Imagine a Democrat calling for the deportation of a Jewish Republican.
You can’t. It would never happen.
Our political and media elites talk nonstop about antisemitism while totally normalizing and amplifying the worst and most vicious Islamophobia.

How many times did we fucking tell you. You gave up on wearing masks. You let them demonize masks. So they got to write the rules. And the rules are cops “discretion” is that disabled people should be arrested. Because when ableds get to decide who is actually disabled, we lose. Every time.

Democrats Are Acting Too Normal
In her response to Trump’s address, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin failed to capture the hallucinatory nature of our national politics.

There it is: a six-word thesis of democracy. But if you have time for two more, allow me to suggest these for a punchy conclusion that sounds great when it's shouted by a crowd: NO EXCEPTIONS.
NO KINGS
NO SLAVES
NO NAZIS
gets you the three good American wars, in chronological order no less. sounds insane to argue against any of them and yet it is very clear which side you're on

I see the phrase "competitive authoritarianism" thrown around a lot on here and while that may be descriptive of the moment we're in I cannot stress enough that you should never say that phrase to a normal voter and instead just say Trump's trying to be king.

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people.
It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/
