what absolute spineless fucking losers

here’s the problem dipshits: we all know these people are dangerous fascists. by platforming and normalizing them you’re normalizing state-sanctioned hate and destruction. you want to appeal to independents and non-maga conservatives. most people know when you’re full of shit and treating the people

replace empathy with the more stark phrasing of “giving a shit about other people” and you get a wonderful insight into what depraved little losers these people are. one of the few comforts in this hellscape is knowing they’ll never be happy no matter what they do

every single member of the house and senate up for reelection in 2026 needs to be aggressively primaried. either they can adapt to the new landscape and prove under pressure from a challenger that they’ll actually represent and fight for the people, or they’ll expose their spinelessness and lose

the democratic party believes in empty gestures the way most of us believe in the law of gravity

these are moderate republicans lol

america at its core is a profoundly privileged country that managed to imperialize without ever having to face a reckoning for it, won two world wars without its shores facing occupation, then had unparalleled prosperity for decades. this country has never had to actually face an existential crisis

a more conspiratorial version of me would start to suspect that some of the dems are genuinely compromised too, but I think the far more likely reality is that they’re just too pampered and fearful to be evenly mildly controversial on purpose and will take that attitude to our collective grave

oh so we’re going to figuratively, literally, and purposefully kill people to gin up a flimsy pretext for handing over huge swaths of our government to his companies specifically

absolutely bodied lmaooo

are the malign foreign actors in the room with us right now

I want to go back in time to like 2013 and show myself this headline while I was still in undergrad because I think just trying to conceptualize any of this sentence as functioning reality would have made my brain hemorrhage

people get mad that mcconnell is saying these things now that he’s not running for office any longer, suggesting that he’s saving face/doesn’t believe it. I think it’s more simple than that: his naked ambition of gaining power for power’s sake was always more important than what he actually believes

sniveling losers everywhere you look

gee that’s not transparently ominous or anything

these losers have nothing to sell other than to try to get you to hate other people while they rob you blind. the only reason we have a chance is that a lot of people who supported them are going to be personally screwed over to the point the reality becomes apparent to them

I know there’s a whole separate media ecosystem to convince these dolts of an alternate reality, but the sheer volume of trump voters/supporters who define their support on things he has opposed verbatim is truly astonishing

every member of the editorial board that approves of these euphemisms as they whistle past the graveyard of democracy should be fed into a wood chipper

kay cool jake except cnn is just as feckless and complicit in this shit as anyone else, so forgive me if this rings a little hollow coming from you all

reveling in causing misery to other people, overwhelmingly those less fortunate and in need. a bunch of vile excuses for human beings

nothing says fervent nationalist quite like constantly saying your nation is a broken piece of shit. real pride for country there

more of this energy

people who aren’t mortified by the real world consequences of these policies are as depraved as the people who personally carry out the worst of what we’ve seen and will see in the days ahead. they want this. this is the whole point.

it’s not at all hyperbolic to say that we’re going to watch this man personally kill a lot of children and the question is what anyone does about it

“the government is broken, just give us control of it and we’ll prove it”

i mean what metaphor even applies here

The state of things

“as he tests legal and constitutional boundaries” like it’s a tabletop simulation and not a fascist deconstruction of the federal government

if you are an elected official who believes that peaceful protesting will lead the president to declare martial law, that really REINFORCES THE NEED FOR EVERYONE TO BE PROTESTING

that there hasn’t been a universal response from our legislative branch that this is unconscionably out of line and grounds for immediate impeachment is an excellent indicator that we crossed the rubicon on this shit a long time ago and just haven’t realized it yet. buckle up, it only gets worse

they’ll be pardoned if they wore maga hats while they did it

you know what’s going to happen as they forcibly incorporate ai slop into our lives? itll briefly be able to highlight the brazen corruption and illegal shit this administration is doing (see grok admitting as much about musk), then they’ll start breaking the ai because they don’t like what it says

let’s put everything else aside. russia has one aircraft carrier that has been in drydock because it keeps catching on fire. their flagship was sunk in the first two months of the invasion of ukraine AFTER ukraine had already scuttled its navy. russia is big and stupid and weak and so is its navy.

pitchers and catchers report in a few days and my mercy towards the city of philadelphia is in zero way extended to baseball season. hope the phillies go 0-162

sigh, go birds

It won't happen until middle-class white families feel pain. I'm not talking about $10 eggs or DOGE rifling through Medicare records. More like "none of the gas stations in their neighborhood have gas". The pain will be a moderate inconvenience they've never experienced before.

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole

if political violence is encouraged by this administration then by golly I say we take them at their word and see what it does

had twitter since 2009 when I was in high school and I jumped ship the week after the election when it became clear that continuing to engage there would make me complicit in funding a bunch of nazis with advertising dollars. still kept the account and lurked until the inauguration salute was enough

the only saving grace of how awful this all has been is that it’s not sustainable. they’ll either run out of gas and turn on each other or they’ll go far enough that this country finally starts to embrace its inner robespierre

who could have predicted this, said everyone who ignored the warnings of exactly this happening

there is no reason for any decorum. every person in every instance where they’re in front of one of these mouthbreathing idiots needs to interrupt them the second they start into obviously made up shit with “cite your sources or shut the fuck up.” there is literally nothing else to say beyond that
