Counterpoints: It is, in the present tense, not working.

In case anybody hasn’t gotten the memo, this is in fact bad.

They’re both the billionaire party; one is the KKK billionaire party while the other is the rainbow billionaire party.

The only unique thing about Trump is that he’s bringing the evil America likes to export abroad to its own soil, but that’s not the point I’m making here. In criticizing Trump Americans (including you in your parent comment) tend to defend the pre-Trump status quo and past administrations. Sure Trump is uniquely autocratic, but that doesn’t mean evil ghouls like Obama and Clinton deserve anything other than condemnation.

Where do I find those “presidential rankings” and does killing half a million children affect one’s spot in them?

Looking at the other comments, you seem to have too much faith in humanity.

There are plenty of leftist populists elected in South America, yet those countries stay poor and crime-ridden.

Not exactly South America, but Mexico disagrees. Bolivia too. Leftist populists aren’t miracle workers, but they do have a pretty good track record.

Not gonna shed too many tears over this.

I wonder where I’ve heard this before.

Why specifically August 19 2031?

Remigration plot twist.

I mean, Takaichi’s cabinet is a new high in Japanese government stupidity so Japan is getting there, they just need time.

Fair enough.

Hey, speak for yourself, some people actually like them for it (mainly those with a neglection fetish).

Haven’t heard of any vote, got a link?

I’m sure that, since a blockade is an act of war and it’s not within the president’s power to declare war, Congress will act any second now to stop this problem from escalating. Right? RIGHT?!

No, primarily because of human rights, but also because they don’t really work as marketed. As seen from this map, plenty of places with much less draconian laws are doing comparably or straight up better to the Asian countries you’re talking about. The lowest drug use rates in the world are in fact in Sub Saharan Africa, followed by the Indian Peninsula and the Middle East and the rest of the Global South. East Asia isn’t high by any means, but it’s not low either.

Would be amazing if they decided to, I dunno, do a full-scale civil war reenactment to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the end of the original.

This technology is supposed to be for disaster response (sending cockroaches to check for survivors under rubble and stuff), but yeah that sounds about right. I wonder how long it’ll take until they put bombs in these.

Yeah that’s not “potato potato” that’s called fucking lying. Criticizing the options offered and preaching disengagement are two completely different things. It’s completely possible to denounce genocide Joe and “nothing comes to mind” Harris and call not for less, but for more (and more radical) engagement. No way in hell, say, Uncommitted was “preaching disengagement,” and if you feel the need to lie about people for opposing genocide you should seriously reconsider your beliefs.
