  • This is a very brief, very incomplete list but from what has been reported so far they are

    • Deporting people with legal visas because they express opinions that the presidential administration disapproves of
    • Sending people who were in the US legally to a foreign prison without due process. That last part is especially important, without due process anyone can get punished without having any recourse for proving their innocence.
    • Severely damaging international relations and damaging the world's economies without any reasonable process or determination, especially with long-standing allies and trade partners.
    • Dismantling large portions of the government, a lot of it created for enabling life-saving research, providing assistance to those who are most in need, and protecting citizens from toxic, dangerous, and otherwise harmful products, including in food and medicine. A lot of it through sudden, unannounced, unjustified, and illegal firings.
    • Aggressively attacking anyone who disagrees with the administration, even if their disagreement stems from the law or even the constitution itself, including attacking legal firms that represent those parties.

    This is without mentioning what they are doing to infringe on voting rights, redistribute more wealth to the very richest, reduce protections for minorities and strengthen systematic discrimination, and otherwise dismantling democracy at large.

  • You're either an apologist for totalitarian dictatorships who falls for propaganda as easily as MAGA cultists or you're just straight-up trolling. The racism accusation was really the cherry on top.

    I have never even visited the US, nor do I have any intention to.

  • First: No I cannot, the people of China do not enjoy freedom of press or freedom of expression, so finding out the actual statistics can be very difficult.

    Second: What is your point? Two governments can be bad simultaneously, and even more than just two. Just because I oppose Israel's genocide doesn't mean I suddenly support Iran's totalitarian leadership.

  • The enemies have never been the Chinese proletariat who toil and slave for scraps to feed the demands of a capitalist, consumerist society and always the greedy, totalitarian faux-socialists with a love for concentration camps that form the ruling party.

  • Voter turnout was roughly 64.1% and out of those, 49.8% voted for Trump, bringing the total to about 32% of eligible voters. While one can absolutely make the argument that abstaining from voting implicitly supported Trump as Republicans typically fare better in low-turnout elections, it's not exactly factual to say that the majority of citizens voted for him

  • Sweden, long known for being neutral (up until joining NATO last year) and peaceful, can by law compel every single swedish citizen between the ages of 16 and 70 to serve during wartime.

    Exactly as you state, almost every sovereign country on the planet likely has some version of this.

  • Starts with green card holders, then it progresses to those who weren't born in the US via denaturalization (as the administration has already started with), and finally it gets to all citizens. The people cheering for this are the ones who don't realize that the leopards will eat their faces sooner or later as well.

    I don't know if it's related to the culture of American exceptionalism, that people are so used to the idea that they're special and that they won't be affected, that they never even stop to consider the possibility.

  • Now you're just moving the goalposts and playing with words. Your initial comment only said

    NATO membership is off the table, virtually no NATO country wants Ukraine to join.

    Which is absolute nonsense.
