It's what else they'll do with all that juicy personal information that concerns me.
Then again, I (and a lot of other canadians) didn't need any additional reasons to not go there, so it's not changing my plans to stay away from Trumpistan.
In my honest opinion, American exceptionalism should be dead and buried
Should be, but it's such a deeply ingrained part of their national self image that it'll take a few generations of consistent effort to make it fade away.
The difference is what the US is increasingly doing with their surveillance data.
Obviously increased surveillance of the public is a privacy nightmare no matter who is doing it, but when it's being done by a country that is speedrunning fascism and is disappearing people with no due process, it's a much more acutely worrying probelm.
The DNC never seems to undo the damage the GOP does,
It takes a lot more time, effort and money to repair something than it does to break it.
I remember Biden trying multiple times to reduce student debt, only to be thwarted by the Republicans.
The wheels of justice were grinding along at their normal slow pace to convict Trump of some of his provable crimes, all the while being interfered with by Republicans and their nominees.
It takes time to do things the right way. Especially when troublemakers are constantly shoving sticks into the spokes.
It was moving forward, just much more slowly than people wanted
At my work, we have a seemingly endless parade of managers and consultants who have to repeatedly learn why our long-running challenges are, well, challenging. And they all try to apply the same 6sigma, lean, etc. tools. And the corporate managers keep buying new people selling them the same solutions that have repeatedly been shown to not fit our specific problems.
That sounds depressingly similar to the last place I worked.
I'm watching this dumpster fire from afar in horror.
Surely those Americans who claim not to want this will band together and put a stop to it soon?
