Former Republican who disavowed and left the GOP 15 years ago when it moved too far right, abandoned any principles, and became irredeemably stupid.
Actually, come to think of it, I came here from Twitter for pretty much the same reasons.

Just a reminder that this regime WILL enable Martial Law/ Insurrection Act/ State of Emergency at SOME point down the line as their "justification" to murder people.
Don't let a fear of giving Evil People an "excuse" to do WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ANYWAY stop you from still doing The Right Thing.

Just a reminder for folks who still wonder why this regime's appointees are SO BAD at their jobs:
If someone entirely incompetent, clueless, and openly antagonistic to something is put in charge of it, they are not being put there to RUN that thing, they are being put there to DESTROY that thing.

Apparently this could not be posted over on Google due to it "violating Community Policy" somehow, but this applies equally to pretty much the entire world anymore, so I figured I'd just drop it here.

Hell, we've seen that MAGA would have been actual full collaborators with Great Britain during the American Revolution, and would be donning red coats and shooting at their fellow colonists in a heartbeat.
Imagine if maga influencers were around for the revolution
They'd be condemning people for protesting and not going to work.
The amount of these click baiting, rage baiting, manipulative fucks is incredible.
While they denounce people for being at protests, they lick the boots worn by pure hate

Tell me again, optimists, exactly how is this fascist regime is somehow crumbling by the day, and all we have to do is just "win in the midterms" or some such…?
Shit like this has far, FAR more reaching consequences than a federal judge telling them no in a VERY stern voice again.
We'll need MORE.

This is a tremendous loss for our country and for our democracy. There is no finer news program than @pbsnews.org NewsHour.

Knowing how this fascist regime likes to operate, this feels like it will be used for gaslighting, or just to seed disinformation about upcoming Democratic elections.

"Might makes right" are some bold words coming from Stephen Miller, who seems like the sort of guy who STILL gets beaten up for his lunch money by middle schoolers.
"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.
If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Honestly, for all Trump's rambling over the past year, I had fully expected Greenland to be the Poland to this regime's wanna-be Nazi Reich.
In retrospect, it seems obvious, but I hadn't expected Venezuela to be the first country Trump would break the UN charter with to start off the US Lebensraum.

One would think that Trump, of all people, would not want to normalize the idea of foreign nations making an illegal military strike to kidnap a country's serial criminal leader who had achieved the Presidency by nefarious means and was destroying their own country as its narcissistic dictator.

Yes, absolutely vote in the midterms, but don't vote thinking it will remove them, because we already know they are not going to allow that.
Vote to ensure that their blatant cheating will be so hard to hide that it may help push enough people to do what needs to be done to remove them from power.
