At least we now know who’s really calling the shots.

If Kash Patel is confirmed, the FBI will be weaponized as a tool for suppressing dissent.

Dems are better for the working class than republicans. You’ll get no pushback from me there. I’m a democrat.
What I’m talking about is optics and the erosion of trust among progressives in crony capitalism, which most democratic politicians are complicit in as well.

Are you a bot? Take another look at the graph.

Dems controlled both the house and the senate, and worked with the Bush administration to pass TARP in a form that didn’t hold any of the worst offenders like Fuld, Cassano, or Mozilo accountable.
It’s not a pet peeve. It’s a theory that matches the timeline.

Never.

It’s a complex, overdetermined phenomenon, but it can at least partially be explained by strategic democrat party missteps, starting with the bailout of the big banks after the 2008 financial crisis
That was the moment when the democrats ceded their reputation as the party of the working class.

“She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way.”
Says the guy bent on pressing his ungracious brand of politics into every phase of public life.

He knows that none of his supporters will hold him accountable.

If you dare to speak out against Trump, he will do everything in his power to endanger your life, and his supporters will cheer it on. They are perfectly okay with political violence. They are unbound.
This is American fascism. And we must FIGHT with every fiber of our beings to defeat it.

What can politicians and engaged citizens do to prevent Schedule F from succeeding?
If the Civil Service is purged and restaffed with Trump loyalists, we’ll be in an even more dire crisis for the continuity of American democracy.

MAGA (through Robbie Starbuck) weaponized their wallets by boycotting “woke” companies.
We, the resistance, need to weaponize not only our wallets, but also our time and attention (the most valuable resources for the tech platforms) in order to check the power of the oligarchy.

I don’t disagree.
But don’t use the term “you”. Many Americans were aware of this threat and did everything we could to avoid this outcome…
And even though we failed, we’re nowhere near ready to stop fighting.

Never before in our nation’s history have the American people voluntarily elected to relinquish their freedoms, their wealth, and their future out of pure spite.
Social media algorithms and anti-woke rage-bait broke democracy.

Unrealistic as it may be, given the political reality of the GOP’s abject submission to Trumpism - Every single state in the union should be resisting this blatantly unconstitutional abuse of power.

Without a doubt. Which is why we can’t afford to let him succeed.

Seeking to unilaterally override the constitution on day 1. This tells you all you need to know about the MAGA movement’s respect for the foundations of American democracy.
Not to mention it’s an incoherent proposal on its face. If birthright doesn’t guarantee citizenship, then what exactly does?

It’s the quiet moves like these that need to be monitored with incredible scrutiny. If any harm comes to John Bolton, we’ll all know who is responsible.
The safety of political dissidents is what differentiates a free society from a totalitarian one. If we lose that, we’re no different from Russia.

Those pardons were the most unforgivable sin in a full day of disgrace.
Political violence will not merely be tolerated under this regime. It will be actively encouraged.

When Trump’s authoritarian ambitions run up against the few democratic guardrails that remain in place… He will call on his devotees to do his dirty work again.
And this time, they’ll be all the more happy to oblige, knowing he’s willing to use his presidential powers to shield them from the law.

This was perhaps the most shameful moment in the most shameful day in American history. It’s an overt signal that political violence will be rewarded, so long as it’s carried out against Trump’s opponents.
We’ve seen this before - Hitler’s SS, Mussolini’s Squadristi, Mao’s Red Guard.
