I just hope federal services (like applying for a passport) don't become Twitter-only after Trump appoints Elon as Secretary of Enshittification.

I've made a huge mistake breaking my personal rule to avoid all political content and I've regretted that immediately
Thing is, mate.....fascists rarely stay inside their boarders. This is going to be the whole world's problem in about 3 months.
Maybe for the rest of our lives, however long that is...
upside: maybe fashism will kill us all before climate does? yay?
With the fascist in power they're going to speed up the climate destruction
So maybe the fascist will kill us with the climate
yay?
I'm glad you guys are looking at the bright side of life 😊
🎶 Always look at the bright side of life.... 🎶
It's so bright I feel it in my retinas.
Tell me about it.
I'd rather eat rats and survive inside a hole in the ground in 45⁰C weather than die in a war, but that's just me.
Hey, no eating cute rats
Cute rats are more delicious because they are healthier!
NGL dying due to climate is definitely preferable to dying due to fascist hunting people like me
international us policy is very similar between republicans and democrats. you guys are already the whole worlds problem. 🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
im sorry but trump will be your problem. until the empire decides to turn up the violence dial again that is, which is something both parties do sometimes.
Trump wants adulation, not conquest. Push come to shove you can get him out of the oval office by making him figurehead Emperor, as long as it comes with immunity he'll accept.
On a scale of Mussolini to Hitler, he's like 250% towards Mussolini.
Cute that you think it'll only last for 4 years.
4 years if laws and constitution stay the same and are followed.. first term he had people alienated into him who were at least slightly appropriated for their positions, this time people who has nothing to do with their positions are being appointed simply for being loyal to him... Let's see if any of them won't let him do anything drastic within 4 YEARS
It’s more than 4 years. We just crawled out of Trump inflation and now are going right back in.
Dismantling and breaking is easy. They can do a lot of that in 4 yrs. Building takes decades.
There’s also a global effect. Would Putin have ever attacked Ukraine without a Trump term? How about Israel’s taking self defense into genocide territory?
America leads by example and the last example was an impulsive 3 yo with a giant military force and a dead diplomacy department in the executive branch. There’s permissiveness in that.
You mean head of DOGE? Because we live in the timeline where a terminally online edgelord with the brain of a 14yo and the body of a 54yo makes meme government agencies.
Anyway, get your passport now. They're good for ten years, enough to last at least through the tentative end of Trump's circus.
The new online passport process is unbelievably good
They better not ruin it
oh yah i just renewed using the new process, got my passport back in less than 2 weeks.
Narrator: they ruined it
Ooh, thanks for the reminder! Mine expires next year. Best renew it now before they fuck that up, too.
Just tell all your friends to do a passport. It will be ready if shit hits the fan and they must leave the country.
The fact that this is an actual possibility is absolutely hilarious.
