Transcript: Trump Press Sec’s Praise of Him Takes Scary, Cultlike Turn
As Karoline Leavitt’s obsequious praise for Trump grows more absurd, a writer on Trumpism decodes what all this says about the “MAGA aesthetic” and how it fuels propaganda for the MAGA masses.

Nice people made the best Nazis. My mother spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves, chose not to focus on politics... They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.

Make no mistake: Trump is serious about trying to throw out the Constitution to stay in power.

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.

Good on Ozzy Man for this video! And for selling his Tesla. I liked his point that people saying that saying Musk's Nazi salute was some "neurodivergent" thing was just throwing neurodivergent people under the bus.
