Americans aren't facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath | Eric Reinhart The US was an oligarchy well before Trump’s first term. Recognizing this reality is essential to building a true democracy

This is a very accurate hypothesis on why you can’t save a democracy you never really had. The people must remove their blinders before shrugging off the yoke to create a better future.

Trump can’t expect Europe’s help dealing with Iran while disengaging from Europe and abandoning Ukraine.

You can’t demand European solidarity in the Middle East while leaving us alone against Russian aggression.

It goes both ways

Thank you to all those who voted for THE FELON who is single handedly destroying the savings of retirees and making it impossible for young people to afford a home or pay for groceries. Real smart.

Higher oil prices = Higher everything prices

Trump just found another way to make your life more expensive. For no real reason. While innocent people die.

Same “short term pain for long term gain” excuse he gave for tariffs. Anyone really buying this?

More like “short term pain for a lot more pain” I think.
