The AfD is on the way to run the show, like many far right factions in many nation states of Europe.
The only way to stop tyranny is to stand up to it, and angry lemmy posts won’t do that. The danger is always much closer than the “foreigners” so many xenophobes like to point out.
Once tyranny is in power the resistance needs support, not condemnation. I thought this was known 80 years ago, apparently not so much today.
Such bullshit. They are tiny parties that very few agree with that are being supported by the US in the name of “free speech”, so just fuck right off with that and stop believing what you read on X
Republicans could have held him responsible at any time. Republicans could have blocked any of this at any point. Trump alone was a narcicistic fool with fragile masculinity. Republicans made him the threat he is. Far too many Democrats failed to take things seriously too.
Democrats had no power to do anything about this because the DNC haven’t had more than 48 senators in the last 13 years.
Republicans are all bad and all complicit, with that I agree, but I would easily say Donald Trump is the worst of them and anybody else in the party would be a lesser evil than him.
Right, yet many like Fetterman etc were confirming his goons etc. They still bear responsibility, even if it’s less. They failed to treat the situation with the appropriate respect and responses that it deserved. Instead, behaving like everything was still normal. which is still fucked up at best.
Fetterman is a brain-damaged moron who can’t be recalled. When every single DNC, Independent, and 3 Republicans voted against Pete Hegseth, he was confirmed anyways. If the DNC held a real majority then he would not have been, nor would several Trump SCOTUS picks, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.
The reason they don’t hold a majority is exactly because they refuse to take anything seriously. Much less the desires of the voters. And it wasn’t just Fetterman he and Shaheen were definitely the worst. Hassan, Kelly, Tim fucking Kane the former VP nominee, Gilibrand, Klobuchar, Peters, Slotkin, Warnock, Hickenlooper, goddamned Corey Booker!? Yes they voted against the worst of the worst. They just voted for the worst and got nothing but shame to show for it.
Pretty sure its because they attempted but failed to ban money from congress after the 2010 SCOTUS decision and have been fighting the combined PR strength of monied interests, Russia, China, and Racism.
The DNC want to forgive student debt, tax the rich, expand medical to everyone, and generally be better people in terms of foreign policy.
And? I mean, yeah. They did attempt those things, which was good. Would have been better if they had accomplished any of them. But that’s not at all the reason voters didn’t vote for them.
Voters didn’t vote for them because no one who had Biden’s ear. Got through to him till far too late for any sort of primary to run. Then they dumped the wet rag known as Kamala on us. Who continued to fail to inspire or listen to anyone on anything, especially regarding Palestine.
Those dusty bastards can’t compromise if there is nothing to compromise on, DNC having the members to write, call to vote, and pass legislature would be a night and day difference.
I’m honestly not sure if you’re trolling or just incredibly ignorant about US American history. America is constantly invading other countries, inciting and supporting coups, stealing resources, murdering civilians. It’s just what they do, have done historically, and will continue to do
Alright but so did the Vikings and the Spartans but we don’t refer to it as a Viking Empire or the Spartan Empire because that’s not what the word means. Making an Empire means claiming territories as your own and colonizing foreign lands.
EDIT: Had my comment threads mixed up earlier. Not going to fix it.
TBH if congress were aware of the operation in Venezuela I would probably be happy about it, fuck Maduro and every other anti-democracy bastard.
So just like the dems only upset that our president attacked a sovereign nation, took their leader and now claims ownership of, because he didn’t let the dems give him pre approval.
Again only upset at the illegal act of not notifying congress beforehand.
Trump might claim ownership, but nothing has actually been done to enforce it. Rubio says he’s expecting Maduro’s people, VP Delcy Rodriguez, to start playing ball as they are now in charge. Hell, they apparently didn’t even try to inform Gonzalez or Machado beforehand to install one of them.
According to the pentagon, for what little their word is worth, there are no US Troops left in Venezuela.
Fuck amrikkka
Fucking terrorist hell hole of a nation
Amrikkka is the satan
Burn this country down

Reuters covered the election where they landed 152 of the bundestag seats, just behind the majority of CDU/CSU with 208 seats. https://www.reuters.com/world/germany/german-election-2025-updates-2025-02-23/
To say they are a “tiny party” is nuts. It doesn’t matter if an ultra minority support them, because a sizable portion vote for them.

The exceptions make the rule, Donald Trump alone did this bypassing all safeguards the USA put in place to prevent this sort of thing.

Hah! Just saw this. Kelly won an extra prize. Shame and a pension cut!

you would still run into DINOs like SCHUMER, slotkin, and 10+others.

It’s that one every time

Just like when he attacked Iran dems are only upset they weren’t informed before and allowed to vote yes, not that he did the illegal actions…
Then again we haven’t had an official war since WW2 so not like safe guards were doing anything before
TBH if congress were aware of the operation in Venezuela I would probably be happy about it, fuck Maduro and every other anti-democracy bastard.
But that’s not the reality of the situation. The reality is Trump did something highly illegal.
So just like the dems only upset that our president attacked a sovereign nation, took their leader and now claims ownership of, because he didn’t let the dems give him pre approval.
Again only upset at the illegal act of not notifying congress beforehand.

Again only care about the paperwork not the actions. And he doesn’t care about Machado so why would he tell her anything.
In order to install a puppet leader. If only because of Trump’s incompetence, Venezuela is still governed by Maduro’s faction.
So it would be better if he had put a terrible person who wants to sell off her countries assets?
