Authoritarianism is inherently strange. Trump’s worsening madness and Musk’s repulsive behavior is part of that, but also it all provides an opening for actual resistance. The backlash is coming.

There is a picture just like that. Cover of newsweek or the Nation in 2001. A bunch of Republican reps a chainsaw and America's mortgage funding regulations. A pile of paperwork and red tape. They're so clever aren't they?

No. They're ignorant magically thinking morons

Americans will never get it

I will get hate for this, but I would watch 3 hours of Javier Milei taking the ring to Mordor.

Have you watched Zero Day? Makes you wonder what they did to Biden and what evil things elon is doing to a whole lot of important people

Democrats and media do us a disservice if they treat all of this as if it’s normal or give it an ounce of validity. And if we’re going to get out of this mess it’s going to require a clear-eyed recognition that this isn’t just an aberration of rules but also a deeply wrong endeavor.

It isn’t normal to hurt millions of people and relish in their pain. It isn’t normal to destroy everything built to protect people for personal profit. It isn’t normal to vilify entire groups of people and attempt to erase their existence or celebrate their anguish.

It isn’t normal for an adult to behave like a toddler. It isn’t normal to be a pathological liar it isn’t normal to want to be a Nazi

MAGA and these oligarchs are in a cult. Full stop. And seeing it play out is to feel nauseous and disturbed. It can’t be legitimized. You cannot work with it. All of this requires an honest assessment that this is wrong and this is fundamentally destructive. Everything else is capitulation.

Normal if you’re a psychopath.

We’re already seeing indicators that people are increasingly alarmed by this oligarchical coup and its behavior. Couple that with incoming economic shock and we’re looking at an equal reaction to this movement.

See it. Talk to those around you about. And be prepared when the shit hits the fan.

Trump & #Republicans 👿☠️

This. Why say maga when it’s republicans. All of them. This is what they’ve been wanting… minority rule with government so small they can drown it in a bathtub. Republicans are the problem.

Mussolini was basically a troll. So yeah. It squares.
