However, seeing Trump coin yesterday made me question if something is unraveling here. How is this even acceptable? How is this not being debated here in HN (the submissions were not upvoted). There has been a lot of political chaos as of late but I do find this to be a quite huge red-flag. How is this not being opposed by anybody? How is nobody investigating this?
People like Musk, pumping in millions of dollars, running fake competitions to register to vote for Trump in swing states, then once winning being included on phone calls to other heads of states and having a top government job (What!?)
Dropping a meme coin days before joining office.
Having a large amount of people that absoutely did not support him previously, suddenly paying lots of money to his inauguration fund. Particularly big tech companies. To carry favour.
The TikTok ban, which started when he was in office and now TikTok are literally sending messages to everyone in the US with his name on and saying when he takes office they hope it gets sorted. That's like brainwashing millions of kids into supporting him, it's an incredibly unprofessional sounding message.
It seems his erratic but bold behaviour has actually worked. He won the election easily and he has got people and the other countries lining up to support him, because they know that is how he works and if they don't, they fear what he could do. It's both terrifying and interesting to watch, how he's managed to get everyone fall inline.
am i wrong lol
Can you explain that in more detail? I live in a rural area and see all the same systems of local government systems here as I did when I lived in large cities. Different scale, same systems. So I truly don't know what you are getting at.
Quite frankly, this is starting to remind me of the lead-up to the civil war.
When you figure out how to investigate a scam perpetrated publicly and openly, or how to effectively “oppose” anything Trump and his sycophants do, let us know.
That being said, blatantly boosting your own meme crypto is bad, yes, but is hardly some indication that the American system is unraveling. It's just one that the correct head is not shy about grifting.
If Trump must be mentioned, the presidential immunity decision is more an indication of any unraveling than crypto grifts.
It is far too easy to claim everyone with a different opinion is a conspiracy theorist.
When people claim that a person is a conspiracy theorist it is a means of shutting down their opinion so that only those others opinions become valid and heard.
People then get frightened of expressing their opinions and views and so you only hear one story.
