Democracy doesn't die in darkness, it will die in broad daylight in a steaming pile of cowardice, ignorance, self-interest and greed.

It’s happening here too under starmers gov James

This is frightening

Absolutely!

in darkness !

Trump has media in his thrall. He's chaotically furthering the long standing anarcho-capitalist tenancies of the US 'right'. It couldn't fly in Europe..?

This is America in palliative care. The world was watching it drink 2L of exceptionalism/consumption Vodka a day for decades prior to this.

The most shocking part is how readily the “elites” rush to surrender. From Columbia to newspapers to law firms. For years, this country has clung to the illusion that we value freedom and independence. We are no different than all those other countries we look down on. No different.

Bonespurs might be vindictive child enough, but this really isn't all his doing. He hasn't the intellectual capacity. The string pullers, from Miller to Voght, Thiel and others, less visible, are in play. If the useful idiot dies, see them slithering up behind their protégé The Chipmunk in Chief.

🫣😖😱‼️

But your still happy to 'both sides' the trans issue, that's real people dying

Worse than that, he's happy to leave "the 'trans issue'" out of any equality discussion. That's not equality if you need to leave a whole community out.

Project 2025/Trumps fascist machination are going at break neck speed(in political terms), with him dismantling all checks and balances of the US government, taking control of education/media/free speech/, financial terrorism against the entire world using his idiotic trade war/genocidal war crimes

George Orwell 1984 brought to life

This was foreseeable. If you know the playbook they were employing or, at the latest, when Jeff Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong took a hand in steering their newspapers towards DJT right before the elections. Question in my mind: Which lessons learned help as to how we (!) could have prevented this?

Do you really not think that the Heritage Foundation will find a way of dumping him if he goes too far? Vance is far more pliable. They are cool with the deportations as White Christian Fascists, but I doubt they are happy with the Epstein cover up. Vance is no fool either, seeing Murdoch.

Having some of the most gullible folk on the planet, the silencing of Yanks isn't that hard to imagine 👽

Couldn't agree more. Corbyn was often critiqued unjustifiably by you and the rest of the right wing British media, enthusiasticly supported by the Labour Party during 2017 election campaign! Long live the Establishment....

Hilarious that JoB has now been accused of antisemitism and had to apologise. 🤣🤣🤣

it’s still alive?!?!?

Whatever happened to those bleating about 'freedom of speech' ?

Ironically given what people said about how Trump won the election he is driving key media figures (Colbert) straight to podcasts where there is an even bigger audience

How can one person be allowed to create such mayhem? It's beyond comprehension 😞

Well, we've still got 3 or 4 more years, then it's our turn. We all know we're stupid and hateful enough.

The really interesting thing to watch will be if the midterms appear to be significantly anti Trump then what the response is…..assuming the elections themselves haven’t already been compromised!!
