Not at all. Political enemies of the Trump clan will be checked and balanced at every turn.

And then have an out-of-body experience where you watch yourself doing that from the outside.

Look on the bright side, we'll have so much raw data from the worst-managed possible country-sized control group. Except that they'll probably react to attempts to document the results of their policies with book burnings and witch trials. Well, maybe we can smuggle in some camouflaged researchers or just watch the obituaries or something.

That's a very narrow grouping you draw there. Because in that group you are describing, the democrats got the most votes bar none. Nobody in that narrow category got even got close.

If that were all she had to offer, then you'd be right. If, however, purely hypothetically, she offered to actively combat price-gouging, for example, that would benefit the vast majority of people at the cost of the usurers' theft profits, which should net her the support of the vast majority of the electorate. Only one example out of many, which Fox will duly be silent about while focusing on HER ONLY BEING A DEI HIRE DO NOT TAKE IN ANY OTHER INFORMATION KEEP PARROTING THE DEI HIRE TALKING POINT FORGET ABOUT ANYTHING SHE ACTUALLY SAYS OR STATES ON HER POLICIES! DEI HIRE! DEI HIRE! DEI HIRE!

Nonononono, you mean "a day of love and peace" where they patriotically, PATRIOTICALLY have a tourist walk through the broken barricades.

Did you watch the permanent 24 hours news cycle where they painted her as a radical lunatic marxist stupid DEI hire out to destroy the country and take away everyone's everything too? It is hard to overstate how crazy out there their propaganda is.

Everybody calm down!

What are a few decimated scapegoat minorities and a strip-mined ruin of a planet as long as the economy is fine, eh? I repeat: The ultra rich oligarchs' unlimited access to regular people's money is not in danger. In fact, the rich will probably be allowed to drain every last drop out of their victims now even more than ever during this administration. Time to rejoice! For some anyway!

You seem to be wrong. Donald Trump didn't demand better and he didn't lose. The more pro-genocide party objectively won.

But then the poor would run the country instead of a handful of unimaginably rich individuals! What kind of democracy would THAT be?

Remind me again who made the decision to go down this path as a country? I have 76 394 853 suggestions.

But there are easy solutions for these problems now getting to the point where shit will hit the fan uninterruptedly and overwhelmingly: blame the Democrats.

There. Problems solved :D

Oklahoma has much bigger numbers in the rankings there. USA! USA!

Yes, I hope you can take this time to internalize a lesson: you should not support genocide or genociders.

Sorry, what exactly is the lesson to be learned from this election, in which the candidate who more vocally supports the genocide won? As in, showing more support for the genociding party and demonstratively siding in all points with the genociders with not even rhetorical pushback, just pure endorsement of the genocide? Which lesson will analysing this election yield again?

The caricature of her that Fox&co-conspirators presented was certainly terrible.

Consume!

But EA clearly know how to rake in money with the yearly version of SportsGame 2021 2022 2023 2024. They are expected to make just as much cash by releasing the exact same movie every year. Who knows, maybe they'll add microtransactions.

Technically, the US also has protections against wannabe dictators claiming they are above the law: a supreme court which, were it not undermined by that dictator's toadies, should shut that shit down in a second. Still, there's a difference between blindly following everything that court makes up out of thin air and supporting the actual rule of law. Same with democracy.

Being called socialist isn't even the issue. My point is that a news monolith has spent decades radicalising half the country and at this point there are enough cultists that will mercilessly tear down anybody Fox&Co paint a target on. Until there is a solid defense against such a hate machine, no party will flourish on its merits as long as Fox-drilled stooges will only be fed a caricature of any opposition Fox designates as the enemy. Even your perfect ideal candidate would lose the election. The boogeyman Fox would paint them to be would be so repulsive and half the country would never even hear their ideas anyway, except what skewed perspective Fox would blast the viewers with 24/7.

Counterpoint: anybody not cheering for Fox News' talking points sufficiently enthusiastically is declared "socialist" and all but suggested as target for public lynching (or in some cases actually the target of a lynch mob storming the capitol) and the masses have been drilled into going berserk at hearing the right keywords, regardless of what happens in reality.

Calling an attempt to break this information monopoly over half the nation an uphill battle is the epitome of understatement.
