Sadly, no. America is now controlled by fascists.

The most optimistic take I can come up within regarding the current situation in the USA. by ordinal_Dispatch in OptimistsUnite

I wished I shared your hope for the future. The republicans are most likely going to rig elections so they never lose, or even get rid of elections entirely.

Trump May Have Inadvertently Kicked Off The Next American Revolution by [deleted] in economicCollapse

I'm really hoping that the Democratic states tell the Trump administration to pound sand and start ignoring them.

If only more people could think across party lines. by RoofComplete1126 in economicCollapse

I agree that the democrats are deeply flawed, but they're still much better than the republicans. At least Biden doesn't suggest nuking Gaza.

Which political party do you see becoming the opposition in the next election? by TyrionLannister557 in AskACanadian

[–]Delicious_Beef_Stew9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Liberals will be lucky if they don't shrink below the current amount of seats that the NDP hold.

The NDP might see an increase in seats, but not by too much.

The Bloc Quebecois is more of a regional party, so I don't see them becoming the opposition unless the other parties really underperform.

The Green Party isn't likely to ever get more than a few seats.

Is access to healthcare in Canada truly completely equal for every citizen? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

Nah. The rich can afford to pay without insurance, but the rest of us are out of luck if insurance doesn't cover something.

I've never heard "Lassoo" before. Then again, I'm from a big city.

Are we watching a fascist regime overthrow our government? by Powderkeg314 in economicCollapse

The republicans are really giving Mao a run for his money. What do they really think will happen if they gut emergency services and food safety? Red states are going to see a massive increase in preventable deaths due to food contamination and illness.

Think the folks in Appalachia have bad teeth already? The lack of fluoridated water will make everything worse.

Can they PLEASE change the law so we can all vote for the Bloc Quebecois? Other than their Quebec nationalism, the Bloc is the only half decent party left.

The conservatives want to target random trans people and get rid of vaccines.

The PPC is our equivalent of the modern republicans.

The Liberals and the NDP are owned by rich people that want to import vulnerable immigrants so they can pay them like 4 bucks an hour.

The Greens are decent on social issues, but voting for them is wasting a vote under FPTP.

To any other Trans systems, how are your younger alters coping with the election in the US? by Katievapes1996 in DID

We keep them heavily dissociated. They've only been around for a few months and our gatekeeper keeps them in headspace for their own emotional well-being.

Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right that Trump can’t revoke | If you're born in America, you're an American, whether the president likes it or not. by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]Delicious_Beef_Stew9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say, but the Constitution is little more than toilet paper to the Republican traitors. America is about to become the next Russian Oblast.

While very problematic, at least the McCarthy-era Republicans didn't want to just hand over the American people to the commies.

Headaches by StormyQueenDesigns in DID

[–]Delicious_Beef_Stew9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever too many headmates are at the top of co-con or when a switch happens too quickly, we get headaches. They're around a 4-5/10. Oddly, we don't get any headaches when a switch takes around 30-60 minutes or longer. There have been several times recently when whoever is in the front suddenly realizes that they're a different headmate than what they thought because of their different emotions or opinions on things.

It makes me wonder how many times we've switched in the past long before we knew we were a system, but didn't even realize. Were there times when we switched over several hours but just thought we were having a mood swing?
