What polls? Let’s wait and see if those will even occur. Trump is a dictator who has trampled on the Constitution. Why do you think he would suddenly stop being a dictator, and allow fair elections?

It’s called integrity, honour, and dignity, some things the USA is markedly short on currently. 🇨🇦 “The unfortunate decision to remove American spirits from Canadian retail shelves is not only harming U.S. distillers, but it's also reducing revenues for the provinces.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Trump knows this, and he knows that he cannot survive in a government without a lapdog Congress. If he loses the two branches, his whole regime crumbles. If he cannot redistrict enough states, he will lose, so why do we think he will just gladly submit his fascist record for voters’ approval?
Not surprising, since the USA is now doing a very convincing impression of an undeveloped, fascist nation.
Loomer can gloat all she wants. Ashli Babbit remains a corpse. Maybe a skeleton by now.
MAGA — and the USA — no longer require comparisons to the world’s worst dictators and fascists; the USA is now a fascist state in its own right, taking its place alongside Stalin’s USSR and AH’s Germany. Thus, Tom’s sign should now read “MAGA lives don’t matter.”
The much-vaunted US military (Air Force in this case) has shown itself to be completely supportive of Trump/MAGA. So, those who naively thought US service people would follow their oath to the Constitution were wrong. When will regular Americans get real? You have no country left. Fight!
Anyone Who Is Not American (thus not a pinwheel-eyed “our checks and balances and democratic systems will save us from fascism” victim of propaganda): It’s cute how all those Americans can see what we all see, yet still believe Trump will allow elections.
Yet, everyone still heads to work every day. Unless we all get together and hold a general strike, our children will be pointing out the same wage disparities when we are gone. There is no use in complaining, if we are not courageous enough to strike for what we know is right.
Thankfully, regardless of her sham “funeral,” she remains a corpse.
A symbol of American tolerance for disgusting racists: that no one has even tried to beat Nick Fuentes to a bloody pulp. Not even his victims (every “race” and/or creed other than white and Christian). www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
32 years, and still do not sleep the night before first day.
Noooo . . . it ruins his “Himmler/Goebbels” look. He tried so hard! 😂
We should have a large supply, as Alberta won’t need many vials.
Starve the USA economy.
Will the Nobel Committee be able to resist the pressure from MAGA lobbyists? We should not discount the fact that Trump could very well “win” the prize. Sickening.
What a complete fucking embarrassment. It must absolutely suck to be an American at this time; the USA is far worse than Hungary and Brazil ever were under their dictators.
Stalin loved this sort of “meeting.”
Perfect. We need to starve the USA economy.
When will major independent media outlets like Meidas start to call for open rebellion? General strike? Civil Disobedience writ large?
Yes, the USA is now in that much danger. It is now existential, making fear an inappropriate response.
Force Trump to declare some sort of martial law. Force the military to make a decision about their oath of loyalty to the Constitution, not Trump. The prisons cannot hold the millions who will or should be on a general strike. Then, finally, the world might step in to help, via sanctions at least.
. . , that have never been effective against fascism. Force only is ever removed by force.
He is doing far more than mocking Trump, by planning to redistrict Calif. If you on the left or centre wait for AOC or some other, more “virtuous” politician to at least try to save you from fascism, you will wait in vain. Now is not the time for pearl clutching about our own “side.”
Yes, as I showed. 28%. The math is incontrovertible: far closer to 1/3 of adults, than 1/5. (We cannot, obviously, include those under 19.)
Yet here you are.
Whoosh! The sound of the original post going over your head. Just couldn’t resist?
We would have done us without your permission or your commentary.
Tyrants and dictators are also NEVER toppled by voters and/or courts, opposition parties, “checks and balances.” The USA has sleepwalked itself into this, but will gave to fight and spill blood to get out of it.
It is not just his supporters. I cannot count the times I’ve been accused of “alarmism” and “hysteria” by fellow liberal/left in here, simply for correctly naming what is happening in the USA. Fascism. Dictatorship. Ethnic cleansing. Militarism on home soil. JFC! And, no real resistance movement.
Alberta is as backward a province as can ever be.
Obviously. The US cased being a truly free nation on Jan 20.
Where are the left wing militias? Seriously — in the face of storm troops occupying cities, do US citizens still believe that peaceful, targeted “protests” work?
You have a gangster/mobster as your “president.”
It will require national teams from around the world to boycott America 2026. Which big-name teams will be the first to cancel their travel plans?
Well . . . your fellow Americans did vote into office a death cult.
US media has always played whatever tunes the WH requests, especially when the WH is GOP/MAGA. Spineless, the lot of them. When this is over (🤞), will these “journalists” be treated as collaborators?
Unfortunately, 1/5 is far too few. Of the total adult pop., 28% voted for Trump. Of the 155,201,157 people who bothered to actually vote, 48% voted for Trump. 192,098,843 did not vote. A low estimate of the percentage of these folks who would support MAGA would be 40%. so, more like >1/3.
Indeed she did nail it. It was not she who let America down; American voters in the millions let America down.
EXACTLY as Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, et al. Every dictator gathers around him life’s losers and dummies, who have the chips on their shoulders to prove it. Revenge against the “intellectuals” and “left” is their motive, and the US regime is infested with them. Wake up, people!
A beautiful sight! More of this! ❤️🇺🇦
When this happens, will anyone confront them? No, except for the few thousand regulars, on weekends. Fear is not an appropriate response, folks.
Detention Center = Concentration Camp. Could this be any more clear? But still, tomorrow will just go on as usual, and very few people will do more than read news, get outraged, and go back to their day. Rinse, Repeat.
It is beyond sorrowful, watching as every day brings new examples of increasing fascism. Your poor nation.
And the Trump WH knows this: They are — and have been since January — laughing at you all.
Every damn time. MAGA is, it would seem, a haven for rapists.
“Tragically killed”? He is the enemy.
One silver lining, I suppose: at least the traitor is dead, killed by Ukraine forces.
Bot says what?
“[I]t’s a pity there isn’t a hell for him to go to... The empty life of this ugly little charlatan proves only one thing: that you can get away with the most extraordinary offences to morality and to truth in this country if you’ll just get yourself called Reverend.” apnews.com/article/jame...
Every day brings new sorrow — the USA used to be such a great country.
No, it is now entirely predictable, “normal” American behaviour. No need to invoke comparisons with banana republics; the USA is far worse than those.
The USA was a nice country. A deeply flawed one, but nice. It is now a police state.
Written a response? No walkout?
I tried. But you are an ahistorical moron, refusing to see what is right in front of you.
Awww, thank you! I do love comics. But seriously, the only effective opposition to AH in the 1920s-30s were the Marxist/Socialist parties. They, working together, could have stopped AH at the ballot box. But, the different leftist parties argued among themselves instead. Like now. QED.
You first.
Nice guy. Enjoy your fascist country — and please, for our sake up here (Canada has been threatened by your president, recall), don’t do anything to help your nation. We can all just watch you fail completely. Now, toddle off and go fuck yourself, you stupid cunt.
And you are still wrong.
Redistricting + no mail in ballots = Trump win in 2026. More likely: Occupying cities with stormtroopers + stopping mail ballots + prosecuting free speech + a need for both houses in order to fulfill his regime’s fascist rule = no elections at all. Why would Trump allow an election?
“Clapping seals”? Do you have another person in mind, willing to actually do something real to end Trump/MAGA? No? I didn't think so. You have lost the luxury of demanding your personal version of a fighter. The USA is gone; to get it back (if that is even possible now), start getting mean.
“Outrageous” it definitely is. And, with no one to stop the illegality of TX charging her, completely “normal” now in the new USA.
Let us hope! Drastic action was needed months ago, and it may be too late already, but you all should at least try.
America: discover your power! Your country is finished. It is MAGA’s country now, because all anyone does is read posts/articles, get angry, repeat. Instead: Get out of your homes, get uncomfortably angry, commit mass civil disobedience, refuse to move off the streets, fight hard, repeat. FFS!
7/7 The above is mainly for posterity. I don't want it said later that nobody noticed.
. . . then see how 1933-35 felt for the good Germans, who waited too long to fight their “Trump.” But, I am just one person, and am under no illusions. There will - based on the current examples - be no left wing uprising. People don’t seem to see the coming tragedy, and even if they do . . . .☹️
. . . ignoring US democracy (Congress), and consolidating power in the president; giving every gov’t role to life’s losers snd grifters; caring nothing about American people, etc. DOES NOT GET YOU ON TO THE STREETS, THEN: You will soon (very soon) lose American democracy forever, and you’ll . . .6/
******** IF: getting rid of all perceived enemies in gov’t and society in general; weakening gov’t institutions; building privately-loyal stormtroops; rampant blackmailing of US citizens by DT; attacking education; using gov’t as an instrument of revenge; rounding up those deemed unworthy; 5/
. . . completely (which will be within the year), their troopers will be in every city and every area deemed “socially detrimental to the greatness of the new USA”. ******* Then, Trump/MAGA will be free to round up everyone they want — and they will do so with vigour, as we have seen. 4/
***** About Stormtroopers (ICE, DEA, NG, Police, Trump loyalists waiting for the call): Where are the Left wing militias? At least, in 1930s Germany, they tried to fight back with the same force directed at them. “Peaceful” demos = Capitulation. ******* Once Trump/MAGA consolidates power . . . 3/
**** You (good USA folks) might ask, “What can we do?” Simply read about the regrets of millions of Germans after 1945, and do what they did not do in 1933. ***** Or, are you still holding back on admitting that Trump/MAGA is, in fact, the 21st century’s AH/Nazi party? Foolish and ill-informed. 2/
For the record. Use as you will. * If you read any description of the rise of AH and Nazis, you will see that Trump/MAGA is following the EXACT SAME path. ** He is at the occupy cities stage, which will lead to an Enabling Act (look it up) and suspension of elections. *** USA: please stop him.
There should be a Smithsonian exhibit showing the executions of all Confederates, and the resettling of all Confederate lands by freed slaves. But there isn’t, because slave-owning Johnny Rebs got to live on and prosper, after attempting to destroy the Union.
Bot says what?
Fearful? JFC — I hope your example spreads, because far too many Americans are frightened into paralysis. Fear is understandable only when one has the luxury to indulge it. US citizens now need to rise above their fears, and make MAGA/Trump pay.
Stupidity — it’s unfortunately an aspect of our current world that a considerable number of citizens of any country are stupid. However, only the USA invites the truly stupid to govern the nation — in every single gov’t department.
The mere fact of DT’s presidency is sick-making. But, what’s worse is the clear fact that the USA has seemingly the largest core population of really, really stupid people. It’s not just the obvious stupidity (MAGA), but that of the media, who try for “balanced” reporting.
Yet, roll the carpet they did.
Yes, because the USA is finished as a functioning democracy. Gestapo/SA/SS occupying cities; now, Dear Leader kissing dictator ass.
You have described every single politician at every level of gov’t. But, of course you can prefer whatever you want. You’ll not get it, but no one cares if you desire it deeply, as long as the very few who are willing to fight are encouraged to do so, for all your sakes.
You are correct: you definitely should wait for a person with impeccable ethics to lead any sort of revolt. Have no fear, your democracy might still be saveable by the time that person is found.
Are any people on the left starting to think about forming left-wing militias to combat the fascist takeover of American streets?
A maxim.
Yup, he’s a shit, no doubt. So was Patton. So was Monty. So was Churchill. But they destroyed Hitler. No one expects you to be grateful; just let those willing to truly fight, fight. No one cares if GN s a super nice guy, as long as he follows through with his plan for redistricting.
Thus the true challenge in huge nations like ours. In France, they destroy neighborhoods over a fuel tax hike. But they all live within a few miles of each other. We in NA are faced with logistical challenges that make it easier for fascists to take over. We are lucky it hasn’t happened before now.
Wake the fuck up. In a war, you don’t — and should not — get to choose your preferred avenger. Those who step up and do the fighting (NOT the typing) are the ones who will save your so called nation.
You need to understand that your country is now a fascist state, ffs. Get off your mangy little swayback almost dead horse, and see what it will take to restore democracy in the USA. Hint: it’s not virtue signalling.
A late night message from Gavin Newsom
I cannot express forcefully enough: the very best of luck for you all. I have studied US history because I love your country, and have done so all my adult life. But now, I just wish I (we) could help you more. Please know we are up here wishing you all bonne chance, mes amis. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
If only thousands of us had warned of this every day since Jan 20.
Placing losers and truly stupid people in all key gov’t positions — right on track for Hitler 2.0.
How deeply sorrowful: your once great nation is forever gone. The only thing now is to fight in the streets or give in and learn to live under fascism. Choices.
The USA is finished as a democracy.
You will never get the USA back. It is gone for good.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Because it’s the United States, nothing will ever be done about it.
Elections, courts, political opposition parties, etc., have never been able to get rid of fascism. Only overwhelming force has ever worked. So actually, people do need to go to the streets and protest.
He’ll never get elected. Norms will restrain him. Mueller will get him. He can’t come back from J6. No way he’ll get re-elected. Epstein will bring him down. He’s overplayed his hand. He has dementia. This isn’t who we are. (Fables of the Trumpocene)
And no one who can do anything about it will respond to the alarm.
You are hilarious.
