Yeah this is bullshit. Trump is speedrunning undoing decades of progress and the checks and balances that are supposed to prevent this kind of thing have failed. Those checks and balances are damn sure gonna be working fine if a progressive is ever able to run the country and those assholes in congress will throw the brakes on anything that’s trying to be reverted. Electing another neoliberal will stifle reverting these changes on its own. We’ll need multiple administrations of progressive president and congress along with a multiple seat change or expansion of the Supreme Court to undo this, and I don’t see that happening.
The trust is not going to come back unless we implement rules so this doesn’t happen again and even then it’ll be decades, assuming china doesn't replace us on the global scale by the time trump leaves office.
There is implemented rules. But the gov is ignoring them and there is no challenge to that. I was always told that’s what Americans kept their guns. I must have misconstrued.
Your gov is lawless and quite a people support it. As above banana republic. It’s very sad but the rest of the world is wising up and adapting. Each inch of that is a loss of power for the USA. Whichever sycophant is at the top is irrelevant the world has seen the stupidity and is dealing with the consequence.
