It seems to me that Republicans and the Christian Nationalists they are in bed with are going to be immovably pro-Israel. How do we prevent our government from participating in this genocide as these new politicians take power?

    Pray. That’s all you have left.

    You think he will ever listen to you even if you demonstrate?

    You’re going to enjoy a medieval monarchy, and more than half of the country either wants it or can’t be bothered with it because they have better things to do.

      Yup. Average Americans are going to lose so much of what little power we had over the next handful of years. Hope we’re all happy we chose this for ourselves.

      You know, Republicans have long been the “thoughts and prayer” party. Are you saying that we have now become the COUNTRY of “thoughts and prayers”? Dammit all.

        Nuh uh man. I’ll have you know America has its own proud history of racism. This will be our distinctly American flavor of nazism, replete with cowboy hats and an aww shucks attitude

        Doomerism doesn’t help, but doom is what we’ve chosen.

        We gleefully voted for it, in fact.

        Time to suffer.

            I applaud you. Have fun attempting to turn the majority of Americans into responsible, educated voters. Especially while Republicans, who now control our government in its entirety, work to dismantle our public education system, which they literally ran on doing.

            Here comes that doomerism…it’s over. We had a chance, and we completely dropped the ball. You don’t have to believe me when I say we’re in for long-term decline, just remember that some guy on Lemmy told you a handful of years from now when the decline is obvious and it’s clear that there’s no end in sight.

            This was a pivotal moment in U.S. history, and we failed the test.

        Excessive optimism reduces pressure on making things better
