    So we have an incoming administration that:

    • Is focused on economic and legal revenge above serving the people
    • Is hell-bent on gutting the federal government and replacing experienced civil service staff with loyal, clueless lackeys
    • Wants to deport millions of illegal immigrants regardless of the economic consequences
    • Plans on disenfranchise millions of voters from both parties so it can create a theocratic autocracy
    • Doesn’t understand how tariffs work but is determined to use them anyway
    • Has a leader who is in the pocket of a foreign enemy
    • Will lean heavily into energy strategies that focus on climate change denialism
    • Has a history of pissing off our allies and fawning over our enemies

    And those are just the points that spring to mind. There’s are plenty of other problematic points.

    Yeah, this is all going to go down well, isn’t it. /s

      Almost as if he’s a foreign asset who is committed to destroying America’s economical power.

          and like… talk to a naturalized citizen some time. listen to how they talk about their feelings toward america. they fucking love america in ways most of us can’t fathom. they celebrate america as the magnificent land of opportunity it allegedly is because for them, it lives up to that.

          that’s who the new admin wants to get rid of. America’s most dedicated patriots. people who loved america so much they were willing to renounce their previous country’s citizenship in order to participate in our elections and contribute their tax dollars to the place they’ve made a new home.

      And the media covered it like a horse race and pretended it was totally normal to have a convicted felon who tried to overthrow the government run for president.

      And the US voting base stood up on November 5th and declared that yes, they’d like more of that.
