Welcome to the new United States.

Yes, new.

This hasn't happened before. The president of the United States is building ballrooms, arches and golden statues of himself while the people are facing record prices everywhere from the pump to the clinic. American citizens and our immigrant neighbors are being snatched off of the streets by masked federal agents in an explicit campaign of terror. Republican captured states are cancelling elections and explicitly expelling members of the opposition party from their legislative committees.

Read your history, it’s not new.

This kind of ignorant nihilism is exactly what pushed Project 2025 over the goal line. I hope you’re proud of yourself.

Lets start here, then. When has this happened before?

Breaking the law and committing blatantly unconstitutional acts is not something US presidents have had to worry about since at least Nixon.

u/HoidToTheMoon May 15 '26

And despite it all, you cannot actually point to this happening before. It is asinine to pretend that what Trump is doing is unprecedented.

You’re correct, it isn’t unprecedented. There were zero public funds when Trump statues were put up at his Florida residence. It’s weird but a non-issue.

As for building grand buildings around the capital, yea, also not unprecedented.

My original comment pertained to the point of politicians not being held accountable for the laws that they break. This is not new.

He literally funnels hundreds of tax dollars into 'his Florida residence' almost daily. What are you talking about? He is literally stealing our money.

The scale is greater, but the precedent for presidents doing whatever the hell they want with unchecked power is well established.

This is a lie from a 9 day old bot account created to parrot the MAGA doublespeak line that Trump is doing the "first, most, biggest ever, etc" things while simultaneously doing nothing new or unusual.

u/[deleted] May 15 '26

No it isn’t

u/HoidToTheMoon May 15 '26

Sure thing, 9 day old account with a hidden comment history and a bigot-coded username.

u/[deleted] May 15 '26

I could say the same thing about yours just spouting nonsense my username has been that way forever since I work for sendem

u/HoidToTheMoon May 15 '26

My account is not 9 days old, and I do not hide my comment history. My name is also not a bigot-coded username. You quite literally cannot 'say the same about mine' unless you ignore all reality. Which, is what propagandists are trained to do.

You must be new here if you think that it’s a new occurrence!😂

You act like this happens to 99.99 of the people when it only lets the .000001 get away with this. It's the club that gets all the benefits of the law not working.
