Illiberalism Is Not Inevitable If Viktor Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too.

Illiberalism is not Inevitable

There has never been a time when the triple evils that Dr. King fought against—racism, militarism, and poverty—have been more intertwined and on lurid display

Many choosing willful ignorance

This is the state of most Americans

Good

Odd because I know what I would say. I have courage tho

They’ve long looked for an off ramp from Trump this is the one they know they gonna get wiped out and know eventually the Epstein stuff will leak and Trump is scared shitless. They smell fear.

Well let him take that nap with the president he supported

Scam

So we borrowing money with a $37 Trillion deficit to issue $2000 checks

When Reagan took office in 1981, the National Debt was $934 billion. When Reagan left in 1989, it was $2.6 Trillion -- a 270% increase. Reagan spent more than the taxes he raised, boosting the National Debt for eight years, confident it would be handled by other, future Presidents...

🇺🇸💰 The U.S. national debt just hit $38 TRILLION a record high!
📈💸 That’s up $2 trillion since the start of 2025.
⚠️⏰ Fastest jump outside the pandemic era time to talk fiscal responsibility!

Even in countries that chose *not* to impose retaliatory tariffs on US spirits, our spirits exports have plummeted. Exports to UK and Japan declined >23% YoY, while exports to the EU were down 12%.
Canada did retaliate - and US exports there fell 85%.

🇺🇸💸 The U.S. just sent $20B to Argentina 🇦🇷 while China 🇨🇳 hasn’t bought a single U.S. soybean 🌱 since May. Argentina cut tariffs so China buys from THEM instead of US. Our farmers 🚜 are hurting. How is this a “good deal” for America? 🤔 #AmericaFirst #Farmers #Trade

What’s Wrong With Las Vegas?

Las Vegas is slumping. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/t...

"the city is in the midst of a tourism downturn, with an 11 percent decline in visitor volume since last year"

It’s malpractice that they’ve not gone directly at that population who are benefiting most off their policies.

Why do we have so many men amongst us willing to step forward and handle women or anyone like this, even in spite of 10-15 cameras on him? This is deeply troubling.

Excellent.

W. Kamau Bell to Jemele Hill at #TAF25: “It is so gross what Joe Rogan has done, not only to discourse in this country, but just to comedy ... He has made comedy worse again.”

Watch here: http://bit.ly/46a5DUE

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf.

Turning the military on citizens.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

A big objective here is to keep people busy confronting and analyzing obvious nonsense and while they steamroll over whatever they want

For Schumer to not step down right now after watching on the sidelines is frankly insane. He should retire, make up a health thing, whatever. Make way for a fighter.

Agree in principle with your overall point. Ruskin, however, voted to honor Charlie Kirk.

And the people I know who hold themselves out to be Christians who have repeatedly voted for him🤦🏾‍♂️

😕 💵

Putin feels empowered to do whatever he wants. Likely feels like this is the best environment he’ll ever have to expand.
