In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

      I’ve been saying this since they let bush steal an election in 2000 and go on to commit war crimes without any repercussions. Or how Obama also expanded the executive branches power and authorized drone strikes on Americans abroad without due process (trump will use this in America, just wait). Or how Obama filled his cabinet with Goldman Sachs thieves and refused to hold a single banker accountable for 2008, and worse, bailed out Wall Street and let Main Street rot. Gee, I wonder where the support for trump initially came from. Can’t imagine. Couldn’t be democrats complete and utter failure to be an effective political party for the masses.

      Meanwhile, the rich got richer, the government got more powerful, and our lifespans have dropped from deaths of despair and most of us are one emergency away from homelessness.

      But yay! Let’s paint rainbows in the street, put pronouns in our bio and fly blm flags and kneel in congress wearing Kente cloth! (I’m queer so miss me with the hOmOpHobIc TrAnsPhObIc bullshit) That’s all the democrats have to offer anymore. Performative bullshit. They -just like the republicans - work to serve the capitalists that own them.

              I’d rather the United States dissolve at this point. I feel like I’ve lived under a dictatorship of capital my entire life and as someone who doesn’t live in a “swing state” I’ve had no say on federal matters my entire life.

              The US has fallen. It’s time for individual states to do what’s best for them. I want mine to leave and join Canada.

                in fact supporting the fall of the US makes perfect sense. of course you campaigned against harris in the guise of protecting gaza. so you could get trump elected. so putin and all the enemies of the US could profit from your treasonous actions.

                  I’m gonna block your dumbass, but before that, I’ve voted in every election including the primaries only to be told my votes don’t matter because of the electoral college. Our politicians are garbage. Red states are robbing blue states of our tax dollars while holding us hostage under their fascist values. Fuck that, let them suffer without our money.

                  The US was a failing democracy now its a failed one.

                you’d sacrifice the country in the dream that the individual states would not become little capitalist fiefdoms? apart from that quite a few states could not function on their own.

                why wait to become part of canada when you can just pop over the border?

                maybe you can find another way to get politically involved in the country rather than hastening its demise

                  You think your housing crisis is bad now, wait until there’s a bunch of American refugees coming over your border. That’s why I suggested making blue states part of Canada. You get our tax dollars we get your healthcare. You get our weapons we get out from being under a fascist dictatorship.
