Because the question is not what should happen but about what you think will (likely) happen.
Based on the past this answer is the most likely by a huge margin even if depressing.
I will never not be angry that we are made to believe these types of comments are genuine discourse. Why is it defeatism is always the top comment even when your talking about a pedophile president?

Delusional people expect everyone to be delusional with them. “3 days after SNAP is cut there will be revolution in the USA!”. Yeah, for sure buddy.

this is you problem, sorry. that is the appropriate response to repeated pattern of inaction and no accountability. you would rather, what, be stupidly optimistic because it makes you feel good? too bad lol this is reality.

If you (the American people) don’t hold your politicians accountable for what they do, no one else will

Unfortunately this is the sad reality we live in. Trump could outright admit it himself on national broadcast, and his cult would still follow him.

Look, man. If any of us did 1% of Trump’s crimes, we’d be in prison… So there’s that.

They aren’t wrong, haven’t you been paying attention? I doubt there’ll even be the 30 seconds.

Because I’m tired of this illegitimate felon squatter in the White House getting away with all this bullshit and any time he “takes a loss” all he has to do is nothing.
Court orders mean jack shit if he can just ignore them and have no consequences. I don’t even k ow why they’re so scared of this Epstein stuff. Like they’ll have any real consequences? What’s gonna happen, a strongly worded letter of disapproval?
“Loss” after “loss”, and no consequences that mean anything. It’s hard to have faith when this happens over and over again.

It’s only defeatism if you refuse to adapt and escalate to stop it from being true.

Seeing as the commenter is Norwegian, there is not more for them to do than to nod unsurprisingly at the news and encourage everyone to divert faster away from everything US made to hit carrot top where it hurts.

It’s kinda funny that you call this opinion a shitpost. Is this some really brainy meta post or do you just not know what a shitpost is?

Because “Both Sides Bad” and “Nothing Ever Changes Except to Get Worse” is how jaded dumdums get through the day, I don’t know what to tell you lol

Are they wrong though?

In this case, the post was asking for people’s expectations regarding this story specifically, and the response is entirely valid. It’s very reasonable to think that this one news story isn’t likely to be the tipping point.
It’s different when people reply to every story that is in any way bad for Trump with a comment about how none of it matters, nothing will change, and no one cares. As though anything that doesn’t result in Trump being immediately impeached, incarcerated, or inhumed is completely worthless. Much like how sit ups are useless because no matter how many I do today, I still won’t have a six pack when I’m done.
All those comments do is demoralize people and discourage them from trying to support opposition to Trump in any way.

Turns out by they you mean you. Well if you’re stupid enough and loud enough you and “they” can make yourselves be correct. Look where we are. Congratulations! You’re stupid, loud and dangerous too!

I’m not entirely sure what point you’re trying to make here.

Manifest destiny

Believing in the manifestation of ones own destiny is far too close to victim blaming for me.
And for that reason, I’m out.
