Rebuild international good will?

u/Robsurgence Mar 04 '25

Absolutely! That’s some of the worst damage this administration has done. And there’s so much damage one month in.

u/Helopilot1776 21d ago

“Free money” isn’t good will, it’s buying off officials.

1

u/Robsurgence 21d ago

What is this “free money” you speak of?

u/Streszhouna Mar 04 '25

You know, I while respect for the US Government is at an all time low globally, I don’t think it’s directed at the American people. To enforce any demands on our elected officials, we’ll need folks internationally to participate in boycotts.

u/fleebleganger 27d ago

At this point I think it would take a constitutional convention to reclaim our status as leader of the free world. 

Need some overhaul to prevent another trump 

2

u/THEdopealope 27d ago

Maybe amendments to prevent two party systems, citizens united. A concentrated military effort to address foreign propaganda. Freezing of assets and an investigation into all conspirators. An assessment of the degree of foreign intervention. A declaration that Russia has committed [appropriate term of art] on the US depending on the result of that investigation. Protection of workers rights and appropriate taxation to rebuild the middle class and lift up the lower class. A voluntary program with fiscal rewards upon completion, designed to deprogram any maggots willing to admit they need help or love their families/neighbors/country more than Trump, with verifiable results. Because we have lost trust internationally we’ll also need to sort out tons of manufacturing and resource production - maybe as economic development opportunities in underperforming states (cough cough most red states). Restrictions on federal fundings and incentives based on willingness to focus on science based education and proliferation of effective and safe public school systems. An aggressive propaganda campaign that describes why gun buyback programs are patriotic. Later on implement more restrictive gun control rules. Idk list is eternal. 

We need soooo much and full transparency at every step of the way. I don’t think it’s possible.

Going ALL in on Science and stem is a big part of how yall americans ended up here. You're a young country and fuck yall need to value the humanities more if you want long term social stability. It cant just be stem and science like has been pushed for the last 30 years.

What I think would be good is another legislative ‘house’. This would be for 4 year terms (non renewable) comprising of 3 representatives per state. Which would represent income class. The standard would be no felonies and/or high level misdemeanors. And no physical violence and fraud. Also a high school diploma or GEDs

This would behave like jury duty and pay 80k a year or something. Businesses would be required to open a position for you when your time is done.

Then in order for a bill to pass it would require 2/3 houses.

That way two party politics would be checked, more people would be represented, and you wouldnt need to deal with major monetary influence.

Would it slow shit down? Considerably. But if it does, that just means something partisan is trying to be shoved out the door.

This would make America great again. It won’t happen, but it objectively would.

By what mechanism would Trump and Vance be removed?

u/whererusteve Mar 04 '25

Google "the French Revolution"

Revolution isn't a dirty word. It literally means the completion of a cycle. The founding fathers predicted there would be a revolution every generation. We have to stop thinking that a revolution is a bad thing.

Why should people have to die? I don't see why you believe that. Peaceful, nonviolent resistance is possible.

u/ZealousidealTell9891 Mar 06 '25

People forget were all Americans and probably would be friends if the media and politicians didnt tell us to hate each other. Some of my best friends are on the opposite side of the political spectrum.

u/Robsurgence Mar 04 '25

14th Amendment, Section 3 is self-executing. But we can’t seem to get anyone in Congress to stand up and say so.

3

u/Affectionate-Mix6056 Mar 04 '25

Wasn't there already trials about that?

2

u/Tivadars_Crusade_Vet Mar 04 '25

Was trump ever found guilty of insurrection? And how would that remove Vance?

7

u/Robsurgence Mar 04 '25

Supreme Court of Colorado ruled he was guilty of insurrection. Therefore he’s illegally occupying the office, and should not have been certified by Congress. Prez and VP also run as a single ticket, so they are both illegal.

4

u/Tivadars_Crusade_Vet Mar 04 '25

The US Supreme Court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court decision. I'm telling you him being removed isn't going to happen, at least not by this method. And let's say somehow that happens, Vance will not be removed simply because there is nothing in ammendment 14. Section 3 that disqualifies a person from running on a ticket of someone who was disqualified from running. This is a pipe dream.

2

u/Robsurgence Mar 05 '25

SCOTUS did not reverse the decision. They said that only states can decide how their own elections are run. They went on to speculate how Congress could handle that disqualification, but this is dicta and not an official ruling. 14-3 remains self-executing.

Jessica Denson just had a legal scholar on about this very subject tonight. https://youtu.be/CcUzoe6eXvw?si=UScLk3J0NQ_c3dNz

u/fleebleganger 27d ago

What power does the supreme court of Colorado have over the federal government?

1

u/Robsurgence 26d ago

States are specifically given the power to run their own elections and determine which candidates are eligible to run by the Constitution. SCOTUS can’t change that.

u/fleebleganger 26d ago

Correct, however, Colorado saying Trump is an insurrectionist doesnt matter to the federal government, it isnt a reason to boot him from office.

Funny? I’d say more maddeningly frustrating and tragic that this is the situation we’re dealing with.

u/Alexandratta Mar 04 '25

impeachment but the main thing is that he's already violated his oath of office on day one by pushing an Executive Order which violated the Natural Citizenship amendment in the Constitution.

One that EO gets immediately tossed out Impeachment proceedings can begin. Sadly he won't be impeached because he has Congress in Putin's back pocket.

u/BobbySweets Mar 04 '25

Add the fairness doctrine. Make news news again and not propaganda.

2

u/t-mille Mar 06 '25

Expand the Fairness Doctrine to cable networks too. The original law did not.

u/WaltKerman Mar 04 '25

And do what?

u/p0st_master Mar 04 '25

Probably go to jail in a targeted doj prosecution a la what trump said he was up against

2

u/Robsurgence Mar 04 '25

Lawsuits are happening. We need to demand more thorough audits in the swing states. And a paper ballot recount.

u/JaggerMcShagger Mar 04 '25

Citizens United is the single largest contributor to how fucked up things are right now.

And we could easily have those things if the billionaire class didn’t horde all the wealth.

u/anderson1496 Mar 06 '25

None of that. Sounds like higher taxes

u/t0huvab0hu Mar 04 '25

Reinstating the fairness doctrine needs to be in this too

u/jbsgc99 Mar 05 '25

There’s going to have to be a HARSH reckoning with those that participated in this travesty of an administration.

2

u/jmartin2683 Mar 06 '25

We just voted for this overwhelmingly. Trump won, by a significant margin. He did so without deceiving anyone at all about his intentions.

This is just what democracy produced this time. It’s why they let us keep the guns, they just didn’t expect that only half the country would get that and it’d be the same half that’d fall prey to a charismatic dictator

u/UFOatLAX 29d ago

It means it is unapologetically truthful. It's nice to see on reddit, pinned in a sub. For like 8 years this site has been purging progressives. It is heartening to see someone standing up against everything happening.

u/Robsurgence 28d ago

Oh thanks! I thought it might have been a typo of “biased” 🤣

I’m trying to take a stand for truth and justice, and get the word out there.

That whole checks and balances thing that is supposed to happen hasn't really since the Clinton administration.

u/Joshistotle Mar 04 '25

They work for lobbyist groups. That's been made abundantly clear.

u/smithjw13 Mar 04 '25

It’s gonna be very hard to remove, reverse, reclaim when you live in a vacuum. Yes you get a lot of votes here for sounding like a revolutionists. But about half the American population like what’s going on and more than that dont give a shit about what you think.

2

u/Barailis Mar 04 '25

It's not half. Of the total voting population, only 23% voted for him. ~77,302,580 of the ~330,000,000 us pop voted for him. Thats 23% of the total US pop that could possibly vote. So no, not half of America voted for this. He's also losing people now because of his efforts to harm the US.

-2

u/smithjw13 Mar 04 '25

Didn’t say vote…You realize that ppl under 18 have opinions as well. So using the total us population vs registered voters who choose Trump. Be better and don’t manufacture numbers to make yourself sound informed

2

u/Robsurgence Mar 04 '25

They can’t vote, and so they’re usually much less informed. And they are much more willing to trust the nonsense their parents say. Or alt right influencers.

To my great shame, I listened to my parents and voted for Bush when I was 18. That started me down the path to hardcore liberal today.

-5

u/smithjw13 Mar 04 '25

So because you made a decision when you were their age (without the internet, or cell phones, or missions to mars) you are saying a whole generation shouldn’t get a say or that what they think is less important. And because of said sheep decision you are now “hardcore liberal” which is just a rebellion stage imo.

3

u/Nykramas Mar 04 '25

If OP means JR, there was definitely Internet and cell phones. He didn't even get elected until 2000. Even I had Internet and a cellphone by the time he was up for re-election and I'm too young to have voted for Bush.

Its weird that people nowadays think there was no household Internet in the 90s.

2

u/Robsurgence Mar 04 '25

Yup, elder millennial here. It was Bush Jr.

2

u/Robsurgence Mar 04 '25

A 20 year rebellion stage? Laughable. That’s called education. And I learned who the real bad guys are.

Young people are of course entitled to their opinion, and I will respect them. But if those opinions are uninformed, I will call it out as such. If you think Trump has the best interest of the youngest generation, you’ve been conned. Agent Krasnov has been doing this for decades.

You’re clearly not millennial, because we had the internet back then. It just came on a CD and your parents would yell at you to get off the damn computer so they could use the phone.

u/This_Hedgehog_3246 Mar 04 '25

Isn't the reversing the massive cuts to the federal administrative agencies contrary to the idea of ending federal overreach?

Massive federal overreach exploded with FDR and the new deal. Only by ending the massive reach of those federal agencies by dismantling them can we really end executive overreach.

Ending citizens United is a good start, but until you limit the power of government to the point that there isn't a return to be made on buying politicians, you'll never get money out of politics.

u/Saeroth_ Mar 04 '25

Reclaim really needs the Fairness Doctrine back

u/Eec2213 Mar 04 '25

This would be a great first stepping stone!

1

u/GreenHocker Mar 04 '25

And after all of that is done, we need to also end political parties so there isn’t some large bag of money supporting candidates that the public didn’t ask for or want

Let’s make things about the individual and their policies and not about what fucking color tie/dress the politician is wearing

u/DumbMoneyMedia Mar 04 '25

u/Trojanlamb Mar 04 '25

So to stop executive over reach one must executively over reach

1

u/Robsurgence Mar 04 '25

No, one must respect the Constitution, and utilize the standard-length totally-agreed -upon arm of the law.

Amendment 14-3 says no insurrectionists.

Constitution says no kings.

Reduce: reduce the amount of political content you consume

Reuse: reuse your original gender

Recycle: remake the entire news cycle

u/welderguy69nice Mar 04 '25

Trump won because people were feeling smothered at the cost of every day expenses and a weak Democratic candidate thrust upon as right before the election, not because of identity politics.
