Anyone who supports him to the end should have a permanent black mark against them. Treat them like this regime treats ICC judges. No government jobs or funding, no executive level positions, no top secret clearance, nothing that requires some level of trust. That's my compromise.

When he dies and the cult falls apart, it will be like post-Nixon. "Oh, well, I didn't really support him, I just liked his $X policy."

Eh. Honestly, I think it’s pretty likely both incidents in which someone got “close” were probably false-flags. Orangeboi is a complete coward. I genuinely think he’d piss his pants and run away screaming if it was a real attempt on his life. There are a number of very suspicious points to the rally event in particular.

So this coward you speak of agreed to allow a teenager to fire a rifle at him from 350'? And Joe Biden's USSS, who he had purged of MAGA agents, and Joe Biden's FBI (who agreed Trump was dinged by a rifle round or fragment) were in on it?

Watch him when they pull him up seconds after we hear the "all clear". He is fucking stunned. Couple of photographers angle in for a shot (lemmy tells they were in on it as well), Trump sees the first thing he understands, "Cameras on ME!", and does the fist pump.

And all those USSS agents who were demoted or fired, and both shooters, all agreed to upend their careers and lives for...?

Or we could just admit that a couple of dudes shot their shot at the most reviled man in America, possibly and all-time hatred in American politics.

Do not let perfection be the enemy of good. Vance does not have any of the charisma nor the following that Trump has. His ability to coalesce a ruling party is low. It's why Trump is still in power.

Yep! Add in that what's left of MAGA will viciously turn on Vance for all the things they could bring themselves to pin on Trump. Vance'll be a copegoat.

You think they’d impeach the younger smarter asshole who wants to hurt their enemies? No fucking way. The Republicans want this. Trump is only useful for his distraction otherwise they would have stopped musk. Plus it gives them an incumbent to run in 2028 (if they aren’t already planning to run Trumps corpse again).

They'd be morons to run Vance in 2028. As sitting VP he can't fill a high school auditorium.

There's dozens of us New Mexicans here! Dozens! It's such a stupid idea because even people who voted for him have New Mexican pride and wouldn't agree with this change, it's simply stupid

Are there still Americans who don't know NM is part of the US, or it that long past?

Remember when we dismissed one of, if not the most, progressive president in our lifetime because he was old and "senile"? And traded him out for whatever the rapist fuck this is.

Yall chose the most hated woman politician, and put her against Trump. Look at Bernie he still out there freash and fighting good fight. Had a other chance and again chose the fucking neo liberal who spent 4 years accomplishing nothing. Or he did just got overturn. What really pisses me off is the asshole knew, KNEW, he had incurable cancer and still ran again. When it was clear he could not beat Trump instead of having a primary they chose to stick Harris on us that no one wanted. Yet I still voted for her. But millions just didn't vote.

Now only way out of this is the one thing the majority of Americans refuse to do. And we need millions to do this thing we are to have snowball chance in hell of fixing this problem.

Gulf of America, lake America, new America? Just how uncreative is this motherfucker?

Well to be honest he probably wants to name after Himself but even his most loyalists followers refuse to do that. They probably told him that when he wins they will do just that.
I mean he did complained that he had to build all these moments after himself because noone will do it after he dies.

I wonder why is it this one is "the most hated" in your books, and not all the literally neonazi women politicians that you ended up electing into various positions of power?

Yeah, anyone not a centrist would list their most hated female politician as Nancy Pelosi, easy.

Harris lost because the Democratic base was demotivated from inflation, gaza, and a media environment that convinced everyone that those help wanted posters in the windows meant unemployment was high.

The biggest problem was the lack of a real primary. Biden, at his worst, may have never been as mentally compromised as Trump at his best, but it was still obvious he wasn't up to serving another term. Not stepping aside to let us choose the next candidate ruined the chance we had of stopping Trump.

Fun fact: The entire area that New Mexico currently encompasses is what remains of Nuevo Mexico, or New Mexico in Spanish. The fun part is that Nuevo Mexico was named some decades (80-100 years, IIRC) before Mexico was named Mexico.

So to your point. Apparently not?

No that's still something you come across, not as often as it used to be. 10-15 years ago I had someone ask if they needed their passport to visit NM, which was funny because they were dead serious. I think since Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul got as popular as it did people figured out NM was a state but I cannot confirm this, it's just my head canon.

Calling it already, all Spanish names of towns and states will be forcefully translated to English. Prepare for Snowy, Tiles, Flowery, Aridzone and Caliphornia to be really peeved about this

What about Michigan? I grew up in Detroit. I loved visiting Mackinac Island and Kalamazoo, places whose names carry traces of the Indigenous languages and cultures that existed here long before European settlement. Kalamazoo is often translated as “boiling water,” although its precise meaning is uncertain, while Mackinac is traditionally associated with “great turtle.”

Then you have Ypsilanti, named after a Greek military commander who fought in the Greek War of Independence, and Detroit, whose name comes from the French word détroit, meaning “strait” or “narrow passage.”

And that's just one state in the Midwest.

Does this guy understand that America is not simply a country of wealthy white people? This country has always been a complicated mixture of Indigenous nations, European colonial powers, immigrants, and countless cultures that helped shape what we now call America.

The French established settlements throughout North America, including Detroit and New Orleans. Spanish-speaking communities existed in what is now the United States long before the country even became independent. Indigenous peoples had their own languages, cultures, governments, and civilizations for thousands of years before European colonization. And those influences haven't simply disappeared. They're embedded in our geography, our language, our food, our music, and our institutions.

And here's an important correction to a common misconception: until March 2025, the United States had no federally designated official language. English has now been designated the official language by executive order, but that doesn't erase the country's multilingual history or the many languages spoken here today.

America's history is far more complicated than a simplistic narrative about one ethnic or cultural group. You can see that history just by looking at a map of Michigan.

Honestly, I can't tell whether this guy fundamentally misunderstands the country he's governing or whether he's employing a political strategy so calculated that I'm struggling to comprehend it. Is this genuine ignorance, deliberate messaging, or some combination of the two?

Because I find it difficult to understand how anyone can look at the actual history of this country and conclude that America's identity belongs exclusively to one group of people.

I'm in NW Florida and they were whispering about Trump in public since the first term. The only flag I'm aware of is my neighbor's and haven't seen a red hat since 2018 or so. Don't take their loudmouth online presence to be indicative of real life.

Stop these ideas. America means the whole continent not USA. Trump just does not get what he is saying.

In English, "America" means the United States of America. Trump's talking in English to Americans, so as much as I hate to give that fucker credit for anything good, he's actually got the usage right.

English-speaking countries don't have a continent named "America." We've got seven continents - Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, North America, and South America.

At some point he was told patriotism or some like thing polls well and his dementia addled brain locked onto it. On some level he understands he's dying, wants to leave his mark and can't get away with naming everything Trump as he's done his whole life, so "America" it is.

Or he's just trying to preoccupy people with random stupid shit to distract from things that actually matter...

Anyway, where them epstein files at tho?

You mean the Trump-Epstein Files?

He is mentioned more than Jesus in the Bible. Trump is the New Testament of the Epstein realm. Thousands and thousands of times his name appears. There was a tracker a year or so ago that in ream time was showing the redactions hiding trumps name, DOJ activity. It started around -4,500 times rapidly dwindling daily as they tried to hide it. Not duplicate mentions, either. Individual instances of him.

Now, luckily, some valiant stewards have maintained physical and digital copies of the files that hopefully lead to far and wide repercussions for these cretins. But, this is viewed through the lens the are constantly building of doubt, AI, "fake" everything. It really does start to click what has occured and who was involved, We must never forget.

Only silver lining i have found is that a few countries in the EU have made moves, made arrests, and are actively prosecuting some of the retchid cohort. One is better than none, but it must be most/all.

There are 4 lights.

No, the “vote by their feelings” people left long ago. These are the hardcore mother fuckers left supporting Republicans and MAGA.

These are the low IQ, racists, the facists, authoritarians. Some just simply won’t vote for any other party besides Republicans.

These are the people who would have still supported Hitler in the hours before he put his gun in his mouth.

These people won’t stop even when Trump is gone. They will deny, rebrand and come back again supporting the same shitty agenda.

Hey neighbor's neighbor! We're in AZ, I've been looking fondly over at NM for a bit.
Love visiting NM, except the mountain pass we have to go through to get there. Absolutely hate that part or we might get over more.

We moved here from a cold state many many moons ago and Phoenix had a lot to offer for jobs. Feel like we shoulda looked harder back then. To poor now to make another move but, we will if we gotta.
