I did misread that, but you know what, that's STILL wrong.

Sure you didn't have "this shit" under Biden, but you STILL had massive suffering.

If you didn't, Trump 2 would never have happened.

@jztusk @juergen_hubert @pluralistic
the worst thing Americans do is dismiss political insights from anyone who isn't ALSO an American.

Sorry, everything I told you is absolute facts. Stuff that are verifable and testable.
Things that provably happened.

If the democrats had hung on to the house or the senate it would have made ZERO difference: The Trump admin has only passed a SINGLE bill !

Just one !

Literally EVERYTHING else he's done has been on ENTIRELY with executive, NOT legislative power and WITHOUT congress getting a say.

The people who COULD stop some of it, who DID stop it before: Elon fired them all in the first month.

So this time what's left of the civil service is stuffed entirely with sycophants who happily do whatever Trump wants - regardless if it's sane, sensible or legal.

Now you have an EPA that considers profit impacts of regulations but does NOT consider how many lives it would save.

Now you have a labor relations board that is effectively unable to function.
A CFPB that's been basically neutered.

This time the craziest of the crazies in America knew he COULD win, and they were ready to provide the infrastructure to support his vision and destroy the infrastructure to oppose it.

That is what is REALLY different.

I will tell you why the 1st Trump term wasn't as bad: because nobody thought he would win.
The nutjobs had no infrastructure to make his insanity come to fruition. The civil service was filled with people who are employed for skill, not loyalty, who refused to implement outright insane or illegal ideas.

It was, overwhelmingly, NON-politicians (let alone corporate ones) that prevented his worst instincts happening.

In 2024 - with the real possiblity of winning there was Project 2025: and it's most important clause: mass firings in the civil service and politicising non-political posts.

There's an old saying: when people fear their government, that's tyranny. When government's fear the people: that's freedom.

This doesn't mean you should be a violent threat to the government (at least outside of rare and exceptional circumstances: violent revolutions very rarely have good outcomes so are almost never worth the risk), in every normal moment, every politician needs to be extremely afraid he won't be there after the next election.

That's the only way to get good leadership.

And no, corp dems had nothing to with the relatively less damaging Trump 1st term.

I've been listening to #HeavtMetal and playing #DnD for almost 30 years and I've never summoned Satan.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
