If you think so - how?
Anonymous(18-24)11 moI would like to add something more constructive about The Capitalist System we reside in if you allow me to be so frank, it has been and will always be ‘the elites’.
“Trump and his people” implies that this is a new thing dreamt up by MAGA when in reality it is The Elites / corporate entities that have been shoveling their propaganda towards Republicans to deflect any blame , valid criticism , or question to their agenda.
This is in the same fashion as Apple giving millions towards BLM, The Trevor Project, and more. Same fashion as Tesla giving “we are helping the environment with Electric Cars” , same as Bill Gates “removing Co2 from atmosphere” or “wanting to give his billions to charities instead of his own children”.
The rich and powerful use that as deflections so, The Left doesn’t question their rise to power and they are now doing it for The Right. I figured this before Trump took office a second time, though no one listens especially not now. As The Left woke up to the machine they fed into just as everyone else, now Republicans in form of MAGA deflect and praise it because it is “on their side” when Elites and Corporate Billionaires aren’t on anyone’s side. Their side is wealth and power, anyway they can achieve that they will grasp in their hands.
MAGA and The Democrats need to come together and uplift their working class , not by cheering or buying mindlessly to companies that pretend to care, but by taking their country back through lawful elections. Vote for those that don’t praise the corporate elites and will uplift people, start through local small elections, Mamdani is a good example and we’ll see if he actually leads the charge because I’m sure he’ll make a great President.

11 mo"Getting it back" to what and where is the question. If you're hoping for a semblance of humane treatment for all citizens to return, and the demolition of authoritarianism, it will take be a massive undertaking.
The legal way would require ousting the GOP from control in Congress during the mid-terms. If the Dems controlled both Houses of Congress, they could shut down everything including Executive orders. However, if you wanted to see REAL change, the Dems would need a landslide both on the Federal and State levels in order to reverse laws already in place. They would need to impeach certain judges on the SCOTUS, particularly Scalia and Thomas who are very vulnerable, and possibly Roberts. If that didn't work, the Dems would need to win the Presidency in 2028 and maintain control of both houses.
Violence, as always, is a dangerous course. But people are going to reach a PONR where they believe there's nothing left to lose and would rather die than live in a Nazi-like country. Trump, or Vance, would have absolutely no qualms about setting the military loose on US citizens. They will proclaim all protesters and violent participants to be " Domestic Terrorists set out to destroy America", and it will become "you vs them".
The other option is that somehow, some way, the GOP sycophants stop their insanity and reject the oligarchs taking full power, reverting instead to the former Capitalist illusion preferred by the populace. While you recognized it was bad before, and income disparity was at its height, it's easily much worse now to the point where the former bad seems good.

Anonymous(18-24)10 moYou no longer have any say in this. We won the election. We do not want the Democrats destroying our country anymore.
I don't know why you want it either because you're going to be destroyed along with it, your job, your neighborhood, your friends, your money, your house, your family, your freedom and your life, ALL OF IT WILL BE GONE under Democrat rule. You are going to be a slave of the government. Just look at the past 4 years, that's all they were doing. They put a senile man into office and ran the country entirely without our permission, all so you could have trans men running in high school girl races and think that was the way to happiness.
They've already announced many times over the past 50 years this is what their end game is. Look at California, it's almost all gone. Companies are leaving every day by the thousands. The only ones left are the super-rich, the homeless people and the illegal immigrants. New York will be gone when they put that communist maniac into office. You think Cynthia Nixon is going to shop at a government grocery store?
You're not one of the party elites who will benefit from their destruction of everything that once made America great. Look at the Soviet Union in the 20th century, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of middle class everyday citizens were killed, and hundreds of millions more imprisoned in slave labor camps.
Why don't you get it?

11 moThis is the goofy thing about the left’s current antics. They go out and perpetrate riots, looting and a host of other crimes, and then call it “fascism” when the law cracks down. Maybe don’t be a criminal in a crowd of criminals. Then the “takeover” wouldn’t have been necessary at all.
You don’t get to START the conflict with violence and now cry that you think it’s the only way to “get the country back”. You lost the country with your nonsense over the last eight to twelve years. You’re not the majority you think you were. Drumpf’s win was as close to a landslide victory as we’ve seen in generations because you and the people you voted for were screwing up literally everything. You lost. If you think making it worse through organized crime and violence is going to get the country back, you’re f*cking stoopid. How about redirecting your energy to finding suitable candidates for the next election instead. Drumpf isn’t destroying democracy. You are.02 Reply- 11 mo

Mostly conservative. That's a gross but common misunderstanding of the people who make up the US military and its command structure. Probably based on Hollywood depictions of military life in action films.

Do you have any day to support this contention? My impression has always been that the data supports the conservative nature of military officers, but I might be wrong about this. I'm surprised to learn from you that perhaps I heaven wrong all along about this. Please help me out with some data here.

@msc545
I grew up on military bases. Hung out with nothing but those families. Went to school with those kids. I graduated from the nation's oldest private military university. Served 15 years as a US Army officer. The military has a much higher % minority makeup than the general population. You know that right? People. That you work with every day. In life and death situations. It tends to create respect.
Yes, military tend to be Conservative. In things like (real) Patriotism, duty, and service to country. But we took an oath to the constitution not a person or ideology. We know that. We tend to be interested in and study history. Not just military history. We may or may not be financially or socially conservative. But only a warped minority are Fascist leaning. Most are middle of the road pragmatists. And we are the ones doing the killing and the dying. You think that doesn't leave an impression? You think we don't know the children of the rich don't serve?
When it comes down to the short strokes, the US military will do it's job and stand with the people and the Constitution, not some criminal moron Fascist and a cult. - 10 mo
@OneViewpoint Thank you for sharing that glimpse. When my friends son joined he kept getting comments "But your democrat." from locals. His family are actually Independent. But he has since said the military as a whole is more middle leaning too, which would make sense given what is asked. My family is long line of Royal forces and I hear it is the same.
- 10 mo
Yeah, on the one hand I'm surprised that most people buy into the Rambo bullshit Hollywood puts out for entertainment. But then I sit back and think about it and only about 3% ever serve. So people like me, life in the military, and our experiences are so foreign and distant to the average person that I guess it's not surprising they have a screwed up perception of us. Most people will never meet someone like me. When they do they tend to fetishize us and put us on a pedestal. It gets old really fast explaining the truth of it all the time. So I just hold most people at a distance.

- 11 mo
@dustybiker2 The tax cut will be realized next year but it will be for the 2025 taxable year. Between keeping the original Trump tax cut, a 12,000 extra deduction on social security and increase in the SALT deduction it should amount to a good amount of money.

@dustybiker2 When President Trump announced the taxcuts in his first term Hillery dismissed it as giving us crumbs. After I did my taxes I found that I saved a little more than $4000.00 This was the first time in my whole life I ever saw that. I was not the only one.

@dustybiker2 They have not been arrested but they have been evicted. It is unclear where they went. Cutting federal funds to the sanctuary state I Live in has caused all the hotels that they were living in to be closed and all the freeloaders have moved out. One thing I am sure about however is that no democrsts have invited any of them to live with them.

Maybe their families want to know where they went?
That put people out of jobs I bet.

A dictator is a person who to a greater or lesser extent has control over all government functions. Trump does not have that yet, but he is certainly trying to attain it.
