This country is in a coma and I don’t see it waking up anytime soon

We need to stop acting like Americans are just unaware of what’s happening. They just don’t care

Cutting Medicaid and allowing climate change to run it’s course sounds absolutely hideous.

not till you get about 217 people to agree with you.
give or take.
And then you still need about 50 more.

I honestly think we will wake up within the next 1.5 years. It won’t be some economic thing. It’ll be Trump pushing his control into literally everyone’s faces.
Trump is about control. Period. That’s what he’s after.

“When the country wakes up”.
There’s been time for that the last 4 years and half the country will never wake up. They are in a cult

Why the fuck would this country wake up? This shite place has been enabling this since Bush at least.
Nah, don’t count on your fellow voters our fellow Americans. Americans wanted this. Americans wanted they voted for this!
GIVE THE AMERICANS WHAT THEY VOTED FOR!

The fatal flaw is that the country is probably not going to wake up.

>“For my Republican colleagues who are sure what is in and not in this bill, in this process that has been this rushed, when you wake up this morning, you will realize that you voted to …take away health care from 13.7 million Americans,” she said. “When this country wakes up in the morning, there will be consequences to pay for this,” she said.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is correct in that „there will be consequences to pay for this bill“- only they will be much worse than 13.7 million Americans losing health care.
Today, the orange fraud posing as POTUS must be ecstatic—because the Republican House just cleared the way for the Senate to deliver a final, deadly blow to our democracy. This so-called „budget“ bill hides a poison pill that neuters the Supreme Court and all federal courts by blocking them from enforcing contempt citations against the administration. In plain English: no court can hold Trump’s government accountable for ignoring injunctions or restraining orders.
This means Trump will be free to trample the Constitution with illegal tariffs and unlawful executive orders, immune from judicial checks and balances. It’s a brazen power grab that turns the courts into powerless bystanders, effectively making Trump a king above the law.
This hidden provision is not just traitorous—it’s an existential threat to democratic governance. If Congress passes this, it signals the end of accountability and the rule of law in America. The GOP crime syndicate is weaponizing the budget to dismantle the very institutions meant to restrain authoritarianism. We’re watching the slow death of our republic, and it’s happening right before our eyes.
Wake up, everyone. This isn’t just politics—it’s a coup cloaked in legislative jargon.
>**The Hidden Provision in the Big Ugly Bill that makes Trump King**
>So what’s next? Will the Supreme Court and lower courts hold the administration in contempt and enforce contempt citations? Not if the Big Ugly Bill is enacted with the following provision, now hidden in the bill:
>“*No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued…*.”
>Translated: No federal court may enforce a contempt citation.

Worth mentioning this bill would have never passed the house, had 3 elderly Dems not died in the past 3 months. Ran for reelection only 7 months ago. This is why we need to primary the older dems who refuse to get out of the way.

Can the rest of the country wake up already…i’m kinda tired of staying awake.
ChaseThoseDreams on
They’re not waking up until they feel the financial pain. Problem is, so many will blame immigrants and trans people before they blame the corporate cash that is hoarding money, buying up every property and business, and keeping people in lifetime debt while they keep dousing gasoline on a burning world, all in the pursuit of constant gains.

No there will not be any consequences, Merrick Garland and Biden taught us that

that’s sweet of you AOC, but this country will never wake up. It’s too far gone.

Hoping for the country to wake up is a delusion. The MAGA cult is all about cruelty, even when it happens to them.
ToubDeBoub on
Consequences. Haha. Like not voting GOP for one election cycle then forgetting about it.
Civil-Drive on
I’m doubting enough Americans will wake up in time. Things have already gone so far out of control and non of the republicans who could put a stop to this are willing to risk their positions to do the right thing.

MAGA will not wake up. They drank the koolaid and it killed their brain cells. Most of my family are MAGA. They don’t live in reality.
Ohnoherewego13 on
I wish I could be optimistic like AOC. Unfortunately, a third of this country is all „choke me harder, daddy!“ while another third or so simply doesn’t care. It’s downright depressing to realize that too.

Problem is I’ve given up on this group of selfish uneducated morons that are the American people ever waking up.

Everyone is misunderstanding this because of the headline. If you read the article she said „wake up in the morning“. She didn’t mean that figuratively. She meant actually waking up in the morning because they passed this bill in the middle of the night last night.

I wish she was right, but let’s be real. We’re less than 100 days until football starts and a large swath of the country will simply be tuning out.

As much as I like her, I very much doubt there will be any kind of waking up going on.

People don’t just wake up. They must be forced awake.
All our jobs and commitments, entertainment and misrepresentation, keeps us in a stupor.
We don’t take responsibility for our society, and we are content with being kept, wallowing in apathy and pessimism.
Only when we try and succeed in making systemic change, then could we be convinced to take the reins.
Until then, we’ll just be munching on popcorn on a sinking ship while the PA system tells us there may be some turbulence.

That’s why the bill doesn’t have the Medicaid cuts beginning until December 2026. They want to get through the midterms before the pain sets in and people turn on them.

This country isn’t waking up. It’s sleepwalking through it’s second trump presidency. This country is in an induced coma and has a terminal disease.
AmericantDream on
54% of US citizens ages 16-74 read at a 6th-grade level. Sorry but even if this country woke up they wouldn’t know what to do. Look what Trump did in his first term. Trump tariffs destroyed soy farmers and the steel industry during Trump’s first term. But the farmers and steel workers voted for Trump again in 2020 and 2024. Americans are too gullible and have no critical-thinking skills. The average voter is a moron.
