  1. As for the enabling act he is already pushing for him to be able to do appointments without senate conformation, that is one step behind the enabling act.
  2. His own VP called him Hitler, look I get Trump's perfect weapon has been a gaslight, a grading on a curve. The Left warns that he is Hitler! He behaves like Franco and then they go see! you were wrong! I am so fucking tired of people getting wood about them thinking they know who Trump is, that they know... that they know when he is lying and when he is telling it like it is. Trump may not be Hitler, but that is because we work around the clock to defeat him, it is no thanks to either his supporters or his professors here grading him on a curve. Yes I can see key moments where he does not get Hitler like powers, like the military bargaining allegience if he terminates his paramilitary (oathkeepers/proudboys et al). However a Putin like dictatorship is still painfully obvious because YOU feel smug that at least it was not a final solution.
  3. That is like taking solace in the fact that earth is 4 billion years old and will go on without us... thanks I guess? that 250 year history also works against us, they want to go back when women could not vote that is only a 100 year old thing.
  4. Why are you so against the analogy? it might not turn out that way because we will fight like hell but the slide is irreversible, remember the poem? in his first term he went against foreign immigrants now he is going about internal immigrants, even legal immigrants, there is an undeniable slide into neo nazism that people have to be hyper vigilant about not just go gee wizzz like Biden did.
  5. This is dumb and naive, inflation is a direct cause of people having more money because of COVID subsidies, businesses immediately adapting to rising demand by raising prices. This continued after subsidies were cut and this is when things bit, where Biden drowned us for good. That Biden did not go to war for renewed subsidies and instead went "ahh shucks gee wiz republicans blocked me so I am going to be above it all", is the abosolute #1 reason dems lost the presidency. An infrastructure bill does create a trickle down effect, but if you hypothetically give a trillion dollar handout then that exact trillion goes into groceries, spending et al, and prices rise.
  6. I still think the democrat party needs to surrender to the Bernie wing of the party, Maga are lunatic psychos, but the election was lost by poor swing voters who could not make ends meet. That and a dangerous abandonment of Gen Z specially the men. We need to do something about the psycho wing but that is still 45% of the electorate, its not why the dems lost, whoever we still need to do something about the crazies democracy can't die when we live on a knives edge about runnning perfect candidates, luckily populism also gives an edge to not being ultra high strung. Scream about poor people rinse and repeat and there is no way MAGA can pivot against it cause they can't
  7. Let it burn dude, I am tired of worrying about macroeconomic hypotheticals when we have clear and present dangers from the psycho party. Handouts for life now, no more austerity, ever!
  8. I feel like I am being held hostage by both the identity politics left and the misogynist right, A) this will do absolutely nothing about the pats on the back about "making history!" when we are about to be hearded into hell. I rather these people pay the same price we are all going to pay. B) If you are going to do this do it early in the campaign so she can implement handouts, not that she would have because she refused to campaign correctly.
  9. I don't really debate MAGA because you are incapable of rational thought but the GOP platform of deporting all illegal immigrants is the most xenophobic stance by the US govt since the 1950s.
  10. I know you are calling them hypocrites but let me rant: Yes socialism we need to stop being afraid of labels, the GOP is not, they labelled a centrist corpocrat a communist this election, it did not move the needle in my opinion, it was the same mouthbreathing lunatics that bought it but they also called Bill Clinton a communist. Democrats need to start getting off their high horse, stop trying to be responsible unless you can magically fix the extremely lunatic crazy MAGA fringe you need to become a populist 100%. At the end of the day I rather like in Kirchnerist Argengina, with a collapsing Milei presidency on occasion, over Nazi Germany.
  11. Donald Trump will have higher inflation, higher taxes on the poor, but will still not lose a vote if he starts handing out massive COVID style handouts, then the democrats will look like idiots not knowing why he teffloned it. Democrats have a very very very long history of austerity most tragically by Joe Biden, we need to completely burn that from our platform, we are now irresponsible but being irresponsible is better than people being herded to concentration camps. If the ship is going down it is for the party of austerity (aka the lying GOP) to fix it for once in their lives. That is how it works in the rest of the world and it works to keep nazism at bay. That is why I am bulllish about Musk holding Donny by the balls, let's hope we see him push hardcore austerity.
  12. It was my understnading that real wages went up so their salary went up by say $12000? I do agree that such a thing is small and pitiful, democrats needed to pump out subsidies, but this is a poverty issue if handouts were I dunno 2000 a year it would have mitigated this centrist democrat failure.
  13. I disagree the orange turd loves celebrity worship, it is his fundamental flaw. If that is all it takes to survive the next four years without a massive crime against humanity, then I am thankful whenever it happens. Am I pissed about the endorsement? yeah but it was weak endorsement and a last hour one at that, I don't think it moved the needle. That said I am also inclined to agree with you, Trump will be Trump
  14. Look I know I am not going to be liked for this but I don't hate Joe Rogan I don't think he is that bad we just live in a world with terrible hosts like Alex Jones and Steve Bannon, we need people Trump likes to moderate Donald Trump. If Rogan pulls it off I would still be thankful, just hope it is done day after day after day.
