This is all on purpose. Trump is running Hitler’s playbook to seize power. He’s destroying the gov on purpose, to force some kind of crisis. Once the “crisis” comes, Congressional Republicans will give Trump “emergency powers” which he will use to get rid of any opposition.
It’s a generic nationalist, populist, and authoritarian playbook. We like to mention Hitler because he’s the worst of the worst to the Western mind, but there is a long list of awful authoritarians and tyrants who gained control of their country one way or the other by making the same promises, playing to the same fears, and dismantling limits on their behaviors.
Those chanterelles, tho.
Morels soon!
I hated the election itself, this bullshit is almost refreshing.
The FA state was stressful for me, the FO is pretty well outlined. The only think left to ponder is do we ride this all the way to eating rats in the street, or is Bernie and AOC gonna clink up on a bear and ride it into battle leading us pitchfork wielding folk into, well what would happen next? New Consitution? New Laws? Obv thing’s don’t just ratchet back 4 or 20 years and all debt is left stable.
Kinda wish I payed more attention in history, but I don’t think we had this kind of detail back then either. kinda like the image on this post :)
I feel like the current constitution is pretty good, add an amendment that all people deserve housing, food, water, shelter, and medical care and that it’s the governments responsibility to provide these.
And massive election reform.
Yeah. The 2 largest issues as far as I can tell are electoral college and gerrymandering. Those 2 would do wonders to basically allowing for most other reforms.
Add in ranked choice voting and I’d be happy for constitutional amendments for a bit
Bernie is like 80 let’s be real here. AOC will be the leader if anyone, bernie can play support like the wizened wizard he is
Ohh fuck yes, but I want the misogynists to listen. I hate them, but we’ll need them.
As long as you collectively sitting on your bums waiting for some distant politicians to help you, you will be all the way fucked.
Dude, you want level of fucked, his GOP approval rating poll is still at 60%.
We’re probably as close to a civil war as we are pitchforks.
Sooner or later MAGAs will realize that the ass-raping they are getting isn’t the gay guy standing over in the corner.
One can dream
I just want to find mushrooms in a forest
Well you’ll still be wanting to do that when the supply chain breaks down and you don’t know where your next meal will come from.
It’s a skill I’ve been building
There are communities for that across Lemmy that could use some extra activity:
You’ve reminded me that I should be contributing more too. I want to see these communities more active.

Wild greens, berries, fruit, tubers, flowers, pollen for dough… the world is SO edible!
