Is anyone else here just kinda... scared? Like it doesn't seem things will get better in the slighest. I'm scared and ashamed of what my country is doing but I am powerless to stop it.
Yes I'm exactly the same way and I'm terrified. Nothing will ever get better and it's all one downward spiral into total nuclear annihilation. I'm too much of a pussy to kill myself but you should do it for the both of us.

There are a million factors that warp your perception when you hang out online. The Internet is the ultimate in gas-lighting. Online, during Covid, it seemed I was one of a small handful of people who didn't accept the narrative. When I stepped outside and talked to people, the majority thought the same way I did. And the people who did go along with the narrative well on the whole, they honestly weren't that nice. Ditto many other things.

The entire system is designed to make you not act. You're not powerless, and you're probably not a minority in your beliefs either. They just want everybody thinking that they are.
 
Tucker Carlson is a joke. He seems to believe the leftist myth that if big mean America stayed out of everyone’s business, the whole world would be peaceful. That is an embarrassingly stupid position
The idea isn't that the whole world will be more peaceful if America stayed out of everyone's business as much as America itself will be more peaceful and more importantly, America would be more healthy and rich if we stayed out of foreign wars and affairs. It's a very simple concept.
 
Oh good, if this happens they should get negative votes with how disgusting Ching Chong is.
It literally would have saved the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars if they tied her tubes after her first out of wedlock child instead of letting her birth 7 kids with missing fathers.
We need mandated tubal litigation for all skanky single mothers instead of letting them run wild birthing new kids that they'll never be able to feed themselves.

Her Tiktok account is beyond parody! She's an unemployed single mother of 7 bragging about all the free junk food and free gibs she got from the taxpayers. /pol/ couldn't make a better stereotype of a sheboon than she's doing right now
And speaking of disgusting. In any sane society, this creatures would be made capital examples of.
 
To be fair this thread can be kind of a conservative hugbox, but most of the people you’re talking about come in here with the intention of starting shit by smugly saying something to the effect of “wow, I can’t believe you voted for a candidate who wants to LITERALLY KILL YOU!” before acting like everyone else is retarded for not immediately agreeing with them because of their le epic takedown.

Also they’re going into a thread full of posts they know will upset them, and then they’re shocked when they’re upset.
Libs can't handle even the existence of spaces that aren't theirs because they don't actually know anything, and finding things out causes them extreme cognitive dissonance. About the only thing they have anymore is arguing that socialized medicine would be better. There's some actual opinion there (they're still wrong), but it's the one area of politics where the entire subject isn't governed by incontrovertible facts that they are simply wrong about from both a high-level view and in minute detail (though they are usually wrong about the facts there, too, like wait times and quality of care in the UK).

Just look at two things that came up in this thread that libtards all across social media are repeating. One is there were no extreme weather deaths in Texas from 2021-2024. That was easy to disprove. In fact, Texas hit a record for heat deaths, and there were some pretty bad storm-related casualties, too (Mother Nature hates Texas). Next was libtards claiming Medicaid funds don't get spent on Medicaid illegals (typo). Oops, turns out liberal state medical programs like Medi-Cal and the Oregon Health Plan admit illegals and receive most of their funds from Medicaid.

Anyone who is a lib in 2025 by necessity is repeating lies from trusted sources, because every single thing left-wing media and politicians say about everything that matters is 100% diametrically opposite from the truth. No, the "Maryland man" wasn't here legally. Yes, he was a gangster and criminal. No, COVID-19 wasn't super deadly. No, the vaccine wasn't safe. Yes, it did leak from a lab. No, black neighborhoods aren't "overpoliced." Yes, they do commit a lot of crime. Yes, illegals commit a lot of crime, too. Yes, they do rely on Medicaid funds for their health care. No, the weather doesn't change when a Republican takes office. No, there is no "LGBTQ-Muslim alliance." No, gay men aren't healthy. Yes, trannies really are 40x more likely to be sex criminals. On and on and on.

Even observing a right-wing space from afar inflicts one hateful fact after another on the lib's psyche, which causes him extreme mental distress. Either he is a dupe who is constantly being lied to by people he trusts, or...or...best to just demand the space be closed down for "hate speech" so he doesn't have to keep being confronted with facts.

What are you afraid of specifically?
I'm scared that things will just objectively get worse for the average American. Medicaid cuts, SNAP and other things are objectively happening and even if you pull the "durr it's meant to weed out illegals" I'm still just very unsure that it will 100% full stop negate actual citizens in the prosecution. This culture war is just a front to make QoL worse and make people in charge richer
I'm scared that I might not be able to afford doing things I wanted to just because of what this admin has done. It's making me really reconsider staying in the country if I'm being honest, something I genuinely never thought of a year ago.

It's hard to remember this since most of my IRL friends are liberal yet constantly mention how powerless they are in the face of all this

Some cattle get beaten in one direction, some cattle beaten in the other. They're all kept on the same road to the same slaughterhouse. At some point whatever direction they want to wander off in, they need to realise it's a few hundred guys with sticks walking up and down a line of millions.

You know, all politicians say "if the other guy wins and/or executes his policy agenda everything is going to go to hell and all will suffer". If it puts your mind at ease, you still live in the most wealthy and prosperous society in all of history. And if Trump really is as bad as you think he is, he will lose the mid terms and Republicans will loose in 2028. Why stress?
From my experience with actual third world living, short term fuck ups only really do minimal damage and they tend to work themselves out. Even if Trump ends up being bad there is only so much damage you can do in 4 years. The real bad things happen on a more long term scale. Mismanagement takes 20+ years to mature and spread.

I'm just curious, which changes to medicaid and SNAP will affect you? The work requirements for those without a disability?

A simple way to know if someone is MIGA rather than MAGA is by hatred of Tucker but 'support' of Trump.
 
This culture war is just a front to make QoL worse and make people in charge richer
Meanwhile a study has been released that shows that 60% of Americans can’t afford ‘minimal quality of life’. I remember it being reported during Obama’s tenure that minimum wage finally became unable to support a single person living alone throughout the US.
If you think that shitty QoL is down to anything Trump is doing, you’re not paying attention. This is intentional managed decline, designed to suppress fertility for people that would otherwise not be reliant on the government to survive.

The thing actually making QoL worse and people in charge richer is immigration.

A large part of 'the culture war' is immigration policy.

If you're pro immigration you are the reason a minimum wage is even necessary.

Everyone who says 'muh culture war doesn't mean anything/isn't important' should re-evaluate what they think that term even means. It encompasses everything from anti-white, anti-native sentiments to trannies in women's restrooms to whether or not the government should make immigrant (asylum, legal, illegal) rape/sexual assault statistics public. No, it is not 'a front'.
