Libertine reactionary degeneracy; that's what it is. These people are hedonists revelling in their own cruelty. The flagrant violation of moral principles exhilarates them. Their existence is incompatible with civilisation. Let all woke individuals of firm conviction recognise what must be done.

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

Publicly abandoning American and Ukranian democracy on the same day.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

MORE: Western intelligence assessments suggest that Putin has not changed his theory of victory in Ukraine and still believes that Russia's military superiority is such that Russia can outlast the West and Ukraine on the battlefield. (1/4) isw.pub/UkrWar021825

Look I expect cruelty from this administration—but who exactly is the intended audience for this? People who skinned cats as children?

What's going to happen in fairly short order is they're going to announce a US-Russia "deal" that gives Putin essentially all of his demands, and when Ukraine doesn't accept it, they'll cut off all aid, which is the only real goal of the exercise.

The greatest lesson of the past decade for me is just how cheaply people will sell off their oaths, their ideals, their country. It is utterly depressing.

Americans Don't Have Main Character Syndrome Challenge. Difficulty level: impossible

Americans do not understand the incredible crisis consuming all components of their government at once. Thousands of jobs lost, projects on hold, desks unmanned, services stopped, basic safety neglected. Total chaos. Stuff is going to start breaking down, maybe catastrophically.

This is a concerning milestone. Bringing new investigations and prosecutions is different than just dismissing cases against allies.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

This is wrong, this is not what the Republican Party is doing. They aren’t trying to accomplish specific things at all. Trump could decide tomorrow that actually tariffs are bad and we’re going to not do the wall after all and the party would change its position. It’s a personalist party.

Zelenskyy is an interesting character in that he’s got the same rough origin story as Trump (celebrity uses outsider status and knowledge of how to be a showman to take over) but unlike Trump, he is worthy of being considered a real human being.

I think many of the scholars on authoritarianism believing the US would be a competitive autocracy like Hungary are wrong. Had DeSantis been elected, that would've been the case. This moment has much more of the makings of a downward spiral into totalitarianism.

we are in this position because too many Americans refuse to believe things can get worse and accordingly view politics entirely as a source of entertainment/memes rather than the very backbone of civilized society

Too many have the idea "I'm a dictator now" comes with a formal proclamation, an Oval Office speech, signing some enabling act, issuing an official order. A suitably dramatic cinematic moment. Meanwhile, their openly avowed rebellion against the Constitution is actually being declared like this.

Dishonor

Two possible reactions: 1) Continue on the trajectory that got us here in the first place by discarding this as “just Trump being Trump” 2) Grapple in earnest with the fact that Trump asserts dictatorial power as the providential leader tasked with saving the nation. This is acutely dangerous.

I know folks hate seeing content from the other site, but the escalation implied in this tweet exchange is so severe that it needs to be acknowledged. Take the advice of so many other great folks dedicated to antifascist work with a wealth of experience of historical knowledge; you need to prepare.

They are saying, openly & publicly, in clear words, that they don’t think any law can or should stop them - that they don’t intend to respect any limitations on their power. Can’t overstate the problem before us. “It can’t happen here” is never correct. Stuff like this requires vehement opposition.

Trumps comment simply drives home his alienness. Standing against his degeneracy is standing with America. We don’t have masters. We don’t bow to tyrants. Americas civic tradition is complex, democratic, libertarian, raucous, conflicted. It abhors tyrants.
