If the USA's ability to destabilise the world reduces with Trump's presidency then I suppose that's a silver lining to the fascist hellscape he's creating

It's nice to see the grip loosen, never thought it would happen this soon. Unfortunately this leaves leaves openings for Russian and Chinese influence where the U.S. hegemony is receding. I'm doubtful it's a net positive, but that's just my American perspective

Yup, Canada saw it as a warning shot, we were down that same path with a guaranteed Conservative victory on our next election, with a candidate who was just a Trump wannabe.

Trump has single handedly opened up the eyes of alot of complacent Canadians. The crazy becomes alot more apparent when we are being attacked over fictional things, then they realize maybe it is all just fictional made up stuff, and the pieces come together.

Patriots are in control 🫡

Honestly kinda funny seeing Trump destroy the US Empire.

I'll admit this presidency is going way better than I expected in the destroying the US Empire front. And I had some pretty high hopes.

If the goal is total collapse, I don't have much hope.

At the end of his term, (assuming he doesn't worm his way into getting more than 2) the next administration is just going to pick up the pieces and do their best to keep the current elite in power. :/

The problem is the current elite is the government, the administration. The way things are going, i can't imagine the Trump administration even organizing something towards elections in 4 years.

He said, no one will ever need to vote again.

The ruling class is still the bourgeoisie, the state is not above the base.

Keep going. At this rate every country is going to see massive protests of the US military bases and embassies in their countries in like a month.

we might actually stand a chance 🥲

Capitalism has sustained a self-inflicted injury

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Let's hope it's not like 2008 and this one is fatal

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Here's hoping the USA falls and doesn't get back up again

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It couldn't happen to a more deserving empire.

Maybe we'll even bring a few other illegitimate colonizer states like Israel down with us.

Should I start drafting my apology video to the accelerationists now?

Trump: “ guise, you can open factories in the US…”

The World: “don’t make eye contact with the crazy person”

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago

When you try to use only sticks and no carrots, people don't do what you want, they just avoid the crazy guy waving a stick around at everybody.
