I voted and organized against Trump for years. Americans voted for this.

a lot of people do feel checked out. even with news engaged. americans are unsure if covid (even after it slapped them in the face), global climate change, are real. americans have been under the trump firehose for years. i think a lot of people have spent their energy on tracking the ice nazis and trump's dismantling of institutions, and are basically just gawking at the worldwide traffic collision right now, believing it far enough past their own nose to be something that happens "way over there." americans feel this way about other american states, even. what the heck do they care about iran or greenland. may as well be venus or mars.uziq wrote:
and where's the opposition in the united states? kind of crazy MAGA elected a 'no more wars' president and now he's about to put boots on the ground in iran ... where's the clamour? where's the street protests? poof. this situation is really, truly bizarre. everybody seems checked out.
earlier in 2025 trump was screaming about an energy crisis in our future. self-fulfilling prophecy.
i meant the democrats and actual opposition. not saying you haven’t registered opposition at the grassroots level. where’s the great leader of the opposition holding all this to account? or is it an imperial presidency without a peep from the bipartisan divide?SuperJail Warden wrote:

The American system doesn't really have a 'great leader of the opposition' at any time until after the primaries, then its all a charade in a 1.5 party state with both sides owned by jews and billionaires.
Fuck Israel
The bigger problem is that the Republicans fully support what is happening, but will be able to pin it on Trump when he dies.
Fuck Israel

this really is the decisive end of the american empire. they will never recover from this episode with iran.
creating a global energy crisis and proving themselves incapable of achieving their goals militarily. then alternating between begging and goading their former allies into fixing it. ‘now it’s your problem’. yeah, that’s not how imperial hegemons act. it’s over.
even germany are proposing ducking out entirely from all ties to this conflict, sending american troops home from their bases, and making a deal with iran.
and japan, korea, taiwan, etc. who are all feeling the brunt of the fuel shortages much sooner than any westerner, are inevitably going to be drawn closer into china’s orbit. at this point it’s existentially necessary to do so.
‘no more wars’ trump has decisively removed america from global pre-eminence by … starting a war he has no ability to finish.
china won by doing basically nothing. what’s that old sun tzu line about never interrupting your enemy when they making a mistake? the hubris and all-round unbridled machismo bullshit of MAGA trumpism has done for the yanks.
