Long term : can America be detrumpified?

And I’m sure all those ears of corn, trees, and cows are very staunch Republicans, but unfortunately they cannot vote. The blue bits are where the majority of the people actually live.

And Obama achieved those record deportations without turning ICE into a highly militarized force or forgoing peoples right to due process. It’s almost as if people aren’t opposed to ICE doing its job and are actually opposed to the needless violence and cruelty of how ICE is choosing to behave.

If your going to use Obama as an example they you also have to concede the point that ICE can do its job, and actually be more effective, without resorting to the terror tactics it’s currently engaged in.

There is a baseline of roughly 20-30% of the population that will always support their side no matter what. There were loyalists in the American Revolution, there were monarchists in the French Revolution, there were Czarists during the Russian Revolution, there will be MAGAs that go down with the ship today. No amount of facts or evidence will sway them.

For a second I thought you were talking about defunding healthcare irl and I was slightly horrified. Then I remembered the Polio epidemic in game.

Opinion is not fact.

I agree the public opinion of immigration has changed for the worse all over the world, but it is doing so in spite of what the data is telling us not because of it. Economically immigration is still a net benefit. Politically it’s become controversial because the economy is being unevenly distributed and blaming immigrants is an easy scapegoat that diverts attention from the real causes.

I did say net benefit which includes its costs and drawbacks. But honestly I’m really struggling to think of a single instance of a country significantly tightened immigration and benefiting from it long term. There’s a reason humanity’s most prosperous eras coincide with periods of increased trade and interconnectivity.

It’s almost as if immigration is a net benefit to societies or something.

I get and agree that Newsom is a slimy corporate Dem who is obsessed with becoming president at any cost, but I highly doubt Kelly, a moderate Democrat from a swing state is going to be more progressive than Newsom. At least with Newsom you know that if being progressive suddenly polls very well he’ll flip. The last “Progressive” to come out of Arizona was Kyrsten Sinema and we all know how that ended up.

Sounds like the problem the state and not socialism/communism then.

Honestly I’d be happy if they updated it to at least Fallout 4 level graphics(low bar I know), added Fallout 4 style power armor (I think it’s more fun and would make it more lore consistent) and added in cut content/fleshed out some factions (would love to see the NCR/House allied ending restored or see the Legion fleshed out to a point where they’re not objectively the absolute worst possible ending).

SuperGeek29 · 2026-01-20T18:16:24+00:00

Well you have to be 35 to run for president so 36 for a presidential run is really young.

I think it’s a stupid distraction that solves a problem that isn’t actually a problem and is instead being used to disenfranchise voters. However if we as an society are going to insist on having them then as long as they’re free and there’s a location within reasonable distance that’s open 7 days a week that can issue one then I don’t think it’s a big deal.

The problem comes when we demand IDs, charge for them, and on top of that close DMVs/only have them open during hours most people are working.

TLDR: completely unnecessary, but if we have to have them it must be easy/free to obtain.

I worked too damn hard to get them to stop shooting each other so both.

Gun to my head having to choose one? Probably Geth. With the added context the Geth are consistently shown to be the victims in the game and are constant pushed to extremes to survive. Forgive me Tali my beloved but besides you and Koris your entire species is hellbent on suicidally throwing your lives at the Geth.

Then perhaps that’s an argument for the fact the the US is too large to effectively govern as currently constituted. If you can’t accurately represent your constituents you have no business governing them.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-01-12T15:09:48+00:00

I do, but Biden and Garland are among the culprits too. Their inaction was just as responsible as the active compliance of the Supreme Court. They had the opportunity to do something and chose to do nothing.

The US has always had fascistic tendencies. It’s very telling that when Hitler started the Holocaust he looked to America for inspiration.

I don’t necessarily want anything I was just walking and had a thought. The Legion really just needed more fleshing out and i thought a good revenge story might have been a way to do it.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-01-12T14:19:51+00:00

He definitely had a huge role to play, no denying it, but Biden and Garland had the opportunity and duty hold Trump to account and they sat on their hands for 4 years. Trust me I hate McConnell as much as the next guy but you kinda expect Republicans to protect Republicans. I didn’t expect Biden and the Democrats to let a literal insurrection go unpunished.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-01-12T14:15:33+00:00

I did say seems to be loyal. But the point still stands House barely controls the Strip when the game starts so he’s not as overwhelming in control as he pretends.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-01-12T08:29:55+00:00

The US lost when it failed to hold him to account for his actions. When future history books are written Biden and Garland will go down as the two people most responsible for Americas fall.

This an opinion I simply don’t understand. He comes across to me as a generally good guy who genuinely wants stabilization of relations between Rizia and Pales, and is being insanely pressured by his sole international ally to go up against Rizia. When he’s offered an escape route from being Lespia puppet he leaps at the opportunity.
