I am not seeing "Constitutional amendment reversing Citizens United" on any of these New Reconstruction wishlists folks are circulating, and. Absent starting over from scratch, I don't see us establishing any semblance of democracy here without that plus Supreme Court expansion.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

The root of the problem. Our society is rotten to its core. And that shit doesn’t go away with an election.

Unfortunately this opens the way for another magat who didn’t torch their career to take her spot. I’m from iowa and Iowa conservatives won’t vote blue. Ever. They will vote R if it’s not the one who took their healthcare away. Conservatives never learn. They would have stayed home. Now they won’t.
Ryan (@ryanfrieden.bsky.social)
MAGAt officials announcing they won’t seek reelection isn’t the win we think it is. They’re clearing the way for another MAGAt who hasn’t ruined their careers and voted to destroy our country to replace them. Rural conservatives won’t vote blue. They WILL vote for a different MAGA fascist though.

And I fear we will do it again and none of these fascist traitors will see an ounce of accountability.

I tried to point out the obvious problems in the dem party and I got attacked by a weak minded lib who posted my comment on her own page just to ratio me. The whole interaction was no different than dealing with maga.

Our media isn’t complicit. It’s an active combatant in this fascist takeover. If we allow them to continue to exist we failed to hold key pillars of our democracy accountable and will ensure they keep lying to us. Demand better.

If we accept anything less than lengthy prison sentences and executions for EVERY Magat official we will have failed our duty as Americans and guaranteed this will happen again and again.

Once again, local cops help the fascists. The thin blue line of bullshit that is “protect and serve” has been thoroughly exposed as a lie. All they’ve done is ensure the image of cops is forever tainted by fascism and eroded any trust the public had left.

This is how every magat needs to be treated. I don’t care if words he used offend some liberals. Get over it, you fight fire with fire or you get steamrolled.

How can being so obviously hypocritical not bring consequences? It blows my mind that our nations ethical and moral standards have degraded this much. Is there really any coming back from this far of a fall?

Ironic considering you were the one so butthurt you had to expose yourself on social media by going after me. I get it men are shitty, but just because one said something you don’t like doesn’t mean they’re broken women hating monsters. But you go ahead and keep projecting.

Says the one who needs to try and get others to defend you by confirming your bias. But I do have better things to do with my time than hold a mirror to someone who only sees what they want to see and projects the rest onto others. Enjoy the cognitive dissonance.

Ope, off to make a thread to feed your cognitive dissonance lol. Classic. Better get that confirmation bias stroked to ease that struggle in your head.
Ryan (@ryanfrieden.bsky.social) reply parent
You act just like one. And all because you heard something you don’t want to be true. Another classic magat trait. Sucks when the mirror is shoved in your face doesn’t it? But you enjoy the cognitive dissonance and pretending the things you want to be true is real.
Ryan (@ryanfrieden.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah you’re definitely a magat in disguise. Rejection of reality, rejection of things just told to you, fabrication of things you want to be true. Massive hypocrisy. Classic magat.

Also worth noting, you’re not even from New York! 😂 Yet you tell me not to worry about a state I don’t live in as you defend status quo garbage in a state you don’t live in. Classic. It’s almost like I’m talking to a maga.

Lol I haven’t spoken to my Maga family in years. Cognitive dissonance is in total control now eh? But you keep defending the status quo that got you here. Let’s see if 50th times a charm!

And in classic American fashion, those networks that ignored trumps fascism to air wall to wall coverage of Biden’s age didn’t suffer one single consequence for their actions because Americans can’t be bothered to make even the smallest of sacrifices.

The US recorded a debt to gdp ratio of 124% in 2024. Every single nation that surpasses 130% debt to gdp has collapsed. Every. Single. One. Our empire is in decline and there is no stopping it. No matter who is in office. We are going to pass 130%. The clock is ticking and times almost up.

Yeah it’s spreading. Because our chicken shit society can’t be bothered to fight. They won’t stop on their own. They will only stop when WE STOP THEM. But keep pretending the midterms he’s actively rigging right in front of us will save us so people don’t have to get their hands dirty.

Each time trump escalates and this impotent populace refuses to do the same, it’s obeying in advance. These weak pathetic protests have amounted to absolutely nothing. They’re nothing more than a pacifier for a population that can’t be bothered to make sacrifices.

Sacrifices must be made by each of us. Wether that’s a job, or our own bodies via tear gas clubs and rubber bullets. That’s how the civil rights movement won. By taking the abuse for the whole country to witness. They put everything on the line. If we refuse to do that then we already lost.

Trump said he will “relocate” (kidnap) homeless far from DC. Which we know means concentration camps. Most likely to force them to work farms. It’s fkn insane and horrifying that we’re so rapidly devolving back to one of our original sins. What’s it going to take for us to say enough is enough?
