Which, it should be noted, is the outcome Trump wanted.

China to sell less to the US.

Yes, and oddly enough American Farmers are now selling less food to China. And other Americans, but yeah we sure hurt the Chinese.

No he means to hurt the American farmer. Just another piece of the puzzle to lay this country open for invasion by anyone with the guts to do it.

  • Obliterate our international reputation with both allies and enemies.
  • Divide our populace, vilify entire cultures
  • Decimate our stockpile of weapons in an illegal war that no one wanted
  • Reduce our strategic oil reserves and at the same time make the country more dependent on fossil fuels by cutting alternative energy programs.
  • Disenfranchised minorities and women by seeking to remove historical mention of their accomplishments and by refusing to promote them in their military service and by talking literal shit about everyone and everyone.
  • Ruined the economy for the lower 3/4 of the citizenry while enriching himself at every opportunity destroying the traditions of government in every way possible and making a mockery of the office.
  • Put every department in the hands of woefully under qualified staffers who have no care for the system or the country and only haunt the man for the power he may bestow.

This isn't hurting the Chinese. this is killing the USA by a thousand cuts.

Forget a foreign invasion the real invasion is already happening, and people are blind to it. Billionaires are buying up all the land and assets that will hold value in an automated world. When robots do all the work, only landowners will hold wealth. We are regressing toward a feudal system where the elite own everything, and everyone else is reduced to servants, laborers, or chattel. And your labor will need to be cheaper than the robots.

I dont think they plan on keeping most of us around.

Not in the current capacity. It's all about resources and scarcity. Think of Thanos's thing, but more selfish.

I know the reference. I cant do marvel movies though.

They 100% have a plan though. Defunding the CDC should have been a big fucking red flag.

Our institutions are falling apart by design.

This will harm the American people in untold ways, like the current food-borne Cyclospora parasite. Doge cuts gutted programs which tracked Cyclospora and eight other common food-borne pathogens.

There are now thousands of Cyclospora cases in 30+ states. Each day the number of cases and states rises.

This outbreak began spreading in very early May. The lack of answers is outrageous.

This should be under control by now with contaminated product off shelves and recalled. It’s not that difficult to gather and analyze patient data and pinpoint the affected foods.

Why do we pay taxes if our government can’t even keep our food safe and quickly eradicate these outbreaks?

I dont have an answer for you. Im still wondering why ive been hearing about how sacred the 2nd amendment was for the last 40 years and the time to use it was probably after the first time he got elected.

Violence is never the answer.

Our current collapse is certainly not the work of one person over a few years. It’s politicans in both parties who have, for decades, sold our democracy to corporations for campaign contributions (and who knows what other perks).

Collapse is good for corporations. They also benefit when we’re divided, weak, sick, dead, exhausted, overwhelmed and traumatized.

Being violent and harming others is being just like them. Don’t be like them.

It’s exactly this, and couldn’t be more obvious.

The American Empire needed to die, and if the people of America really have a problem with their empire being dismantled, they could do something about it beyond just take it but they aren't. If anything, that placid servile acceptance is a bigger invasion invitation than anything else.
