From my country, it’s just surreal to watch the lack of reactions from Americans. It looks like they mostly support the actions of the co-nazi dictators, a really bad picture to say the least.
Those that support Trump kinda do. These people are selfish enough to hate anyone else because their lives are kinda shit and they’re too stupid to understand why. America has been headed towards this point for a long time.
The left is highly disillusioned due to DNC shenanigans to block any real progress on the real problem of inequality. So there is no opposition. It is a really bad picture to say the least.
People wanted Putin in at first too, no? Didn’t he do the whole “I’m the strong man who will save everyone and only I can do it” kind of bs like Trump, then once in gutted everything in order to consolidate and maintain power also kind of like Trump?
I’m actually fairly ignorant on his initial rise to power, so please don’t be too hard on me 😅
He took way longer to do it, but that’s a good summary. He left office because the prez could only serve two terms but had congress transfer most of the power to the prime ministership and he got that job, so they had a puppet president for 4 years. Then they said he just can’t serve more than 2 terms consecutively so they restored the power of the presidency and he returned to office and they modified the constitution to remove the two term limit and here we are.
yup. but putin was young. trump is old and aging fast so the direct applicability to the US is limited.
at this point that’s the only nice thing. putin’s old, trump’s old, xi jinping is old. At least twp of them go out of commission in the next 5 years.
Imo, the problem with Trump isn’t Trump himself becoming dictator. His years are numbered, thankfully. Him possibly irrevocably consolidating power in the executive and installing sycophants throughout branches will really fuck our government up, however.
That said, you can definitely see where Trump gets his inspiration, and it sounds like Putin had direct inspiration from Hitler’s rise. Nifty!
yup, trump’s a symptom not a straight up cause. his demise is expected to be the least consequential of this “elite” trio, as he is already getting sidelined without consequence. Old, virile trump would have fired musk a month ago.
Ironic how people shat on Russians for not standing up to their government only for the US to do the same.

DNC really dropped the ball. Biden should have never even considered a second term, and there should have been open primaries.
I shit on 'em both.
I read that in the accent of the French soldier from Holy Grail.
Nah. We wanted trump in.

When will the boomers fucking die already?
Putin also did red flag bombing on an apartment complex so he could justify going to war in Chechnya again.
