Trans. Escaped the US. A flightless bird. Aspiring kiwi - a kiwannabi, if you will. My pronouns (she/her) are load-bearing. There is only one good kind of fascist.💀

I voted for her, and she was objectively the better choice - but she failed us by running hard to the center right. That election was winnable, but she listened to consultants and donors rather than speaking directly to the working class. Dems need to wake up, or this never gets better.
Time for workers to rise up and tear down billionaires.
Well, I guess I know where I'm going if New Zealand doesn't pan out.
Donald Trump? The dead guy? We're still talking about that...creep?!
She was Trump's business partner, along with Epstein himself. They trafficked girls together. He's a pedophile and a predator and he deserves to burn for it.
The best time for a revolution was 10 years ago. The 2nd best time is now.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best is today.
You won't solve it by voting.
"Relax guy!"
General strike
General strike.
While we're at it, how about NOT engaging with "the crisis at the border" or "rising crime" - narratives crafted by the GOP specifically to evoke fear and outrage. If she had spent more time championing progressive policies rather than courting some mythical MAGA moderate, she might have won.
Sorry, I was talking about, like, a living wage, universal healthcare, substantial investment in public education and college, infrastructure improvements...things many other countries manage to provide, but America pretends are impossible. I'm less interested in Democrat policy-wonk shit.
Eh...she was...fine. She would have been better than Trump, obviously. But she ran to center and promised to uphold the status quo like every other Dem. If you want to beat Trump, you need to convince people you can make their lives materially better. "I'm not the other guy" isn't enough.
De-MAGAfication cannot happen quickly enough.
This doesn't end until a cornered and terrified Trump eats a gun in the Whitehouse bunker.
Make Nazis Afraid Again.
A commitment to status quo centrism when people are telling you they are suffering will always open the door to radical authoritarians who acknowledge that people are struggling, then scapegoat marginalized group while securing power and wealth for themselves.
I'm well aware of my history, which is why I can see the nonsensical drivel you just drooled out for exactly what it is. Newsom is a defender of the status quo who enabled Trump by refusing to acknowledge very real problems people were facing. Just like Harris and Clinton before him.
He stands for himself, and "democracy" is a brand he's he's adopted for himself. Last month he was platforming and agreeing with Charlie Kirk and Steven Bannon on his podcast, champ. He's not your friend, and he and scumbags like him made Trump 2.0 possible. Wake up.
Newsom doesn't need a break - he's a slimeball. Everyone needs to maintain their hatred toward him, even if doing the right thing happens to serve his purposes on occasion. He's a sellout who is everything wrong with the establishment Dems.
He tosses his guitar into the air and we never see it come down. Because when Prince tosses a guitar, that guitar *stays* tossed.
You're not weird. It's going to be okay. This is a tough time, but you'll get through it and there's a bright new day ahead for you, whatever happens next, you'll be better on the other side.
You should both be talking to a therapist if that's possible. There are a lot of very complicated feelings that come with this. My own marriage didn't survive - some do...but yeah, it's a tough issue to navigate.
It's not too late. The dose will have to be much higher and administered directly to the unwanted child in the Whitehouse, but it could still solve the problem...
People can be, and often are, trans AND autistic, and this BS is literally about pathologizing, stigmatizing, and removing support for either one.
"Staffed entire administration with literal Nazis."
When one looks at the church thru a historical lens - scandal, political interference, sexual abuse, wealth hoarding, gaudy architecture, backward morality, indifference to suffering... Trump really does seem like a natural choice.

Canada got a stay of execution - electing a central banker may be good for the moment, but this is not the start of some new golden age. Neoliberalism needs to die, and the world needs politicians that serve people instead of capital, or everyone continues this death march toward authoritarianism.
I mean, the dead guy notwithstanding - The Catholic church has hoarded wealth, meddled in politics, owned ostentatious buildings, hid countless scandals, and been a haven for sexual predators while selling BS to the sheep who would listen. Trump would fit in just fine.
I'm tolerant of people who are different skin colors, ethnicities, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations...Fuck, I can even be friends with people who like pineapple on pizza. Bigots can fuck all the way off though. I'm completely intolerant, and think they need a punch in the mouth.
What's struck me about Andor and SW in general was the fantasy notion of competent fascists. Fascism is rooted in loyalty above all other characteristics. Steeped in magical thinking, choosing mythical truth over reality. Fascists are dumb by definition. Scary to think of more capable versions.
You can't play Chess, Don. You don't have the cards.
Money in general is the root of our dysfunction - or more specifically, capital. Neoliberalism needs to end or fascism will continue to grow. Policies should serve people, not capital. Endless growth is not a goal unto itself, and we need to focus on sustainability and meeting the needs of people
Trump wanted a trade war, but he just doesn't have the cards, does he?
He never should have won, but desperate voters are vulnerable voters. Stop engaging with his BS narratives about crime and immigration. Call him a liar and get back to talking about policy that serves people and not capital. People need healthcare, housing, food, living wage, & labor protections.
Great...now get the worthless establishment Dems in your party off their asses and doing more than just holding up signs. Pay attention to what AOC and Bernie are doing if you want to beat Trump. Every one of you needs to be talking about what they will do for the working class all day long.
Maybe MAGA's brand of Christianity shouldn't have the freedom to exist.
That's because both parties work against the interests of the working class.
We need to end the obsession with GDP and endless growth and focus on sustainability, climate, gross wealthy disparity, healthcare, housing, labor protections, living wages, food insecurity.
Unless there is a true progressive movement pulling AWAY from the right, rather than centrists defending the status quo and creating policy that serves capital rather than people, demagogues and right-wing populists will continue to take hold. Desperate voters are vulnerable voters.
Hard agree - that said...it's true that parlimentary systems offer better resistance to extremist politics, the worldwide rightward shift belies a deeper problem. That being neoliberalism. We're seeing the center collapse everywhere.
100% - it's all part of denazification. Trump will never serve a sentence long enough to atone. He should be sentenced fully for every single crime, posthumously if necessary, with the caveat that once his marshmallow-ass croaks, his goons must all serve out the remainder of his sentence.
They should have gotten Michelle Wolf back. She was so wonderfully inappropriate.
If you're confident about tripling down on the same strategy that put a fucking fascist in office twice, then I don't much give a shit what your opinion of me is. I don't care what MAGAts think of me either. You're both so steeped in magical thinking that you're unreachable.
I'm sure if Newsom runs on a platform of crucifying trans people in 2028, they will stop calling Dems radical leftists. Plus the 80 million working class voters who stayed home in 2024 will be activated because there's finally a Dem who is conservative enough to inspire them to get out and vote.
How convenient that your explanation for the loss doesn't require them to change a damn thing. Keep courting that mythical MAGA moderate and see where it gets you. They lost to the stupidest, weakest candidate ever...twice. Maybe they just needed to be tougher on crimes and immigration though.
Attacks on gender & sexual minorities is the canary in the coal mine for rising fascism. The Nazis started there, the GOP started there over a decade ago, and the UK is heading down the same path. Unless you want to end up like the US, I suggest the Brits speak up.
THIS needs to be every Democrat's messaging every single day (while still resisting Trump's every move). Real progressivism will win. People voted for Trump because he promised them the world if they made him king. Dems told them "the stock market is up! GDP is up!" while people were struggling.
JD Vance killed the pope. He's going to Catholic SuperHell.
"Give me a billion dollars, and I'll give you guys a bunch of blank EO letterhead. Just write 'em up and I'll sign 'em." Staggering corruption...normalized and wiped from public consciousness by a 24hr news cycle.
True, but he also failed us by arrogantly refusing to step aside. Harris too, by failing to run a progressive campaign that spoke to the working class. The Dems are not our friends, because they paved the way for Trump to win...both times. Neoliberalism needs to die.
What little he knows, he detests. He just wants to rule.
JD Vance killed the pope on Easter.
You guys hear JD Vance killed the pope? Doesn't that send catholics to like, SuperHell?
There are more entertaining fairy tales one can listen to.
Come get me. EVERYONE is entitled to due process. Even MAGA Nazis will be tried for their crimes when they fail and collapse. And fascists ALWAYS fail, because they are definitionally losers and morons. It's a key attribute of the ideology. Incompetence is baked in.
No true Scotsman. The "Real" Christians to which you refer willfully ignore the parts of the Bible that run counter to their own morality, and in doing so become better people than the god they serve. Their faith is incidental to their goodness... but MAGAts use theirs to justify Nazi shit.
She is a terrorist and when the regime is overthrown, she needs to be treated as one.
I'm of the opinion that there need to be mass protests and unrest to provoke Trump into making the mistake of asking the military to attack civilians. Some may go along, but it will immediately divide the military into his loyalists and those who stand with the people.
Bingo. And by planting their feet and refusing to pull the country in the direction of progress, they get pulled right, & they invite someone like Trump to come along, promise free ponies and ice cream, and get the votes of people desperate for change, but too ignorant to see the threat he poses.
Because their corporate donors and stock portfolios mattered more than the working class. They ran on being the lesser of two evils, always on the coattails of the GOP, trying to poach the mythical MAGA moderate - right up until we have unvarnished fascism in the Whitehouse. Good job, assholes.
It's a matter of self preservation - because fascists ALWAYS start with trans people. We're the canary in the coal mine. We're such a small percentage that no one says anything. This is why represention matters. Visibility matters. People shrug because they don't know a trans person.
And before anyone starts with this shit, I voted for Harris. Everyone I know did. But 90 million voters sat out. Dems don't lose to Republicans - they lose to couch.
You're not wrong, but establishment Dems paved the road we're on. You pushed out progressive candidates and CHOSE to run on a platform of defending the status quo while people suffered. Maybe you should sit this one out, Ms. Clinton. AOC & Bernie are the voices of the working class you failed.
It sounds satirical, but it's legit hard to tell.
I agree. Trump needs to be handled by the military. "All enemies, foreign and domestic."
Maybe we could switch to a ticket system like arcades. You get one just for playing so you never walk away empty handed, but if you hit the jackpot, you get a whole bunch. Then you can trade it for things like a finger trap or a fidget spinner.
It used to. What are we doing to return to such a time?
If the US survives in some form, and you all get thru this, there needs to be a reckoning for this. There are oceans of blood on the hands of everyone involved, and every single one must be made to answer for this in the harshest possible terms.
I've seen many a thing in my travels. None of them a god though.
That's totally what we do. It's standard practice. Are you saying you've never gotten a high five? You must really be doing something wrong.
Further, don't attribute to a god that which science can not yet explain. The God of the Gaps fallacy was a bad argument in the dark ages, and it's a bad argument now. If anyone has evidence for a god, let them present it. Otherwise, I have no reason to accept such claims.
If you truly believe this, organize, protest, disrupt, resist, mock, belittle, and provoke Trump to order the military to attack civilians. He'll get a few loyalists, and it's likely blood will be shed..but at the very least, you divide his force, but you may well incite a coup.
When lawless thugs show up to kidnap your neighbour, you get the whole neighbourhood together and beat the shit out of them. Extract a heavy price for their obedience to a tyrant. Make Nazis Afraid Again.
It would likely be the beginnings of a civil war, but at that point, I wonder if Canada/NATO would step in to liberate you from that orange tumor.
It needs to be much, much bigger. And nationwide. If he tries to sic the military on civilians, some would obey, many would not. There would be blood spilled, but it would be the end of a unified military and the beginning of the end of him.
Fascists always start with trans people. We're the canaries in the coal mine. I suggest you all figure out what to do about it, because you're on the same path as the US if you don't. It's not pretty over there.
I feel like the rank & file in military will be split as well.
The J6ers had it right. Their cause was an obvious, stupid lie. But that is the correct response to tyranny. Actual patriots need to go to DC and do actual patriot shit. The rule of law is over. That goes both ways. Trump declared war on all of you. He's outnumbered.
There's only one good kind of Nazi, and that kind will never tell another lie.
Lawlessness goes both ways. Trump declared war on America. He is the enemy within. He is to be assumed guilty and treated accordingly. No due process. J6ers had the correct reaction to (imaginary) tyranny. Now the threat is real. Time to stop the steal of your country.
I cannot fathom being angry about asexual people. It's one thing to fabricate a narrative about gender-diverse folks wanting to have sex with children, but how on earth do you get pissed off at someone who doesn't want to have sex with *anyone*??
I will deadname the gulf as well as Twitter until Elon acknowledges his trans child and they stop attacking trans people entitirely.
Bread and circuses is over. Yep. That's the current moment.
To be fair, he kinda was...but even though grandpa Joe was slipping, he wasn't anything like this piece of shit. I wish he'd stepped down earlier and I also wish the DNC would stop trying to fill the void Republicans left when they went MAGA-mad. We need progressives. Eat the rich.
