Why just talk about how trump’s deportation plan is “taking shape,” the “impact“ it’s going to have, and the prospect of concentration camps? Simply pointing out the horrors = complicity. WE should be discussing resistance! Do YOU plan to sit idly by? Will YOU keep your mouth shut? RESIST!

On Tyranny (T. Snyder): “Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In [despairing] times like these, individuals…offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” Therefore, we must strive to show what it cannot, and will not, do.

“Harris voters can reflect in good faith…But can’t [t]rump voters also…consider…why they supported…a man who made fun of people with disabilities, considered American military heroes suckers and losers, and rode into office as our nation’s first convicted felon and adjudicated sexual offender…?”

As Trump rolls out his Cabinet nominees, each more terrifying than the last, it’s going to get harder for establishment Democrats to uphold the performative pageantry of the inauguration—and they shouldn’t.

The incoming Trump regime is the America's first pro-Rape Administration. This will embolden the "bros" Trump courted in this campaign to sexually assault women thinking Trump has their back.

Yes, I am a “liberal-democrat.” A ‘democrat’ is an advocate and supporter of democracy. Look it up. Yes, I am a liberal. A ‘liberal’ is a supporter of policies that promote the general welfare, AS WRITTEN in the United States Constitution. Look it up. Fuck fascism!

These inexperienced sycophants are surely on par with Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Edmund Randolph, Henry Knox, etc., all who clearly, in retrospect, have much in common with these conspiracy theorists, sex traffickers, religious zealots, and cultist bootlickers.

Amassing power through authoritarian tactics begets no compromise. Taking back power, then, requires no compromise, in return. There’s no virtue to sit back and say, "Well, at least we held up to our standards," when you’re being crushed by an opposition that doesn’t play by the same rules, anymore.

Comparing trump, who shamelessly seeks to concentrate and wield power with sinister intent, to the first president, who selflessly abdicated power, trended term limits, and forewarned of political parties, is asinine. This sycophantic cult of weirdos and morons knows no bounds ew.com/sylvester-st...
