3·15 days agoYou win. I lose for attempting satire on the internet without using /s
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Are you implying that a nation state doesn’t have an inherent right to exist, regardless of the form and manner in which it operates? Are you antisemitic?
Of course not, that would give the wrong people a win. Maybe they’ll create some bullshit charges like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, maybe they won’t even bother. I mean, they’re trying to jump start WWIII over here, and in two weeks they’ll tank Wall St again. How good is the average American’s attention span?
Maybe it’s time for the Senate to start forming a Grand Army of the Republic?

They’re just implementing their Final Solution to the Palestinian Question.
Court records show the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Canada, to execute a search warrant at Cottle’s residence
Bad Canada. Stop helping those who threaten you.
I mean… It’s not like the signs weren’t there.
I wouldn’t minimize the comparability when there are such blatant examples of Trump utilizing Nazi propaganda like the Big Lie and the demonization of an out-group, like the Nazi’s antisemitic populism, to gain power.
Prior the Reichstag fire, the Nazi’s electoral high point was 37% in 1932 (or 31% of Germans at 82% turnout), compared with Trump at 49.8% last year (or 31.8% of Americans at 64% turnout). The point being that you don’t need a significant buy-in from the people to elevate leaders with dictatorial motives. You simply need a triggering event which they can use to justify their consolidation of power permanently.
Also, if the desire is to avoid authoritarian leadership, I’m not sure military coup is the play. I know the American Armed Forces swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, but it seems that would get real tricky once you’ve overthrown the Commander in Chief, in defiance of the Constitutionally mandated chain of command.
One paved the way for the other.
They didn’t start out with extermination on day one. Before that they failed an attempted coup, stripped Jews of their rights, forced the emigration and deportation of Jews, and had to build up the capacity of the future death camps.
Their point is to recognize the rise of fascist authoritarianism before we’ve reached the holocaust stage.
Reagan with the “brave mujahideen fighters” from Afghanistan at the White House.
America has a history of arming its future enemies. Deeming the cartels to be terrorist organizations will make special ops and drone warfare permissible. The Mexican president knows this move invites more violence on her country, not less.
Fuck this guy. He’s always been party above country, too late to change his tune now. If he’d had any integrity at all, he wouldn’t have voted to acquit Trump while simultaneously saying he was guilty.
Don’t forget clever names for bills that will die in committee.
Time for a new opposition party, ffs.
231·5 months agoJust the latest social group that’s still broadly acceptable to shit on.
There’s not a ton of global census data out there, but in Canada trans and non-binary people make up 0.33% of the population. Which means there’s a lot of people who don’t know anyone who is trans or non-binary. Unfortunately there’s also a lot of people who are unwilling to emphasize, or even sympathize, for those they feel are different or strange to them. It take time and effort to listen to others’ stories and to gain appreciation for their perspective, and it’s an effort many people are uncomfortable making if it feels they are deviating too far from society’s norm. What you’re observing is those in power taking advantage of the same human weakness that’s been used forever to discriminate on whoever the current permissible outgroup to hate is.
How many times have you heard, “I don’t care about anyone being/doing Y, but…”, and then proceed to say some sort of transphobic, homophobic, racist, or sexist shit? When I grew up it was the G in LGBT. When my parents grew up it was African Americans. Women only got the right to vote a century ago, you better believe some of our great granduncles had some shit to say that would make today’s uncles look like saints.
Can we please resurrect FDR, we need a newer deal.
Satire based on Trump’s rhetoric I’m assuming.
