> If our congressmen don't do that it means they approve it.

These needs to be repeated everywhere until people understand it. Same situation with tariffs.

Why would they stop something that a huge majority of people voted for and want?

Trump won the popular vote and if we use logic from above all the non-voters are in fact supporters as well.

As far as I understand the US president is not a king that governs by decree, there's a whole other branch of government also elected to represent the will of the people, a branch where negotiations, debates, voting takes place to determine how the country should be.

People voted for Trump which had as one of its key promises during election "no more wars", perhaps it's ok that the another branch of government stop something which people didn't vote for?

Trump had 2,284,967 more votes than Harris. 77,302,580 people voted for him. That's not a huge majority of people.

It is not even a majority. It was just a plurality.

How come this logic does not apply to democratic politicians? Why is it that them winning election by small margin does not imply that everything they do is good and legit for conservative people like you?

Did they? Or did Trump say no more wars?

Unfortunately, there seems to be no proof he actually won the popular vote.

Trump has admitted openly that he won due to mass tampering with voting machines, and thanked Elon Musk for his help.

Your analogy falls apart.

Citation needed. You lot elected him before, seems likely you elected him again. Pretended he won by cheating instead of because your democracy is in dire need of a refit will do little but alloallow the next facists to win as well.

Not OP. I believe it is from folks like this. It is compelling but it can also difficult to pin down the exact details. They rely mostly on statistics based oddities.

I do appreciate that they are not interested in over throwing the 2024 election, just ensure that any possible gaps are covered for future elections.

Congress voted to stop counting days to allow the tariffs to keep going without having to actually act on it! Congress overruled time passing. These people are fundamentally breakers of reality, aren't just unserious: they are anti serious. RFK and all of this is a perpetrated act to be grossly anti reality, to defy all reason. No reality supports any of what's happening, there's no reality where any of that GOP agenda can win, so they have declared war on reality. https://www.ntu.org/publications/detail/congress-should-not-...

This stopped being alternate realities a while ago, as it became a collective project to form anti-realities.

Yes, if this turns into a mass famine/deindustrialization, Americans are going to own it the way Germans owned the holocaust.

The Germans owned the holocaust because they lost WW2 and afterwards became a vassal state of the Allies and later just the US. History is written by the victors.

The Germans "owned" the holocaust because the Nazis (German) started, conducted, and maintained the systematic collection, extermination, and destruction of certain classes of the population under their control.

Who else should have "owned" it?

I assume the point is that what make them acknowledge and repent from what they did is that they lost the war.

Many massacres and genocides are "owner-less" and obscured by history. To give a few exemple, you might find, but the trail of tears is not as front-and-center in US' history teaching as the holocaust is in German history teaching.

You'll find similar situations for all colonial powers who didn't get dismantled and forced to accept their wrongs after losing a war. You may even go as far as to say that Germany is the outlier here.

It's not genocide to stop handouts to the third world. It's genocide to go around murdering white farmers in mass to take their land, as is happening now in South Africa and previously happened in Zimbabwe.
