Oh yeah, sorry about that.

With the obvious exception that they’re uprooting and leaving permanently.

Well now that you mention it…

There is no way more people are moving into the United States.

2025 is VERY different than previous years. Almost no one wants to move to the U.S…

Maybe they’ve been watching Star Trek.

Ohmigod! I never thought of that!

Such a simple solution!

I’ll just go ahead and do that and then everything will be okay again!

Yes.

Great advice, but what if you’re concerned about the possibility that you might be stuck in the other country permanently(not because of the search itself but because the U.S. Government could fall apart while you’re visiting the other country)?

Do you just give up on having your phone?

Ahh, yes, the first-grade gang members definitely need to be deported to El Salvador Concentration Camp.

Jesus fucking Christ. I swear that there are bots to repost the exact same thing you post.

This is NOT the time to harp on that particular thing.

Those people are going to be some of the easiest potential allies to make, and this is an all hands on deck situation. We NEED them.

Posting this shit benefits the people opposing the idea that the comment is supposedly trying to support.

When he’s done with the Palestinians, his love for the Jewish people and Israel will evaporate.

I read today that one of his secretaries said that China had miscalculated, because China exports roughly four times as much to the U.S. as the U.S. imports to China, and he said that that makes the U.S. a lot stronger than China, that it would give the U.S. a better bargaining position.

That’s like a wealthy family in a small town saying they can outlast the grocery store if the grocery store decides to stop selling food to you.

I mean, good luck with that…

B-b-b-baby you ain’t seen nothing yet!

Yeah, he just gutted the VA along with everything else.

To my knowledge, no such “uncoup the coup” drill has ever been conducted.

Why would it be expected that you would have knowledge of such a thing?

Vagina

I think we should change our strategy here. Let the currently popular instances be popular, but instead create a site to suggest lemmy instances and then randomize the order they show up in the suggestions.

Don’t try and pull people who already have accounts from the existing instances to build the smaller instances. Try and direct the incoming growth to the smaller instances, instead.

Aim for growth instead of cannibalism.

I haven’t been banned from Reddit.

I want Lemmy to succeed because I want to interact more with people who are not from the U.S., and I don’t want to use platforms from the people who were sitting behind him on inauguration day.

Since Elon feels that he can interfere in Reddit and since Reddit seems open to letting that happen, that’s a good sign to me that I should limit my use of Reddit and should use alternatives instead. Lemmy seems to be the most Reddit-like of those alternative platforms, so here I am.

They predict -3.7% if yesterday was somehow the end of it, but we know it’s not.

-3.7% would be a dream compared to what’s actually likely.

The possibility of a situation like this is why people never succeeded in repealing the second amendment.

And whether or not we agreed with that fact, it is likely to have some effect on the situation now.

This time may be different because the police may have a lot greater reason to join the people than they did in the past. The police’s retirements were also wiped out, and the police’s family members are a lot more likely to have been affected by those tariffs. I think it’s too pessimistic to say what you’re saying, because the number of people affected now is significantly greater.

An uprising seems likely, and an attempt at brutal suppression also seems likely, but the United States regime has also made enemies of almost every other country on the planet, and the groundswell of people is very large. The number of people in the protests today was massive:

If you see the sheer numbers, it’s enough to give hope.
