No he isn't. This is a lawless land run by a felon who is cosplaying as a character that doesn't exist in 2025.

mle292.bsky.social•33 days ago

Maybe this government is not worth saving.

wayneh0813.bsky.social•33 days ago

Damn, that was tough. But then again, the truth always is.

blankwillbur.bsky.social•32 days ago

They didn't fail, they were in on it.

That's the story you should be writing, the collaboration, over decades, by all political parties and operatives in both "parties" with this "American Fascism" project.

gstam11.bsky.social•32 days ago

Kinda ate with this title, Rolling Stone.

So voters, especially white ones, have no agency and are just victims of "the establishment?" Congrats on being part of the problem.

jeanniecares435.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thank you for your talented writing. You put your finger on the most important truth. I avoided the coverage today except for your article. I cried, we have been betrayed by so many in power.

bella3mae.bsky.social•33 days ago

IF the spineless repugnant Republicans had done their job and Impeached this MF, we wouldn’t be here!!!

sea-monkey.bsky.social•33 days ago

It's officially a failed state

Yup it was a group effort. Glad everyone respected all those norms.

kymme9360.bsky.social•33 days ago

And did! Failed MISERABLY!!!!

williameburns.bsky.social•33 days ago

Not just institutions, though. It's also a failure of the American people.

williameburns.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yawn

carlnyberg312.bsky.social•33 days ago

Joe Biden seems like he deserves mention in the first line of those responsible for Trump making a comeback.

I'd say:
• billionaires
• Biden
• media
• the Democratic Party
• capitalism & racism
• not letting people vote

jthev805.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yup.

tyler91j.bsky.social•33 days ago

We need to replace them ALL

kikinovak.net•33 days ago

Donald Trump is the first transgender president.

He's a dick and a cunt.

liberals4liberty.bsky.social•33 days ago

Hip hip hooray
It’s National Felon Day
Where foreign autocrats, insane IT billionaires & crypto krats
Gather in our Capitol Rotunda to
Celebrate the installation of an organized crime syndicate in the USA - A Caucasian Mafia
Taxpayers are you ready for the biggest con of all time?

vlime286.bsky.social•33 days ago

Let’s just say the hashtag resist movement failed in the long term.

stonebuddha21.bsky.social•32 days ago

Straight truth

kingbeauregard.bsky.social•33 days ago

Fuck off, Rolling Stone. Say it like it needs to be said: white people preferred him to a Black woman.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

“Don’t blame the current group of billionaire fascists who are currently dismantling our democracy and the media that cheers them on and did their best to mislead voters! Let’s blame a few million ignorant hicks for everything instead!”

ilidiocarmona.bsky.social•33 days ago

i blame the Dems for this....their lack of courage is borderline criminal!

elmontayslim.bsky.social•32 days ago

Will Merrick Garland become the greatest traitor in American history?

lostcosmictexts.bsky.social•31 days ago

Who appointed Garland and kept him on well after it was clear he was going to protect his right wing collaborators?

henneypenny2020.bsky.social•32 days ago

What about all of the people who didn't engage with the election issues and didn't bother to vote. We need to figure out how to get people out to the polls.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yeah. Too many people are willing to laugh along with fascists

crazyboysx5.bsky.social•33 days ago

I am heartbroken for our country. We have failed America.

aucuparia.bsky.social•33 days ago

Pardon the brutal bluntness but not just America. The entire planet.

bshirley.shirl.com•32 days ago

I would add SCOTUS in Citizens United (and other political funding cases).

warbirdactual.bsky.social•33 days ago

Biden and the democrats cared more about helping Israel kill Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians than they cared about stopping trump and the maga cultists.

thejoelaffair.bsky.social•32 days ago

Failure indeed. History reveals to us that there are very few people like this that spring up from inside our species. Completely lacking and shame or humility, debunk of morality or recognition of the other, these people are maniacs. These few, detect weaknesses and exploit them w/out regard.

interrogaomnia.bsky.social•30 days ago

lazydave.bsky.social•32 days ago

And 36m who couldn’t be bothered to get off their lazy arses and vote.

glaukon.bsky.social•33 days ago

Especially by Republicans and SCOTUS. And by the people who voted for him and who apparently don't give a fuck about character or constitution.

toxik56.bsky.social•33 days ago

🤢🤮

itiswhatitis0103.bsky.social•33 days ago

I'm starting to think Elon helps steal the election. Those voting machines need to be looked at.

johnhatchard.bsky.social•33 days ago

"On his signature issue of preserving democracy, Biden failed spectacularly" ...

I added extra links in this Bluesky thread not included in the original article.

annabellelecter.bsky.social•32 days ago

On its central responsibility to inform the population about Trump's lies and plans to flout the law, the media and many independent journalists failed spectacularly.

larryleclair.bsky.social•33 days ago

Never forget - almost 90 million eligible voters didn't bother to vote.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Never forget - Joe Biden failed to prosecute a man who attempted a violent government coup

rootless.bsky.social•32 days ago

You're both right.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Sure, but one directly lead to the other. Joe Biden told every voter Trump was not responsible for Jan 6th with his failure to prosecute. And we’re mad the voters listened?

rootless.bsky.social•32 days ago

Plenty of people to be mad at.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Which is why I’ll choose to focus on the people who had actual power over some ignorant brain washed hicks

mariootsa.bsky.social•33 days ago

Them too.

deadkandance.bsky.social•33 days ago

As far as I'm concerned, they can all just go and f themselves. If they start whining how things are going, I do not care. They did this to themselves as well as the rest of us.

bigdogmomthree.bsky.social•33 days ago

Should read: Colossal failure by white voters and media...

Don't put this shit on the Dems, you can take white people to fresh water, but you can't make them drink, especially if there was a Black woman on the ballot.

debmack.bsky.social•32 days ago

it's not both sides on this, more corporate media BS

iamgregordeee.bsky.social•32 days ago

renafrani.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yeah, I don’t think this article went far enough. Only scratched the surface of how we got to this disaster and how it’s on more than just the leaders in this country. Lots of regular folks, us privileged White folks in particular, were far too comfortable with our privilege and didn’t do enough.

iamgregordeee.bsky.social•30 days ago

danielaphoto.bsky.social•33 days ago

Talk to WM and WW that voted for this azzhole again

amosmagliocco.bsky.social•33 days ago

Everyone takes blame except the voters, huh? The election was ours to win or lose, propaganda, lies, and whatever else notwithstanding. Self-government requires some rudimentary critical thinking skill, discernment. Newspapers have always lied. Candidates have always misrepresented.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

What were the voters told? The media told them Trump was normal. The Dems told them Jan 6th wasn’t actually his fault with their failure to prosecute. Is he Hitler or is he a buddy you laugh with? The media, politicians, and oligarchs are 100% to blame. It’s a big club, and they’re all in it.

pdhue.bsky.social•31 days ago

I can't help but think this this type of attitude made the difference in the election, "Why vote? They're all corrupt. It doesn't matter" sentiment. If only a few more saw the difference between Trump and Harris & put in the effot to vote, we wouldn't be were we are today. Now we are left with WTYS.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•31 days ago

You’re right. It definitely did. And shame on Dems like Obama for pushing that attitude

cheyennegrayowl.bsky.social•31 days ago

Bunk. Back to X with you Vladimir

collieflower.bsky.social•33 days ago

dog, the voters are the clay. they are the population. the common man, without power. the population is sculpted by the institutions that surround them, who have power. it's a chain of causation. we're here because they led us here. it's a long line of events and failures, the left warned against.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

It’s blue maga. They would rather finger wag everyone else in the world than admit their candidates suck

postyoucoward.bsky.social•33 days ago

oddly enough I didn't see a ballot line for "the voters"

keithfarrell.bsky.social•33 days ago

See the thing about "voters" is they're actually not a single group or demographic. 👍

kingbeauregard.bsky.social•33 days ago

You're right, WHITE voters were the problem. They were the only demographic that preferred Trump.

keithfarrell.bsky.social•33 days ago

I guess all Latino men are also the problem now then.

kingbeauregard.bsky.social•33 days ago

I guess you're too fucking stupid to know what "demographic" means. Just kidding, I don't have to guess.

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Holy shit you are a moron lol. Are Hispanic men not a demographic? Fuck off you dummy

keithfarrell.bsky.social•33 days ago

Wait.. lol... are you saying Hispanic men aren't a demographic??

arlenr24.bsky.social•33 days ago

Evil. Trump is evil. Pure, absolute, Biblical evil. As is Musk. As is MAGA. As are Republicans.

binki666.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yup and all the idiots that didn’t vote are just as guilty as magats. Fuck them all in the neck

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes. Keep fighting the real fight that matters. As long as it makes you feel better

an2ni088.bsky.social•33 days ago

Biden and the democrats blew it

drewdeland.bsky.social•33 days ago

gypsybass.bsky.social•33 days ago

America is no longer the beacon of hope. Greed and disrespect flowing through the American society is a sign of moral decay

deadkandance.bsky.social•33 days ago

Ugh, I hate how he smiles.He always reminds me of a toddler who just did a HUGE stinker in their underoos and are so proud of themselves.

dummdiedei.bsky.social•33 days ago

Those that paid for his win wanted it that way.

coffeebreak.bsky.social•32 days ago

It was more all the ignorant selfish racists that voted for trump. At least there is karma

fascistsoftwitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

What about the ones that laugh along with him?

olmanpermckinney.bsky.social•33 days ago

Catastrophic self-own.
Strolling obliviously into the stump grinder.

yachtie.bsky.social•33 days ago

What a sad day for the whole world. 4 years of misery begin.

baldio.bsky.social•33 days ago

4 years? Trump will never leave the WH again. There will never be fair and free elections again.

keithfarrell.bsky.social•33 days ago

Rolling Stones is basically the only real journalism we have left.

marktspence.bsky.social•33 days ago

cwilhelm24.bsky.social•33 days ago

At this point I'm angriest at the doddering old nincompoops who are good at exactly one thing, no more, no less: Remaining firmly in charge of everything the Democratic Party does and says.

quiq1974.bsky.social•33 days ago

The felon in chief.

jqb2.bsky.social•33 days ago

They didn't fail. They were complicit.

sueric.bsky.social•33 days ago

A very very dark day for America and democracy around the globe.

canadaeh.bsky.social•33 days ago

MY only hope is that he will be shunned by every country on earth.

sueric.bsky.social•33 days ago

He will be shunned by our allies and embraced by our adversaries.
