Today April 14, 2025, the United States officially becomes a dictatorship, as the President of the United States openly refuses to obey the Supreme Court.

Sad, sad day…

    He’s openly talking about shipping US citizens off to a foreign prison; if there’s ever going to be a cause to rise up over, it’s this.

      The time to rise against Trump was before the election. Because frankly, unless you’re willing to risk being shipped off to a concentration camp without due process or worse, whatchagondo about it now…?

        I mean, I agree with you on principle, but that’s like saying “The best time to rise up against Trump was 2016.” Yes, but also we’re well past that now and a ‘We should have done X’ attitude isn’t going to solve any problems. Better to look forward and consider what we should do now.

          Yup. The best time will always be now, because conditions will just get worse, opposition will just get more fractured, and Trump will just get bolder every time he gets away with pushing the line.

          This has been the narcissist’s playbook for forever.

          I agree with you that you can’t change the past and you can only change the present - and that’s it’s not terribly constructive to say coulda-shoulda.

          But honestly… It takes a particularly dim-witted individual to vote for Trump the first time, and a complete and utter moron to do it again the second time. It’s not like nobody could see any of this shit coming, and anybody with an IQ above room temperature knew this was gonna happen. That’s what’s so damning!
