The coup only failed if Trump was impeached and removed.

THANK YOU, @brainnotonyet.bsky.social!

Once again, I thought for a moment that I was crazy.

The #coup isn't over until the rule of law is restored... and not necessarily even then.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•3 days ago

A whole lot of people have a vested interest in Americans not coming together to fight fascism because it means we will also have come together in a way that means we can fight them and they’re bullshit more effectively.

Bondi, Patel, Bongino in place. Generals and JAGs fired. Nope, we aren't even out of the first quarter yet.

Well said

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•3 days ago

this headline literally only works to solidify the ongoing coup it is meant to pacify the population from actually pushing back because people are starting to become scared that if we push back, we’re not going to stop at removing Republicans we’re gonna stop when America is a democracy

So everything's going back to how it was in December? Cool

“ the pandemic is over because we have a vaccine”

´It’s a mild coup, it only affects the vulnerable.’

mariabustillos.bsky.social•3 days ago

He's asking people to ramp up the pressure, if you read the piece; he's saying it's working.

paprikapink.bsky.social•3 days ago

that's a big If

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•3 days ago

I did read the piece and that’s why I said it’s propaganda because the headlines bullshit. hope that helps. The coup is in no way over and anyone making headlines like this is helping those enacting the coup. his entire premise is bullshit. we haven’t stopped shit yet.

You’re literally making my argument for me thank you. He literally says that the coup is over in that line which is a demonstrable lie. anyways, keep using what you think are gotchas prove my point for me.

mariabustillos.bsky.social•3 days ago

No "gotcha" intended. We didn't read this the same way; I disagree with you. Thanks for the conversation.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•3 days ago

here let me write out the words he used for you since you can’t seem to read. “It's made it impossible for Trump to sustain his coup.” this is a bald face lie that has no basis in truth The coup has not been slowed down the coup has not been stopped at all.

of course it's the Prospect... #smdh

This is some "Comical Ali" reporting right here.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•3 days ago

David’s piece in prospect is not just wrong. It’s a dangerously wrong position that gives people like Trump musk and others who are still engaged or in a coup that is ongoing cover and attempts to stop the population from actually pushing back against the ongoing coup. this is literal propaganda.

It's the siren song of capitalism: don't worry about who's in charge, just buy more stuff.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•3 days ago

hope you’re starting to see why many of us who study, speak publicly and educate around authoritarianism and misinformation try and tie parallels between this kind of belief and the eugenics propaganda of “the pandemic over because we have a vaccine” it’s the same magical thinking and pacification

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•3 days ago

White men with power stop trying to cover up for the fact that the fascist coup is not over, and the problem is fascist white men trying to impose their will on the rest of us challange failed yet again.

buglady.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, that's a very dangerous message that they're passing around. The coup hasn't even really gotten going yet, I suspect, I am sure there is worse to come. People need to be prepared, not shocked when Trump keeps ramping this up.

sinclairlewis.bsky.social•3 days ago

What a fucked up POV…his, not yours.

angaeilgeoir.bsky.social•3 days ago

This reminds me of "the election is in the bag" style stories that said the fascists would fail to be elected. Building complacency that it'll all work out ok without people being directly involved.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•3 days ago

wow, he blocked me and under 15 seconds looks like some of these people have no ability to understand the fact that the reason they’re mad when we start pointing out that this is fascism is they see their reflection.

maryeku.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s been a shock to me when I hear “but that doesn’t make sense” (yes it does), or “why would he do that?” (Not getting the point.). It’s like talking to a rock.
