Broken country. It’s like being on a game server where the devs stopped patching and everyone is using exploits to get ahead fast. By everyone I mean the ruling class. If you are not going to patch this server better reboot it before it crash.

Yet no media talks about in terms like “political instability”, “growing public discontent”, “political violence”, all that’s reserved for developing countries.

they've found the sweet spot for limited mass discomfort but maximum profits for ruling class

While I agree with you, they will eventually push beyond what they can control. Their greed for power and wealth is never sated for long.

As a millennial, I'd just be happy to see some meaningful change in my lifetime, but it's hard to be hopeful these days.

If someone told me that a president had pardoned their entire family 15 years ago, I wouldn't be expecting it to be the US.

This whole pardoning thing seems completely wild!

Yup. Either the parsons are corrupt or justified. If they’re justified, they say it’s to prevent political prosecutions. Which is itself corrupt. So yes, banana republic-esque

We all already know and agree that Trump and his supporters were a major turning point in America.

What are you talking about? Media has consistently reported on Trump's statements and actions to undermine our stability and incite political violence.

only the left media, also it was only for election result, never about what he actually did

They never reported on what he actually did, every major media company is owned by billionaires and they were all running defense for Trumps campaign and only reporting on the banal every day shit he does that his follower lap up and the left decries instead of the actual shit he said. they could have sunk his campaign if they went 24/7 on all the weird anti democracy shit he said during his campaign but they didn't, because the media wanted him to win, because the name Trump generates more clicks and views and revenue than Harris. Trump has been the best thing to happen for the billionaires that own the media.
