It’s a rank, not a name. And our military is huge

The country is and always has been based on fuckfaces owning and operating it, tRump is just a symptom, not the disease.

Like…even right now?

No, not right now but its still not the worst place to live. The administration is doing their best to make it the worst place though.

It’s been less than 1/8th of a year. We have 7 more of these and some change to go. Saying it’s not the worst place to live right now is like noticing a little bit of gangrene on your pinkie and thinking “it’s not so bad.”

What specifically has the administration done to make it the worst place to live? Im curious.

You mean aside from attacks on trans people, immigrants, citizens who they suspect are immigrants, starting to make a list of autistic people (probably to put us in camps later), wrecking the economy, taking away entitlements to give to his rich cronies, and emboldening white supremacists and neonazis with his audible nazi dog whistles and general behavior?

Not the person you asked, but I have answers.
A friend of mine depends on government assistance to get his psych meds because he is very very crazy, but has been doing well for a decade as long as he gets his pills. The unstable rollout of DOGE created a temporary situation where it seemed like his meds would no longer be paid for, and the stress of it drove him into a delusional episode. That episode cost him his job, which cost him his housing, which has nearly destroyed his life in a matter of months. All that due to piss poor communication and giving huge power to a billionaire who has never worked in government before so he can take a chainsaw to any program he wants—a decision that even the administration seems to realize now was a terrible idea.
I live on the border. I used to be able to cross from Mexico to the US in under 15 minutes on the average day. Customs was well staffed, and the process was orderly. Very soon after Trump was elected, they started spreading out the border patrol staff to have a bunch of them stand directly at the border line and check for passports and/or immigration documents—exactly the same documents they will check for 2 minutes later at customs anyway. This has led to understaffing at the actual customs checkpoint, and now it takes around an hour a lot of the time.
One of my best friends is a trans woman, and now her identity isn’t even acknowledged by the President of the United States—a disrespect towards a citizen that should be unacceptable in a democracy.
I can keep going if you like…
