    There’s a strong case that says Trump has not changed America, he has revealed it.

      There’s a strong case that’s RT propaganda and not indicative of the millions of individuals who are actively protesting. Shut your propaganda hole

        It’s absolutely RT ml propaganda but there’s an incredibly valid point in there. None of what’s happening is at all new to any POC or GSM.

          Just now it’s affecting more of white people are they realizing how bad it is. Make no mistake though, marginalized groups like PoC and LGBT+ have always been crushed under the boot of a puritanical, racist, fascist government.

                That’s true, but I think there’s a sizeable portion of people who want to believe that nothing has significantly changed for American minorities in the past year. They didn’t bother voting in 2024, and now they want to believe that nothing got worse for their queer and poc neighbours.

                When communists talk about “controlled opposition”, this is what we mean. A billionaire goes to the DNC and says “Here’s a consultant I spent millions on to help your campaign”. The consultant has secret orders to sabotage the campaign and says “oil jobs are very important to voters, brag about all the oil jobs you’re going to create”. Kamala brags about the oil jobs and loses the support of the left. Kamala loses and ICE starts shooting people in the streets. And the left doesn’t learn because we don’t want to admit we messed up.

        Woah now there partner. We can totally separate out the average citizen and the ruling class/government.

        When it comes to the government Trump is par for the course. He has taken the mask off the most destructive force in the history of the world.

        The only propaganda is believing Trump poses a new and unique threat. The problems have been there from the start. He is the logical progression of money makes right and a reflection of our money worshipping society.

        yeah, so I do appreciate that there are a lot of people at the moment angrily shouting that someone should do something about this.

        That’s always been the case too. No matter what direction America was pulling in.

        Considering all the viewpoints is not propaganda, you ninny, and that has to include acknowledging the true history of your country
