Why have the democratic leadership refused to end fracking? And walked away from universal healthcare and raising the minimum wage? The two parties aren’t the same, but they are not polar opposites.
One party stopped its populist's campaign and went on to electoral defeat. The other one ran its populist and never entertained even the idea of a superdelegate, much less skipping its presidential primary.
They are def. not the same.
Democrats have a diverse party - I would even consider some Dem's former Reagan type Republicans.
We have moderates & progressives. A good mix.
They have extremists ONLY.
They are doing a great job causing suffering for SO many.
Waiting, I'm sure HC is next.
Yeah that’s not a good thing and definitely doesnt make me want to vote for Democrats. This country needs an actual left party. We need a Socialist party in this country even things out.
Also a solution is to vote out congressional reps periodically. For example Hal Rogers has been in office for 22 terms. That is 44 yrs. People like him need to be held responsible!
The two party system has really screwed you over. I agree that a lot of Dem voters want progressive policies, but the Party doesn't because it's not what their corporate sponsors want. The Dem party apparatus will delay or block attempts for serious improvements to conditions of the working class.
You are 100% correct! Those peddling false equivalence are horrible.
But so are those closing their ears to valid criticism of a Democratic leadership that failed to protect democracy and seems hellbent on repeating the same mistakes.
The basis of fascist ideology is entitlement: “I’m an (insert nationality), therefore I have an inherent right to superiority over others.” When they feel their privilege or sense of superiority challenged or threatened, they lash out and seek to punish or eliminate the “others” they blame for it.
But the free Palestine people, who could now give a shit about ethnic cleansing and US military occupation of Gaza if they don’t comply with forced displacement, said they were so…
At least I can somewhat understand their reluctance to support someone who wouldn't clearly and unequivocally condemn the genocide as such. I still think it was a bad decision and resent it but if my family were being wiped off the earth I'd like a firm commitment from whomever.
Because it wasn’t a genocide it was a war their government provoked with a terror attack. You’re an idiot. Harris was clear that the scale of deaths was too great, that Netanyahu was an animal, and that Palestinians deserve equal rights and their own state. Now they get none of it
Hamas started a war WITHOUT provocation because they are terrorists. Killed and captured innocent people at a music festival. And got thousands of gazans killed. The gazans they supposedly care about. May Hamas sympathizers rot in hell for supporting terrorism. Israel had left Gaza to Palestinians
Does it mean Netanyahu has the right to target civilian occupied areas even in war? NO. He DOES NOT. which is what Kamala Harris said. But trump said he did. And Arab Americans voted for him. Why? Because they hate gay people and “woke.” Be honest with yourself
The only “occupation” happening is in the West Bank which is governed by the Palestinian authority and it has NOTHING to do with Gaza or Hamas. Hamas is not welcome in the West Bank because they are terrorists.
If you had an education and some manners you'd realize we are on the same side, in spite of slightly differing views on this particular subject, and wouldn't start foaming at the mouth.
I don't get your mindless overreaction. Are you incapable of dialogue or what?
Israel was not occupying Gaza on October 7 yet they called it a justified response to an occupation. Lmaoooo Israel hasnt occupied Gaza in decades. Gaza was self governing. And their government decided that they wanted to attack Israel because they hate Israel. The end. Hamas caused the deaths
No they are never the same as one has some awareness of their Social Intelligence while the other still thinks like animals as they have no awareness of their Social intelligence.
We have two intelligences One is Material the other is Social.
But we left one behind on the Savannah of Africa.
What I don’t understand is that Trump told us exactly what he was going to do and intelligent, educated people still voted for him. Perhaps they didn’t vote at all or………….?
I wonder if the "I'm not gonna vote for any of the two party candidates," or the "It doesn't matter to me what happens, I'm not voting" or the "I just can't vote for Biden or Harris because...Gaza," voters are having any second thoughts.
If only those young hackers who work for Musk would use their gifts to get information on all the super wealthy and give all that $ to those in need. That would be a beautiful thing to see. I know I'm dreaming
As billionaires becoming centibillionaires continue to deny freedoms and loot coffers at what point do average people say enough already and stop punching themselves in the face (pay taxes)?
And we wanted that for anyone who wanted it. By contrast they actively seem to want to deny people of their life, liberty and happiness for no other reason than that it offends them to see people who are different from them living their best lives.
Yes & no. This is what happens when we get siloed. That's why I visit rightwing sites to see what they are saying or believing (holding my nose 😆). It's scary how many people I know who are unaware. Going to take us going door to door talking to our neighbors. I'm serious. It's a cult. Now this:
Right’s done MUCH better job at owning messaging -AM radio & recently 6 Spanish speaking stations, FOX, Sinclair local broadcasting, Cable choices,Podcasts. Right megaphones dis&mis information all over the country in matter of hrs while left spends week fact checking-public already on to next lies
I’ve voted for losses before and survived ok. But…this?!? My faith in my fellow citizenry may be irreparably broken. I can’t even muster enough optimism to enjoy my lifelong Trek love…💔
I'm guessing "them" doesn't refer to the people of Gaza. No one believes the Democrats want this, because their actions do not show it. Economic health never translated to lower prices, the health care system remains the embarrassment of the Western world, tuition fees are still extortionate etc.
I’ve seen so many of them ask to please spare republicans’ jobs etc. They openly support our government attacking us and not them! When Trump finishes setting up his regime it’s going to be even worse!
What have they done to help those of us who just want to live our lives peacefully? Not extravagantly. Not like kings and queens. Just simple lives. They have done nothing but torment us. I can't take much more of this chaos. 😩
If Elon Musk never made another cent for the rest of his life, it would take him 219 years, spending $5,000 a day to exhaust his wealth. Let that sink in Trumpies. That 5K he wants to give you to get you through one month of bills. He couldn't spend in two hundred and nineteen years to end up broke.
Perhaps depends how many stop buying his car products and many jumping out of X - losing all the money he earns with US govt. I bet he would have a tough time if the Dems win a future election as well
I work through several small Midwest towns and driving through some of these towns, I see Trump flags flying on these rundown, old houses with trash all over. These Trumpies lived there in 2016. They live there today, and they'll still live there ten years from now. Life hasn't changed at all.
I just had a "friend" unfriend me on Facebook. He's Mexican, born in the US and living in Canada. He's been watching YouTube videos about DOGE finding fraud and now supports Trump. He said he knows I'm a good person and does know why I'm so against Trump. It all just goes right over their heads.
No they certainly are not. We like to think that it’s just red states inhabitants with 6th grade reading levels who support him. I live in a wealthy suburban area, filled with white collar professionals and all they discuss on the next door app is how much they can’t wait to rid the nation of libs.
Huh. Ok. Because it sort of feels like the Dems rolled out the red carpet for Trump, but whatever.
I guess we will just keep playing this crazy death-cult game until AI is the only thing left.
Cool.
Republicans are End Timers now.
The German Nazis had a lot of mystical crap going on too. This is opus D and this is Dominionism and seven mountains and Alexander Dugin and global master race dictatorship— Hitler dreamed big.
Indeed.
If one examines the recurrent themes in MAGA messaging on social media and in the RW media environment, the common message is anger & hate with the desire to cause suffering by THOSE OTHERS who are to blame!
What THOSE OTHERS have done to them is not entirely clear.
The parties are not the same on the surface. But at their cores they are the same shit people working for themselves and hurting the people. Dems just put on a nice face to make us believe they are different. Either way, both parties suck and are evil, one is just less blatantly evil
Those are all leftist values that the democrats only hold slightly. Are they better than the republicans? Undoubtedly. But we need a party that truly holds those values and is actually left instead of being on the left side of the right.
Youth was confusing, convinced there was an integrity I lacked,unable to say other's decisions were wrong.They seemed so sure of "God's word." I had questions. The fight isn't abt believing,it's abt abiding or twisting that info.Some abide w/o believing;some believe & use it for personal gain.->
The parties are not the same, but they are both controlled by big business and other special interest groups like AIPAC. The Democrats have failed the American people by, amongst other things, not protecting the Palestinians and not giving in to their corporate donors.
We're all sinners and there's nothing we can do about it so just bring on a self-fulfilled end times prophecy, create an existential crisis of our own making to FORCE everyone to "come to Jesus" or burn in hell. Hallelujah!
They are the I need someone beneath me to feel whole crowd. I have heard "but but I'm one of the good ones, not me" so many times. Why are you okay with anyone suffering? How awful of a person are you? Dead inside.
Some are even fooled into thinking there’s a complex master plan afoot here that we just aren’t seeing yet.
The baffling and disastrous collage we’re seeing of lies, misinformation, non sequitur distractions, contempt, economic nationalism and sabotage… all products of a diseased mind.
HEY REPUBLICANS! WOKE UP AND SMELL THE DEMOCRACY & the robust fragrance of the RULE OF LAW. Your Party will go down in history as the perp that tried to destroy the "Great Experiment" of the American Republic. When we take it all back very soon, you will be in the minority forever.
And it’s no way to parties could be the same at least the other party, which would at least keep the federal employees on their jobs but the Republicans don’t give a shit
Btw, any idea why MAGATs - apart from naked greed - so despise and disdain nature, the environment, non-human species etc, etc?
Is it connected with the Old Testament ‘God gave humans dominion over the Earth’ bullshit?
Your premise is correct- all the election forensic people looking at numbers now blame massive purges of Dem voters in GOP states (over 3 million). It’s also important to bear this in mind so WE DO NOT BLAME each other for this dire moment we are in.
I think she won. The fix had started being put in place since 2020. I'm ticked off that no democrats including her didn't call for a recount in all swing states
It was simple to see too when you looked how people voted for things like support for abortion and then voted for trump. I’m an analyst and felt the numbers never lined up. But I think the Democrats provided themselves on a peaceful transfer of power.
I understand that, but you see where we are now. I'm afraid we are at a point of no return. The republicans have the control, and no one to stop them. I will stay optimistic.
So if you believe the election was stolen, and you're correct I have a SHITLOAD of evidence on my page, then the next obvious realization is that the Dems knew too, I also have plenty evidence of that, and didn't do shit about it. Tell me how that makes them the good guys, cause I don't get it.
Hey, I agree. I am so pissed that they didn't contest not one state. I'm not saying they are the good guys, but compared to trump and what they are doing to the country, they are great. There's an all-out attempt to overthrow the government & I'm afraid they may very well succeed this time
Why? Because Harris was a great candidate and trump is a rapey felonious conman? I think it's just hard for us to accept that a plurality of our fellow citizens are total dumbasses or racist/xenophobic/misogynist to the core. Or all of the above.
Or how about the fact that they literally admitted to tampering with the votes in Pennsylvania, thousands of mail in ballots disappeared, dozens of bomb threats in blue majority polling places, or the odds of all 7 swing states going to the same candidate by the same margin are impossible?
One party says Russia started the Ukrainian war. The other party says it was Ukraine. Both parties are telling different lies, for different reasons, but is that more significant than them both peddling lies?
Note, the Ukrainian war started with the American sponsored overthrow of the last democratically elected government a united peaceful Ukraine had. America also sponsored the trashing of 3 peace treaties, including the one turned into a UNSC resolution. Surely that makes the US responsibile 4 the war
the parties are not the same, but at this point the democrats are entirely complicit in whatever horrors the republicans unfurl. The time to step up was the last three elections at the LEAST, and they're reaping what they've sowed. I don't expect them to step up in my lifetime.
How are they complicit when they have given America 4 good candidates in succession? Is it their fault that only the women candidates were unsuccessful against Trump?
We've had repeated foreign interference/GOP cheating in our elections. Here's a thought: we need to go back to having inaugurations in March, not January, to have enough time to determine the REAL election outcome. SCOTUS rushed it in 2000, even though Gore WON, and it's been downhill ever since.
Bernie had amazing popularity across both party lines and had an astounding popularity in rural red states but Hillary wanted her time in the spotlight so he, and the American people, got screwed. If they're smart they'll let him run in 2028, but I doubt it.
But we didn't have a perfect candidate, so they decided not to vote or vote for someone who wasn't going to win. They wanted to send a message. I guess the message was that they're dumb fucks and don't have critical thinking skills.
No, but they are both the left (Democrats) and right (GOP) hands of the beast of a bad, amoral, insane system based on perverted values and zero virtue. https://trueman-triola.stories.email/
Democrats try their best to be good samaritans. Republicans are just bat shit evil. Hate is written all over their countenance. Who would ever want to be a part of the Trump/MAGA/Republican cult. Democrats want to get to Heaven. Seems like Republicans want to keep warm in hell.
And when the Democrats start cleaning up after the mess made by the two babies, people will be screaming they aren’t doing it fast enough. Ignorance is dangerous.
They don't fix the core problems like money in politics cause that helps them, too, but they bandaid the economy and do just enough social good to bring some people back out of poverty.
It takes a fuck ton more work, resources and time to build and repair than to break. When you have to spend two thirds of an administration just trying to sort through damage and do triage it doesn't leave much time to make things better, especially when you are fighting uphill with Congress.
This is true, but then you also have the democrats that fight real progress. We could have had a voting rights act during the first few years of Biden's presidency, but democrats wouldn't do it.
Agree…lobbyists and money in Congress is a huge problem on both sides…too much extra garbage in bills too. Wish a bill could only be a bill on the key issue without all the pork.
One party is ruthless at pursuing power, the other had control of the White House, House, and Senate and failed to hold the leader of an armed insurrection accountable.
Armed? Yes, there were guns + the Oath Keepers who had an arsenal at the ready are all now free to do it again.
The teaching left by this situation is: Misinformation should be publicly challenge. People are misinformed and brainwashed by fake news from mass media, social media, and videos send by WhatsApp & email.
Bipolar opposite plans. I once had an argument with a devout “Christian” about healthcare. Couldn’t understand why she didn’t want poor people and those without workforce insurance to have health care. She just smiled … uh huh, that said everything.
Imagine, right about now we could have had Harris adding dental/vision/home care to all our insurance. But no, stupid fuckwads stayed home, squealing things like “but Palestine”…well how you like how things are going in Palestine now? I’m more mad at these people than MAGA.
Biden did not want the treasonous leaders brought to justice or expelled, ALL of Congress agreed. So, for 4 yrs traitor leaders plotted & now traitors hold ALL 3 branches of power. So, spare me the parties are not the same; both walked USA's powers into the hands of fascist leaders. Both are corrupt
What signs showed you Biden wanted to prosecute? Did Biden ever say that leaders who attempted the coup MUST be prosocuted & Congress must expel them to save democracy? NO, he never said anything like that; he basically refused to speak about coup attempt & hired Garland, who didn't prosecute.
What a hateful reply. I don't understand what Russian warship means, but you don't care about me understanding. You just want to spew hate & rage at someone because you don't agree with an opinion, I guess. No need to reply.
It's from the early days of the current Russian campaign to take Ukraine. Two Russian ships were attacking a small Ukrainian island, Snake Island, and that quote was the Ukranian defenders final transmission.
Well, the messaging failed. The counter messaging prevailed. We let MAGA tell America what we wanted (abortion free-for-alls, migrant invasions, and trannies in every bathroom). We suck at pushback. We suck at counterpunching.
Mate, it wasn't the messaging, it was the fact that magamorons have fox on 24/7 and that is all they get. There is no helping them. We tried, let them suffer.
It's more that the right has no fucking scruples. NOTHING is "too low". Nothing is TOO dirty a trick. And that's because the left wants better for all, and the GQP wants better FOR THEM ALONE, while also wanting the HUMANS of the left to be ELIMINATED, period.
What "messaging" would 'counter' THAT?
The left is, frankly, terrible at messaging. Even the pithy and totally true slogans are left open-ended and allow the right to rework them into their opposite. Maybe it’s a fear of alienating anybody, ever, in any way that neuters it, but it’s consistently disappointing.
Oh man, I loved kamala but if she l said playbook one more time. Alright, it wasn't about just that. They kept saying, "when we are in office, we will..." shite, you are in office. Do that shite now
I agree with you, I think the messaging takes longer to sink in though and maybe we still will benefit from it in time. Their messaging was lie after lie, and intimidation and bribery. Those forms of brute force tactics work faster, but alienate them even faster. Their infighting has only just begun
When we use the term “messaging” we’re talking about propaganda. I’m not sure how this gets solved in an environment in which it’s so much easier to spread propaganda than to correct it and the right wing media is so much more powerful than the left wing.
This white woman understood the messaging too. If anyone didn't see what was happening they must live under a rock. Now they want to blame everyone else.
We would be better off making outlandish ideas like saying trump is the antichrist everywhere. These people are so enthralled in religion that it's bound to scare some of them straight
I agree but their goal is to "flood the zone". They make up so many outlandish things so often that it's hard to fight back or disprove nearly any of their talking points. "It's easier to fool someone than it is to convince them that they were fooled" - Mark Twain
Greed, aka power lust, vs. giving back. It's that simple.
The problem with wanting to give back in the face of a mad power grab is our kindness increasingly makes us suckers, stepped on as the GOP further ascends the ladder toward total control, and we fall too many rungs down to climb back up.
Pelosi's decades of greed differentiates her from the GOP? Chomsky rightly said the US has "two business parties" they just differ by degree. US needs a 3rd force in political life. Those of Federal/State agencies who are untouchable by GOP/Dem. Independent, solely focused on the national interest
I talked to a trump voter last night. He kept repeating, "Well, trump said ...." When I pointed out the people getting hurt, like farmers, he shrugged it off because ... he wasn't a farmer. I'll never stop wishing all trump voters feel the pain of this administration.
I heard a good analogy. Think of a man who hates his wife's couch but she won't get rid of it. So a criminal takes a blow torch to the house. His house is destroyed around him while he gleefully watches the couch burn celebrating his win.
It doesn't matter to them that he was caught lying 30,573 times in his first term. They will still believe everything he says.
By voting for him, they have shown that they have no morals, ethics or empathy and I have zero use for any of them. I have detached myself from all of them.
It really does seem like one party is good, and the other is evil. The fucked up part is that voters on both sides are convinced that the other side is the evil one!
Are there still any decent (Ärsche) asses out there?
You wanted an Arschloch (asshole), you voted for an Arschloch (asshole), you got an Arschloch (asshole), and now you're complaining that you have an Arschloch (asshole) who shits on you every day!
The Republican party in its current form needs to be completely dismantled. Hopefully someone can get a decent third party in gear with the hope of completely boxing them out.
The Orange Nazi Cult has gone completely crazy. They are becoming as psychotic as their orange felon leader.
Resistance isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

Best comparison I ever heard: Democrats will feed 100 hungry people knowing it’s likely maybe one person is lying; Republicans won’t feed 100 hungry people just in case one is lying about being hungry.
No. She SAID all those things. Then when the nazis rigged our election, she ran off to Hawaii. If any of the things she, or the rest of the Democrats, said were true, they would have actually fought it. They're STILL not talking about it. Just change these captions to Republicans and Democrats.
Because who benefits most from public schools? Inner-city children, poor children, children of immigrants or of color - All the children whose parents could not afford to send them to private schools, so of course they want to get rid of public school.
Well said. May we add school vouchers or "school choice" is code for the taxpayers paying for the rich to send their kids to private school?
As public schools fail as funding goes to vouchers, you can guess who'll be on the hook for higher taxes? It won't be those benefitting from "school choice".
Remember when the Communist party was outlawed in the day? Perhaps that should be the fate of the Republican Party now that they represent our worst adversary. A new political party that are be represented by the likes of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger can be formed.
What I could do with 400 billion. End starvation, pay everyone's mortgages, health care for all. I don't understand these guys or any of the other selfish billionaires, but that sociopathic narcissism is what made them their money
As an ex-GOP before Trump, I was sold on Compassionate Conservativism where migrants were welcomed (Reagan gave amnesty to millions of undocumenteds & GWBush guest worker program). After Obama came into office, GOP changed 1000%. They became racist, cruel, hateful=MAGA. https://www.npr.org/2010/07/04/128303672/a-reagan-legacy-amnesty-for-illegal-immigrants
He was still a racist POS. It was all about cheap labor. Ronald Reagan is the devil. He opened the way for everything that's made American awful. There's also no such thing as a compassionate conservative. There never was and there never will be.
How folks believe that Reagan was this ‘god-like figure’ when he was nothing but a hateful POS?! Then GOP money turn him more EVIL & VILE. He was a B-rated actor, nothing more. GOP use reagan as a figure head/spokesperson puppet.You’re right, he is the father of MAGA, papa MAGAt & stupid son donold.
Reagan was a democrat until 1964, which, by no coincidence, is the year of the Civil Rights Act. And judging from his legacy of deficits, Reagan was neither compassionate or conservative
Reagan and his acolytes lit the match that is consuming the Republic right now. There was nothing compassionate or conservative about Reagan. If they had a Musk back then, they would have let him do the same thing. However, they would have done it quietly behind the curtains. Not a circus.
I learned the hard way. As a young single mom, I was drawn in by the “family values” talk—church and all—too busy to see what was really happening. 2015 changed that. This version is so blatantly evil, yet MAGA is still too sucked in to see it.
My mom has a lot of trouble moving from the middle, because of her upbringing and my dad being a trumper, although he is one of these I didn't vote so don't blame me types. I hate it, she should obviously be a leftwing extremist from what I know about her, but lefties believe in peace so damn much!!
Actually this whole slide towards further enriching the already richest (tax breaks/trickle down BS), digging their heels and obstructionism started with Reagan, went turbo with the Christian nationalism of the Tea Party and switched to overdrive in 2015.
Reagan Republicans ignored AIDS, racialized welfare, went after unions, wrote the first chapter of the trickle down scam, weaponized religion and ended the fairness doctrine. GWB Jr ignored intelligence pre-9/11 and fabricated lies to invade Iraq. Compassionate Conservatism was just another slogan.
I applaud your journey. As a teen in the second Reagan administration, I predicted mass suffering and class divisions as a result of his deregulation to come to a head right about…now.
They were brainwashed into hatred of anything Democrat. I know because the majority in my family including my mother & brothers are MAGAs. And, we're Asian-Americans. When I started talking abt the horrors of Jan 6 right after it happened, my aunt said, "You're a Pelosi!" A Pelosi? They have 1/
been indoctrinated into thinking Democrats are horrible people. For example, after 2015, QAnons spread the word that all Dems are pedophiles, which is projection bcz we know thousands of pedophiles, rapists, groomers are MAGA Christian parishioners & pastors and they cover up for them. But 2/
maybe bcz they are jealous ppl or lonely or both, they have this tendency to fall prey to, then cling to outrageous lies by con artists like Trump, Vance & Musk & at the same time, bcz it's a cult, they are incapable of seeing that these men are cruel, corrupt, lack decency & are evil. Short 3/
catcht praises abt DEI, CRT, wokeness, Haitians eat pets, kids come home a different gender - these unite MAGAs in their hatred for Dems & NeverTrumpers (RINOs). They don't see the good in ppl the same way that some libs don't see any good in Republicans - case in point, I mention Reagan granted 4/
There's been racism here from the beginning of this country's existence. I meant the MAGA precursor's racism became more pronounced and overt upon or after Obama's presidency.
It’s nothing personal. It’s just exasperating to realize that Dems are literally the only hope this country has. And that’s a me problem as much as it is a dem problem. Apologies for the snark.
Part of the problem is the Democrats are (less) but also beholden to corporate interests. They aren't selling large scale societal improvement because that would scare the donors. So when the fascists come along and say we can fix everything with cruelty to the other(s), it resonates.
I’m all out of fucks to give for the type of people that vote for Trump. Rural community washed away?Pop out the champagne. This is Putin‘s greatest victory: getting Americans to hate each other so profoundly that our greatest wish is for our fellow Americans to die or suffer.
Putin had help and that help still comes from internet media influencers that promote division, hate and the dehumanization of those with whom we share a societal interdependence for essential goods and services. If we support rage baiting media, we are helping Putin. Did you agree MSW?
MSW= Meuller She Wrote. Many internet media influencers rage bait us similar to the Russian troll farms that promote us vs them division. We need them to post facts, not divisive spin. We need to see that the right wing farmer who grows our food or RW 1st responders who save us are not our enemies.
The Republicans and their tech allies are our enemies. Not our fellow citizens with which we disagree. This fundamental fact needs to be understood as the opposition starts to get organized.
Nope. If you voted for Trump and until you realize you voted for the enemy you are also the enemy.
MAGA is the enemy. They are traitors to our constitution and our entire way of life.
Nah, some of those citizens are 100% our enemies. If you don't quickly learn to recognize that, it's not going to end well for any of us. Don't think for a second those "fellow citizens you disagree with" wouldn't sell you out to the fascists if they thought it would benefit them.
A friend posted she'd rather be a dead Canadian than American. The comments that followed were all , "soon enough" and "that can be arranged". When a party threatens lives and wishes for war, I don't for a second believe they can be won over with reason.
They've been wishing for the death of Trans, poc, and migrants for years. This is exactly what they've wanted and for some to pretend like they're just good ol' hard working Americans who were confused or misled is naive at best. They're Nazi collaborators and should be treated as such.
Oh trust me, I know. I was on a live conference call with our Nazi congressman yesterday and the callers he allowed to speak were talking about wanting to have a way to report people who support migrants. They're disgusting.
Could not agree more. They wish is dead, without rights (women, LGBT, undocumented). They want to ban books. They want us to not feed children and so much more. They are indeed the enemy, and I'm not going to be friends with the enemy. Taking the high road gets us nowhere.
It is amazing how over the top evil the dude is. It's like he went to evil villain prep school. His voice, his mannerisms, all of his persona is right out of Stan Lee's head
Republican voters are miserable people who desperately need someone to suffer so they can feel superior. They will happily harm themselves so long as those they feel are inferior suffer worse.
We also wanted first time homeowners to get help buying their first home and for people to love who they want to love and for women to make decisions about their own bodies and for insulin to be capped at $35 for seniors on Medicare. Republicans want us to suffer.
Republicans=russian assets. Republicans need to move to communist Russia and live under a dictatorship - there are more of us who want a democracy. Move republicans
1. russia hasnt been communist since the berlin wall fell
2. communism =/= no elections
3. communists helped us win WW2
4. The US collaborated with the Nazis to win the space race
I wasn't cheering. I was stating reality. Hopefully they won't get much farther. But I am a Daoist. And essentially I don't believe in good and bad. (Let the insults ensue!)
When he was elected the first time, I had panic attacks. When RBG passed I collapsed, sobbing on my bathroom floor because I knew what was coming. When he was elected again I was shellshocked and damn near silent for weeks. I'm terrified.

I guess we will just keep playing this crazy death-cult game until AI is the only thing left.
Cool.
The German Nazis had a lot of mystical crap going on too. This is opus D and this is Dominionism and seven mountains and Alexander Dugin and global master race dictatorship— Hitler dreamed big.
If one examines the recurrent themes in MAGA messaging on social media and in the RW media environment, the common message is anger & hate with the desire to cause suffering by THOSE OTHERS who are to blame!
What THOSE OTHERS have done to them is not entirely clear.
The Democratic Party cannot ignore this anymore or brush it off with slogans like “both sides are not the same”.
Come to middle America in the south and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.

Some are even fooled into thinking there’s a complex master plan afoot here that we just aren’t seeing yet.
The baffling and disastrous collage we’re seeing of lies, misinformation, non sequitur distractions, contempt, economic nationalism and sabotage… all products of a diseased mind.
Is it connected with the Old Testament ‘God gave humans dominion over the Earth’ bullshit?

ACAB, period.
Joe Biden only won because Trump was so bad no one wanted him. Then Biden was like “hold my beer.”
Kamala was a good candidate. For the republican nomination. Never saw someone talk so much about guns and god and the Cheneys.
are not comparing apples and oranges…it’s more like apples and gorillas 🦍
There is no comparison🙃

Of course we also told them they had to treat LGBTQ+, POC, and women as actual people and they could not abide that.
The politicians and loud mouth MAGA overshadow that.
Either way, whatever, let’s talk solutions!! Get these fockers in line

I type this before looking at any sub-posts because I'm sure I'll see someone doing it.
They can't help themselves.
Armed? Yes, there were guns + the Oath Keepers who had an arsenal at the ready are all now free to do it again.
Thanks, weak Dems
But they love Russia
And Putin is happy today

What "messaging" would 'counter' THAT?
The problem with wanting to give back in the face of a mad power grab is our kindness increasingly makes us suckers, stepped on as the GOP further ascends the ladder toward total control, and we fall too many rungs down to climb back up.
You can't reason with that mindset.
By voting for him, they have shown that they have no morals, ethics or empathy and I have zero use for any of them. I have detached myself from all of them.
You wanted an Arschloch (asshole), you voted for an Arschloch (asshole), you got an Arschloch (asshole), and now you're complaining that you have an Arschloch (asshole) who shits on you every day!
Are you verarschen (kidding) us???
Resistance isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

Who the hell defunds education when the United States is falling further behind the world?
Checks notes. Oh, wait, GOP from red states who are last in every & highest in crime.
As public schools fail as funding goes to vouchers, you can guess who'll be on the hook for higher taxes? It won't be those benefitting from "school choice".
Clearly I need glasses and learn to reread.

He still created this damn mess by deregulating everything.
He was never a good guy.
Treating others with respect and kindness is now seen as a weakness. I guess I am fine with being weak since I sleep well at night.
Actually, not that well since the new administration took over & thew out the constitution😢
Never forgive them for this
MAGA is the enemy. They are traitors to our constitution and our entire way of life.

2. communism =/= no elections
3. communists helped us win WW2
4. The US collaborated with the Nazis to win the space race
All your assets belong to Putin.
Preferably, in 1984, when he made his first run for the Senate.

(Born same year. Mom started my AOL account, chose a name ending in 69. She didn't know.)
But both parties contributed to the dysfunction that produced Trump.
