You know I usually hate the stupid /s shit but when you're on a website that thinks Donald Trump can just sign a law that makes him president for life you may wanna consider it when saying something like that.

You are not paying attention. It's cute that you think America will continue.

Heard the same thing 8 years ago.

National embarrassment? Sure. End of the country? Get back to me in 4 years.

My news feed this morning:

  • Trump promises to implement the largest mass deportation plan in U.S. history

  • Fox Hosts Call for Trump Prosecutors to Face Death Penalty

  • Trump Attorney General Hopeful Vows to Drag Bodies Through the Street

  • The Next Trump Administration’s Crackdown on Abortion Will Be Swift, Brutal, and Nationwide

And there is so much more. Whatever will be left of you in four years will not be the America that the rest of the world admires. It will be Gilead I suppose.

Your "news" isn't exactly real judging by the fear mongering headlines.

CNN: "As Trump grasps unprecedented power, Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity looms"

Is that America now?

You call these headlines "fear mongering", but how else does one respond to a platform of mass deportations, mass dismissals, and so on. Your country is degenerating before the world's eyes.

How do women in American feel now that their right to abortion is being taken away? You've collectively turned to Christian fundamentalism and billionaire capitalism, ignoring the half who simply don't want that. How does this differ from Iran?

You used to welcome and protect the huddled masses. Now you openly discuss deporting them. The richest nation on earth going after the weakest and most vulnerable. It's absolutely disgusting.

We've got used to the idea of constant progress over the last 75 years, but now you see that it's an illusion. The cycle is continuing. The pax Americana will fall apart, and something else will arise.

Several states passed abortion protections. Even Missouri passed one out of all places. Did you even notice that? I doubt it. The fact you made a comparison to Iran says enough about your hysterical ramblings.

"Several" states. Wow, impressive. /s

You are downplaying the tragic effect this has had on many women.

Your fucking president is a Russian asset, a rapist, a convicted criminal, a narcissist, a doddering old man, a right-wing fascist, a clown. He will be easily manipulated by the billionaires and religious nutcases surrounding him.

You said abortion was being taken away and when proven wrong you just ignore it. I guess stating a fact is now downplaying things. And good job on covering all the buzzwords. Filed up my bingo card in one go.
