    For something to be called New America, there has to be an Old America. But there is no such thing.

    Remember when we dismissed one of, if not the most, progressive president in our lifetime because he was old and “senile”?

    And traded him out for whatever the rapist fuck this is.

      The ignorance in America is too vast to describe without sounding like hyperbole.

      Said something about Trump’s dementia to a good friend last week, “Yeah, but Biden was pretty bad too wasn’t he?”

      There are exactly two people on my street that understand current events, both old black folks. My young black friend (above) and the white people of all ages are clueless. My Asian wife only knows about Trump through me and her friends and family back home who now hate him over gas prices. (See chart)

      There’s a monster chunk of our population that votes on vibes and how their personal life is going. Trump’s 30% approval? That’s not MAGA, that’s the politically disconnected.

      Yall chose the most hated woman politician, and put her against Trump. Look at Bernie he still out there freash and fighting good fight. Had a other chance and again chose the fucking neo liberal who spent 4 years accomplishing nothing. Or he did just got overturn. What really pisses me off is the asshole knew, KNEW, he had incurable cancer and still ran again. When it was clear he could not beat Trump instead of having a primary they chose to stick Harris on us that no one wanted. Yet I still voted for her. But millions just didn’t vote.

      Now only way out of this is the one thing the majority of Americans refuse to do. And we need millions to do this thing we are to have snowball chance in hell of fixing this problem.

        I wonder why is it this one is “the most hated” in your books, and not all the literally neonazi women politicians that you ended up electing into various positions of power?

          Yeah, anyone not a centrist would list their most hated female politician as Nancy Pelosi, easy.

          Harris lost because the Democratic base was demotivated from inflation, gaza, and a media environment that convinced everyone that those help wanted posters in the windows meant unemployment was high.

    Stop these ideas. America means the whole continent not USA. Trump just does not get what he is saying.

    Yes, please do it. From Mexico we are gonna try to stop calling this continent America. Maybe Abya Yala fits just right.

      At some point he was told patriotism or some like thing polls well and his dementia addled brain locked onto it. On some level he understands he’s dying, wants to leave his mark and can’t get away with naming everything Trump as he’s done his whole life, so “America” it is.

      Well to be honest he probably wants to name after Himself but even his most loyalists followers refuse to do that. They probably told him that when he wins they will do just that. I mean he did complained that he had to build all these moments after himself because noone will do it after he dies.

      He only has room in his head for like 10 words at a time. That’s why he thinks remembering 5 in cognitive tests is a huge victory. It takes half his brain! And the other half is “America” “golf” “China” and “besty Putin.”

    Trump is a freak. People who like him are weirdos. Enough said.

    I cannot wait until this fucker is gone. The arrowhead of American failure was carved by people like Donald Trump.

      Anyone who supports him to the end should have a permanent black mark against them. Treat them like this regime treats ICC judges. No government jobs or funding, no executive level positions, no top secret clearance, nothing that requires some level of trust. That’s the compromise position.

        When he dies and the cult falls apart, it will be like post-Nixon. “Oh, well, I didn’t really support him, I just liked his $X policy.”

    There are no adults coming to save us. It won’t even be that surprising if this ends up happening. Certainly not becausw it makes a shred of sense, just because this timeline is satire.

    As a born and raised New Mexican, fuck this absolute piece of garbage, and fuck anyone who has voted or is continuing to vote for the convicted rapist and pedophile party. New Mexico is a culturally rich and diverse state, full of traditions going back hundreds, in some cases thousands, of years.

      There’s dozens of us New Mexicans here! Dozens!

      It’s such a stupid idea because even people who voted for him have New Mexican pride and wouldn’t agree with this change, it’s simply stupid

      My wife and I love NM. We’re from shithole TX and if there isn’t a blue wave here, we would love to move.
