I’ve been calling the current government the Nazi regime and the people that still support it Nazis for about a year and a half now.
This includes family members sadly, I just call them nazis. They don’t like it but I don’t back down because I’m not wrong.
People have been saying this exact thing about him for ten years and he keeps violating it.
If you’re into this Sarah Longwell’s book is a pretty funny, fascinating, page turner. I can’t recommend it enough.
Aww yeah first time I’ve seen the bulwark on lemmy! Can’t recommend them enough, Sarah’s latest book is a fascinating explanation of what’s going on with us voters, I highly recommend reading it if you want to understand the insane contradictions in the US populace
Yeah well fuck it everyone needs to go vote no matter the conditions.
Being afraid is a guaranteed loss.
This comment deserved more attention. He is going to go nuclear before his term is up. He needs to use that power, it’s in his dna to want to touch that stove.
100%, I like the new trek but not enough to support fascism.
Yeah the physical limitations to this are massive.
I expect them to try, I don’t expect them to succeed.
He can’t do anything.
There’s not enough military personnel to lock down election sites, the whole thing is too distributed, states conduct elections, and everyone who is mad is so mad they will be voting.
Furthermore any boots he deploys to enforce some kind of emergency are going to juice turnout against him so hard I almost hope he tries this shit. It won’t end well for him.
You don’t need to look for the keys that you hold in your hand.
So we were all worried about securing the border but uh maybe we should be doing more to secure “the most powerful military in the world”?
I’m glad I cancelled paramount plus a while ago
Cool so funnel taxpayer dollars into musk companies, musk installs backdoor order 66 into weaponized ai and robotics systems that are mass produced, musk replaces US with the garbage empire and installs himself as emperor.
Am I missing anything?
Yeah totally everything happening now is just a final cash grab from a way of doing things that is doomed to the dust bin.
Sustainable energy tech is on the rise and will continue to get cheaper, fossil fuels cannot compete with this in the long run.
The word allegedly is going to need a long vacation after this government is gone.
Hey I didn’t say it would be easy, you’re right there’s a ton it’s doing.
Rebuilding what it’s doing though wouldn’t take 30 years, they’ve figured out the requirements which means a startup can start fresh and build something even cleaner that works full on premise but seamlessly leverages cloud services if you want them for backup / recovery situations in the event that your on premise systems have a failure.
I don’t know anyone working on this but the fact that it would be hard means it’s actually not easily replicable and would be a good business for a startup to capture. The value prop is high for companies, if they could save a huge amount of money on licensing and get improved operational cost without sacrificing what they get from on premise it would be worth it.
It would definitely be hard to get companies to switch but the potential savings and country independence parts might be enough to make them interested in paying the switching costs.
Sounds like there’s a startup opportunity here.
This is it exactly. It’s not necessarily the form of government you’re running, it’s the elites that are running whatever form of government you have.
The only thing that has ever kept elites in check is a people united and willing to do whatever it takes to fix it.
