    I honestly never thought I’d be rooting for the PRC over the USA… but here we are.

    These are very fucking weird times, fellow meatbags.

      This makes no sense bro. At least the US has a potential path to return to a different president/congress in 4 years, since it has a constitution that grant rights to everyone.

        Bold of you to assume that we’ll actually have elections in 2028, much less fair ones.

            Based simply off of your naïveté, I feel like you don’t live here, and that you don’t understand what’s happening here, or the context of what led us to where we are now.

              Yeah I am a concerned euro watching across the Atlantic. But the ideals of your founding fathers live on in your constitution and legislative branch, which can get the system back on track, right?

                Lmfao have you seen how feckless our “opposition” party is, and how enthusiastically the regime party is enabling orangeboi?

                I’m legit expecting the balkanization of the US in a few years. I’m not exaggerating. I was born here, grew up here, and live here. I’m starting to lay some groundwork for short-notice emigration to Europe. Our courts and legislature are effectively captured by the fascists at this point, who are also in charge of the executive branch. This place is falling apart in a meaningful way, and it’s going to get a LOT worse before it gets better - if it even can get better, and I’m not convinced it can.
