Maybe we should invite a million Koreans to change our broken systems.

The GOP Christian Nationalists wanted him all along. He supplanted Cruz who was biblically annointed for the same job but then replaced. They wanted this since before Nixon & that’s how long they been scheming for this day

hurdtohandle.bsky.social•74 days ago

Those that condemned him are also now serving with him

castlecatlady.bsky.social•74 days ago

We better change the Dem party to win because right now we are only whining. We need to advance more bold strategies. We need to flip our Dem committe to younger people. We need to develope younger candidates.

hopefuloptimist.bsky.social•74 days ago

Hold your horses- I don’t think it’s over yet. I’m still holding out hope that TRUTH will prevail.

lsmith1964.bsky.social•74 days ago

When coups are not stopped by the political system, they become entrenched. Then, the only way to end it requires sacrifice and suffering.

zensoul.bsky.social•74 days ago

The entire planet will pay for this horrible election on multiple levels. 💔

kslatteryresist.bsky.social•74 days ago

I hate to say this but maybe it will take 4 years of suffering under Trump to break the MAGA cult spell. South Koreans lived under fascism so know how important it is to fight to keep Democracy.

weatwind11.bsky.social•74 days ago

It won’t. People don’t even remember how bad it was last time. Because the the people who voted for him blame Democrats for all problems

kevyblue.bsky.social•74 days ago

Totally. I said at the outset that we'll get the President we deserve. That's how voting works, like it or not. Now the next four years are going to be a battle, but we are NOT without power, here. We have to take it down while it's operating, reject them not in theory, but to THEIR FACE...

schrodingersmite.bsky.social•74 days ago

You're sadly assuming these brainwashed sheep that swallowed an attempted coup, adjudicated sexual assault charges, 34 felonies, two impeachment, and dozens of open charges suddenly wake up.

They'll gladly continue idol worshiping even if their benefits are cut.

tofanacocktails.bsky.social•74 days ago

They will defend him until they are dead. That is a literal statement.

tofanacocktails.bsky.social•74 days ago

Why? Because they are fragile, pathetic people who are incapable of admitting their ever wrong about anything. They would rather die than do that.

And here we are.

axidentaliberal.bsky.social•74 days ago

Indeed

divinediscontent.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yes. When the world's richest billionaire can throw portions of his wealth to insuring his will is done, can we ever have a fair election again?

wuzzupg.bsky.social•74 days ago

They will need to deal with him/his people accordingly.

lifeisok4me.bsky.social•74 days ago

What many don’t realize is that the alt-right movement isn’t, and has not been, just in the US. There are many countries where this has taken hold & there is a concerted effort to push this global. Look @ the upcoming Canadian election to begin with, Poilievre is supported by many of those leaders.

gcal.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yep. Happening in Europe as well. Far right leader elected in Italy and strong pushes by the far right in Spain.

It’s boiling down to a battle between Corporations and the uber wealthy buying politicians, and the average citizen just trying to live a life and provide for themselves or their family

moldyteeth.bsky.social•73 days ago

Simple truth. They aren’t stupid in South Korea.

rodsdad.bsky.social•74 days ago

If only we were South Korea. When Trump incited January 6th Coup, that would have been his end. But Our Justice System FAILED US.

cullycarsan.bsky.social•74 days ago

I fear that America 🇺🇸 and sadly the rest of the world 🌎 will rue the Republicans lack of backbone🥴

lauriebrookins.com•74 days ago

Mitch let that criminal slither out of all accountability, and right back into the Oval. This is on him as much as low-information voters. He was already 78 years old, well past retirement, married to a vastly wealthy woman. No downsides for Mitch in supporting impeachment and walking away. None.

aungard.bsky.social•74 days ago

Doubt we would fair as well... to many armed whackos who will jump in. And that's if the military isn't called to jump in first.

juliegore.bsky.social•74 days ago

Impeachment doesn’t matter here anymore.

Does SK have a really stupid equivalent to maga?

South Koreans were persistent in getting a vote taken to impeach Yeol. They refused to play Yoon Sul Yeol’s game.

Justice betrayed.

Damn ballons. Why do they have to release thousands of ballons? So destructive.

rojorurba002.bsky.social•74 days ago

90 Milion of us didn’t 🗳️ vote
The Greatest Generation that ever lived is very disappointed in our cowardice. I am deeply ashamed of my country.

hmom.bsky.social•74 days ago

Gosh, I really hate it when balloons are released as a celebration or remembrance. So bad for the environment. As is the incoming administration here in the US, sadly.

qbits4u.bsky.social•74 days ago

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this,..

"DAMN BALLOONS!!
WHAT THE HELL IS SO HAPPY ABOUT FREAKIN' BALLOONS!!"

kemilew.bsky.social•74 days ago

How are people still doing balloon releases? So detrimental.

koolimix.bsky.social•74 days ago

They're clutching their tyrannical pearls.

constitution7.bsky.social•74 days ago

South Korea has shown the world how to protect a democracy. Political leaders from both parties joined together for the good of the country and preservation of democracy. This is how it has to be done.

Are we watching and listening?

travelbug5.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yes a perfect storm of people cowering in the corner instead of doing the right thing. Why is that so hard?

oldhat.bsky.social•74 days ago

I don't think that the republicans feared him. They wanted him to stay. They liked the power that he gave them. They liked him being a tyrant. Even though he'd throw them under the bus at the first opportunity, the republicans still were at his beck and call.

salemthecat1.bsky.social•74 days ago

Unfortunately the notion of "checks+balances" is a mirage. Beyond impeachment there's no formal enforcement for any of it. The system relies on honorable participants to abide by them. The founders never imagined such a corrupt POTUS backed by a feckless & dishonorable congress and supreme court

cmar0561.bsky.social•74 days ago

Republicans didn’t just betray our democracy—they sold it out. They bowed to a wannabe dictator, spewed lies to claw back control, and are fully prepared to burn the country to the ground—lighting the matches with ruthless, calculated intent, terrified of crossing Trump and facing his wrath.

Republicans have lost their way just to maintain power. They set such a bad example for the young.

We could have done this too. Republicans were too cowardly.

trisresists.bsky.social•74 days ago

Infuriating that they couldn’t bring themselves to do the right thing!
Their hypocrisy is mind blowing.

And now we're all paying the price

maddy2024.bsky.social•74 days ago

Taxpayer funded 😠
They lie. They do not get called out for lying. Faux news repeats the lies. Then they get reelected. Because they have everybody convinced of the other you need to vote against.

buzzgrambo.bsky.social•74 days ago

Their country has experienced a dictatorship recently enough to know it's a bad thing.

normbnyc.bsky.social•74 days ago

If they had acted, they woukd have nothing to fear now because much of the natuon would have accepted a unified Congressional condemnation. But Graham cowered, they all hopped on and divided the country.

And the rest of us are going to be dragged along, kicking, screaming into the darkness and suffering. This was, I believe, part of "their" plan.

Republicans are just for show. Don’t ever believe anything they say. Ever.

aiism-priest.bsky.social•74 days ago

South Korean president abused his power to control military and was stopped.

Trump was just incompetent and his fans got out of control.

Democracy won in both cases. Election of stupid people is still part of democracy.

mochachaiguy.bsky.social•74 days ago

MAGA republicans, sycophants, useful idiots and greedy billionaires have turned a once great nation into a sad, sad joke. No longer a true beacon of democracy in the free world… Why are folks resigned to let this 💩🎬 happen?

dustyk504.bsky.social•74 days ago

I wonder if any Maggots even know an attempted coup was committed in S. Korea.

mwayne2.bsky.social•74 days ago

If only the US did to Trump what Brazil did to Bolsonaro after his attempted coup: Bolsonaro was barred from running for elective office until 2030.

piercey69.bsky.social•74 days ago

And this, July 27:
"On Fox News Thursday morning, Donald Trump had a weird instruction for his supporters: they don’t have to vote. “My instruction: We don’t need the votes, I have so many votes,” Trump said .

Elton's money worked. How many pubic officials were paid off so that the results came out in tramps favour?

could be us but we are more worried about eggs than morals

kirby50.bsky.social•74 days ago

Don’t downplay the impact that Garland had. He was so slow in handling the cases against trump that it gave trump and the rest of the 1/6 traitors traction to redefine what happened and their roles.

We will have our day. Two steps forward, 1.9 steps back.

is impeachment actually a real thing? a real question

blondejb59.bsky.social•74 days ago

There is only one way to be rid of Trump now

alanhowe.bsky.social•74 days ago

If Biden does not #DeclassifyTrump, revealing all the intelligence and evidence of Trump's fealty to Putin (by way of kompromat and greed), so we can force the Congress to #ImpeachTrumpNow for treason, that will be our failure to apply enough pressure.

#MoscowMitch owns this. It is his fault we are going through this again.

pnwgeorge.bsky.social•74 days ago

I am old enough to remember when Republican leadership went to Nixon and said, it's over. Republicans have no leadership, they are simply vassals intent on proving their fealty to Trump everyday.

stellar2704.bsky.social•74 days ago

At what we doing to protect our democracy? Nothing, sitting down complaining.

beachieblonde.bsky.social•74 days ago

I wish we could get Americans off of their couches, off of social media & move their frustrations, concerns, and the need to be heard, peacefully onto the streets. But, no. they just won’t do it. Not sure if it’s laziness, or just don’t care enough to do so.
