    At this point, the citizens have lost all power. They elected people based on their promises, which they haven’t upheld. We have no mechanism to remove corrupt officials except violence

      The French will shut down their entire country if politicians try to increase the retirement age. Americans witness the collapse of democracy and do nothing.

      We need to bring back the old “France Surrenders” meme and replace it with “Americans”.

      Oh, they have upheld their promises - Project 2025’s agenda was in the open well in advance. Too many people actively voted for that - i can only guess at their reasons, but racism and hatred come to mind. And too many people stayed home when they shouldn’t have, closing their eyes to what was happening.

        It was very in the open, but Trump said he didn’t know anything about it, so the sycophants believed him.
