This is not normal.

No, none of this is. However, at first glance, it seems like the sort of edit that would be made in protest by a webmaster.

True, but I’m glad they are making it public. The old US is gone; time to figure out where we go from here.

+1, better to know what you’re up against from a shared reality consensus.

Well, the first step is cutting out the cancer, healing can not begin until then.

By "cancer" do you mean ~50% of the US population? That sounds pretty extreme. What does "cutting out" the cancer mean here?

I am talking about removing fascism. Remove its supporters from office, jail the ones who broke the law, and reverse any fascist laws or policies that have been put in place.

Also, Trump does not have the support of 50% of the population. At best he has 20% of the popularion which are very vocal plus the support of many of the richest americans.

Hang on…you think 50% of the US population supports what is going on right now?

My estimation is 5% of the US is fully supportive, 15% are manipulated into thinking that all of this is necessary through very selective coverage, and some 10% don't necessarily like everything, but still prefer this over "other team" being in charge.

Meanwhile, 50% live in apathy (be it due to burden, a means of escape, or otherwise)and that's probably the biggest shame. I can only hope enough of those people rise up or wake up before it's truly irreversible. There's probably so much damage as is to take decades to repair.

40% support it and 15% don't care either way.

Sounds like maybe a positive spin on the erosion of the fundamental building blocks of our democracy. This to me is a strange take, if I’m reading that correctly, what do you mean by it?

I mean that the US, my country, effectively ceased to exist in its old form on January 20, 2025. The Trump regime has been working aggressively to destroy all vestiges of our democracy and replace it with autocratic rule.

This is some bullshit and pisses me off, but here we are.

While I’m not happy they are changing the text of the constitution on this website, I’m glad they are such bumbling idiots about it.

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.”

Hahaha -- making "it" public by cutting out the part of the constitution that says that we can have a Navy. What are you even talking about?
