I don’t think an American has any business making fun of Italians ever again. Because ultimately Italians did what they had to with THEIR dipshit fascist dictator. Here we keep freely electing the bastard, letting him take us further down the road to tyranny, and wring our hands over it.

Weak shit. Sorry, we have no business having any pride here. This is a damn embarrassment.

Trump is pushing at the edges, seeing what he can get away with. It’s not some complex plan, it’s the instinct of an animal, but we can see where this is going. What would prevent the following scenario—Trump dispatches ICE agents to select polling places, ostensibly to check IDs in search of “illegal immigrants”, and detaining or removing large numbers of voters (in high Dem areas, of course) to ensure Dem turnout drops from fear?

We may have blown our chance with our last free election.

He wants all POC, women, LGBTQ people, homeless people and anyone who isn’t white, straight, and some weirdo brand of Christian back in the closet where he doesn’t have to see us. He doesn’t want us messing up his “Mad Men” worldview, the good old days that only existed for straight white men.

“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,” Kevin Roberts, president of the right-wing Heritage Foundation.

I fear we will be rounded up into interment camps. We are already in a civil war, we just haven't acknowledged it yet. 💔🤦🏽‍♀️💀🐊

I read “It Can’t Happen Here” in 2018, written in 1939 maybe? It’s eerily prescient.

The dirty secret is that many Americans, propagandized and welcoming the bloody shirt that's been waved, enjoy this idea. Because many Americans want to see Black people bleeding. This is why there are those 'blue line' flags.

Curiously a lot of people have also ignored that the pricktator was given a really fakakta "official immunity" that is enshrined by Taney Court 2.0, and that's a really huge permission slip. Even bigger than the permission slip you get as the representative of the unreconstructed.

Because we all know this wouldn't be happening with Biden. Biden wouldn't be trying to deploy military to torture cities controlled by Republicans. This kind of war is always enshrined in America because it attacks those who didn't get their enfranchisement in the Bill of Rights.

"No, this isn't a 'distraction.'"

It's a rehearsal for the upcoming elections.

Taking over cities he doesn't like IS part of TACO's agenda. It's also a distraction from the other parts of his agenda that are very unpopular and are tanking the economy. And everything he does is a distraction from Epstein. Both can be true - whatever TACO does is a distraction, but also what he really wants to do. He's flooding us with shit, and hoping that we will give up on fighting him. You are right - this is a war.

It won’t work anywhere outside DC, and it isn’t even really working in DC. It’s a made-for-TV spectacle that will soon flop.
