    (stupid tabloid level shit, but atleast they are fighting back against trump).

    Should we create a seperate community for this “drama” type news, which is all word and no action, ie. Trump says, Musk tweets you know the politics equivalent of celebrity gossip.

      No. We elected a Reality Show host, we get all the drama. We voted for government by Tweet.

        I hate that I’m part of that we, despite not wanting any of this shit.

        Society was a mistake. Agriculture was a trap. Get me off the planet it’s full of insane apes.

        Yeh, unlike enoughmuskspam - which is essentially just absurdities about some rich fuck -… Donny is actually the president of the United States.
        All the cringe and batshit crazy? That’s who America has elected to lead and represent them. Essentially, that’s America for the next 4 years. Hopefully shorter, probably going to be some attempts to make it longer.
        But, that is Americas representative.

        Now, maybe moving away from the default “everything is about America” would be a good idea.
        But realistically, news articles from America about America are unlikely to include the country - let alone the state - where the news takes place. And they are always going to be posted to generic news/politics communities. So, unlikely to actually happen.

        But “trump says” and “why trump wants” being rephrased as “America says” and “why America wants” wouldn’t be a bad thing. Might be a wake up call for a few people.

          No it wouldn’t. Anyone who disagrees that this is who America is would already have their eyes open, and anyone who doesn’t already has their tongue in Trump’s brown eye.

          What a fucking disgrace of a country
