt UBI or something to save themselves (see Captain Laserhawk).

Democrats are far from perfect at the moment, but at least there’s a semblance of importance for education, diversity, democracy—people like Vance or Elon promoting “Dark Enlightenment” is the type of philosophical thinking that could absolutely destroy us.

I hate holding out for the mortality of humans, but some people truly bring pain and suffering at scale to this plane of existence. It all seemed so hopeful not long ago.

I’ve been reading the Bible if only to quote this stuff before I’m hauled off as some sort of corrupting bisexual philosopher who votes socialist. I wish these people believed in what they feign to read…

This kind of rhetoric is abhorrent in the public sphere. It’s a further erosion of social norms and expectations of leaders in society.

This election, unfortunately, validated these behaviors as acceptable. It makes me gravely sad for the US.

Exodus 20:13. I know they don’t care about their own book, but it’s terrible how far so many people have drifted from our sacred connections between humans, whatever that means to you. Killing one another cannot solve our problems.

I wonder if this is the establishment throwing an obvious problem actor under the bus in order to say, “Look we’re doing something!” It can’t be that hard to find a replacement for Gaetz who is better aligned with the party’s values (on the surface, at least) with less problems. He was an easy target, because he was gloating to congress members about these acts.

Also, he’s a miserable person who should see justice for this shit. Whether it happens in America… different story, unfortunately.

This might be true, but it’s not aligned with the posted article: it highlighted how Latino & Asian voters went to the right because they saw the democrats as ineffectual and as Trump spouting rhetoric instead of legit policy. It also noted how older immigrants saw “new immigrants” as somehow ‘worse mannered’ than them.

The GOP strategy has long been “block Dems” in order to make the federal systems look ineffectual at helping: that’s what happened, at least to these voters in this article.

It’s 4 years until the next scheduled bullshit, whether that’s a third term, eradicating the constitution, or bringing about the end of America / the west / humanity. We could all go up sooner, but I expect Bo Burnham’s “7 more to go,” to somehow be right (came out in 2021, so 2028 seems about right).

We lost freedoms during Bush, carried on by every president since. I guess we’ll see what happens to the machinations next…

Thanks for the updoots & the fish. Hope it was a good ride.

Yeah, I don’t mean to be pessimistic, but given all the knee bending, I don’t have much hope for the next 4 years and beyond when it comes to freedom. I don’t think most MAGA people have respect for the constitution or law & order. That respect seems to be eroded.

Thanks for playing! Glad it was wasted. Go study capitalism & tell me about the price of jeeps. 🤓

Google chicken wars. Stop wasting time, troll.

The tariff establishes the market floor. Trump can enact tariffs without congress. It will be setting the economy on several market vectors.

If you don’t know how it works, don’t post troll content. #NotFeedingFurther #BrandolinisLaw

Interesting that the beast is said to have seven heads in Revelation. There’s also 7 Trump Towers with his name on them:

• Trump Tower, NYC
• Trump International Hotel and Tower, Chicago
• Trump Towers, Istanbul
• Trump International Hotel and Tower, Toronto
• Trump World Tower, New York
• Trump Towers, Sunny Isles Beach
• Trump Tower, Manila

I’m a UU, so I don’t fully subscribe to the Bible as perfect and wholly divine or authoritative. But a bunch of people are wearing red colored Satan hats with a slogan on their forehead while voting for an adulterer, glutton, slothful, raging, envious, greedy, prideful “politician.” This man is so departed from Christ… I don’t get it, besides lies, propaganda, and accelerationism.
