When I mention Mark Kelly, left wing accounts criticize him for being too moderate.
When I mention having witnessed how people lived like slaves in the Eastern Bloc, silence.
U.S. liberals preferring the chaos of liberty over any utopian system is not "proto-Fascism," it's anti-authoritarianism.

I think we should openly call out Zionism as a nationalist supremacist ideology and resist attempts to silence us with false charges of antisemitism.
Let's also amplify Jewish voices for good because negative voices are dominating the media, and actual antisemitism will be the result.

I don't know anything about this person, so this is not an endorsement of her, but I 100% endorse the message here.
Decent people of whatever or no faith are not the problem.
Fundamentalism is supremacism and Zionism is nationalism.

I am 100% for this guy as president.
He's not the only good candidate, and I would probably disagree with him on quite a bit, but character, character, character, and I think he has the guts to take on the GOP and the system.

Trump’s DOJ tried to charge me with a crime simply for saying something they didn’t like. Think about that. This is after DOD already censured and threatened to demote me.
He wants to make an example out of me and scare Americans from speaking out against him. Don’t let it work.

Language ability is not indicative of intelligence in general. Language has its own circuitry. Someone raised by eloquent parents may sound sophisticated but still be incapable of reason.
This is key to understanding gullibility. Smooth talkers seem credible to uneducated minds.

My guess is that they will say that the teenage girls were part of an alien hybridization program and that our savior Donny has foiled their plot.
And MAGA, of course, will buy it.

I hear people saying Bondi's behavior signals that they think they will never lose power.
No, it does not. It may simply be that she knows she will be pardoned.
We all know that we are in danger of permanent one party rule, but we are NOT going to allow that to happen.

Is minimum wage guy going to drive his $50K EV to work? Will he use non-existent mass transit? How exactly is an economy only for the wealthy going to function?
I was in East Germany and saw a factory with a "dormitory" surrounded by security. You know, for the "workers." Convenient, right?

People demand that Ds step out of the mainstream and do something dramatic, but that’s what the GOP finally decided to do, to just go for it, and how is that working out for them electorally?

What they hate is lack of hierarchy.
What they envision is a system of tiered citizenship with legal impunity for the top tiers and more restrictive laws for the bottom.
They don't want to deport all the low wage workers. They want to allow them to be controllable as slaves.

Talked to an immigrant recently and he told me that in some communities people have been abandoning blue states to, in essence, hide out in red states until the Orangutan in Chief's revenge against blue states ends.
We both agreed that red state people will really love that.

"All men are created equal" has carried so much water for the right for all these years.
Firstly, they also said "We the people" so "men" was a choice.
Secondly, slavery, obviously.
Thirdly, we aren't. We should be equal UNDER THE LAW.

If there's one thing you can say about social media, it's that it has allowed people who are bad at thinking to more easily locate other people who are also bad at thinking and gather into poorly-thinking groups where they think poorly together in a self-reinforcing manner.

I am all for calling anyone from the Americas "American."
The problem is what you call people from the U.S. after that.

As a child I was in Washington D.C. for the bicentennial. My parents thought it would be good for us to learn of the founding and so on. We also stayed in Williamsburg, and to some extent this sparked my interest in history.
200 was a joyful celebration.
250 will be nothing but more looting.

If you are in marketing, look up Bill Hicks' standup routine on the subject.
Also, if the new livery for your massively expensive F1 project is incredibly dull, don't spend a fortune on a single advertisement that relies on visuals of the car to convey some sort of sense of excitement.

If you are complaining about anti-semitism in the old "paint them with a broad brush" way, I get it. Speak softly and carry a big stick, right?
But no one is buying it now. You can either address the complexities of the issues or you will be ignored by thinking people, just like MAGA is now.

People who claim liberalism is proto-fascism support systems that would limit personal freedoms in order to have community over competition, which is indeed a fine goal, but they never seem to accept that the heads of such governments are inevitably ultra narcissists like Trump: Mao, Stalin, et al.

A huge story that I see nowhere:
The role that the corporatization of medical practices plays in destroying patient/doctor trust and in patients withholding information that could be used against them by insurance companies or the government, thus limiting their own care.
