Remind us again why the Democrats are to blame?

They are Social Darwinists.
They loathe governance that works for and by the people.
They want total control.
They replace public benefits and shared norms with personal greed and hate.
They turn policing by consent into privatized mercenary enforcement.
They demand compliance for you to survive.

Loyalty for those who work together is a virtue and cooperation benefits all.

Loyalty for those who work under Trumpists is Social Darwinism and subservience benefits the few.

Blaming pro-democracy leftists rather than an individual assassin speaks to primal power when belonging to a group. As no other alternative is believed to be viable, the group strikes out in defense against all perceived attacks, real or not. Neither reason, logic nor truth will apply.

The standing "O" by Canada's parliament given to a foreign fascist is beyond shameful and disgusting.
He represented the opposite of Canadian beliefs, values and morality
He touted the 51st state annexation of OUR nation
He wanted to cancel OUR cultural freedoms.

Hate speech is Not Free speech.

Hey Maga
Should not the goal in life be to live together, not to win divided.
Your pov is harming fellow humans. True freedom is not the anti-democratic illusions manipulated by an extraordinary wealthy tiny elite who only benefit themselves. Normalize tolerance, not shows of force.

Sean Feuchts, a Trumpist spearhead, used the ff anti-tolerance play in Abbotsford, BC. But rightfully, he had to use private land.
Our successful, multicultural, inclusive society works precisely because Canadians appreciate everyone's right to their own cultural values and religious freedoms.

Alberta has accepted a new conservative leadership on the national stage not seen before. Previously, their tent included centralists/small business.
Now, PP and his Cons turn to radical anti-democratic support and separatists to gain national power. They use the Fascist Trumpist playbook.

WATCH: “Are you f*cking out of your mind?”

@marcmaron won’t let @howiemandel downplay the impact comedians like Joe Rogan have had on stripping rights from trans people, immigrants, etc. with “hack” bullying jokes that helped pave the way for Trump & the radical right takeover.

It is time that Democrats not only match what Republicans are doing with gerrymandering, but exceed it. Every Democratic controlled state needs to be looking to redrawing their maps -- not to gain 5 seats like in TX, but cumulatively 15, 20 or 30 seats. We must use every tool available.

The so-called debate is wrongly framed as a liberal repression of religious freedoms. It is the opposite.

Canadian society has a long established history of church/ state separation. It is maga bigots like the ff Sean Feucht who manufacture grievance by attacking our tolerant political coexistance.

As I have warned repeatedly, once the populist far right gains power, they will consolidate their position by weakening sources of fact and public information while strengthening sources that spread preferred populist disinformation and propaganda.

Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis.

Millions depend on the NPR Network. Now, we’re counting on you.
