As long as a whole party backs him it will be nearly impossible to contain him. We are watching what this party will do and hold them responsible. Do they want to go down with this ship?

Democrats seem to be doing a whole lot of submitting for people who aren't going to submit.
The wealthy enabled Hitler, despite thinking he was crass, liberal and conservative alike.
History repeats itself endlessly, and this dance is playing out beat for beat again.

Not really getting the "neo" part of the fascism. Is this term implying Trump is to fascism what neocons are to conservatism?

I will NEVER submit.

ryetide.bsky.social•7 days ago

It is also helpful to understand that Trump is a malignant narcissist and he is surrounded by a cabinet of sycophants. Remember the last cabinet meeting where each member of the cabinet stood up and did nothing but glorify the actions taken in furtherance of their divine leader?

But but but those in control of Congress and the Supreme Court already have empty suits abound that’s the most astonishing thing, the party of fake law and order pimped out for all to see and did it with the biggest racist smile at having finally won the Confederacy,I don’t wish I was/am in Dixie 🌚

fireboss.bsky.social•6 days ago

The Republican party will have a day of reckoning. At the Nuremberg trials Hitler's fascist puppets defense was; "I just was following my orders". The Trump enablers will have their Nuremberg trial during the upcoming elections. The "Just following orders" defense won't work for them either! 😈🐘

rhubarb-and-rue.bsky.social•7 days ago

Look at Johnson. Looking embarrassed and powerless as Trump rattles off some fascist idiocy that he has to stand there and accept. Not sure which is greater in him, his greed or his cowardice, to keep him standing there.

davenewb.bsky.social•7 days ago

Is "resting dick face" an accepted term for a facial expression? 😏

rhubarb-and-rue.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hmm. Sure, but in this case I think "resting limp dick face" fits better.

rhubarb-and-rue.bsky.social•6 days ago

fiorsbud.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don’t see embarrassment. I see fear and cowering and desperation to avoid humiliation. He’s prostrating himself to stay in the good graces so he isn’t sent into exile and have to face himself, the rest of us, and his God in order to justify what he’s enabled.

rhubarb-and-rue.bsky.social•6 days ago

I gave him too much credit, then, to be embarrassed of himself? 😆

fiorsbud.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep, I think you did. He’s too convinced he’s right and too self-satisfied to be embarrassed, but insecure enough to be afraid. (Thumbs up emoji—for some reason, my keyboard doesn’t give the the option of using emojis on Bluesky; who knows why)

Let's always add that Republicans in Congress are *co-conspirators*. They are as responsible as he is. They are allowing all of this to happen. We can't wait to just *vote them out*. Too much damage is being done now! #RepublicanCongress

fruvous73.bsky.social•6 days ago

The classic pattern is for them to forget they are beholden to anyone at all until they end up alienating absolutely all of their supporters, even the most "loyal" ones, and that's when the coup happens because there's nobody left to defend them.

And every day, more Republicans turn against him.

magicsany.bsky.social•7 days ago

He’s constantly testing the boundaries of his power—and with weak opposition, those boundaries keep expanding. If we can’t act to protect our democracy, maybe we don’t deserve to keep it.

spiritbirdfreedom.bsky.social•7 days ago

They're so cartoonish-ly villainous. It's amazing...

realpaulg.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ummm, no we've already seen that the courts & the laws basically do not apply to him. If they did, he'd have been in jail years ago. So, what we're left with is going to be a bloody fight from the people to get rid of him and his cronies. We'll have a real, bloody fight to do what the courts didn't.

US democracy dies in a limelight. If Big Beautiful Bill becomes the law, Congress removes the courts’ ability to use the power of contempt SCOTUS’ only way to enforce its rulings & the last obstacle to dismantle American democracy as planned in Project 2025 aka Mein Kampf 2025!

oneodddragon.bsky.social•6 days ago

That’s only if they don’t post security (a bond) and the provision never stated a minimum.

The judges can contempt them on a dollar.

Plus, if they find it unconstitutional, they can strike it down. Just because a bill is passed doesn’t make everything in it law.

Vote blue 💙🇺🇸

electric-poet.bsky.social•6 days ago

"...Trump openly lied to the president of South Africa..."

Not to defend D.J. Trump, but is it a *lie* if he actually believes it? He sure seems to think those MS13 tattoos are the real deal. Again, this isn't a defense. I think it's more worrying that he actually believes in the fantasies spews!

witwarrior.bsky.social•6 days ago

Believing in a “white genocide” is Trump’s right; accusing a national leader, while also representing a nation, is not.

The US submitted. Rhose who voted for him and doesn't who didn't bother to show up already agreed that he should be allowed to do anything he wanted. The fact that he is there is the proof that a sane mind has little value in the United States.

jamesbakerstudio.bsky.social•6 days ago

Something in him makes me think he wants nothing more than to crash and burn.

witwarrior.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think Trump is like a family annihilator, who destroys everything but who also often ends up killing himself.
There seems to be a headlong impulse to crash, but I’m afraid he intends to wreck America first.

skipb.bsky.social•7 days ago

No one could sell 1930s Nazism in 2025. It had to be repackaged as crass thuggish hooliganism, wrapped in the flag and holding a Bible (that no one reads or abides by)
