This works in a functioning society where court orders are followed, laws are followed, institutions aren’t gutted and the executive isn’t seizing control of elections. Sure in normal times let them hang themselves.
But this time is different. Even if the maga cult turns, they actually aren’t affected by bad policy, blunders, unconstitutionality, economy, polling … They’re in and they’re in for life unless they’re removed by force
This is insane.
Even if this was actually what people wanted, how do you just roll over for fascism? What fucking bizarre outlook.
This isn’t tit for tat, left of center versus right of center boring politics. We’re not getting fair elections anymore, and it wouldn’t matter if 99% of the people voted their rights away, doesn’t mean I have to surrender mine peacefully
The only hope I have is a coup.
Impeachment isn’t enough
“I smoke weed but think you’re lazy if you make less money than me”
Probably racist but hides it
I think what may make this different from that is chuds could see the fact that their king did whatever he wanted with those top secret documents as his right.
This was incompetently handled active war planning. This can and should spook even those chuds
Honestly as a socialist that sounds fucking awful. Sounds like a formula for people to be ruled by miniature cults.
Even if you truly believe this, the communities of fascists would just impose fascism on you.
The fact they exist and got us nowhere near a unified working class movement.
They’re all sectarian and pointless. The party that takes us there will be formed by the popular working class movement
Pick up where Debs left off
Time to really get to know our communities and our people in the military. The only justice imaginable coming from this is a coup in one form or another to oust them. Anyone in the military that is actually on board with this needs to be purged by the rank and file.
Conservativism is rooted in vibes and feelings, and false narratives to support those feelings. This is why they hate knowledge and people who attain it.
It’s a disease of the mind, it’s like they would rather be animal than human
Are you crying?
People got too used to being able to cosplay as oppressed victims of the state despite decades of minor policy changes between Democrat or Republican administrations.
All Americans got to enjoy conjuring any abstract worldview they wanted with the freedom of knowing they can say what they want whenever they want, never feel repression and just go home and watch tv. Maga got to pretend they were actively oppressed by the state which let’s them justify supporting real state oppression towards people they don’t like.
I imagine a lot of maga dorks voted for this, expected performative moves but a mostly stable continuity of the American center. I don’t know if they’ll ever admit it but I bet they are going to regret this president keeping his promises when they are stripped of all of their rights and their safety nets. The time for hyperbolics and hysterics are over, fascism is here, they are going to get ground down with the rest.
Brainwashed cult, and unfortunately we don’t have time to deprogram these people
Poor choice of words but I’ve seen it myself. Old divorced racist conservatives literally traveling to Thailand for wives. Their goal is to find subservient women that they can’t get at home. Nothing against the foreigners it’s more and indictment on the American
In general we give people who act stupid way too much credit, they’re actually just fucking stupid.
Conversely, we’re way too comfortable letting politicians play stupid instead of calling them out for their malicious intentions. And if the politician truly is stupid (Trump) there are handlers behind them pulling the strings
People asking if this is legal are missing the point. This is wrong, what is legal is whatever the executive decides, ICE can only be solved with constitunially supported extra judicial action.
Bitch ass markwayne was terrified of the insurrectionists on J6 never forget
Can a true patriot please put this neanderthal back into the cave where she belongs?
