Ok Elon. Time to take your "medications" again.
Shorter summary: The South rose again.
*The entire GOP
A corollary to this is that Democrats can never be given credit for the things they did achieve. Why didn't they do more? What have they done for us lately? Why are there still any problems whatsoever? Why didn't they solve unsolvable problems x, y, and z the last time they had partial control?
As a hetero man, in this unsolicited reply thread, I will...
The party of small government and local control.
Got another one of them DEI enjoyers here, boys.
They did.
Yup. Multiple progressive friends have thought the Biden administration got "nothing" done until I pointed out some of the many, many things they got done. The news diet on the left is only *slightly* better than Republicans, and generally serves the same masters.
Have you accepted Jesus Christ into your hat?
FUCK.
Fucking infuriating that it's been presented as a binary choice between Newsom and Vance three years out. We're telling people that Newsom sucks for trans people *now* in the hope that we can pick a better candidate. If it really comes down to Newsom or a fascist, fine, I'll vote for fucking Newsom.
Bullshit. Fascism is the fault of the fascists, not the people opposing them. And it wasn't "THE LEFT" that abused the term: www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna14583...
I didn't say Bush was a fascist, but many of us warned at the time that the direction the GOP was going under Bush was leading to fascism, and we were right.
I did.
When Trump is gone Republicans will still be just as fascist as they are today, and will try to blame every evil thing they support on him. Frankly, I don't think his death will solve anything, and will leave actual "competent" fascists like Vance in charge.
This seems great.
This is why we put up with @radiofreetom.bsky.social 's bullshit. <3
This is fair, but also progressives like me have zero loyalty to "Democrats", we vote for Democrats because they are, in general, the "least harm" option, not because we love O'Bama's sweet centrist cock.
I endorse this right-wing poopy-head's message. Such a poopy-head though.
The thing is, everyone thinks their violence is justified. The fascists just as much as the anti-fascists.
Every Republican today is a fascist just as every Nazi in 1933 was a fascist. @radiofreetom.bsky.social and I may disagree on whether it was a smoove transition from "tru conservatism" to fascism, or a divergence, but he's anti-fascist today, so we're on the same team.
Reagan and UU were not fascists. Their ideology set the stage for today, maybe you disagree. We're stuck on the same anti-fascist team now. Maybe the current GOP is divergent from your GOP, I think it's just another brick in the wall. Regardless, there are more of us than there are of them.
twyms
Also, come on, there's actually decades between Coolidge and Reagan.
ur mom liked it.
A lot of us see at as a smooth progression from Nixon => GOP rage at Nixon's shaming by libtard cucks like me => Reagan => Bush 1 => Bush 2 => Trump. I get that the "anti-Trump Republicans" like you drew a line at Trump, and I appreciate that, but the rest of us understand it as a progression.
Look, man, a lot of people are going to see a straight line between Bush and Trump, for good reason. It's great that you drew the line at fascism, but you had no problem with fascism lite, and your great grandchildren will learn about it in history class.
It's just mad libs at this point. If any previous president had ______ he would have ________.
I couldn't agree more! I will hereby publicly affirm that Trump does not have a tiny penis. Who will join me in praising President Trump for his not at all very tiny penis?
How is it that "worse that we imagined" is exactly what Republicans said they would do, which we pointed out well before the election?
"The fascists welcome me with open arms, while the anti-fascists are quite rude!"
...or...we could just vote for universal healthcare.
Gosh I thought sure I heard over and over again how the military would resist illegal orders...
Fucking darkly hilarious that they got Gym Jordan out to turn a blind eye to children getting raped again.
It's called conservatism.
Oh this will go well.
BUT BOTH SIDES BAD! BOTHSIDES!
And Democratic voters and politicians would agree with them. There's a reason that Republicans do this and Democrats don't - this is what Republican voters want. They love it, they voted for it, and they'll keep voting for it.
Is this because Trump is an addled old man who hates wind turbines for "ruining" the view at his golf courses, or because the GOP is actively dismantling the US? Schrodinger's dementia!
"The Emperor's New Clothes" is a horror story.
...and also, he does not have a tiny penis.
I can't think of a better description of what happened to America over the last 50 years than "The South rose again."
That's the beauty of it. Anything a random college student says is the responsibility of every Democrat, while no Republican can ever be held to account for the things they say, do, and vote for every day.
No one had to push Republicans to be fascists, they just needed permission to take the mask off.
John Bolton should die in prison for his crimes against humanity, not for insufficient loyalty to a fascist regime.
After Trump is gone, Republicans wil wash their hands of all the evil shit they absolutely supported, and the media will help. After WWII, the mantra was "never forget". This time it should be "Never let them forget."
And our system for managing classified information is so broken, it wouldn't be a surprise at all if they find *something* they can use. Bolton should die in prison for his crimes against humanity, but this is still evil.
Does this count as kink shaming?

They don't have to explain anymore, that's the beauty of the "see no racism, hear no racism" approach the sc is taking.
Because they're people with families and day jobs, who also had to come up with $500/day (each) in fines. They got commitments from CA and plans on place to counter on other states, and also left time for court challenges. Lots to criticize about Democrats, but I think was pretty savvy.
Doing it verbatim at a dispensary would be fire.
WTF is a "Socialite"? Does that just mean rich white woman?
To kill woke, first they had to beat irony to death.
And also a fait accompli - by the time this works it's way through the courts the intended damage will have already been done.
Hell is burning a bit brighter today.
They prefer the term "conservative".
Republicans win elections because they focus on kitchen table issues like this! Oh wait...it's the bigotry, isn't it?
Etymology is destiny, apparently.
So they're gonna reduce crime by ignoring crime. Huh.
Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.
In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.
A second coup attempt that they'll cheerfully enable.
The word "bluster" in your original post implies that the fascists won't actually do anything to restrict mail in voting, which is where I think you're mistaken. They absolutely will. The question is: how much will they get away with?
Is it really "free" speech if you charge for your premium podcast subscription?
The problem with this strategy is it focuses on Trump, who will be gone soon, while Republicans will continue to be lying fascist bigots.
When Trump's allies include the FSB, Musk, and billionaire-funded propaganda networks, it's not the Democrats fault they are outgunned. The only thing that will win against that is a mass movement against the oligarchs.
Is the President legally allowed to give Alaska away?
Boobies.
Direct action doesn't always mean punching a Nazi. Direct action can be as simple as seeing post for a $90K per year ICE job with a signing bonus. Submit an application. Go through all of the screening & interview process. Do a background check. Get hired. Then just don't show up. #AbolishICE
First time living through a collapsing capitalist dystopia, huh?
Oh man, the Blue Lives Matter crowd is definitely going to demand this guy be fired when they find out about this, huh?
...interviewed a what now?
I wonder what kind of schwag the ICE recruitment table will be handing out?
10 years ago I would have thought this, decided it was too mean to say, and then moved on. Today...nope.
If they were capable of understanding things, they wouldn't be conservative.
He's saying that black people are too lazy to work but Hispanic people are naturally adapted to working the fields and when their bodies are used up they'll just shuffle off and die. He's a Republican, after all.
He's not getting "played". Republicans and the Israeli right wing are all fascists, with the same goals.
Our immigration system was designed to partially compensate the wealthy for the slaves that leftists stole from them by providing a permanent underclass of cheap exploitable labor. It wasn't enough, and they're back for another go at slavery.
It's not that we don't hang out with Republicans because of political differences. We don't hang out with disgusting fascist bigots and Republicans are telling us who they are.
But some college students protested genocide, so...bothsides!
Republican voters like what the Republican party stands for because they are lying fascist bigots. Never let them forget.
*greed
I think Trump himself is purely motivated by great an narcissism. He's surrounded by people who want to destroy the liberal consensus America and rebuild it as a fascist utopia with the full support of Republican voters.
The moment Trump is gone Republicans will ceremoniously wash their hands of every evil thing they supported. The New York Times will pass out towels.
What OP identifies as "silence" is just the lack of a similar propaganda pipeline on "the left". The closest equivalent is higher education, since as young people learn more about the world, they tend to become more left leaning.
It's the job of political movements to shape narrative in their favor. The right has incredibly well-funded pipelines to turn young men into fascists by meeting them where they are and feeding them propaganda. Red pilling, "traditional women" bigotry, whatever Jordan Peterson is selling...
We need to normalize telling Republicans that they are disgusting fascist bigots to their faces.
I think you're wrong that "the left", whoever that is, is completely silent on the subject. It's that the right has well-funded propaganda pipelines that meet young men where they are and guide them to fascism. There doesn't seem to be equivalent funding to turn young men into socialists.
I don't think his framing that the left is "silent" is correct. It's that the right operates propaganda pipelines that meet young men where they are, and guide them to fascism. The left has no equivalent because there isn't a well-funded propaganda machine to turn young men into socialist feminists.
"Parents are right to be concerned about this disgusting transphobic lie that I just told." --lying bigot
Anybody else old enough to remember how tearing down Confederate monuments was "erasing history"?
Or...he was always in favor of it and was lying from the start.
So everyone’s getting hot and bothered about these charts, and please note that right chart is just left chart flipped over They are in fact this chart:
Yes but really Biden should have unilaterally stopped arms sales, and that's why I voted for Trump instead of Harris. --authentic leftist
"'Elite' institutions immediately comply with fascism, surprising no one familiar with the history of fascism."
"It's the information environment, stupid." doesn't quite roll off the tongue, though. We're on an asymmetric information war with the oligarchy, and they are winning.
