They don’t want kings. They only want power and money. Multiple homes, cars, yachts and George Clooney influence. It’s always about money.

paddyunidos.bsky.social•12 days ago

They are American Atheists, blaspheming our civic religion. They don’t believe a word of it.

haggholm.bsky.social•12 days ago

"Atheists" as a slur, huh? I guess if you're appealing to your fundagelical base, there…

Ironically, under these tariffs, we will have anything but max burger.

Or that immigration has led to the diversity that has made us a vibrant and dynamic cultural powerhouse. Or that religious pluralism has demanded that we develop empathy and respect for people with a wide range of beliefs that help to deepen and info our own faith traditions.

Burger King’s don’t count. I’m still here.

The ones who claimed to support strict adherence to the Constitution but cheered when Trump ripped it up, and to want a Christian nation - that practices the opposite of what Jesus said? To believe in states rights, but not accept that states have no rights? They're inconsistent? Really?

US is turning into a state of lieges and serfs. In Europe we weten done with that centuries ago, and your forefathers as well!

kimphilbywasbad.bsky.social•12 days ago

Literally they are pining for a Russia system, unless they are pining for a theocratic monarchy

sociaguy4110.bsky.social•12 days ago

They also want retribution and payback for their shitty lives.

I am glad that seven GOP senators have snapped out of their delusional state and are going against his tariffs!also… I’m enjoying this Musk/Navarro feud

The US was founded on some angry white males who didn’t like paying taxes or being told they couldn’t have slaves and massacre indigenous people (this isn’t to say the British were any better)

wiggummma.bsky.social•12 days ago

It was also remade time and time again. The Reconstruction Amendments, authored by a new set of founders, fundamentally changed the Constitution. So too did the Suffrage and Civil Rights Movements and the New Deal. And those are all part of the DNA of America.

phillip-wiles.bsky.social•12 days ago

The more things change, the more the stay the same.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

matisse.net•12 days ago

Indeed, what they want is basically feudalism: with most of us as peasants and all loyalty is owed personally to the lord above each person in the hierarchy. No loyalty to country or society or a Constitution: just to the powerful person above you.

100% The next time you see any sort of “America the beautiful” type video, with the patriotic music and the NatGeo worthy sweeping camera shots of canyons and valleys and great plains, remember that MAGA cadre is actively working to sell off, cut down, and strip mine every site in the vid.

This is what Americans said they wanted: This is what the people voted for.

kraigpeck.bsky.social•12 days ago

That's the difference between a nationalist--a tribalist--and a patriot.

Exactly! Progressives and civil rights activists have been making America great again since the beginning - Trump
Just stole the language

jcee88.bsky.social•12 days ago

I agree with you my friend. All these people definitely don't belong here in America. We are a democratic nation. Land of the free. I think if they're not gonna respect the US Constitution, they must be deported immediately!!

And here it is again: the MAGA movement is fundamentally un-American.

They would sacrifice our Republic for a fascist fantasy.

maxberger.bsky.social•12 days ago

For MAGA, the ideals of freedom and democracy are just ad copy—a way to sell exploitation by a corrupt few. They don’t believe in any of our founding documents or ideals, or the right of the people to govern ourselves.

It’s all just fucking bullshit to them.

ciociano1.bsky.social•7 days ago

You misunderstand. They want white conservative straight men to be able to do anything. Just not those other people.

ingridebap.bsky.social•12 days ago

But it’s not bullshit to us. Many of us honor our oath to our U.S. Constitution & those who don’t or are aiding & abetting an Insurrectionist must be disqualified & removed with 14.3!

ccinpa.bsky.social•12 days ago

They have the same approach to their religion.

nancydt.bsky.social•12 days ago

The envy of money is truly the root of evil.

heliant.bsky.social•12 days ago

Correction: you said: 'Don't believe in.' In reality, they don't know what they are.

ponsterm.bsky.social•12 days ago

Psychiatrist in NC here. Know lots of MAGA. Every MAGA seems deeply bitter about a perceived lack of freedom in their own life. They're paralyzed by a perceived inviolable loyalty to religion, culture, race, community, & clan, and they're desperate to see the rest of us punished for our own freedom.

the1truesid.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ok first of all I don't believe these people are getting mental health care

ponsterm.bsky.social•12 days ago

Who said anything about them getting mental health care? They don't need to be in my office to know what they're like or what their issues are.

newmexter.bsky.social•12 days ago

Reminds me of Alok Menon’s very good (heart forward) framing of things. I think Alok has some of the most insightful words on this theme and manages to see things with compassion and humanity.

ragingtorrent.bsky.social•12 days ago

Most likely they can’t read. 11 percent of the population is functionally illiterate. A slightly larger percentage only read at third grade level. Like the president, actually.

makeartandpeace.bsky.social•12 days ago

They don’t want to think. Our public education system has not produced people who think critically or creatively. I say this as a teacher who deeply believes in the value of public education.

scrivto.bsky.social•12 days ago

you may also have noticed the way they've $$ 💵starved the dept of education since the reagan years, PRECISELY to make people dumber & less able to think for themselves.

this has been a planned downward spiral into nationwide dumbfuckery.

trump loves the uneducated

there's a reason for that...🧐🎯😢🥶

earthappreciator.bsky.social•12 days ago

Tbf the founders didn’t believe that shit either that’s why they had slaves

maxberger.bsky.social•12 days ago

I don’t mind sounding naive or overly optimistic by saying that I actually fucking believe in this stuff: I think that the people should be able to govern ourselves, and a free society is the only kind worth living in.

These slobbering serfs are desperate to bow down to a king. It’s pathetic.

Donald Trump supporters were so broken by the fact that our country elected a Black president that their revenge for this is taking the United States of America back to submission to a white king.

There's a large portion of the population who want simple proscriptions to *feel* like there's a path to fulfillment. Who better than a strongman to tell you that if you follow their 10 simple steps to ego-death you too can sublimate yourself to their superior needs?

coshise.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trumpers love the flag, the military, 1A and that awful Lee Greenwood song. They hate everything else about America, especially its inhabitants.

southernviolet.bsky.social•12 days ago

They hate what the flag actually srands for, have extreme contempt foe the military and are shredding the 1A as we speak. Tho they do love two god awful Greenwood songs.

docjoe1986.bsky.social•12 days ago

To paraphrase LBJ, they are willing to be peasants who bow to a king as long as they can lord their status over the serfs.

philipvernon.bsky.social•12 days ago

The illuminating thing about the “market meltdown” is “capitalism” is showing its weaknesses; its fundamental susceptibility to incompetence and corruption . . . like its predecessor, cousin feudalism.

caveatruptur.bsky.social•12 days ago

Every system is susceptible to incompetence and corruption.

philipvernon.bsky.social•12 days ago

Not “every system” is currently being led by a complete #WEI imbecile.

We can discuss those other systems when they expose their weaknesses in real time — in such a short time.

They also very rarely talk about freedom. Like freedom just was not part of 2024 stump speech for Trump. No flourishes about it, basically nothing.
