Is the United States now, for all practical purposes, a dictatorship?

We have changed as a nation.

[quote] Clearly we still have free speech and a free press.

LOL! No, you don’t.

If we didn’t you wouldn’t have enough information to dispute the assertion, R2, would you?

Now shut up, before we snatch Greenland from your dumb ass.

Once you start deporting your own citizens and arresting judges, it's hard to argue otherwise.

I'm not R2 but do you think that Europe is a country R3?

Of course she does, R5.

Notice the "we" in "we snatch Greenland". As if that would be something to be proud of, attacking one of your oldest allies and blowing up NATO.

But then again, maybe that is what needs to happen. Let Trump isolate the US even more, through tariffs and withdrawing from NATO. With a northern neighbour who can't stand you anymore and European allies who've had it with you, that second-world country will finally be up for grabs for the likes of Xi and Putin.

But then again, the mental lightweight that is R3 still believes America has a "free press", with articles in the Bezos-owned WSJ being pulled and censored in favour of King Trump and his heinous Project 2025. If it weren't so sad, R3's delusions would be entertaining.

Poor, poor, little R3.

Poor R3 isn’t aware of the difference between The Netherlands and Denmark.

R3 trotting out “we saved your asses in WW2” in any moment now.

Never mind R3 - it must be very embarrassing being American these days.
