When Trump Jr. says “this is what we voted for,” he means it:
Power built on paranoia. Diplomacy replaced with mugshot memes.
He’s not wrong. That’s the problem.
#GrievancePolitics #AuthoritarianCreep #ForeignPolicyFail
This isn’t justice. It’s appeasement.
When the state rewards insurrection but punishes dissent, it’s not confused—it’s choosing sides.
Victimhood has become currency in the fascist economy of grievance.
And Ashli Babbitt just got paid in full.

I don't agree.
Mitch McConnell's constituents aren't plugged in & it shows.
#GrievancePolitics goes back decades. The GOP is constantly looking for scapegoats to divert blame.
Ignorance is not an excuse.
When you've tried everything to get through: funding schools, attempt Progressive taxation..
Trump’s opportunism is clear: whatever gets him applause in the moment becomes his ‘policy.’ His governance is guided by grievance politics, not a coherent worldview. #GrievancePolitics #FlipFlops #NeverTrump
In 2016, Trump claimed to support LGBTQ rights. Today, he’s pushing anti-trans policies. This pivot isn’t about belief; it’s about exploiting cultural anxieties for power. #LGBTQRights #GrievancePolitics
So to recap:
✂️ Labour cut the winter fuel payment
✅ Their Scottish MPs voted for the cut
❌ Their MSPs voted against calls for the cut to be reversed
🛡️ They spent months defending the cut
Now Sarwar wants you to believe they’ll re-instate the payment?
Don’t fall for it
