None of this would be necessary if all of the traitors would have been send to jail after Jan 6.

While this is true, I think we can trace all of this back to 1865. Replacing Trump isn't enough, the post Trump years will need a new Reconstruction and the relegation of the gang of pdffiles to the dustbin of history.

current usa politician class will not do the necessary reconstruction and reeducation for the south

if it didn't happen during 1860 the chance are significantly lower now

there is no institutional and bureaucratic way out of this

Yes, I've long since resigned myself to the fact that institutions will need to be rebuilt following the smoking crater named Redacted. Foreign policy and World standing may never recover.

Brought to you by the party of "reduce government spending":

GOP bill would fund $1B in White House "security upgrades" for Trump’s ballroom

Yes, the supposedly "privately funded" government ballroom is now requesting a massive inflow of taxpayer money. For a ballroom.

Have to respect the grift

how do usa political class become so bad at manufacture consent compare to 20 year ago

it is not just the addition of internet and new media

their propaganda ability have obviously atrophied

That's just the natural order of things. Moles have bad eyesight, Moa had no wings despite being birds. We don't have gills.

If you don't need it, you lose it; that's just evolution. If your leaders will never be held to account then they stop justifying stuff properly. Because they simply don't need to.

Virginia Supreme Court strikes down Democrats’ redrawn US House maps, giving Republicans a win

Well, if the Pubs retain the House this fall, I'll know the fix is in and the nation is heading toward single party rule.

Absolutely disastrous local body elections for Labour and Keir Starmer in the UK. Just as bad really for the Conservatives too, though they had a lot less to lose.

Better ban a few more protest groups and rallies, I'm sure that will fix the problem. Pretty good results for everyone with a cause like the seperatists or greens though- or a 'cause', like Reform.

Lots of Labour people saying that when push comes to shove voters won't go for Farage and he isn't really likeable or electable and when push comes to shove they'll come back to Labour. Usually, sure, but not if there's the one two punch of you offering an unliked and uncharismatic leader pushing the millstone of status quo up hill like an artificially cheery and seemingly unaware* Sisyphus. Literally the only thing Starmer seems to passionately believe in is giving Israel carte blanche and suppressing anyone who complains. An utterly terrible look for someone whose prior claim to fame was being a human rights' lawyer. At least he's not the 'unelectable' Bernie Sanders Jeremy Corbyn, I guess. Whose Labour got half a million more votes in 2019 than Starmer's did at the last election. Though you'd never know from the media coverage.

Very much "no, it's the kids voters who are wrong" on display from both Labour.

*If there's one thing I hate in British politics it's the way everyone talks the same overly PRed and media coached way. Projects almost exactly the same air of honesty and integrity as a Nigerian Prince scam.
