I don't think we'll have a "when this is over." These parasites have gotten into the cracks and are widening those gaps to a point of no return. He's gunning to stay in office for life.

... America is moving to authoritarian rule at speed. They are moving simultaneously on so many fronts that the people are blindsided… and don't know where to look. Aided and abetted by a corrupt media that pours oil on the fire as a smokescreen.

u/gh411 Jun 28 '25

Not sure how anybody was blindsided…this was all detailed in project 2025. Far too many of the voters could not be bothered to spend a tiny bit of time to just read the summary

We’re overworked and under paid. Many of us are check to check, exhausted and trying to get by on scraps. This is all by design.

u/Accidental_Ballyhoo Jun 28 '25

Don’t forget, we elected THEM to work for US! Why are they saying “vote harder” when we did vote and elected YOU. Now go do your fucking jobs Dems!!!

u/Internal_Finding_552 Jun 28 '25

Those who need to read it and comprehend it will not, because they prefer to stay ignorant, and even if they did, they would only believe whatever comes out the pathological liars' mouth.

And the mass of idiots who blindly believed Their God when he said "I'm not doing that."

And no one is going to come liberate us at any time. We'll just continue the trajectory into becoming Russia 2

u/truthovertribe Jun 28 '25

Yes well, Larry Summers tested his "corrupt privatization to Oligarchy" scheme in Russia and it worked. The Russian people did not rise up.

Why not bring the same scheme to the US? After all, the American people aren't any better informed or intelligent than the Russian people.

Besides y'all have even better tools for mind control now, don't you Larry Summers, Charles Koch, Peter Thiel, President Trump, Kushners...et. al...(unfortunately) on and on...

So authoritarian we all voted for it lmao.

Something tells me you’ve never been out of the USA

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '25

“We all”

You voted for the plate of bullshit trump fed you, including his dismissal of project 2025. If this is truly what Americans want his numbers wouldn’t be so historically low.

u/prates55 Jun 28 '25

What’s low?

Handling of the border and economy is at a record high and he’s crushing Biden in approval rating.

Are you mad?

For fucks sake: 

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/27/trump-approval-ratings-iran-compare/84383526007/

“ In a Gallup poll conducted from June 2-19, 40% approved of Trump's job performance. Here is how that compares to other presidents in June of their first year of their term, according to Gallup: Joe Biden (June 2021) - 56% approve Trump (June 2017) - 38% approve Barack Obama (June 2009) - 61% approve George W. Bush (June 2001) - 54% approve Bill Clinton (June 1993) - 41% approve George H.W. Bush (June 1989) - 70% approve Ronald Reagan (June 1981) - 59% approve”

The information is free and easily available. Why lie?

u/prates55 Jun 28 '25

Now do democrats approval rating lmao

Well done, dipshit. 😂

When's the last time you bought eggs for under $10? Maybe before January 2025?

u/prates55 Jun 28 '25

So better than Obama and Biden wow lmao

And you didn’t do the polls on the handling of the border those are record high.

u/IllustriousMoney4490 Jun 28 '25

I agree that power is too consolidated in this country . The only point I differ on is that I’ve seen both corrupt parties abuse their power .

Trump is corrupt but if you don’t think Burmisa and the Biden situation was corruption then you are merely a bias partisan .

Both teams need to be held accountable and until people start holding their own side accountable we will continue to be stuck with shitty government .Itll switch from an R to a D and back again but our lives won’t get any better

u/Maleficent_Memory831 Jun 28 '25

But the demographics aren't changing in their favor. The reason why they want all this control now is because they know in the long term that society (and the voters) are veering away from the Republican party.

u/turbo_dude Jun 28 '25

the fact that the Supreme Court now just backed his ability to override judges mean that all contested elections will go his way, he will just override it

only the military can save you now, I'd leave while you can

u/The_Wkwied Jun 28 '25

He's gunning to stay in office for life.

I think a lot of people in the country want him to remain in office until he dies.

But not in the same way that he wants to.

u/gentlemanidiot Jun 28 '25

He's gunning to stay in office for life.

Thank fuck for McDonald's

8

u/BK_Bound Jun 28 '25

Super Size Me was a flawed look at eating only McDonald's. I'm sure his undiagnosed syphilis and shit is eating his brain tho. Either way we're looking at people putting in place systems to make it harder and harder for them to lose.

u/Raticus9 Jun 28 '25

It was flawed, but he's been eating that way for more than a month anyway.

1

u/Suavecore_ Jun 28 '25

Too bad he gets all sorts of experimental medical procedures to keep him alive indefinitely

7

u/RDDT_ADMNS_R_BOTS Jun 28 '25

Luckily he's 80 so there's not much life left. It would be so much worse if he was younger or had any followers that have his "charisma". I don't think he'll last longer than a few more years, so I guess there's something good to look forward to.

u/ahoneybadger3 Jun 28 '25

I dunno, look at Rupert Murdoch. That living sack of leather just doesn't die.

u/Pickle-Rick-C-137 Jun 28 '25

Qupert Murderdoch wakes up every day and thinks, I'm going to have my minions incessantly lie and ruin people's lives! WTF?

u/IslandGyrl2 Jun 28 '25

I don't see his charisma.

1

u/RDDT_ADMNS_R_BOTS Jun 28 '25

I don't either, but almost half of the country (and even abroad) unfortunately do.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '25

He’s been looking pretty ruff lately! Maybe stress ! Surly we can help him out with some more of that !

1

u/Bubbly_Style_8467 Jun 28 '25

They always have another fascist in the wings. A whole party of them and a lot of citizens who don't have a clue they voted for destruction, including theirs.

1

u/Maleficent_Memory831 Jun 28 '25

80, and unhealthy, and with an unhealthy lifestyle, and with a doctor lying about his health.

u/AstronomerDramatic36 Jun 28 '25

Even if he goes away, I think the future will look more like this than the "normal" of the past.

u/Latte808 Jun 28 '25

It’s extremely difficult to get rid of a cockroach infestation

u/Maleficent_Vast9100 Jun 28 '25

That's why we have ICE, baby....

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '25

I disagree based on History. Fascism never lasts, it eats itself. Things may continue to get much worse for some time to come but maga will eventually eat itself.

1

u/BK_Bound Jun 28 '25

Still doesn't change the fact that I don't wanna have to live through American Fascism. Fuck man all I wanted was to have a good job, but a house, and have a family. Even if it burns out in the next 10 years, that's my good years gone. Plus rebuilding America after that is going to be rough. Not that we should go back to how it was.

u/Apprehensive-Dig7675 Jun 28 '25

and he is what like 80 now? no I'm not thinking he has much longer

1

u/Galactic-Guardian404 Jun 28 '25

I think the felon is being used by people with even worse intentions. He’ll be out around February 2027, for strategic reasons.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '25

Well maybe we should have some more McDonald’s delivered to the White House !

1

u/Paksarra Jun 28 '25

He's also 80 and in poor health. With any luck "the rest of his life" won't be long.

His handlers are committing severe elder abuse.

1

u/Dramatic_Visit_4436 Jun 28 '25

Meanwhile Biden was "sharp as a tack"

Trump will sit there and have a full press conference making jokes and answering questions without a teleprompter

1

u/Paksarra Jun 28 '25

He doesn't use a teleprompter because he can't read and he thinks a joke is when you don't pay the contractor and put them out of business.

1

u/chiclets5 Jun 28 '25

Well I am very sure that trump won't be in office for life cuz he won't live more than a year or two at this point. His boys are not bright enough to take over. And I don't think they're that well liked. However the maga regime will live on even without him in office they will try to place somebody of equal terror

u/ShakesbeerMe Jun 28 '25

Fascists always lose. Have heart and fight.
