How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

I can understand this mistake in 2016, but we already had a whole term of Trump fuckuppery. How on earth were people still thinking he’s some business genius who’ll make government better in 2024? How?

100% yes. Same if you are a woman. Trump has been prepping everyone for years to use DEI as a scapegoat reason to rid the gov’t of anyone not loyal to him. And his MAGA idiot followers love it.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

There is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some diehard's vote. — David Foster Wallace

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

Your vote in November, for whatever reason you cast it—was loud. And if you regret that vote or if you don't consent to what you are seeing from this man and this Administration, your volume now is necessary too. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-vote...

At the end of his CPAC speech, Steve Bannon exclaimed “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, raised his arm in a brief Nazi salute gesture, brought his arm down, nodded his head at the crowd, and then said, “Amen!”

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.
