They’re trying, but i legit don’t see how it would make a difference. Their only option is to try and lock down the domestic market by making ai work legally copyrightable by companies. By using US law to give companies the profits using stolen training data, they’d be basically subsidizing the industry. Investors will naturally subsidize the tech since they can now put it into big budget projects without fear of legal issues, and we’d see ai take over Hollywood blockbusters and shows.

Of course, such an approach would further undermine the US in the long run, as our rush to twist ip laws would not be embraced by everyone. Most countries aren’t as hyper capitalist about their media, and flooding the market with low quality slop would only make the US entertainment industry more irrelevant globally.

It’d be yet another capitalist grift that destroys the empire, dooming our country to some truly dark times. There’s always the possibility that those with power will see the wisdom in reformation, but I really doubt it. Our current generation of politicians are too brainrotted by neoliberalism to every compromise wealth for the sake of anything, including the long term survival of the country. It wouldn’t take much to convince most of them to embrace breaking up the nation, which would mean mass death and war. I’m not optimistic that the end of the US would be anything more than a feudal shit show.

now i really wanna see this…

It sounds like it was probably like getting thrown over your parent’s shoulder and hung upside-down, but it certainly is more extreme

A shame you seemed an honest man

Translation: “most Americans will not be represented by our party”

Democrats and Republicans both seek to represent billionaire interests more than any other. The Democrats see billionaires unhappy with the fascist order not being totally under their control, so they seek to reshape the party to attract them.

This is why I say we need to leave the party behind; they are dead set on abandoning popular policies and that cannot go unanswered. By continuing to vote blue, we’d be embracing apathy. The dream of a better future dead in the water. Land of the slaves and home of the cowards.

Absolutely not. They were systematically shaped into cowardly yesmen before Trump reascended to the presidency. It’s why he drove out Kevin McCarthy out despite his loyalty, and why he chose JD Vance as his VP. It’s why billionaires and capitalists feel “politically homeless” right now; Trump is the party and no independent power is allowed. If they seriously threaten him, he has the full violence of a dictator with his own personal police force. He’s burning through America’s imperial power to solidify his own position, and that well is far too deep to soon run dry.

Assassination or more likely death from old age are the only way this nightmare ends.

Bold to assume this nightmare is still tied to 4 year election cycles anymore. He’s never leaving office alive, and after him there’s a gaggle of oligarchs who will be looking for new strategies of pillaging.

I love obvious plants

I for one am glad to see the legend return

Ah, to be but a humble meatwad with a gf in a politically compromising outfit. I know the feeling

Literally nobody. Even an alliance of Russia+China+EU+help from Canada and South America would lose. The US is geographically impossible to invade, and this can only change if the US breaks apart.

As the federal government gets fucked and our influence on the world stage plummets, it’s in the best interest of every empire on earth to stoke regional division in the long run. It won’t be hard to convince the future rulers; all you need is to promise oligarchs and warlords a kingdom of their own to run so long as they dismantle the federal government. This will be an absolutely awful experience and things will not settle down or become less violent.

The US military will take a while to deconstruct and I’m not sure how long it will take, but it won’t happen under Trump’s rule. I have no doubts that he can maintain control until he dies, so we better count ourselves lucky that he’s already so old. If he had more than a decade left on the clock, we’d be even more fucked than we are now.
