Self edge is great
Do you even have to ask? We live in a white nationalist dictatorship.

Don’t apologize. With Congress and SCOTUS obsequiousness, democratic loving citizens are screaming into the void with you.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
Not really when you add the word “performative” in front of machismo.
This is Trump’s coup to takeover the country. This will happen in 2026, not 2028. Remember he’s already built a moat of national guard to protect him and the White House. He’s not planning to leave office. Welcome to the Imperial States of America.
Only thing holding this market up is all the investments in AI infrastructure. VCs are cutting back investments in AI so just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
The same POTUS that bankrupt a casino, an airline, and conned people with Trump University? HE knows monetary policy??? 🤦🏻♂️
If we get our country back, we need to hold people like him liable for all the damage and lives lost so people will think twice about doing this again.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Should we be surprised by anything the republicans do or say at this point? They have proven to be a party of no integrity or morals. If we get our country back, there needs to be a reckoning for all those politicians who caved to Trump.
Apparently, homeless people, petty criminals and protesters are more dangerous to our society than mass murderers.
Thank you calling this out. We need more people who have large audiences do this to get the word out. It’s time to stop mincing words. We are living in a dictator ship and he is a dictator.
We need to get big money out of politics so politicians can work for the people they are suppose to represent.
That’s because his boss is an idiot.
It’s about time people in the media are finally saying this out loud. Trump’s only agenda is consolidating power before the ‘26 midterms.
The Republicans no longer care about history or facts. They will say or do anything to stay in Trump’s good graces if the last 8 months haven’t been enough of an indication.
Trump’s naked power grab before the 2026 midterms.
People are missing the thread. The threat to Trump isn’t 2028, it’s 2026. He is accelerating his efforts to takeover the country before the midterms. We are at DEFCON 1 regarding our democracy.
Are you surprised? Trump is accelerating his efforts to take over the country before the ‘26 midterms.

When will the American people and main stream media learn that Trump tells you exactly what he wants to do???
Why are taking a share of the dinosaur that is intel? Let’s do this the right way and get 10% of the MAG7 as well as all the AI players. Let’s set up a fund for the American people that way… 🤦🏻♂️
This is J6 part 2. The coup is here. Trump is dismantling our democracy in plain sight. Our legislature and SCOTUS is allowing it to happen.
Trump is no longer hiding his intentions. He does not plan to leave office in 2028. He is laying the groundwork now by rigging the elections and is testing his control by taking over DC.
I’ve been saying this for while. Trump wants to be an authoritarian and has no plans to give up power in 2028.
Does anyone know what the hell RFK believes in besides being anti-vax and dissecting animals for fun? He’s not different from Trump — all BS.
This is how you do it!
His followers are in a cult. They will suffer any indignities and pain as long as he’s around.
Trump is a singular individual. Without him, this whole enterprise falls apart. His base and cronies will eat themselves trying to replace him.
Same. Trump is at peak narcissistic fever. I keep hoping he does or says something so egregious that his base and cronies say that is enough. Maybe then the pendulum can begin to swing back.
Our sad reality when we can no longer trust our government to keep us safe and healthy. Thank groups like the AAP who will still fight for the truth.
You have to find the Republican equivalents… oh wait, there isn’t. The MAGA GOP will gladly follow Trump off the cliff as they have proven again and again. This nightmare ends when and IF we get our country back.
Trump is truly feeling his power now. This is what unchecked narcissism gets you. Let’s hope at some point, he pushes so far that even his base & cronies will say that’s enough. Maybe then we can begin to swing the pendulum back.
The Russian constitution is just a list of suggestions for Putin. It’s like our constitution is a list of suggestions to Trump and the Republican Party.
The irony of that statement. MAGA GOP lack of respect towards women, science, immigrants, partners, experts, education. But let’s respect a convicted felon, dictators, war criminals and sex offenders. We are going to need a hard reset and massive de-programming if we get our country back.
Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood. He's turning the homes into a compound. That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe. I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.
Money grab?
If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:
Just look at the handshake. Trump usually dominates with hand on top. Not so with Putin. Trump’s hand is on the bottom.
Putin was there to remind his puppet who’s the boss and he did it all in plain sight.
I’ve been saying that. You can add that he is laying the groundwork to stay in power post 2028. Mark my words, he and his cronies are coming up with, if not already have, a reason to stay in office.
What??? Trump lies?!!!
How do we fight to stop this when he doesn’t believe in the rule of law but expect us to obey the law? He believes he is untouchable now that SCOTUS has given him carte blanche. He will just escalate and use force on the population if we don’t submit.
Same. You hear the same things about politicians when they are behind closed doors and away from cameras.
What tactic can the Dems use to stall or prevent this from happening?
Trump is creating a moat in DC when he decides not to leave office.
Gilded age 2.0
Gilded age 2.0
Speaking truth to power… Main stream media, are you paying attention???
Fourth estate has crumbled. Main stream media can no longer hold truth to power because we no longer live in a democracy.
I don’t understand why this makes any sense. Trump is going to eat and drink the same stuff. Just for his germaphobia, you’d imagine he would want safer food and cleaner water.
Trump is feeling his power and is now openly acting like an authoritarian. He is trying to rig the 2026 midterms and plans to stay in power post 2028. When will the media call him out on this.
Are we suppose to be surprised? He’s been doing this for years and will continue to drive whatever narrative that suits his worldview. Like any politician or judge, all their talk about following science, law, etc. are just empty words. We have to look at their actions and affiliations.
We shouldn’t be surprised. Trump is feeling his power so he will say or do whatever he wants. There’s no one to oppose him right now. Welcome to the Unhinged State of America!
Trump’s feeling his power now. He will just keep pushing until he destroys everything around him. His psychosis knows no bounds.
Isn’t it insane how much damage Trump’s done in only 6 months?
Republicans are incompetent. They sponge off the rest of us and pretend we're the problem.
Susan Collins???
What would the congressional map look like if all the states gerrymandered for their party?
Show the US how an authoritarian should be treated
Trump is truly feeling his power. He no longer cares or is afraid of any consequences so he will get rid of anyone that disagrees or angers him. We are living under an authoritarian rule.
Sycophant. We are living under the Trump regime. When will regular Americans and the main stream media realize this?
Is she turning woke??? 🤦🏻♂️
You’re watching the definition of sycophant in action.
These people are not only getting access to materially non-public information, they are creating legislation that directly affects them. So should we get rid of insider trading? That’s essentially what is happening.
I like the fact that you’re using the term “regime”. We need to describe what’s happening in direct terms that people can understand.
Welcome to Amerussia where sycophants are rewarded!
Maybe we’re at the stage where we can’t use the terms “news” and “editorial” anymore because we’ve conflated them together. Maybe it’s “news” and “opinions”
We’re living through another gilded age. Hopefully we will be lucky to have a FDR type on the other side because we will have way worse to deal with — climate change, massive income inequality, white nationalism, collapsed economy, mid/disinformation. All this caused by one person.
The Republican Party has crossed the rubicon into fascism. It’s time for the democrats and the population to realize this and fight for our country’s survival.
We’ve lost all moral authority on freedom of speech and suppression of political opposition.
Imagine if you had to post your real name on social media, I think people would behave differently. That was once upon a dream when social media first started…
Right?
Simon’s of course
Hate to say it but we’re living in a post truth world. People and AI can say whatever and there will be people who will believe it. If we’re able to win this country back, lawmakers like yourself need to find a way deal with our bipolar media environment and regulate mis/disinformation.
Native Americans are the only non-immigrants here. Everyone else is an immigrant.
Even if we get our country back, we will still live in a bipolar media environment. How do we get back to a single set of facts?
Let’s see how well this article ages.
If this country survives his reign, it will be important to drag his name through history as a reminder of everything that went wrong.
Surprised?? …NOT!
Because they are sycophants to Trump. When will people acknowledge that we are living in an autocracy???
How are you surprised? The Republican judges of SCOTUS are owned by Trump. When will people acknowledge that we are living in an autocracy???
The best part about Musk now being mad at the Trump administration & the Republican Party is that he knows he helped put them in power. He funded them. He campaigned for them. Used Twitter for them. So everything bad they do... and that he's mad about is... on him! He knows it.
Thank Trump and his cronies for this. Actions have consequences. #FAFO
Democracy is dying in America, and resistance begins with language — it shapes what the public sees, and what they’re willing to tolerate. Resistance begins when we refuse to repeat their lies. Words become action. Action becomes power. Truth becomes revolution.
When did the republicans spout compassion? Like after every mass shooting when they sent their “thoughts and prayers”???
And… this is the reality of being a modern Republican politician.
Thank you for saying this out loud. We need more people in power and in our media to say this so the citizenry feels heard.
Impeachment
This will pass because dear leader wants it to. These people have sold their souls. To quote Mitch, “they’ll get over it”.
This is definitely not in the savings accounts of regular Americans.
I use to say “when” we get our country back. Now I say “if”. Vote tampering is one of the reasons why.
There will be a day of reckoning. The question is whether Americans will have the stomach to bring justice to all those people involved.
These days are dark and getting darker. But time stops for no man. Not even Trump. There will be an after to all of this. Find strength in each other. Keep going. Goodnight 💚
We’re in an authoritarian country now. When will people stop tip toeing around it and call it that.
Exactly. When will the American people realize that when the ultra wealthy don’t pay taxes, regular people are paying for them to drive their Bentleys on public roads, our fire departments when their fancy houses burn, and our police when they don’t like something.
I’m scared!
Just shows we are living under an autocracy. When will the main stream media say so.
