      But I was told we were overreacting when we said Trump was a fascist and would do fascism.

        Yeah, but it’s not like the fascists had their plan written down in a todo list or anything. Like a project or something. Scheduled for 2025 maybe.

    Still, I’m begrudgingly impressed that someone working directly for Hegseth has the technical wherewithal to put together a database.

    Meanwhile, when I ask my mother her opinion about this: “but Hunter Biden made so many corrupt deals and he was doing crack!”

          I respect that he pays sex-workers for sex and doesn’t offer them gigs on TV shows that he never intends to deliver on in order to score a freebie by cornering a woman in a hotel room. Rape by another name in my opinion.

              How? I specifically say I like that he doesn’t do those things. I didn’t say Trump’s name because his scumminess proceeds him. There’s literally no one as disgusting as Trump and the fact they go after a person who does something as pedestrian as pay a sex-worker when they back the best friend Epstein ever had just makes me draw the comparison. I worded it that way to draw the direct comparison, so I’m okay with it being a little ambiguous (though pretty clear imho).

    The US doesn’t already have a troll army? Every other country is doing it. With AI shitposting it’s never been easier.

    Isn’t it pretty easy in the US?

    For some reason people need to register with their government what their political affiliation is. Not sure if any other country in the world does this but it’s stupid as fuck for every reason.

      You don’t need to register your political affiliation in the us. You can register as independent. As far as i know it just dictates what ballot you’ll get (which is silly)

        That’s still registering your political affiliation with the government.

        Which is still fucked up.
