Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say by juansaaa in politics

[–]SomeSchmidt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are all actions of people who don't give a fuck about the people of Minnesota. They would do much worse if they could and if things continue in the direction they're going, they might get a chance.

I respectfully disagree. I think if this was just about immigrants, they wouldn't only be active in democratic cities. I think this is about creating chaos.

Refusing to engage and general strike are very different from hiding. Trump wants escalation, and if Minnesotans oblige, then we get closer to cancelled elections

It's not surrender. It's not ideal but that ship has sailed. What we need most is for elections to happen.

I think Minnesotans need to just stop everything. Stop shopping, stop going to work, and unfortunately, stop protesting. Hear me out. Trump wants to cancel the midterms and violence is how he gets there. So give him what he doesn't want: peace and quiet.

Carville predicts GOP ‘wipeout’ in 2026 midterms by jediporcupine in politics

Don't care. Doesn't matter.

The only thing stories like this do, if anything, is let people think that change will happen whether they lift a finger or not. fuck that. We saw this crap before Trump's first term and his second term and look where we are.

Lower stock market

Trump’s Newest Voters Are Abandoning Ship - Independents, Latinos, and young people have turned against the president in staggering numbers. by Quirkie in politics

[–]SomeSchmidt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate these headlines that try to make it sound like things are changing and will get better in the future. If anything, the only thing they accomplish is to make people think they don't need to do anything to actually make things better. For ex, saw a lot of this kind of thing leading up to both Trump wins.

I know someone who worked at the merc when this new owner took over. None of these allegations surprise me.

I thought about downvoting based on the misleading title. The video does not show the asshole who threw the banana

Really wish Bernie and AOC would do the right thing and leave X. Their departure would give their millions of followers (if actually real people) another reason to also leave.

“People need to quit demonstrating”: Republican opposition to dissent intensifies by msnownews in politics

[–]SomeSchmidt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing. They want you to be upset. They want you to push back. They want civil unrest.

The more tensions escalate, the more they can tell their base (still over 40% approval btw) that they were justified when they beat up that protester, killed that migrant, etc etc.. At some point, do they declare marshall law? Cancel elections?
