It's a whole different caliber of right wingers. Some of them not even retards, which makes them much more dangerous, but more predictable. The only thing so far that has been positive for trump is how monumentally stupid he is an how lazy he is, which prevents him from implementing a coordinated plan, it's just random destruction here and there.

Which won't kill (hundreds of) thousands of people, like the covid policy, or usaid, or epa, or CDC shutdowns. It won't abduct people on the street. It won't ban certain religions from entering the country. It won't sell pardons, or shit coins, or shares in a scam to directly benefit the president. It won't crash the economy. It won't put kids in cages. It won't put state secrets in bathrooms, sell classified info to Russia and won't rape anyone.

This wouldn't make it to the top 10 stupid ideas of any week across the pond. Over there you need ID to buy bread and groceries are a hoax (according to the president).

Same way. But there's a difference between proposing a VPN ban and nuking a hurricane.

Well, you collectively elected Trump for president.

Twice.

How many scaramuccis?

Winning and refusing to accept the prize would be a much more powerful message with the biggest audience.

This is a stunt.

Some other things from the 30s, too.

The fine is for Twitter, so if we make it a percentage of value we might end up paying them...

There goes the Nobel prize! What's next, Azerbaijan attacking Albania?

They are not too big to fail for Europe. The EU has fined msft, Google, meta and others. Apple even changed their flagship product to comply.

Why ban them when you can tax them and fine them if they don't comply? Sure, we need to be vigilant of lobbying, but there are no current alternatives to most American tech giants.

Countries have a veto power for most important decisions, precisely to avoid what you described, and for many other things you need a qualified mayority (something like 80% of countries and 80% of population, 9r something like that).

It's more like "you like communism? Look at every single time it has been attempted (on a scale bigger than a village)".
