Arizona Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill Donald Trump and Family
Jingthing replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Of course the rule of law needs to be respected and political violence eschewed. The trouble is that Trump and Maga embrace it. -
Very true. If he had gotten lucky, and autocratic felon Trump hadn't won, it wouldn't have been as bad but he set it up so that there was very little chance of stopping him. Also, not helping Ukraine early enough with enough will be seen as a huge mistake. Also his immigration policy. There are positives too, but overall not so good.

American Exceptionalism: Reality or Just a Myth?
Jingthing replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I'm with Obama on this one. Every country thinks they're exceptional. America does have differences. It has pros and cons like every other nation. It's not the best place to live in the world, and it's also not the worst. Countries and civilizations tell stories about themselves. The stories don't need to reflect truth but stories are important in human culture. -
Suggest watching the Inside Russia youtube channel. There exiled Russian Konstantin (expert in economics and energy industry) has been predicting Russia's economic melt down for years now.

OK, I get it. This sounds sensationalist and it's obviously not something that if it ever happens will happen soon. HOWEVER -- The fact that this is even being talked about is another sign of the seriousness of the situation of autocrat Trump coming back to power. Why? Well, normal decent American presidents try to be presidents of ALL the states. Not just states where they have a lot of support. Trump has already shown a pattern of wanting to PUNISH states (and cities) with leadership and voters who oppose his extremist maga autocrat agenda. I'm not saying this will really happen. Nobody can predict the future that way. But such split up of countries is actually not rare in world history, ancient and more recent. As long as we're talking about the U.S. splitting up, personally I wouldn't want to join Canada even if Canada wanted to acquire U.S. states. I think new INDEPENDENT countries would be much better. The Northeast for sure but also the Pacific Coast States. Four States Could Secede From US and Join Canada to Avoid Trump—Democrat - Newsweek

Trump's insistence that ALL of the candidates for senate leader must pledge to allow recess appointments (giving up the senate's power of ADVISE and CONSENT) was yet another dark sign that Trump intends to rule as an autocratic DICTATOR, as much as is possible, and a lot will be possible. As far as silly people saying the maga autocrats can't just change the constitution on the fly so not to worry. You don't need to change the constitution. You can just ignore it knowing there won't be any consequences as per the almost total power given the presidency recently by the maga controlled Supreme Court.
