Lol seriously. ‘Sir, take a look at this priceless golden Sharpie holder, however it can be yours for $5 million!’

Nearly a third, of which ‘illegals’ constitute a fraction of the 100 million goal. The answer is plain to see, esp when considering the reich’s current push to obtain voter data to help populate the central database that is integral to this effort.

My money is on ‘unreliable voter’ as the through line that will connect those that are taken and at the very least harassed and abused by law and/or financial enforcement officers.

I agree with you, and find myself imagining that the items with his name/face on them will be major targets for defacement and destruction, regardless of him being alive or not.

His level of complete derangement is as plain to see as the paint on his face.

It’s such an open look into their way of thinking (and how they want us to think of it too); anyone holding someone on the right accountable to actual law is doing so to weaponize the law against them, due to political ideology and not you know, holding up the law.

Remember, fascists see ethics as such: law protects but does not bind them, and binds but does not protect anyone outside their preferred in-group.

Superb presentation 🤌

I’ve heard this excuse before and countered effectively with drive-through weddings and the national divorce rate.

Combine throttled to non-existent critical thinking skills, normalized and profitable narcissistic and Machiavellian behaviors and a zero-sum based just world perspective and you get these ‘individuals’ lapping up the hollow authoritarianism we are dealing with today.

As you said, they cannot understand why anyone would do anything for someone else unless they benefited directly. It is a transactional mindset due to the traits mentioned above, and it explains why they also can’t tolerate the idea that anyone else should get help to achieve the goals/material items they’ve achieved/obtained themselves. They truly believe that someone else’s gain comes at a cost to them. Student loan forgiveness, reproductive rights, and every government funded social program are examples.

It is a mindset trapped in binary thinking with no tolerance, recognition, and acceptance of nuance or context. ‘Facts don’t care about your feelings’ lays it bare.

What do you think their plan for Gaza is all about.

Idk check out Bezo’s Bimbo. Whole lotta tape and bondo there.

Another strike using decade old intel?

Bruh it be broccoli frfr

I’ve often thought about what you suggest, spending a day watching Fox News - to gain more of a wholistic perspective on what this sect of the country is digesting. It’ll be an exercise in restraint and patience for me personally, however there’s this part of me that already knows what their coverage is like and I fear it’ll be a waste of time.

I spent about a month last year completely mired in conservative streams, for the same reason mentioned above. It was fucking awful and toxic, and it was also very informative with respect to how these people view this country. To consider any of their ideology one needs to suspend reality and most if not everything learned about history and government. I’ve never seen or felt so much fear, anger, and hatred as I did during this time. (From them and within myself)

Essentially I feel I went into it backwards, I should have watched Fox News first and then went into the conservative streams (cause and effect). But to see the end result, how this stuff actually effects people, it was an eye opener that left me with little faith and even less trust in the naivety I once held - that these people are victims of manipulation and propaganda and simply need to educate themselves about the world in order to see it for what it is. Never again. This is a choice, and what is unfolding before us is only the beginning.

I hear you, I absolutely do. I wish I had the answer, and I’m tired too.

All I know is that we need to work really hard, and for a really long time.

This is why it’s extremely important for us to keep pressure up on whomever takes over next to dismantle the grip that the executive branch has over the governing body as a whole.

Regardless of party, the next group (particularly the president and exec branch) will not be incentivized to relinquish power even in the name of maintaining the balance originally held unless we the people demand it, and hold them to account.

Exactly. Now they’re deployed to airports, where they’re already causing problems.

Can’t help but think the deployment to airports is a pre-run/recon for the cities they’re going to, in preparation for the midterms.

Nowhere?

He did, you are correct.

This is not true. It is simply louder, but does not endure.

Not surprising. A loser ‘explorer’ whose own country didn’t like him went ahead in their name without full permission to the Caribbean to pillage, plunder, and rape the native people. Not only this but he brought friends to do the same on successive trips. He was told not to go and still went multiple times, claiming land and people in the name of his country who again, soured on him quick.

Pedo and his followers love this guy, of course. Birds of a shit feather.
