This is the country with the nukes, subs, carriers, and troops in everybody else's backyard.
Europe and the rest of NATO, I think y'all need to figure your shit out without us. Make plans now.
I don't get it though. "My wages are shit, so I'll vote for the hyper capitalist oligarchs who will make sure my wages stay shit".
Punching oneself in the face is not the cure for a bloody nose.
They took the pistol out of the person's hand that was pointed at them and replaced it with a bazooka. Good job. Very well thought out /s.
How do you not get this?
Every cycle there is a fresh new batch of voters. I'm sure most of the people who voted for Obama the first two times didn't throw their vote in for Trump.
I hate to say this, but from what my kid tells me, Trump is more popular at his middle school than Kamala, just because he's the goofy meme president and they aren't aware of much else. This is in the middle of Baltimore. So I imagine a lot of voters choose based on that alone. We never got any Biden or Kamala centipede memes. Just that lame, forced, "dark Brandon" shit. The Democrats have become the stuffy old boomer party in the eyes of the youth, even though that's almost the exact opposite. Their Internet game is weak as hell, and that's what matters these days.
They came in as bumbling idiots and still managed to wreck a few things, thankfully we still had some institutions left to push back on him the first time.
They have a detailed takeover plan and a sympathetic supreme court now. Things are a little bit different.
Does nobody care about the facts anymore?
We created giant server farms to come up with hallucinations and lies on demand, using the equivalent power draw of entire countries.
You can do it, we can help!
That's basically how IGBTs in power electronics work, in stuff like trains and electric cars. It's a sensitive, easily activated voltage-driven MOSFET driving a larger BJT transistor in a chain.
Also how Darlington pairs work. So, yeah, maybe they could do all the computation at that level and then cascade the output through larger transistors to talk to the outside world.
Half a century of sabre-rattling and proxy wars with another superpower with an opposing ideology will do that to a country. It's going to take a long time before "socialism" isn't a dirty word here, if ever. The Cold War fucked us, ideologically. We still cling to raw capitalism like the Bolsheviks are hiding around every corner. This stuff is still huge in living memory, my own included. As a kid spending my childhood under Ronald Reagan, I'd often hear about the Berlin wall and how it was being used to keep people from escaping to the West. Which is true, yes, but it was definitely also used as a propaganda tool here, a showcase of what "socialist thinking" can bring.
