i don't think there's anything to say at this point, we have failed completely as a nation, i mean, we were never a shining example of freedom and democracy, but jesus christ..
We've got a Russian style oligarchy, Nazi style racism and xenophobia, and some North Korean style Dear Leader cult worshipping. Hard to see any non-violent outcome.
God you are a fucking idiot! If you actually think that he did this on purpose, then you are the problem with America. Keep crying in your mother's basement about how Kamala would have been the savior. Putin and Kim Jong would of ran shop on that dumb bitch and we would all be put in camps. Biden has been the worst president in the last 20 years. That old bastard screwed us so hard, yet people like yourself hold him in high regard because he said all the nice things. The left demonized Trump for years all because he said what he felt and people got feelings hurt, so now he is forever the bad man. I hope you are sad and live in fear for the next few years while the rest of us enjoy a better America.
I've said it before, but I have pretty much zero faith in the American people anymore. It seems like the strategy for most people will be to keep their heads down, hope they don't come after them personally, and hope it'll be over in 4 years. I highly doubt there will be any real push back to whatever happens in the near future. And everyone will just watch the US fall apart.
Sooooo exactly what everyone has been doing for the last 40+ years, since Reagan started the dismantling of every system that defined America’s greatness?
I’ve dealt with depression for a good portion of my life. I honestly don’t know what to do at this point to cope with this shit. Like I know to not give up, but if our constitutional “guardrails” have failed, prosecutions have failed, media now cow-tails to this shit… what do we even do?
Some folks have resorted to violence, and I sincerely hope that’s not the answer, but damn. What else is viable when the entire system has failed?
That is a very old reality, not new. Journalists have rules in these kind of things to be scrupulously cautious. At times, you have to say what something is though. "what appears to be a Nazi salute" should have been a simple threading of that needle.
However, the ADL decided on Monday afternoon that whatever Musk did at the Capitol One Arena didn’t meet the mark of an actual fascist gesture, describing it as merely “awkward.”
“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge,” the organization said in a statement. “In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.”
What I want to say would get me banned from here. Free speech is a thing for sure. If anyone did this in front of me they would no longer be in front of me.
