But there would be a metric shitton of legal proceeding and resulting settlements for years.

I stand by my statement that breaking shit is faster and easier and takes less thought than fixing or rebuilding it.

Yes it can be rebuilt through those means you mentioned, but the intervening generation will be fucked over pretty hard.

I’m hoping the Incompetence that he is bringing (not to mention the infighting and backstabbing) can blunt some of the damage that he’s promising to do.

It’s the exact same components I would have bought at a local store if there were any.

The last one closed almost 20 years ago. (Long before Temu, aliexpress and banggood)

According to them no one can get anything accomplished in 2 years

The difference is that it’s a lot easier and faster to break things than it is to build or repair them.

The families didn’t pay for this, The Onion did.

The families support was mostly not financial in this .

And woe if someone dies, gets sick, or retires

Out of over 200 people, all of those are statistically likely over a 4 year period.

And they’re gonna get it good and hard…

Canada has its own conservativism problems

We absolutely do. I’m hoping the shit-show down south prevents the right wing voices here from gaining influence further than they already have.

If you were under the illusion that Trump is going to improve the situation for the Palestinians in any way, I have a bridge to sell you…

Inconsistency is the only thing Trump can be counted on to do reliably.

The point is to pretend to be focused on government waste

Just like every republican president since Nixon

2 people to run it, but no resources allocated…

not even half the candidates had statements in the voter pamphlet and many didnt respond to questionnaires or anything.

That has been annoyingly common in elections all over the place for as long as I can remember.

You went to the effort of getting on the ballot, but you can’t be bothered to answer any questions or even tell people why they should vote for you?

which is just another way to call the voters dumb, but maybe they’re not wrong.

Given the outcome of the federal election, I’m increasingly convinced of that point.

Trump hires the worst people and creates a toxic “vie for the king’s attention” atmosphere.

Now thats a mutually assured destruction scenario I’d be in favor of.

And it explodes on the launchpad?

That is an acceptable outcome.

2 Trump administrations, 2 pandemics…

You don’t fix things by picking the worse option on purpose.

That’s exactly what the electorate just did.

That’s utter lunacy.

I fully agree

goons to wield guns

Such as Hegseth?

That seems to be all he was when he was enlisted.

I doubt he cares that much. They’ve served their purpose for him.

how is it being forced?

Go rewatch Cool Hand Luke.
