    I keep seeing this nonsense in my socials. No a self sustaining dictatorship is not going to suddenly appear in America. It would probably work in almost every other country on Earth, but in the USA it’s impossible because of the individualist delusions all Americans are raised on.

    Left news: A Trump dictatorship is inevitable

    Right news: A Biden dictatorship is inevitable

    Actual news: The media wants you to start a civil war with your fellow man to distract you from eating the rich.

        And the right says the Democrats are actual fascists, the left says the right is actively stripping human rights, the right says the left is actively murdering babies. Both are just flinging shit. Yes, the GOP are deplorable bastards, so are neo-liberals and SJWs. The problem is the politicians themselves, not the team they are on. Every speech and news article is designed to rile you up against the other side these days. If we focused our efforts on getting these corpses and puppets out of our government we would find that, outside of some extremes, Americans have more in common with each other than the media wants us to think.

      you from eating the rich.

      from rioting in the streets to stop the destruction of the environment

      slight disagreement but overall excellent thesis.

    No …no it’s not it just isn’t. What this is a sensationalist headline trying to sow discord, despair, and defeat.

    I understand the implication of a future where Trump or his like were in charge, but as dark as it looks I still think the majority of our country has better sense than to elect him president again. So what if he makes the Republican nomination it just confirms their lawless criminality.

    In other words STOP with the crap attitudes that trump is “Inevitable” Shit… he’s not.

      I hope you’re right.

      However I also never imagined my country (Holland) the PVV extreme-right would become the biggest party by far. People really have gone mad. Even some of my friends are now so hostile against immigrants and transsexuality in particular, I just don’t know where it comes from. I guess they doomscroll too much in the wrong places and edge each other on or something.

      This opinion contradicts the polls though right?

      I mean it’s a shitty headline and I dislike the use of the term “inevitable”, but polls suggest that voters are eager for a Trump dictatorship.

        polls suggest a hardcore portion of Americans want fascism and what biden sucks so hard he might still lose despite that being his competition.
