minus-squarealcoholicorn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·11 days ago Can you think of any precedent where something like that has happened before? In the US? The closest you’d get is JFK, if you think Allen Dulles was behind the assassination, and not just the coverup. Outside the US?

Replace Trump with JD Vance, who I’m sure will be more amenable to the interests of the capitalist class.
