Jesus fucking Christ. I swear that there are bots to repost the exact same thing you post.

This is NOT the time to harp on that particular thing.

Those people are going to be some of the easiest potential allies to make, and this is an all hands on deck situation. We NEED them.

Posting this shit benefits the people opposing the idea that the comment is supposedly trying to support.

When he's done with the Palestinians, his love for the Jewish people and Israel will evaporate.

I read today that one of his secretaries said that China had miscalculated, because China exports roughly four times as much to the U.S. as the U.S. imports to China, and he said that that makes the U.S. a lot stronger than China, that it would give the U.S. a better bargaining position.

That's like a wealthy family in a small town saying they can outlast the grocery store if the grocery store decides to stop selling food to you.

I mean, good luck with that...

Yeah, he just gutted the VA along with everything else.

To my knowledge, no such “uncoup the coup” drill has ever been conducted.

Why would it be expected that you would have knowledge of such a thing?

Have you ever been to the U.S.? We can't all drive 3,000 km. We live in a country with drastically lower population density than European countries.

The U.S. is pretty much as big as Europe.

It's not easy to drive thousands of kilometers to get to their mansions. These marches happened all over the place, in major cities and capital cities.

I haven't been banned from Reddit.

I want Lemmy to succeed because I want to interact more with people who are not from the U.S., and I don't want to use platforms from the people who were sitting behind him on inauguration day.

Since Elon feels that he can interfere in Reddit and since Reddit seems open to letting that happen, that's a good sign to me that I should limit my use of Reddit and should use alternatives instead. Lemmy seems to be the most Reddit-like of those alternative platforms, so here I am.

They predict -3.7% if yesterday was somehow the end of it, but we know it's not.

-3.7% would be a dream compared to what's actually likely.

The possibility of a situation like this is why people never succeeded in repealing the second amendment.

And whether or not we agreed with that fact, it is likely to have some effect on the situation now.
