Which is like...most of them. What circle of hell will they descend to next? It will be the most pure, concentrated echo chamber of totally psychotic woke the world has ever seen.
I'm not sure they will crack down on it. Remember, its a core tenant of the progressive stack that the less involved must at least actively back, support, and body block for the fucking crazies. They're going to dig their heels in, every moment along the way, and use it as a radicalizing moment for all the less involved. Covering for the crazies will make their lives hell, and any of them that don't break free of it will blame everyone else, not the crazies, for it getting worse for them.

I think you'll see more riots and other shit as they lose their minds. Just imagine trying to police a riot of FBI desk jockeys refusing to walk out.

Right now it is political suicide to back a riot. They already tried the political stunts and got btfo. If you think the corpo's like Reddit will stand and die on the sword of the US gov to protect a faggot like Bardfinn and the rest of the fed posting troons and nutters. I do not know what could convince you otherwise. Half of the corpo's did not turn up for Pride month this year. But now they are suddenly going to wrap up spastic commie faggots in protection? Don't think so.
For some reason you seem to forget that the Trump admin has basically unchecked power right now. They can pass laws, extend fines and do a lot of shit to fuck with social media platforms that do not do as they say.

Just got to ask not talking about you but to the thread generally. Why does the right wing still think we are not in power and can't do anything? The eternal larp as the underdog is really cringe when you see the level of victory Trump got.
Trump could pass a law saying he has the right to shit on Obama's desk and the left could do nothing but sit and seethe.

The margins in both houses are razor-thin and any defections from squishy Rs will torpedo a bill, even before we get to the subject of the filibuster.

There are things you simply can't do with executive orders alone, and most of that is still out of reach.
 
I'm genuinely interested to see what happens if Mamdani gets elected.
A soft on crime urban hellscape is not new for NYC but one ran by such a true-believer with zero willingness to back down or admit failure is going to be entertaining.
Probably nothing other than continuing down the same path of decline that the city is currently on as the productive American population shrinks year after year.

Outside of his stance on Israel, Mamdani is identical to the other Democrats in the race, especially once you filter out the things that he doesn’t have the power to do like raising income taxes on the rich (as only the state has taxing authority).

That’s not to say that he’d be a good mayor, cause he won’t be, but since the cucks on Wall Street haven’t already moved to Florida then they likely never will.

Just remember that without the media being headquartered in NYC and them reporting local news as if it was national news, you wouldn’t even know who their mayor is, just like how you probably don’t know that a few years ago, Chicago elected a corrupt black supremacist teacher’s union executive to be their mayor.
 
They absolutely would. The boomers and the lolberts would 100% sink it.
I don't think so. Not after the public outcry. The thing about these boomers. They love staying in power over any other conviction. It would be political suicide to go against it, and they would end up getting primaryed in the midterms.
To add odds are that the PELOSI bill will make it to law. We all know they are corrupt as fuck, how come they aint killed that bill already with wobbly Rs that insider trade?
 
Not to give you shit, but the word you're looking for is "tenet." A tenant leases a property; a tenet is a core doctrine or principle.
You are correct, but I counter that I think its funnier for it to be living rent free in their heads, because we all know its not principles that are driving them. But yes, typo, they happen in my posts a lot and I apologize for it, very much a stream of consciousness poster here.

Why does the right wing still think we are not in power and can't do anything?
Its less that we're not in power, its more that the power structures we have aren't capable of effective action. In short, the perception is the left constantly gets away with shit, because the institutions refuse to prosecute and pursue as a matter of course. Rioters get let loose, violent criminals get let loose, any attempt to use lawful presidential authority gets overruled by some random two bit judge for months, and the nature of the system makes it exceedingly difficult to root out these bad actors driving these outcomes.

But all these judge injunctions are not stopping the ball rolling they are just delaying it. Because it has happened like this every time now
>Trump passes law/makes decision
>Soros judge says no
>Trump appeals to SC
>They say the judge is retarded and lift injuction
>Trump gets his way and the outcome happens.
All it seems to me is that you are complaining about is time lag.
We are still getting the desired outcome, just not to your personal schedule.
I would also love to see what judge is willing to stick his neck out for a political extremist terrorist assassin and the measures the US government takes against the terrorist. Where were these judges in the Iraq war?

Conservatives tend to value systems, institutions and rules. We tend to find it fundamentally disgusting when they're actively twisted, especially since our only recourse is hoping that someone with a bigger stick agrees as you point out. Especially since historically, the precedent has been the person with a bigger stick is also a clown and backs it, that's half of what got people here today.

At the end of the day, its less annoyance about time lag, and more frustration that the thing people voted for now hangs in the balance of the unnecessary circus its getting dragged into every time. Especially when its stuff so blatantly in the executive wheelhouse, that the judges in question get straight up slapped down by the SC, and then just keep doing it anyway. Its natural to feel a bit worried or helpless when something like that not just happens, but keeps on happening. Especially when its no guarantee the SC is expedient in telling the circus to knock shit off, and when its so very clear the circus doesn't care about pissing them off anyway.

I understand what you say. But the level of its over i see is just not reality. I mean what, they have """""resisted""""" Trump on everything. Yet he has passed everything he wanted to get passed. Deported everyone he wanted to deport. The rival party has self destructed after having tantrums about not being let in to buildings and doing other insane political stunts that have all backfired.
Their most prominent voices of online activism are all engaged in a retard sperg war between themselves and other scandals and care more about Palestine than focus on domestic issues. All their biggest propaganda shows have lost viewership and are getting canceled. We have the hostile news shows going "actually he makes a great point". Corpo's who were once pushers of DEI and protecting the trannys at any cost are not turning up for Pride month.
Before the announcement of the killers name Trump was on FOX talking about RICOing the Soros's for the funding of violent left wing extremism. Yet we are supposed to act like we are the underdogs and on the edge of going to a gulag. It is just not reality.
 
>Trump passes law
This basically doesn't happen. The President is not a legislature unto himself. I know the state of American civics knowledge is pretty dismal, but you're coming across as a furriner making big claims about US politics when you don't actually understand it, much like Fapcop.
