And no Republican congressmen/women will never vote against anything Trump wants to pass, or else face being cast out. He now also has a mandate he didn't have in 2016 - electoral sweep and the popular vote. There will be very little to stop him doing what he wants to do in his second term. We just have to hope all the doom and gloom isn't real. I think Trump will push the constitution to its absolute limit. I think he'll try to do things we've never even imagined.

When it comes to Trump (or people like him in the past), it doesn't come to right vs left, or conservative vs liberal, or catholic vs atheist anymore, it purely comes to HIM and HIS power and narcissism. A majority of American voters have failed to identify the traits characteristic to Donald Trump, which allign with the traits of historical figures who should have never gotten to any sort of positions of power, objectively speaking. A country this influential and wealthy should really be able to do better in terms of educating it's population about what distinguishes dangerous individuals like this, and where these people lead a country, and the entire world as a matter of fact, as each of the forementioned individuals (not trump yet) have caused a terrible havoc on the entire globe.

In relation to comparing Trump to Hitler or Lenin/Stalin, in all cases the population voted these people in as they had lost all faith in the governments that had ruled. Lenin abolished a monarchy that had abused power for centuries, only to become a dictator. Hitler led a war torn Germany from a government that had bent the knee to Europe and lost all power. The dems that flipped their vote for Trump have a deep distrust in a Democratic party that is being run like a mafia with Pelosi's, Clintons, Kerry's, Kennedy's and Schumers at the helm. Trump used that distrust to his advantage. Basically, the democrats through sheer short-sightedness and arrogance have led their party into dystopia, the fact that Americans were willing to vote in a convicted felon just to counter it shows just how bad the situation has become. Dems need to clean house and build from scratch if they ever want the trust of the American people again.

We have to ask ourselves WHAT, specifically, he provides & HOW, if at all, prior administrations or even just the structure of society & culture in capitalism determined the continuation of this need to the extent that someone like Trump continues to seem like the right choice.

Yes, tariffs were indeed one of the driving factors of the Great Depression. The most notable tariff was the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which was initially intended to protect American businesses and agriculture from foreign competition by raising tariffs on thousands of imported goods. However, this backfired significantly: Retaliatory Tariffs: Other countries imposed their own tariffs in response, leading to a sharp decline in international trade. This hurt American exporters and contributed to a decrease in global demand, worsening the economic downturn. Reduced Global Trade: International trade is vital to economic growth, and these trade restrictions caused a significant reduction in global commerce, aggravating the economic crisis worldwide. Economic Isolation: The tariffs isolated the U.S. economy, causing domestic prices to rise and leading to inefficiencies as American consumers and businesses faced higher costs for goods.

United States of America you are one strange nation, with a lot of strange people in it. A nation talking a lot about freedom and democracy, but in the meantime scoring worse on freedom and democracy then most other countries. Where 40% of the electorate doesn't even bother to vote because they only can choose between far right and light right. A nation with the most wealth in the world, but the worst distribution of wealth, homeless and personal debts. A nation with the best health care but the worst access to health care. A nation with more incarcerated people then the rest of the civilized world, but more people being killed by firearms as well. And you choose this nutcase!?

[@fortheloveofmusic860]

And stranger even when I just read that 64% of Americans want electorial reforms. Between 80 and 90 million people didn't vote because they don't feel represented by a candidate.

Have you watched what’s been happening the last 10 years? The US is not dominating in any way, shape, or form. Not economically, not in education, not in health, nothing. Our military has the most technologically advanced gadgets. FOR NOW. China is quickly catching up. And that’s only because we drain other federal budgeting funds to funnel into our weapons development programs. To include Active Duty and Veteran benefits and care, as well as pay. We have an all volunteer military lol. That’s not going to fare well. So either our military will continue to struggle to recruit, or we go back to a mandatory conscription and draft. Like Israel and China. Countries have been destabilizing at a rapid rate, no longer fearing the repercussions of “big brother”/self appointed “world police” USA. Israel, Russia, Myanmar, etc. It’s literally just the beginning. The US’s biggest asset was world deference, after WW2. That will be no longer. This shitshow was years in the making.
