You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

    I’m going to be a bit controversial but I think Harris getting elected wouldn’t have solved people not being able to afford to rent let alone buy a house, it would’ve have solved the cost of living, the abhorrent state of health care, the laughably poor labor rights etc. Harris would’ve had a better impact on an international stage (for example not turning former allies against the US) but for America it would’ve a road down the significantly less steeper hill than what Trump brought, however downhill nonetheless. Americans are getting screwed regardless of who they vote for because the politicians work for the corporations not the American people.

      The fact that Trump was voted back in shows that fascism here was inevitable. If Hillary had won, if Kamala had won, their milquetoast support of the status quo would have allowed the far right to continue to fester until it eventually took over regardless. Unless you take a hard stand against authoritarianism, it WILL win out. And then eventually turn on itself and collapse, taking everyone else with it.
