This is quite a kicker in Thomas Edsall’s latest op-ed.

Fuck the New York Times.
Anything is better than a boring black lady living in the White House...
After all it's called the White House not the Black House.
Thanks, Trumpers!
Those are all things you can expect in the first 6 months.
Within 4 years, expect societal collapse.
How do we do the Aneurysm?
I have, since November 9, 2016.
Also, I’m not sure NATO has any interest in getting involved at that point
The real question is, can we expect US citizens to completely revolt against everything the GOP is forcing? Revolt against everything in that op-ed?
Or do the US citizens sit it out and let tyranny happen?
And they still don't get it do they? They have options, but they're too fucking stupefied or petrified (like a tree) to get out of the box to actually think
Ergo, unhelpful
He still isn't expecting the worst.
Americans will not be subjugated by a corrupt madman.
But we could endure this if we could count on free and fair elections.
Burn it all down and rebuild as an oligarchy run by a billionaire as CEO with a “Caesar” in the role of President/Dictator using the damage his policies created as an excuse to hold onto power.
The resistance is growing.
Protest today!
And when the worst comes, you're welcome to eat your red hat.
Has there been any mea culpa from the NYT for their "both sides" / "access journalism" / "normalizing" / "cletus safari" / "Overton Window shifting" / *journalism's* role in getting us here?
A president and a party that think they'll have to face voters again doesn't act this way.
Honestly, do you see any way that a grifter/Russian asset like Trump would ever allow a future in which he could face criminal charges?
One way or another, he'll be president for the rest of his life.
He's already doing whatever he wants, laws & constitution be damned.
And yes, I will be dressing fancy.
America is now a 3rd world basket case.
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Get real folk. Some will need to get ugly.
ANNIHILATION
some of us educated ourselves on the choices during this election
and most of those some think about people that will be affected
before ourselves
we lost BIG
Death
Homelessness
Poverty
Depression
Occupy Wall Street Summer going to be lit 🔥
Better stay in those Hamptons houses

Which is why we must work NOW to build new networks of civil support that defend democracy.
That said destroying the public infrastructure we have built for decades cannot be replaced, at least not quickly.
Knowing our nation’s history helps prepare for today.
Peter Thiel owns Vance. Vance is his proxy when the Yarvin plan comes to fruition.
Musk backed Trump so he has to keep Trump alive.
Musk and Thiel are each trying to be the CEO of a rebuilt fascist America.

It will fall apart.
Don Jr.? Vance? Bannon? Musk isn't an American. Boebert? MTG? DeSantis?
The movement will fracture as wannabees try to pick up as many MAGA pieces as possible.
The ONLY thing that could stop it is killing Vance & making Don JR. VP, creating a "royal" line.
*USA stares back*
"Oh no.."
OR, they will just announce Putin as dictator.
FOTUS is the world's greatest conman, liar, & fraudster... yet they all worship him.
Op Ed’s, memes & cute TikTok videos might get you a click & a like, but if you want to save your democracy you need to actually get out there.
The protests so far have been sparse & intermittent.
Where is the daily WH protest?
