Calling a fascist a fascist is no more name calling than calling a Canadian a Canadian. Calling someone you don’t agree with or whose opinion you are trying to devalue a snowflake is childish name calling.
I’m fact, Mike Godwin himself said, “By all means, compare these shitheads to the Nazis, again and again. I’m with you.”
Who is this, “we’re all”, that you’ve appointed yourself spokesperson for? Given the poll numbers you’re speaking out your ass.
Name calling? Very mature.
I came here to say this. So many use, “cis” as though it’s a slur then demand support from the people they are throwing the slur at. I’ve been an ally my entire life but I’ve been labeled a transphobe twice over the last several months because I expressed a belief that wasn’t a full throated endorsement of the extremist dogma.
EDIT: The downvotes prove my point. Anything other than absolute unquestioning adherance to the totality of the dogmatic belief system is unacceptable. Keep burning those bridges.
Very much this.
Just look at the TPP. The US tried to write the rules and the rest of the partners said, “No.” The US said, “Screw you guys, we’re going home!” and stormed off in a snit assuming the deal would fall apart without them but it didn’t and it ended up being better without the US imperialist bullshit. Then, US farmers realized that they were getting fucked because the US wasn’t part of the deal ([1], [2], [3]) and the US came back demanding to be let in and the US imperialist bullshit restored to the agreement. Once again the partnerd said, “No”.
Let’s let the US leave whatever they want to leave, renegotiate everything without them, then only let them return under the new terms. The world will be a much better place in the end.
EDIT: Trump ordered the US to withdraw from the TPP because the partners wouldn’t be bullied into accepting one-sided andi-competitive, anti-consumer protections for US industry and a dispute resolution process that favoured the US but that the US would ignore when it lost.
Not only do US companies pay the tariff but they pass it on to their customers and other countries put counter tarrifs on US products.

“Donald J. Trump is the chosen president-elect of the United States in every possible way you can be, a winner in the popular vote and a winner in that marble mausoleum called the Electoral College. The asterisk is not coming back, because this time I am absolutely sure that a majority of my fellow citizens will get exactly what they want. They will get pardons for the January 6 insurrectionists and an end to any federal prosecution of the incoming president, now and forever. They will get attacks on the free press and on political dissent that they have been slavering for. They will get validation for their rage, and an outlet for their promised vengeance, beyond their wildest fantasies. They will get the chaos for which they voted, and which they apparently fervently desire. And there is absolutely nothing that God, man, or the Constitution can do about it, because we did it to ourselves.”
More that 70 million of you a solid majority of the popular vote, just elected a useful idiot fascist dictator wannabe laying the groundwork for a christofascist dictatorship.

As a Canadian I always forget to take the racist factor into account.
Canada has an independent electoral commision that sets electoral boundaries, mostly on geographic borders, like county lines. My electoral district, for example, is Leed, the Grenville, the Thousand Islands, and Rideau Lakes and encompases those four geographic districts. It can also be done by a computer using maximum n-sided polygons with equal populations.
Only in the United States. Canada solved the problem years ago.
If Trump loses there are the next two months of wondering how many people will die around the inauguration, then the next two years of wondering what the project 2027 people are going to do, then…
The only way to stop this is to fix the US system. Fix the courts. Fix the elections. Fix gerrymandering. Fix the right wing control of the media. Fix the lies from the “news”.
Yum. I loved those. That deep, bitter sweet flavour of the molasses. I loved those.
I love those things. The old style dark one that were very firm. Yum.
Trumpists would label them illegal intellectual elitists and hate them.
Last I heard it was 4%.
Maybe it will make 5% next year, then.
Hehehe. Yes.
This will be the best thing that ever happened to Linux. Hell, it might even make it up to 4.5% market share.
Canadian here. I expect the supply of products that would otherwise have gone to the US to go up and the price here to go down. I’ll just wait for the US tariff discounts to hit.
