Trump will ruin it with an executive order.
Think of the profit that would steal from the big corps!
The state and local is where most of the progress is going to happen in the next 4 years. They control a lot more than you think - even including running elections for federal office. Pay attention to all your local elections - they are going to matter a lot
EDIT: While I’m here, going to mention there are local elections in some localities across the US tomorrow (feb 25th) in parts of California, Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, & Maine
Here’s a substack post with more info about those local elections
New Trending Term: “Died In Committee”

“states rights rabble rabble rabble” -Republicans, usually. But not now it appears.
Except when an EO appears on dumbfuck’s desk barring it because his eunuch demands it
A monumental win for repair warriors; corporate gatekeeping faces a well-deserved reckoning.

Also great for the environment. Replacing a part is significantly better than the waste products and energy used in recycling facilities.
Until pedo-prez and nazi-musk determines that it’s hurtful to gafam.
Sorry for becoming a cynical asshole, it’s actually a good news but I can’t help myself these days.

Hope you’ll take this criticism as honestly given, and not meant as an attack, but you’re not improving the quality of Lemmy with these kind of posts.
May I suggest, instead of making a comment and apologizing for it in the same comment, you just don’t make the comment at all?
It really sucks having to push through these type of comments.
Yeah you’re probably right, I’ll try to shut to fuck up next time. It’s just that these asshole a ruining every god damn thing I believe in so I can’t help to think they’ll come for this too. Here I’m doing it again… I’ll go serve myself a huge glass of wine to celebrate this good news, it’s almost 5 anyway.
What we need is a gloom & doom venting megathread (I almost misspelled it as “negathread,” LOL).
Yeah, my doom and gloom tends to sneak out as sarcasm, and other people may not be as amused. Negathread is a good idea
Hey, that’s not a bad name…
Hang in there brother/sister, times will be better again.
Yes it’ll be a long 3 years 11 months, but still, even the laziest people usually figure their shit out at some point and change their course appropriately, and vote differently.
They’re good at introducing them, just not as good at passing them.
There’s room for a lot of politics between introducing and passing a law.
Who cares? The US is over, folks.
More likely it will lose superpower status and just become a run-of-the-mill large size developed country like Britain or Germany.
Living in a run-of-the-mill developed country isn’t actually bad - in fact the best places to live in the World in terms of median quality of life are all pretty run-of-the-mill places.
Granted, judging by what I saw living in Britain, the whole post-Imperial hangover does screw things up significantly for a century or two compared to similar countries that were never top dog.
The British pedon has been driven into poverty quicker than American one…
They got NHS at least tho
Don’t do Trump’s work for him by spreading apathy and dispair. He wants us complacent and to forget the power we have. He is far weaker than he seems so he has to project absolute power. Don’t give anything to him for free
I am not American.
Trump will also harm you. Plus we could use all the support from our friends that we can get
We will not be friends again until you overthrow fascism.
