Make no mistake, this is exactly what political news media will do for the foreseeable future. They, like their GOP allies, think that Rs are the natural rulers of this country & anytime Dems take power it is at best a temporary aberration. Whenever Ds do actual politics they scream bloody murder.
fun fact: two years after Manchin won in West Virginia, a left wing populist ran on this exact platform… and lost to a corporate Republican by 40 points
the conservative white working class doesn’t vote for wealth distribution. they are temporarily embarrassed billionaires who love daddy Trump
The anti-human techno-fascist oligarchs who are racing to create AI superintelligence hate being human. They are genuinely some of the most miserable beings to ever walk this planet.
For our sake, and theirs, we can’t allow them to control our fate.
Musk and Zuck and Thiel and Altman and the rest are some of the unhappiest people to ever live, and they all seem willing to destroy the world in their search for just a moment of contentment. Not great for the rest of us.
You can't even get a single conservative to admit Republicans brought this onto themselves huh? Just a completely intellectually bankrupt movement. Top to bottom from the highest elected official to the random talking head to the rando anon person on social media its all trash.
One big political divide is between people who believe germs cause disease and people who believe Those People cause disease. It was pretty evident right away during the pandemic

not that anyone's surprised but he admit it dot jpeg
Nothing subtle or complicated about what's happening. Did I mention the only refugees we're taking from the entire world are white people from South Africa?
We really need to start kicking puritans out of the furry fandom. Like full throttle aggressively bully them out of our spaces. We don't want you here. Either grow the fuck up or go somewhere else.
It is profoundly disappointing how many big "lefty" voices on bsky are actually deeply reactionary when it comes to weird queer subcultures. Someone who sees a furry and still jumps to "This is a pervert that is hurting The Cause" has fascist tendencies to unlearn. There's no other way to say it.
Worth noting how many organizations like SPLC neutered themselves and the work that they do, trying to avoid this very moment. Especially since Trump won again. But MAGA was always going to come for them. And eventually, we'll all be targets. No matter how much we tried to remain nonpartisan, etc.
The first action any Dem president needs to take is reforming and packing the courts so thoroughly they never try this again for centuries. The conservative legal movement is making a mockery of the constitution and the law.
It really gives the game away. Religious freedom when they want to target LGBTQ people and no religious freedom when they want the state to indoctrinate their preferred religion (evangelical Christianity) on students.
The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.
This is entirely politically motivated to eliminate an organization that has historically fought neo nazis and the KKK. What an absolute disgrace.

The US government is a terrorist organization and must be overthrown so democracy may return one day 🇺🇸
it's important to remember that destroying the ability to tell truth from fiction is pretty much job one for an aspiring facsist dystopia and that's why the "data centers" are so important to them
the only news I want to see about a tech CEO is a fuckin obituary
Not Enough Goons theory proved right yet again
MAGA simply doesn’t have enough True Believers to carry out its agenda in the broad, hegemonic way Trump & his ilk desire. every thing we can do to throw sand in the gears *does* make a difference because it pulls resources from affirmative projects
For those of you who aren't tuned in, this a call for genocide against disabled people.
at this point, fascists and libs look less and less distinct to me and only represent different forms of violence directed towards me, different kinds of threats to my safety
i am so tired
I think you could also call this "class solidarity."
Media, universities, corporations see fascism or antifascism as secondary to protecting the power and reputation of their own industries/sectors/classes.
Sorry to be a broken record on this, but I desperately hope it catches on by 2028:
Nearly everyone responsible for all of this will be pardoned in January 2029. The Court will accept this. Any Dem candidate promising punishment, without committing to court packing, will be lying to all of us.
Be like the coyote who stubbornly refuses to die out no matter how hard they try to exterminate you
X is a critical component of the regime’s communications and information control system.
Pro-democracy forces should boycott X because it’s not a neutral platform—it’s main purpose is spreading regime propaganda and discrediting pro-democracy actors.
Some low-level maga influencer is currently raising money off the fact that a guy punched him after said maga influencer approached the guy and his husband and accused them of planning to molest their infant child bc they were gay. maga is completely degenerate
First: hilarious.
Second: A core belief of Trump-brand conservativsm is there are and never have been difficult problems, only dumb leaders without the strength to be cruel enough to solve them.
It's why they always look so baffled when pushing the "more cruelty" button doesn't seem to work.
I genuinely think that MAGA is sliding fairly quickly into solipsism--they don't believe that it's possible for them to cause real consequences for the military or anyone else, and they view existence as a zero-sum political game which they win by destroying things that code as liberal.
Loving your wife and being a present father is libcoded at this point. The right increasingly valorize men indulging in all their self-destructive, base impulses at all times. It’s the ideology of people in the throes of addiction.
