What kind of people do we want to be? Do we continue a 400-year story of hierarchy, cruelty, and extraction? Or do we finally, painfully, courageously choose another path?
The sadists will not write the future. It will be written by the ones who refuse to become them.

State sponsored sadism

Cruelty and suffering is the point
State sponsored sadism
Republicans support this systematic dehumanization of a regime
They seem to think this is all ok
Or at least acceptable
Same old evil
Narrative

If you feel scared, angry, or like the world is unraveling—you're not broken. You're awake. Fascism wears a smile now. Cruelty is policy. But staying kind, honest, and human is resistance. Keep your soul. That’s how we win.

Fascism isn’t just a political problem—it’s a spiritual one.
It corrodes truth. It rewards bullies. It teaches people to survive by shrinking their souls.

Yes
However, this regime delights in acts of outrageous cruelty -
And that’s the point -

Thanks for sharing! I watched it, and I think it’s so important for all of us to understand the signs and know what to do when they come. By the way, did you catch the NYT article about the three professors leaving the USA? I posted it on my page

🛑 It’s not just Trump.
The Republican Party is the threat.
They backed the coup.
They ban books.
They jail protesters.
They force births.
They pardon murderers.
This is fascism in a suit.
Call it what it is.
Thank you, Senator Warren, for your work and for fighting for the truth.

In 2018, Adam Serwer wrote a viral piece, The Cruelty Is the Point. Trump’s base doesn’t merely tolerate his cruelty—they are bound together by it. When he mocks the disabled, cages children, or mocks sexual assault survivors, it’s not despite those things that they support him, but because of them.

We must stop saying, “Trump is a problem,” and start saying:
“The Republican Party is now a threat to democracy.”
This is not about policy differences.
The truth is simple: Trump would be nothing without them.
And unless we name that truth, boldly and clearly, we will never stop what is coming.
