most of my friends from Ukraine wanted the war to end from the very beginning.

Nobody in Ukraine wander this war to happen at all, but Russia went ahead and invaded them anyway, so they didn’t have any real choice in the matter.

Saner than Oz and willing to work with Trump?

I find that hard to believe.

And almost half of the population couldn’t be bothered to get off their asses and say “no, we fucking don’t want this”.

You were warned.

You refused to listen.

You refused to look at the evidence staring you in the face.

Maybe don’t intentionally act like a danger to society if you don’t want the police to try and stop you?

He will get forced out before anything gets too bad

Forced by who??

the stupid won’t breed.

They won’t survive long enough to breed.

likely in jail too (his own words)

Yes, but not for the reasons he claimed.

He would be in jail for actual criminality, not for his political opinions.

There is a chance that Trump will inadvertently weaken the US long term

He already did that the first time.

This time he’ll double (or triple) down on that.

The End of American Exceptionalism

But not the end of them claiming it regardless of the reality.

Then again, their claims of being the bestest ever at everything have been false for a very long time already.

Gee, a republican accidentally doing the right thing for the worst possible reasons.

What are the odds of that?

Presumably because it’s much cheaper.

There are reasons why it’s cheaper, and none of them improve your life.

There were even more who couldn’t be bothered to get off their asses and vote at all. They stood by and allowed this to happen without caring enough to try and stop it.

Thanks. I hate it.

Ignoring a problem won’t make it go away.

Except they didn’t get what they claim to have wanted, they got a result that is much worse for Palestinians.

Do not call a congressperson that isn’t your own. They are not required to listen to you, you are not their constituent.

Unless they happen to be chairing a committee that you have an opinion on.

Then it’s fair game.

But there would be a metric shitton of legal proceeding and resulting settlements for years.

I stand by my statement that breaking shit is faster and easier and takes less thought than fixing or rebuilding it.

Yes it can be rebuilt through those means you mentioned, but the intervening generation will be fucked over pretty hard.

I’m hoping the Incompetence that he is bringing (not to mention the infighting and backstabbing) can blunt some of the damage that he’s promising to do.

It’s the exact same components I would have bought at a local store if there were any.

The last one closed almost 20 years ago. (Long before Temu, aliexpress and banggood)

According to them no one can get anything accomplished in 2 years

The difference is that it’s a lot easier and faster to break things than it is to build or repair them.
