Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States. If I think our country is in danger, and it is in danger in these cities, I can do it"

Guy has dementia and is sundowning.
Nkechinyerembi@reddit
Dementia... Potentially congestive heart failure, he's clearly getting IVs daily. The guy wouldn't fucking be alive if he were not getting the best healthcare america has to offer.
whoknewidlikeit@reddit
because daily IVs help heart failure.... how? adding fluid improves heart failure? love to hear this theory. since i'm an internist with a focus on heart failure and pulmonary hypertension management.
dietsites@reddit
1 sitch where it might help is IVs w/ is acute right ventricular (RV) infarction presenting w/hypotension, low r-sided filling pressures (as long as clear lungs) IMHO, he's getting Amiodarone over and over. (cardiac arrhythmias)
whoknewidlikeit@reddit
no he isn't. because amiodarone has one of the longest half lives of any drug in existence. a single 900mg loading IV dose is still around months later. the half life AVERAGES two months, meaning it's not gone for ten months. from a SINGLE DOSE. NOBODY EVER gets multiple IV doses in a brief period - like daily. know how many times i've seen someone get more than a single IV dose of amiodarone? never. in 28 years.
i've spent many years doing critical care. your assessment is tremendously and severely flawed and i recommend avoidance of dr google.
dietsites@reddit
Yr putting words in my mouth / never claimed anyone was getting daily amiodarone infusions. Citing x how many years you’ve worked isn’t proof—just proof of your particular perspective.
Amiodarone’s half-life is long, but in complex cardiac, VIP, or elder care, repeated IVs are reality—for breakthrough arrhythmias, oral intolerance, or non-hospital mgemnt. Outpatient / home infusions exist, especially for the ultra-high-profile; not everyone’s care fits the standard lower class inpatient mold.Severe, chronic hand and vein damage doesn’t require daily IVs merely repeated access over time, especially in older patients, which creates lasting changes well documented in vascular/ geriatric med.
I doubt your a boutique guy, so yr “I’ve never seen it” argument just highlights limits of yr own experience, not the boundaries of medical reality.
Before dismissing facts, check specialized sources and remember: your practice is not the universe.
Pea-and-Pen@reddit
Let’s don’t let him off that easy. Biden had dementia. Trump has dementia on top of being an all around horrible person.
Kowlz1@reddit
There it is folks. He says people want a dictator. He’s creating his own military units to suppress civil unrest. He was excited at the prospect of starting a war to delay elections. He says he can do whatever he wants because he’s President. This is what we’ve all been holding our breath for,
sziehr@reddit
And Americans will do exactly nothing. That’s the rub, people kicked a king out of this country by force and now we welcomed him.
Takemyfishplease@reddit

jjohnisme@reddit

We don't stand up for ourselves because we are David and the oligarchy is Goliath.
And we have no sling.
And we are malnourished.
onlybeserious@reddit
Nah. We don’t stand up because we have something to lose.
It isn’t until we have nothing left that we will fight. And I hate that just as much as you.
I too have a mortgage and a kid and a decent but modest job that affords me the necessities plus a little bit of fun. But eventually these things will go too and at that point I’ll join the streets. For now, I have to save, play, study and rest while I prepare for the worst.
Right now is the best your life is going to be for a while. Swallow that.
Nofnvalue21@reddit
Awesome! They just gave 150 billion to "ICE" and he's creating tactical national guard troops to quell civil unrest. Sounds like the perfect time to fight for your rights! Rather then.... say.... now... while they try to vet and foster the fascists fucks...
hera-fawcett@reddit
the regime is smart enough to know that. theyll let things deteriorate, continue suppressing rights, put the masses in continual flight or fight, make sure they have just enough to survive on--- but they'll make sure to keep things liveable.
they covered the ceo murders so quickly and easily bc they dont want us to see how easily things could devolve and change if we worked to do so. theyre using that carefully cultivated apathy that theyve been sowing the pasr two decades against us.
sort of like in the movie, chicken run 2, lmao.

can_a_mod_suck_me@reddit
Yep.
Magickarpet76@reddit
I am gonna stop you right there. I think there is a chance they actually may not be. Sure there are think tanks and smart people behind the scenes, but if there is one thing I have at least some confidence in, it is fascists are incompetent. We are currently coasting on the momentum of the 50’s to 90’s economies as those generations are still alive and they own homes etc. When climate shocks, famine and other systems collapse for good I think you may be wrong. The bread and circuses won’t keep up. This may be exacerbated by other countries clearly developing past the US in ways too obvious to cover up.
The real question for me is, will technology (drones, AI, nueralink, or whatever) be able to prevent the revolt this time.
AtlQuon@reddit
What if the US will control internet access and what you can see and read? It is not that far off to think that they will make it very difficult to even get the info and what you don't know can't hurt the government. Don't forget about the illiteracy rate, what you can't read, can't put you on other ideas.
Same with travel, what if they make it near impossible? Most Americans never lease the stated regardless, limit a few more and you won't see what is out there. I feel covering up is going to be child's play. People are essentially locked into being financial hostages so they won't revolt either. How many defend everything against their own interests now?
I feel the visible layer is dumb as what, or at least pretending (orange is just dumb, that is clear), scapegoats for those behind that are very smart. There is something very sinister going on. I felt something weird when I lived in the US in 2010, something that made me question my sanity if I was not starting to become paranoid. I have not had that in any other country.
What is going on now has been brewing for a long time and they are cooking up the perfect storm. Pretty much the scenario; if you don't revolt now, you'll never will. Fascists always overshoot and will make mistakes, but it can take decades before it falls and the damage will take an easy 50 years after that before it is undone. Unless something happens, the US is in for the long ride down.
hera-fawcett@reddit
this is on the way in several countries, including the us. id verification to access content. and, tbf, its already sort of happened w porn-- several porn sites had to pull out of diff states bc of id laws. and, ofc, the mastercard/visa game controversy w steam and itchio (taking down nsfw, lgbtq+, etc games).
this is already happening to enter the us-- social media checks. theres a p large chance that itll take a bit to implement away against leaving the us but im sure its on the way.
u are absolutely correct. something similar happened in germany as well-- by the time the avg person was being affected they were unable to leave and instead had to keep their heads down to stay... normalish.

Dirty_Delta@reddit
I've heard people complain about lack of medical care as a reason not to get involved, so I dont think there will be a fight if everyone is afraid to get hurt.
Amerisu@reddit
If you have a mortgage, you might have skills and resources to emigrate. If you have a kid, you definitely have a reason to. Especially if you have a daughter.
We rented out our house and emigrated. Exactly because of the reasons you mention.
AzureWave313@reddit
Words of truth. Once enough of us have nothing left to lose, we fight. But the powers that be know that already, so by the time we’ve lost everything, the surveillance state will be in place. The drones will be in place. Autonomous killing machines devoid of empathy will be in place. Palantir will have their “one big beautiful database” on all Americans. If it takes too long, it will be too little/too late and that’s the thing we need to swallow.
nighshad3@reddit
Sorry but isn’t the sling thing the whole point of the 2nd amendment? Idk buddy, but I think no one in the world is believing Americans are malnourished. Stand up for your right - get off of Reddit and organize protests.
aedallas@reddit
Goliath was likely a geneticly ill, could barely walk, and could hardly see according to modern biblical historians and David was the equivalent of a sharp shooter. We've lost the context to time
hustle_magic@reddit
Great analogy. Trump is equally sickly and inept. So the parallels are there.
Horror-Writing@reddit
Yeah, but he isn't going to be sent into battle and treated as a one man battalion...
aedallas@reddit
Modern historians say that he was expecting a pvp battle as was the custom
agent_flounder@reddit
Well given how little of the old testament is supported by archaeological evidence, I would say Goliath was probably only a myth.
And the original point is, the billionaires have us right where they want us. If we have too much to lose we won't fight back en masse. It's when too many have nothing to lose that things take a turn.
jjohnisme@reddit
I am admittedly not a religious scholar. Thanks for the clarification. I had meant the above in the modern interpretation of the fable, where Goliath is a beastly giant and David is a weakling.
A_R0FLCOPTER@reddit
Fuck your mortgage. If you can’t spend the time protesting a corrupt government, because you can’t afford to pay a bank for your house. THAT’S YOUR REASON TO PROTEST. It’s your RIGHT to stand up against this bullshit.

This is useless without a sufficient strike fund to financially support those on a sustained strike. I can't risk losing healthcare because I have dependents who need specific medications I can't otherwise afford. With that big of a number they're aiming for, it would need to be a substantially large fund, and i don't see anything at a glance through the page that they have actually thought things through.
Nofnvalue21@reddit
Don't worry bud, give it a little more time and you'll lose that too, but we'll all be fucked
Effective-Macaron-58@reddit
People want to jump straight to general strike but don’t want to lay the groundwork to unionize their workplace and build a strong union culture.
Kodekima@reddit
That, and I guarantee you that almost nobody has a strong enough mutual aid network to support such a strike. We lead such isolated and individualized lives that we don't even know our neighbors.
Striking is the last, final step once the foundation has been laid and solidified.
Short-Carob-8711@reddit
Okay, with all this being said, what is the first step I should take as an individual and then perhaps we could all follow suit? We need solutions not reasons not to act. Please.

maraemerald2@reddit
Step 1 is make friends with your neighbors. And not just “borrow a cup of sugar” friends, you want these to be real “I’ve got your back and you’ve got mine” friends.
coladoir@reddit
establish relationships with your neighbors and people in your community. Once done, Try to set up networks of mutual aid organized decentrally. Then, or simultaneously, try to connect with co-workers, and convince them to start or join a union. If the union is co-opted, try to get people to oust it through voting, and start a new one.
You can find guides on this online from syndicalist groups, and anarchist groups.
Correct_Patience_611@reddit
Well since we no longer have collective bargaining rights thats a problem…so we need to figure something else out. Also in my state there’s several unions over 50% MAGA. We are upside down right now.
And they know we need to work, many of us have dependents, diseases, and rent/mortgage to pay for. This is all done on purpose so that social order can never be challenged without VERY LARGE SACRIFICE. Unfortunately the country won’t get better for decades bc of what this admin has done. It will take trillions just to get it going.
People will have to see the benefit of revolution will outweigh the costs to start it, like missing work or not getting medication. Many are medicated just to be able to work.
BlackRoseKing10@reddit
So I can quit holding my breath for any revolution anytime soon then? If we can get a General Strike off the ground what change can we even make.
CodentFL@reddit
I think the people calling for strikes all the time are in fact AstroTurf.... I bet it's foreign influence because there's so much people can do more effectively than to constantly be calling for a day of strike.
heronsfast@reddit
Can you share more about these more effective ideas? There are lots of people looking for ways to take action. Let's give specifics to start working on.
CodentFL@reddit
here's one, spread the word about corruption: https://www.latintimes.com/five-alligator-alcatraz-contractors-are-linked-corrupt-dealings-report-reveals-588725
heronsfast@reddit
I'm not clear on how raising awareness of yet another bad thing that's happening is more effective than collective action.
rkesters@reddit
I think that is the point of the original comment.
But what if by not risking it, you guarantee it being taken from you.
It is the fear of the loss of comfort and the belief that somehow the good guys will win, which allows the bad guys to succeed . There are no superheros , no devine messiah , coming to save us; there is just us to save us.
....
But I understand, I don't want to risk losing all that I have built for a sliver of a possibility that I could make a difference.
I'm going to go pet my dog now....
Chief_Mischief@reddit
I get that, but that means we need to set the groundwork for a functioning union and labor movement. Asking for donations and spamming discord links without information on how you as a signer of a strike card will be supported is just lazy planning. The FAQ literally states it was just two friends who made the website after the overturning of Roe, and that it's a decentralized network. So effectively every state is presumably on their own to organize their own. I'm fine with joining a union so long as it's not this knee-jerk afterthought of an effort.
If I'm not only sticking my neck out, but also risking the well-being of my family, you damn better have something more than a "we are angry and join this network of discords that we aren't using to coordinate with one another for mutual support"
LeseMajeste_1037@reddit
Exactly! I like the idea of a general strike, but I'm still going to have to eat several times a day and will have to pay rent.
IDontCondoneViolence@reddit
The user above you said medications. Not lifestyle. There's a big difference there.
heronsfast@reddit
Here is the link to the national strike fund from the General Strike US website: https://gofund.me/576d7a55
I think the important first step is spreading the word so we can get as many people on board as possible. On an individual level, we can prep as best we can with an emergency fund, but what we really need is to be building community--friends, family, neighbors--in part so we can support each other through a huge lift like a strike.

One day general strikes have been proven highly effective in other countries. It places immense pressure on politicians but no more than 2 days a month are needed
Count_de_Ville@reddit
Useless to who? Why are you discouraging people from the effort they're making? Because that effort would be inconvenient or detrimental to you personally? The world doesn't and never will revolve around you. If it's too difficult, you don't have to participate. And you shouldn't feel guilty about it either if you cannot because of your circumstances.
Chief_Mischief@reddit
Okay, guarantee the financial security of my family and the ability for my partner to get her medication, and I'll join the strike. All strikes live or die by the ability to support those who are risking their livelihoods and lives. And nothing here says that you will be supported; instead, it's heavily implied right on their FAQ page:
Okay, "trouble" is obvious. So what does it mean for you the striker if you're retaliated against? After all, that was one of the major leverages unions had. Signing up for this is not the same as organizing a union - let's be clear about that.
Count_de_Ville@reddit
Sounds like you're only willing to join a strike if it doesn't risk your livelihood...
Chief_Mischief@reddit
Bro, that was a major reason unions were made in the first place. I'm not opposed to striking, I am saying it requires a great deal more than having a beer with your buddy and creating a website and discord servers to donate to, and then expecting 11 million people to just up and strike without any support to ensure they survive.
theothershuu@reddit
All fine and dandy, I cannot just no show to work. I will get fired. I have a good paying union job but the rules are in place to fire employees for missing work
Notaspeyguy@reddit
Sure, if you have a job that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I'm in healthcare, and people lying in hospital beds would get worse or die if we didn't show up. The absence of retail workers, software developers, construction workers, etc. poses no immediate impact to people's safety or lives. Not saying these people are not essential, but no one will die if T-shirts aren't stocked, the latest Android update doesn't come out, or another housing development isn't built.

Most people live pay check to pay check and are beholden to their local king. Thus, to the average American's courage to fight has been broken for awhile by the oligarchs that hold our health care, retirement, and mortgage payment in their grasp. Same crew that holds the puppet strings of said "King".

Definitelymostlikely@reddit
A sample size of 2000 self reporting vague terminology.
I’d like to reiterate. Most Americans are not really living paycheck to paycheck
roderick15215@reddit
So you argument position position is that most Americans (>50%) families have enough liquid cash on hand to lose their job and then make it for an extended period (>3 months) of time without being delinquent on bills or go into debt to pay them? Having equity in a house or a retirement fund you can cash out doesn't count. Raiding your kids college fund or having kids drop out of education also not a viable option.
Definitelymostlikely@reddit
And now you’re using your own personal definition of check to check. On top of switching to “how many families” when the initial topic was how many Americans.
The conversation is complex it is not “hey look at this article that affirms my beliefs”
Has some stuff gotten too expensive? Absolutely.
Is the cost of healthcare an issue? Absolutely.
But you can’t sit here and honestly say most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck when Americans have a very well known and documented rampant consumerism issue.
While labubus have net over a quarter billion dollars in the USA alone in half a year.
roderick15215@reddit
I set out a definition of check to check that seems reasonable. What is your definition of check to check?

I always figured it was similar to what’s described in the article you linked…..

Maybe if Europeans didn't welcome themselves getting neutered, they might have a chance to reverse some of the horrible laws coming down the pipeline in regards to your privacy, internet freedom, etc. and if you believe Russia attacking you, then a potential invasion. You are all slaves to a government and you have virtually zero say in how things happen. At least in US, we MIGHT have a chance, however slim, if violence is required.

Probably have to get to where straight white dudes start getting rounded up for something and then it might get the attention of the crazies up in like eastern Oregon and Idaho.

btw i mean fight as in well the 2A kind. a lot of people don’t know but LA has had non stop protests at ICE facilities but the media isn’t covering. compare it to the BLM movement you can see a crazy difference in how protests are on tv. Barely anyone has seen or even heard of the LA ICE protests.

This is all stuff the party has been working for. Five decades Plus since the Business Roundtable and subsequent groups made a long game to undo the New Deal and everything since.
The president just seized control of it and very ham handedly tried to do it all before it was ready. Which was a blessing, because we could have stopped them and then used that to get good politicians that would keep these guys out by instituting some reform.
But no, we responded with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and we're going to follow it up with Gavin Newsom apparently. Just a shit show with the opposition. I do not understand how people can still trust the establishment Democrats to run opposition.
So now their base is radicalized and the party is fully intent on fixing elections and making a one-party state led by a supreme leader. We have perhaps one chance to take it from them the next election during the infighting for Supreme Leader spot. If we go with the establishment's choices we are fucked.
I do not know why I bother.

Really, even at this stage, laughing your fucking ass off, that "both sides are the same". They'll be killing people in the streets and you'd still say it. Utterly worthless, unproductive, and shameful opinion to hold.

And you are proving exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about by coming at me like that. I don't even have the energy for a political rebuttal honestly. Just know I'm not an American faux leftist nor am I a re** conservative so what you are saying just sounds fucking stupid to me.

The commies have been telling them it's a class struggle the entire time, but here we are. Gov. Pritzker of Illinois gives great speeches about "resisting", but I don't see him putting his billions of dollars towards any meaningful change. They're all capitalists who don't give a shit how bad things get for us as long as their money keeps flowing. Look at all the companies that not only capitulated, but collaborated with Nazi Germany. Tale as old as fuckin time.
Their money isn't even tied to the greater economy, resources, or performance, but the stock market. Speculative bullshit. 90% of us are suffering, can't buy shit, but the numbers keep getting bigger. Their status quo hasn't been negatively affected, they're actually having the most lucrative time in their lives.
I'd say our saving grace would be Trump tanking the dollar by fucking with trade, but this is a global economy and the rich can just up and leave to more favorable locations, while we go all Thunderdome on each other over what's left.
This is their utopia.

The arrogance the DNC used to make Harris the nominee with no primary, and belief that they didn't have to offer voters anything beyond not being this guy is beyond insulting.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit (OP)
That's maybe a comforting thing to say if you didn't vote against him. The issue is Liberals didnt turn out to vote.
The only one you can blame is Biden for not dropping out sooner and those that didn'ttry to stop this. There was no time for primaries and they would not have been allowed to use campaign donations without a ticket holder.
hectorbrydan@reddit
4 plus months is plenty of time.
There was not a single challenger, this Gavin Newsom or pritzker could have stood up and said I want the nomination. And either one of them could have won it if they offered some reform. Harris could have even won it despite being the most unpopular possible choice if she offered some popular reform and attacked some of the people screwing us.
For most of this country's history the president was not chosen until late August, right about now, last week we would have chosen the candidate and the favorites usually did not get the nomination either.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit (OP)
No, it isn't. Not even close. The campaign trail is typically 18 months. The DNC 2024 primaries were Jan 23 to June 8. Dean Phillips and Jason Palmer ran against Biden who took every caucus. You're just making things up at this point. Biden dropped out July 21 and the election was November 5, 2.5 months later.
More info
hectorbrydan@reddit
Wtf are you even on about here? You don't think 4 months is enough time to have a leadership challenge? To a make or break election? That we should go with the bound to lose candidate because...
As I said they did it for the majority of this country's history I know it can work because it did work.
Elections lasting 18 months is a recent phenomena and that a good one. It is due to unlimited money in politics.
The question is why are you regurgitating the moderate establishment Democrats passing the buck excuses for failing the country again? Quite Preposterous ones at that.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit (OP)
No, the primaries are 6 months long on an 18 month campaign. 4 months is not enough time. You're making up facts that are demonstrably untrue to make your point. Why lie about something so easy to verify? Your only concern is to lie to push the narrative that the DNC is to blame for Trump.
The Republican party is responsible for Trump, and those that did not vote are complicit.

Here are the most influential figures behind Project 2025:
Top Architects & Strategists
Kevin Roberts – President of The Heritage Foundation; described as the “mastermind” of Project 2025. He framed the initiative and pushed it as the conservative movement’s governing agenda.
Paul Dans – Project 2025 director, former Trump administration official; coordinated the coalition of over 100 conservative groups.
Steven Groves – Co-editor of Mandate for Leadership; former Trump White House lawyer.
Major Policy Authors / Architects
Russell “Russ” Vought – Former Trump OMB Director; wrote the Executive Office of the President chapter. Widely seen as one of the most powerful architects of Project 2025, especially around restructuring the executive branch.
Stephen Moore – Conservative economist; co-authored the Treasury/financial chapter. Longtime Trump economic advisor.
Ken Cuccinelli – Former DHS official; authored the Department of Homeland Security chapter, bringing a strong influence on immigration and security policy.
Christopher Miller – Former Acting Secretary of Defense; wrote the Defense chapter.
Peter Navarro – Former Trump trade advisor; co-author of economic/trade policies.
Roger Severino – Conservative legal scholar; known for shaping social policy recommendations (especially on health and religious liberty).
Institutional Conservative Figures
Hans von Spakovsky – Key voice on election law, voting rights, and Justice Department policy.
Ben Carson – Former HUD Secretary; contributed to housing/social issues.
Edwin Feulner – Heritage Foundation founder; symbolic author of the concluding “Onward!” chapter, lending legacy credibility.
In short:
The most influential people shaping Project 2025 were Kevin Roberts, Paul Dans, Russ Vought, Stephen Moore, Ken Cuccinelli, Christopher Miller, Peter Navarro, and Roger Severino. Among them, Russ Vought is often cited as the most influential policy mind because his vision for executive power and government restructuring underpins much of the plan.

I’m not comparing the two in that way. What i am saying is yes, I CAN imagine if Biden said this. And i would imagine we Dems would have justified it. We would have just laughed it off as him being old. Or we would have memes about “dark Brandon”.
Think about Obama and how he extended the surveillance state. Are you supportive of that? Probably not. But we shut up and made excuses for it, didn’t we.
Now look where we’re at.

Trump acting like a tyrant is Biden's fault. JFC buddy you are delusional.
psychophant_@reddit
I’m not sure what to tell you homie. If that’s your comprehension of what i wrote, I don’t think we can have a good faith debate
strings___@reddit
Trump's statement "Iam the president and I can do whatever I want" is unforgivable and it has nothing to do with Biden. If you want a so-called debate then you need to start with a defensible argument.
psychophant_@reddit
I agree!
But the reality of…reality, is that there is always a cause and effect.
We may not have voted for Trump, but that doesn’t mean that us turning a blind eye to Biden didn’t help pave the path to Trump getting in office.
And the primaries that didn’t happen when Kamala was chosen to be the candidate?
That helped pave the path as well.
So here’s my point:
If we can’t figure out as Dems what we can do to make sure a future path is laid bare for someone worse than Trump in the future and we continue to bury our head in the sand, then we deserve to have it happen again. And frankly we then deserve trump, now.
strings___@reddit
Nobody deserves a tyrant like Trump. Your need to blame Biden or the so-called Dems is why Trump exists to begin with. Your argument is based on the premise that both sides are bad. Which in the context of a two party voting system is fundamentally wrong. Clearly both sides are not bad when one side is a wanna be tyrant and one is not.
Both Kamala and Hillary very accurately predicted and told everyone exactly who Trump was and what he would do. But people like you would rather both side the issues. Instead of understanding two party voting requires the voter to compromise and vote for the lesser of two evils. It's really that simple
psychophant_@reddit
I mean i voted for the lesser of two evils - Kamala.
You argue like I’m a Trump supporter brother. I’m not your enemy.
If we as Dems push aside everyone critical of the democrats, then who will be left to vote Democrat?
We need to figure out what we did wrong or it WILL happen again. We didn’t vote for Trump but we ARE Americans and it’s our responsibility to do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
Again, just saying “the Dems did everything right there’s nothing they need to change ever” just ensures more trumps in the future. Is that what you want?
strings___@reddit
What are you talking about? The only reasonable response to Trump saying "I'm the president and I can do whatever I want" is condemnation. That's it there's nothing complicated here.
You're conflating a whole bunch of other things not related to condemning what Trump said. In short you changed the subject for no good reason.
And subsequently all your other points are irrelevant to the topic at hand.
psychophant_@reddit
Are you Canadian?
strings___@reddit

psychophant_@reddit

strings___@reddit
You already assumed I was American. Not that it's relevant either way
psychophant_@reddit
Look man, I’m not sure what to tell you. Considering we’re talking about American politics, yeah i assumed you were American lol.
If that invalidates my arguments then nothing will sway you. Agree to disagree homie. I wish you the best in life.
strings___@reddit
My point still stands the only person responsible for Trump making a tyrannical statement is Trump. It's not Biden's fault or the Dems or the fact I'm Canadian. It's that simple.
psychophant_@reddit
Understood.
Yes, I agree. Trump is a big boy - his statements are his own and only his own (or Putin's).
My point is a larger argument:
Dems can't control GOP candidates and can't control who people vote for.
So if they don't want another Trump in office, they need to figure out what went wrong in the last election, learn from it, and not do it again. If we as Dems just bury our heads in the sand and think we didn't do anything wrong to pave the path for a Trump, then we're doomed to repeat history. I think there's a famous saying about that very same thing...
strings___@reddit
Changing the subject. I appreciate the sentiment to analyse where Dems went wrong however I'm not sure that's the issue here.
I'd argue one would need to look at how Trump was elected the first time and then again after instigating a literal insurrection. This is beyond a Dems problem, it points to a greater fundamental issue with American society.
My argument is Trump's original election win was a whitelash (look this definition up) to Obama being elected. And subsequently Trump is a direct result and representation of America's inability to reconcile its racist past, present and at this rate future.
How else can one explain why a national can have a meltdown over a tan suit and not Trump statement he can do whatever he wants because he's the president? The hypocrisy and double standards are beyond reason.
psychophant_@reddit
Glad to have a good discourse with you man! Emotions are certainly high with this.
You want my honest opinion? American isn't THAT racist. I would say we are just on par with our racism as any other country. Case in point - Canada. How's that native population of yours doing? We all have sordid pasts.
I don't think Trump winning the first election was a whitelash to Obama because whites in America are so racist. We typically see a Republican in office and then a Democrat and then a Republican. Was no different here.
My Dad is a HUGE trump supporter. And it's not because of racism. It's because he was born in the '50's and he's fucking conservative lol. He saw that America was devolving and here comes a man that 'said it how it was' (just like people in their 60's) who was fighting against the deep state. Keep in mind, Americans "know" JFK was assassinated by the CIA. We know that there was shady shit with the Bushes and Saudi Arabia and 9/11. We don't trust the government! And here comes a guy that didn't trust them either.
Ok so why did he vote for Trump a second time after he saw that he was just as much a part of the swamp? Because he's not on reddit sharing memes. He's watching Fox News - and they sure as shit aren't saying all that. He's seeing a carefully constructed view of the world. And because of that, I don't fault him for believing what he does. Not too many people can take the red pill (or blue pill - I get that mixed up) and open their eyes to self criticism (case in point - my arguments about Democrats which caused a knee jerk reaction in this thread).
Ohhhh...but Americans ARE racist dog. Maybe your Dad isn't, but all the other Republican voters sure are!
Are you sure about that?
"Republicans hate Obama's tan suit because he was black!"
So what did Republicans shit on Biden all the time? When Bush was president why did cartoonists on the left make him look like a Chimpanzee?
"Republicans hate women because they are sexist!"
So why did they fully back Sarah Palin?
"Well....that was a white woman! So it must be that Kamala was a BLACK woman!"
So why did Republicans fully support Condoleezza Rice?
The answer to all of these questions?
Because one was a Liberal Democrat and the other was a Conservative Republican. Plane and simple. If people don't change their sports teams when their team does poorly for 10 years in a row, what makes you think the majority of people are going to switch political teams?
The amount of ACTUAL racist people in America ("I'm not voting for ANY black person regardless of Party - I'll just sit this one out") is a very, very small minority.
This very small minority? Yeah - they make up the majority of what you see on TV, online and in other media. Case in point - police brutality. The media doesn't care about all the white people that are abused by police. That doesn't spark outrage.
American is seen as this super racist country because of the News (all owned by the same 4 people), online discourse (Russian, Chinese and Iranian bots trying to spread dissent) and by liberal users who are repeating the same tired catchphrases they hear from other liberals so we get our internet points, feel good about ourselves and stand high on our morality. It's artificially inflated.
strings___@reddit
I didn't say Americans are racists. I said Trump is a by-product of racism. Case in point only 30% of Americans are what we would call MAGA. MAGA is a coalition of what we would call alt-right many of which are flat out neo nazi and white supremacists to your run of the mill crackers.
This coupled with institutional racism, gerrymandering the electoral college. You have a recipe for minority rule. Which is what currently exists in the states. Your dad might not be an out right racist but he might as well be if he's voting for a racist. He's certainly not Republican if he's voting for the guy that caused an insurrection and puts the military into cities and professes his power is absolutely thinking he's above the constitution.
Canada hasn't had a good history but one thing we are not is racist or fascist. We are fundamentally not wired that way and our last election is an example of us rejecting Trumpism thoroughly and completely since the wannabe Trump conservative had his ass handed to him. We also don't suffer from institutional racism like the electoral college and gerrymandering.
psychophant_@reddit
Well I'll admit I got a good chuckle at the cognitive dissonance between "Canadians aren't racist" and "run of the mill crackers".
strings___@reddit
Your problem is you rather blame people then look at the fundamental issues. I pointed out how fundamentally the history of the US has been built on racism with examples. Your response "no Canadians are racists". Said nobody ever I might add.
Trump talks like a tyrant. Your response "No Biden was old and senile" "Trump is the Dems fault".
Your whataboutism arguments are weak and pathetic and frankly you're a walking example of why Trump won. You are asking for people to perform self reflection without actually first looking in the mirror.
psychophant_@reddit
My brother in Christ, you wrote this: "Canada hasn't had a good history but one thing we are not is racist"
....and then proceeded to use the term 'crackers' to reference white people.
My problem is I would rather blame people? I'm not self-reflecting?
My whole argument is that we Dems need to look at our own party to see what paths we built that helped put someone like Trump on the table. I'm not blaming white people, I'm not even blaming republicans lol. I'm the one telling us that we need to stop being blind to our own prejudices and preconceived notions in order for Trump 2.0 to never happen.
strings___@reddit
The 30% of dumb crackers are why Trump got elected. Given the context of the electoral college that was designed specifically to give southern states way more power per person than the rest of the country. Add the extreme gerrymandering you have a system that doesn't represent the majority anymore.
There is no obligation for me to be civil to the intolerant call me racist I don't give a fuck. These are the same people that went from loving Canada one day and then wanting Canada to become the 51st state the next day. All because the dear leader said it. Again I have zero tolerance for it.
Your problem is you want to play some stupid little internal political game of blaming the Dems. It's not their fault. Hilary spelled out who Trump was in 2016 and nobody listened or cared.
The answer to your question is to unify and stop blaming Biden or Kamala and start being the change you want to see in the world. Hint it's going to have to be more than just voting. It's going to take action. Kamala lost because people didn't vote. So my suggestion is to volunteer to register people to vote.
psychophant_@reddit
Well that escalated quickly. I must say i disapprove of using the term crackers, even if you’re disparaging such an evil group as MAGA. Just like i would disagree with someone using the n word even when talking about an intolerant group such as the Nation of Yahweh. It’s just uncalled for brother.
strings___@reddit
There is no expectation for me to be tolerant of the intolerant. If they are not racist then why are they voting for a racist?
psychophant_@reddit
I'll just leave these here. This explains my stance on simply calling them racist:
https://www.thedp.com/article/2024/11/trump-voters-democratic-party-moralizing-rhetoric
And this is why I think that's the case - lots of black and latino voters voted for Trump. Are those black voters racist too? And if they can vote for Trump and not be racist, then it would be racist itself to think that white voters were in any way different and could in no way vote for Trump without being racist.

The other has a lot of the SAME qualities but went out of his way to be as destructive as possible and surrounded himself with the least qualified and most destructive individuals the government has had the displeasure of having to try to survive.
Saying we could have died during the gas leak last week while we both deal with an active fire in the kitchen today is ridiculous.

Socialism leads to communism leads to nazism. Capitalism leads to fascism (literally roman fascii symbolism all over your district of Columbia) leads to nazism. If you believe one group of people can morally rule over another group of people. Then you are a proponent of human enslavement.

Ideally, he should be impeached.
Pessimistically, he will solidify his position, and no longer make it a representative democracy, and instead a bloodbath.
Personally, I want him in prison.
The faith I have in humanity says everyone will start smelling the shit soon, and do something, civilly or not.

Ok-Gas6717@reddit
They are?
Also cities suck. Why would I care if a President wants to send the National Guard to a city to lower its ridiculous crime rate?
ketchupmaster987@reddit
Because once they're there, he's not gonna pull them out. And once people get used to them being there he's gonna send them after people for all sorts of different crimes
Ok-Gas6717@reddit
Slippery slope fallacy, also, you're worried about them cracking down on all types of crime?
ketchupmaster987@reddit
I meant more "he's gonna label small silly things as crimes so he can arrest them for bogus reasons" like his new flag burning executive order.
Also it's not a slippery slope fallacy when it's literally how Hitler and Stalin operated. There is historical precedent for this.
Ok-Gas6717@reddit
You think someone should be able to start a fire in a public place?
ketchupmaster987@reddit
It's been ruled on as a protected act of free speech. Doesn't matter if it's done in public or private
Ok-Gas6717@reddit
Lol you cannot start fires in a public place without permits bro... simple as. You can burn the flag in a campground for sure. If that's the ruling, the ruling is retarded and should obviously be changed and I'm genuinely encouraged by his executive order addressing such retardation.
ketchupmaster987@reddit
The only people I know who unironically use the word "retarded" are 13 or as mature as a 13 year old. Have a nice evening, I'm not continuing this conversation

Me being POTUS or not isn't relevant to this at all, and less crime is still a very positive outcome, righhhhhhhttttttt?

Less crime? They're inventing dozens of new crimes by the day. If anything crime is skyrocketing.
Ok-Gas6717@reddit
Okay Ricky I'm tired of this now.
Desperate-Fox9808@reddit
Military are not supposed to be used as a stand in for law enforcement. If Trump was truly concerned about crime he would be bolstering Local/State law enforcement.
Ok-Gas6717@reddit
Actually the Democrats bitched about states rights but regardless, Democrat run cities actively prevent their law enforcement from actually enforcing the law. That's the difference.
The cities the national guard is in have crime that is equal to but more often exceeds that of the "red cities."
He's also doing it because of the blatant disregard for federal immigration law, aka providing sanctuary illegally to illegals.
Desperate-Fox9808@reddit
The literal argument Trump used along with many of the GOP for overturning Roe V Wade was returning governance to the states. It's always the Republicans who are continually stating they want legal precedent to be overturned and returned to states.
I mean fuck, the LBGT+ crowd are fighting for their federal legal right to marriage. How can you say Democrats are about returning rights to states?

I grew up in a town, not rural.
I've lived in 3 cities, and they fucking suck. Not a single one has been a good experience. Dirty ass places, homeless people everywhere, high crime, degeneracy, you name something shitty, a city has it. Sure there's decent areas in each (less "diverse" areas no doubt, unless Asian), things can be convenient, but overall, they suck. They're shit. Big shitty city.
Nice impression of a rural American there. I guess we're all fucking retarded because we don't want the landscape covered in concrete and garbage.

If this train is allowed to roll full steam ahead, and full facism descends upon America then, just as Trump stated, they will 💯 be coming to take Canada for its resources and NO ONE will do a fucking thing to stop them. Europe already plays footsie refusing to fully step into the conflict to hold Russia back - and that conflict is right on their doorstep. At this point the bad guys have realized that everything we base our social and world orders upon is actually just paper. And they don’t give a shit about what any of it says at this point. They take what they want and the only thing that will stop them is a punch in the fucking mouth.

So, perhaps consider this: Fox News and channels like them, they constantly engage in psychological warfare on you, hit you with so much fear and hatred, they you get beat down mentally, so you only exist in a state of fear, survival mode, and reactionary thinking. And they do this on purpose, because it makes you very easy to manipulate

He is waiting until Hegseth finishes building him his ideologically pure national guard quick response forces that he created in another executive order. Once his version of the SS is organized, he has made it clear he will unleash them in Chicago first.
Concrete__Blonde@reddit
Nah, his SS forces were already established when they passed a budget for ICE that is bigger than most of the world’s militaries; bigger than the FBI, CIA, and DEA budgets combined; and bigger than the Marine Corps budget. The law Trump signed provides about $165 billion for Homeland Security, including $46.5 billion to finish building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Its ICE-specific budgetary provisions add up to about $75 billion over four years.
And the Supreme Court is allowing ICE to deport anyone to anywhere without any due diligence.
So while the mobilization of the National Guard is troubling, don’t forget they can already make you and/or your family disappear legally without impunity.

Smoothsailing4589@reddit
He's manufacturing all of this. None of this is necessary. I am 50 years old and no city, other than in times of extraordinary circumstances such as the L.A. riots, has a city ever asked a president to send goon squads to their city to crack down on crime. His goal is not to crack down on crime, rather his goal is to bait the citizens of these cities to do something to one of his goon squads. Then he'll call it an emergency and call in active duty troops to whatever city resists his goons. And he'll do that in every city that resists his goons. That's how he will consolidate power. If it feels like a military takeover then yeah, it probably is. Trust your gut.
He says, "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I am president of the United States." He also said right before he sent his goons out on the streets of D.C., "They can do whatever the hell they want."
So we have a situation here. He's trying to incite something. Possibly he feels a civil war would be favorable to him? I don't know. At this point, anything is possible with this guy. This is nuts.

Margotkitty@reddit
There’s a clear crossover as to why you’d need to prep if you happen to pay attention to politics right now. This is closer than anything I’ve seen in my lifetime to being an actual scenario where prepping to be less reliant on a grid and a just-in-time food system might make some real sense.

Crime isn’t the problem. Crime is a symptom of the problem. The problem is a broken system. WHO BROKE THE SYSTEM? It’s sure not the ones attempting to work IN the system, ahhhh but the ones MANAGING the system? Well now… I think we’re getting closer to the root now.

The Governor need to deploy his National Guard and have them arrest Trump's Gastapo, ICE, ATF and any of his Treasonist Pedophile supporters the time to arm is now to fight the Nazi Trash

The fact people aren’t fucking listening to him say it out loud that he is a dictator. This should of been banned from running again back when the insurrection happened.

Goge97@reddit
So, let's look at the numbers. 1. Number of people in the Chicago GMA. 2. The number of National Guard this Wannabe plans to send.
Do the math. He says he can do anything he wants, like a cranky, entitled three year old would.
Be that as it may (or not), nothing he does works out successfully.
Waiting for the backlash.

Before Operation Jade Helm there were roving bands of militia members in Bastrop, Texas.
Now those same people are signing up to be the invading/occupying force.

I’m reading The Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler right now and Jeesh the parallels are alarming. Everyone should read the The Parable of the Sower/Talents if they have any disbelief about where things could be going.
IdolizeHamsters@reddit
I’ve clicked a lot of these threads. He’s clearly already distracted everyone from the Epstein topic, which is exactly what he intended to do with these deployments. He needed something crazy, something bat shit crazy to distract people and he figured it out. The only thing this hurts is the tax payer but we can safely say he doesn’t give two shits about them, only himself.

Wow, you are 100% correct, that’s exactly what this.

Funny how there is not this kind of drive and energy to solve the problem to prevent homelessness but instead and once again will spend time and tax dollars only hurting ppl
thesqrtofminusone@reddit
And some of the people that would benefit from solving that social issue (even if indirectly) applaud those tax dollars being spent to hurt people.
We all knew it already but these people running the government are not stupid, they're very methodical and calculated.

Trump’s already been impeached twice and nothing happened. The Republican Congress isn’t going to impeach him for anything and they’re scrambling to redistrict red states so it’s impossible for them to lose the House in the upcoming midterms. This has been planned for a long time.
