There was an article back when Brexit happened that stated something few people believed at the time - this will likely result in Trump winning the GOP nomination and securing the white house.

It's exactly the same again. The elite don't see the problem, so working class people vote for the destructive option as it harms those in power as much as it harms them.

Isn't this a bit like saying that because I drive a German car that's maintained by the dealership, it's not my car?

I'm sure it wouldn't be tricky for the UK to move the Trident weapons program closer to home, or to align with allies in Europe (lol).

I don't mean this in a horrible way, but a lot of people on here are extremely entitled when it comes to immigration.The US is an incredibly hard place to move to, even if you are a skilled worker. While it often is easier to move into Europe or Canada, it's not a given that you can just walk into any of these countries and expect to live there. Immigration is hard!

It's quite simple, and aligns with why he got in in the first place.

The economy and cost of living is still in the toilet. Trump is a protest vote because competent public servants have failed to even acknowledge that everything costs 2-3x what it did a decade ago. Sad to say, but most people don't give a fuck about LGBTQIA+ rights, Israel, Ukraine, or anything outside of this.

Call it apathy if you want, but it's ultimately a failure of moderates to acknowledge a better social net for people (I.e. left policies) or propping an economy by improving lives for regular people so their money goes further.

Go to your Democratic party and demand change.

Find a candidate that will stand on the basis of free healthcare, equal rights, the right to union, enforcing a higher minimum wage, enforcing paid sick leave and a minimum of 20 days holiday a year, and committing to lowering the cost of living.

Once someone stands up for this, push them to the moon for the next four years. Tell anyone else NOT on this platform to fuck off.

Essentially, America needs a Project 2029.

I agree with the sentiment. There are so many "democracy is dead" posts that make me want to scream "motherfucker, it's dead in America, not worldwide". The US is one country out of over a hundred. Many of us are just glad that you'll finally shut the fuck up about your election.

With that said, from a climate perspective it fucks everyone over. From a business perspective the economy tanking will affect markets worldwide. For Ukrainians and Palestinians, there's a huge shift towards Russia and Israel that will be problematic for decades.

I imagine a lot of it is to remove current stock, and because the UK has several tobacco companies that moved into vapes, and also employ hundreds

Gigs and concerts are pretty grim for this now too.

Maybe try:

  • The Rise of Hobo Johnson by Hobo Johnson
  • Outside The Box by Hacktivist
  • Jurassic 5 by Jurassic 5
  • Control System by Ab-Soul

Source: I was a mod on /r/soccer for a while.

You won't win this "battle", no matter what you do. Being a mod is a thankless job, and you'll piss people off regardless of which side you take. The only thing you can do is be fair and balanced. List your rules out, enforce mostly to the rules, but add common sense, and regularly check in with the community to get feedback.

I wish someone would keep a list of all the companies that have laid employees off in the last few years, so we can keep tabs on who to not give our business to.

Thank you for actually asking for citations. If something is fact, you should be able to prove it.
