There is one upside to Felon 47 being gone; he is currently the lynchpin of their entire strategy. There is currently nobody in the GOP that as charismatic, as greedy, and as corrupt as Mango Mussolini (and thats intentional on his part, he didn't want any competition). When he finally croaks (which I hope is soon), the rest of the party will hopefully be too busy stabbing each other in the back and scrambling to grab onto whatever scraps they can.

The Heritage Foundation, MAGA, Proud Boys, Turning Point USA, and the Republican Party...these organizations have but one purpose: to destroy representative government and install tyrannical rule with fear, slavery, and death to those who do not conform. Resist this evil to the utmost and with every fiber of your being!

The US has no laws with teeth against people with more wealth than many nations; it clearly has no defence against the very foreign interference in elections that it has taken delight in being involved in itself. Every tenet, every phrase, every sentence of the US political structure is based on a simple idea - regardless of how, the people in power are ultimately trying to make the country better, for everyone. It has no escape valve for when that isn't the case.

To really fix it, that Electoral College nonsense, gerrymandering, political appointments of judges, the capitalist capture of government, and allegiance of church & state will need to go too - which is why it'll never happen, sadly.

It's great and all to call out the obvious flaws with our system. But these same flaws have been pointed out countless times by Dems when in power and not. When Dems controlled Congress and the Presidency as a whole.
What came of it? Nothing. Dems in power just maintained the status quo. The party whose spines were an optional option whose box was NOT checked at conception.
Mentioning it is great. But will something actually be done about it? Doubt it.

Exactly, Trump is not an anomaly, he's the distilled essence of decades of Republican beliefs. It's easy to see how we got here: Barry Goldwater, continuing through Ronald Reagan, and ending up today with Donald Trump.

I wouldn't even put Goldwater in the mix because he warned us about the crazy religious right and their thirst for power. Sure, he was a hard-nosed libertarian in the classic sense, but not a greedy, power-hungry conservative.

The good news is that, thanks to the internet and massive media attention, more people than ever are aware of how fascist the Republican party has become. Now consider the unimaginable relief, joy, and rush to make things right so many people are going to feel when he finally kicks the bucket - especially younger people with so much more to lose - and I think things will get better sooner rather than later. It still may take a decade or so, but we will heal and become stronger than before.

Typical left. Can you guys express any political views without hoping and wishing death on someone you disagree with? I mean come on. You never hear anything like that from anyone even slightly right of center, but left is “kill him die die die, I can’t wait, going to celebrate”. Praising attempts on peoples lives. Look at Kirk. Cheered the death of a respectful conservative who tried to bring people together. Sick Yet y’all are the party of tolerance. Think about that for a second.

mindstorm8191
We need to hit the oligarchs where it hurts: Their income. We need to strike, and the longer the better.
But we can't do that until we have systems in place that can carry people over for a while. We need to organize local communities so that they can pool resources as needed to support everyone in it.
The first step is to get to know your neighbors. See what their situations are. Help them - even now - where you're able to.
chuckaholic
Germany had a pretty bad fascism problem. They completely fixed it. It took a lot tho. I hope we can fix ours without having to go through all the same steps.
JetrelPixelArt
Yeah. What it will remove is the keystone holding the whole works together - the public support. Our task in the meantime is to conspire - build a large network of people willing to seize and exercise power.
We've been losing because the left hasn't been doing what the heritage foundation has - spending multiple decades conspiring to force OUR vision of the future on the country and the world. "If you're not at the table, you're on the menu." Grab the wheel. Dream big.

One of the main reasons the left hasn’t been doing that is because the vast majority of the money is on the right. The Herages Foundation and The Federalist Society can afford to buy every Congress member for the next 200 years.

The solution to that it is incredibly simple. Plata o pluma.
judyblue
I don't think AOC, or any of the other people making similar statements, are saying there's no point to removing Trump. She's pointing out part of what put him back in the White House is that so many people acted like Biden's presidency would just undo the damage. There are still people who want to get America "back". Going backwards just puts us on this path again. We need to start designing and building a new country and stop longing for a perfect myth that never existed.
UserNamesArentEasy
True, people need to be aware that there isn't just one head to this hydra.
gobblinal
The government needs a completely separate organization that's designed 100% to make the government RUN. This means making sure that when the government tries to do something illegal, then it's actually ENFORCED and STOPPED until the problem is fixed. And this can't be "part" of the government so that an Executive Order destroys it. It has to be completely independent. It'll never happen.
judyblue
I'm pretty sure that's called "the public". But one of the problems is scale. It's a lot easier for the residents of a small town to hold their corrupt mayor accountable than for the 340 million people in America to collectively hold the entire interconnected federal system accountable.
Because if it were any other organization besides the public, then... who watches the watchmen?
gobblinal
I'm talking about an organization that ENSURES that all Federal elections are fair, that districting is ungerrymandered, that the representatives elected actually DO THEIR F'G JOBS, that moneys allocated go to the right places, that reporting is done properly. That if a fascist dictator tries anything then they are IMMEDIATELY removed from office for violating rules, laws, and the friggin' Constitution. But I'm Canadian, so I have a different view of the US political system.
judyblue
I know what you mean, I'm just saying, who then ensures that organization does its job? Who do THEY answer to? It's kind of putting a hat on a hat.
That is exactly what the role of the public is supposed to be in a functioning democracy. The people are supposed to elect a Congress that *would* immediately remove a fascist dictator. The courts are supposed to *enforce* lawful orders. But once corruption takes hold, it spreads. The US was corrupted long, long ago.
5m4llP0X
First they need to fix the impotency that exists in the DNC. The leadership who are hamstring people like Hoag, Zohran Mamdani, AOC, Frost, and hopefully Grijalva, need to go. The backers of Cuomo all need to go. Kamala, while I voted for her, is still a damn cop. The DNC needs real liberal leaders, not this "we're just gonna ignore the voter base and do what we feel is best" crap. Also "DONATE! DONATE! DONATE!"

Honestly the future is in the kids. Millennials were born under Raegan. We watched how the world, and wars worked under their leadership. It created a counter culture of tolerance inspiring grunge music, and bent our generation left. The kids are seeing what ICE is doing in their neighborhoods, and on TV. This is how you radicalize a generation for a lifetime.

Project 2025 writers, the Heritage Foundation, are the devils that are actively working and succeeding to ruin our democracy. Trump is just a symptom of their work.

I'm afraid to ask what "fix the supreme court" entails.
pvtsquirel
So is the supreme court
pvtsquirel
I'm kidding we just add more seats... or do we...
TheTomeWyrm
Absolutely. Multiple reasons.
First: The Supreme Court actually has very little constitutional power. Nearly everything they've got now, we agreed to give them.
Second: If Congress makes a new law SCOTUS has to weigh in on the new law. Congress can also make more or less seats in the court, and impeach justices. The Legislative is the most powerful branch, on purpose. It's SUPPOSED to represent the will of the people.
psmith00
this cannot be upvoted or emphasized enough. Trump is not the problem. he is the symptom. he is the poster boy, the distraction, the autopen for all the Executive Orders the guys in the back room have been writing up for him to sign. he and his MAGATS are the shock troops being used to destroy the public's trust in its government.

I get a lot of blowback for saying that focusing on Hitler as the evil of that generation means nothing if you let the entire social structure and culture that fed him be ignored. Hitler didn't kill 12 million people. The people and infrastructure that supported him did that.

if he were to suddenly drop out of the picture all that would happen is that Vance would step into that role and he'd be worse than Trump because he would be able to just take an order without any manipulation. he would realize that if he messed with the agenda they would replace him with someone more willing to take the orders as presented.

Why not make voting day a national holiday, so people can ACTUALLY go out and vote instead of taking 2 hours off work, or having to drive back to their hometown to place their ballot

We should change it to voting week and everyone should be guaranteed a paid day off for the purposes of voting during that week.

Because workers have to work on holidays. Until we make it illegal to continue non essential services on holidays, this solves jack shit for workers. We need early voting, universal mail in voting, and robust protection for workers to leave work to vote.

Democrats/Liberals/Progressives tend to be more self-defeating and corporate trained apathists than stupid.

And Americans are going to have to get off their asses to make that happen. They had their biggest protest in US history recently and it was barely even 2 percent of the population, for barely a day,in response to their country being a hop and a skip away from going full fascist. That level of collective apathy is what enabled USA to go in this direction from the beginning. Other populations around the world have collectively engaged to maintain/protect their democracy. Americans need to as well
Cruxia13
The US has been built to ensure that doesn't happen, though. For most people taking a day off work to protest means having to cut back on food because they live paycheck to paycheck, yet 2% was willing to do it anyway. Going out twice means not having enough to pay rent instead. There's not enough financial security for people to be able to protest back to back and still be able to survive, and if they're screwed either way most people will choose a tentative roof over their heads.

PinkyTheUnicorn2
When an entire party is complicit, I don't see how it gets fixed. The Republican Party has essentially decided that laws and the constitution are secondary to power, and have abdicated all of their powers to Trump. Republicans in Congress should want the power of the purse, they've given it to Trump. They should want to stop blatant corruption of the President via crypto and gifts? They've allowed Trump to have them. They should want a Supreme Court free of influence? They've allowed it.
PinkyTheUnicorn2
(2) We have one party in this country that is beholden to a shitty system reliant on political donations, many of whom (but not all, sadly) who want to change that system. Then we have another party in this country who will disregard any law or any right if it means they get more power and wealth. That is not sustainable.
PinkyTheUnicorn2
(3) Meanwhile the right has seized basically every information outlet Americans will ever see: cable news, broadcast television, every major social media site and app. They can spread disinformation and misinformation to confuse and outrage the public against Democrats and any reform candidate. The level of actual knowledge of the average american voter about the state of our political and civil system is absolutely abysmal, and getting worse. How does that change?
PinkyTheUnicorn2
(4) meanwhile our actual electoral system is, statistically, the least representative of any democracy on earth. The Senate, where a Senator from Wyoming representing less than 600,000 people has the same power as a Sen. from CA representing 50m is laughable. They choose SCOTUS, federal judges, all appointments, and impeach the president. That can't be broken in any meaningful way that I see.
The only solution I can see is a general strike, and with the right's stranglehold on info, how?

Canada had one, but we didn’t elect her. She was sort of tossed under the bus when Mulroney stepped down.

Canada never had colonies of its own as far as I'm aware, so I wouldn't call it a "white colonial nation". UK and France have definitely had women in charge, though it looks like France has had a female PM but not president. England had a reigning queen before it became a colonial power in the first place, though, and multiple women as prime minister over the years. Spain has not, so I was wrong about that, but Portugal and Italy have had women as prime minister.
