Fascists really hate when people laugh at them and make fun of them. They’re the most insecure, weak bunch of people walking around and the American Far Right in particular has 0 threshold for any kind of mocking. Their whole personalities are based off being mad because they are mocked.

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?
Trump thinks anyone protesting must be from another country when the right and will to protest our own government is a foundational American value.

I know it's a cliche and all, but if a member of Biden's cabinet had said, "You think eggs are expensive? Just raise some chickens in your backyard," it would be a week-long story on Fox News.

Featuring a Democratic Party of kinder and gentler billionaires to take on the cruel and heartless billionaires of the Republican Party while driving away all the small donor who powered the Ds to wins in 06, 08, 12, 18, 20 - is not the winning play these Third Way clowns think it is.
Anyway, in a moment when polling shows the public becoming ripshit angry at billionaires, counseling Dems to “move away … from small-dollar donors” — and thus by necessity toward people of wealth — is disqualifying strategic malpractice.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely.

Some “moderate” Republicans flipped & ended up supporting this evil budget resolution. They voted to cut Medicaid & services their constituents depend on. The budget fight isn’t over. But if you are represented by any of these people that voted yes.. make sure they hear from you.
Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.
