you're confusing "pro life" with actually caring about life. it really should be called "forced birth" or something similar.

"Anti-abortion" has always been a good term, but fanatics like their slogans to sound positive.

The right seems to fundamentally misunderstand how to actually wield soft power to get things they want.
They operate in a world where they want to dictate behavior and have everyone below them fall in line.

Of course they don't, soft power is soft, which means weak and the bulk of their voters need to feel strong. Even those who understand won't use it because it interferes with the short term goal of getting re-elected.

how many babies, American and international, have died due to USAID and social programming cuts
If they were already born then it doesn't matter to them. Only non-born babies are important. Once you're born, then good luck.

The best outcome would be for reasonable Americans and Russians to prevail and not let the lunatics take everybody down with them.

The government has, TBF. The people can often be wholly against this and myriad other asshole tactics by their "elected" representatives. For the record.

"The assholes we elected to represent us do not represent us." Or on the other hand, maybe they actually do.
wyldrstallyns -6 points a month ago
No, they don't. Considering 99.99% of them lie, cheat, and steal the whole damn time (and for multiple decades on their way into said role). Ya know, like appointing Supreme Court "judges" that do their bidding (eg. Bush Jr's 2nd term) and all that.
No, there've been very few politicians that actually represent their constituency, and even the rare few that do, don't tend to do so for nearly long enough.
They do not represent us, they simply shill for their handlers.

Trump made no secrets about what he planned on doing, and the only things he didn't mention was the scope of what he was willing to do. One third of Americans voted for someone who said he would be a dictator for a day, and thought that was okay for their potential president to say and/or do. One third didn't think that was a big enough of a deal to go out and vote against him, essentially saying they were okay with however the election turned out. This is just one example of the horrific statements that were made in public, on the record, that people didn't think was enough to reject him as president. Sure, he lied, and I'm sure Harris did, too. But the truths were enough to damn him if Americans were willing to do so.
He is your president, chosen by the majority of Americans, by action or inaction.

Then go ahead and use your second amendment rights to do something about these law breaking fucks you have in leadership positions.

I see it in what seemed like great USA coworkers, the propaganda makes them think EFF yeah America #1. There is sadly some truth to the stereotype of Americans being dumb. Its not that they aren't intelligent, its that they are easily swayed by flags and fireworks.

They've been chronically undereducated for over 50 years. The cult of anti-intelectualism has formed a populace unequipped to deal with basic logic and empathy. And an uneducated populace is much easier to control and steal rights and labour from.

Governments in democratic countries are elected by the people and are a mirror of said country.
One third of the USA voted for him knowing he is fascist and cared only about hurting minorities. Another third said we are sitting this one out knowing he is a fascist.
So two thirds of three hundred million people voted for this outcome and you are here defending them.
ASSHOLE.

Aww, are you this naive IRL, or just online?

I'm so sick of this stupid American cope.
Over 66% of Americans support the actions of this administration. 1/3 actively voted Republican, another 1/3 decided they didnt really care and were okay with it and decided not to vote, and another 1/3 may have voted democrat.
That 1/3 who are supposedly against this administration thinks that scheduling a biannual costume and funny sign parade is enough resistance and pat each other on the back online with bangers like "i didnt vote for him" and "the majority disapproves".
You are all complicit and the world sees you that way. Go fix your fucking country or shut up.

What an American reply haha. It is not the responsibility of Canadians to "help" Americans right their wrongs. Its not the Europeans responsibility either. Y'all "dont need anything from anyone" so I'm not sure what the problem is?
I recall an old american adage: "Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps". Perhaps practice what ya preach.

this is a big reason why I'm happy Trump won the second time. i am so fucking tired of hegemony, make me less relevant than Spain please
Trump accidentally did exactly what communists had been hoping for for 25 years. we were never gonna give up our power, military acumen, and technological superiority willingly. this guy, though. he really can do anything

My favorite outcome of Maga is showing the world why it's good to collectively pool power against the US and Russia. Blessings on your kingdom and your holdings, fookin hosers

I prefer to spell "MAGA" with a "t" on the end. More accurate, honestly.
LovableSidekick 5 points a month ago
US diplomats after Bonespurs has his final Big Mac Attack and MAGA disintegrates in orgy of backstabbing: "I don't suppose we can just pretend this all didn't happen?"

It’s hilarious how much power America had, both soft and hard, that they freely gave away. Also most of maga will align with pro-life sentiments, but how many babies, American and international, have died due to USAID and social programming cuts
