I'M TIRED OF "LIBERAL" BEING USED AS AN INSULT. LIBERALISM GAVE YOU THE VOTE. LIBERALISM GAVE YOU EQUALITY. LIBERALISM GAVE YOU FREE SPEECH. LIBERALISM GAVE YOU YOUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS. LIBERALISM IS THE ENEMY OF TYRANTS, AND I'LL BE FOREVER PROUD TO DEFEND IT.

First posted sometime in Trump's first term, still perfectly applicable in 2025 and beyond, surely more so...
* Text in this (probably Facebook) post during Trump's first term, still perfectly applicable in 2025 and beyond, surely more so: The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.

"The way a Government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it." — Tony Benn [1925–2014] (British Labour Party politician and political activist)

Ha!
Truth in advertising. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt (a.k.a. "BS Barbie") at a so-called news conference reads from her prepared script. Behind her is the White House placard with only the words "WHITE ... WASHING..." visible.

In a post on Twitter/X on January 31, 2025, Mohamad Safa says... "If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States."

I probably shouldn't laugh, but I did... 😂. Maybe doing things like this will break the spell the "woke"-obsessed are all under.

Nothing wrong at all with being "woke"; it just means you care about others & want a fairer, better, saner world for everyone. Awake & concerned ＞ asleep & heartless.
First-hand account of a guy pranking his "anti-woke" cousin, who makes a great chili, by telling him that beans in chili are "so woke". He told his cousin that "the original conservative Texans who made chili only used meat and chili. But San Francisco liberals started adding beans to chili in the '60s because so many hippies were vegetarian. Now all the woke scientists are saying beans are a better protein source than meat." This caused his obsessed cousin to get really concerned. The next time he made chili, he didn't use any beans. When the guy telling the story here and other family members questioned what happened to the chili, the cousin discovered he had been pranked, got REALLY angry, dumped his chili in the sink, and told everyone to go home. The cousin later checks the internet, discovers the guy here was "lying" about beans in chili being "woke", that he felt he had been "betrayed", and that the guy telling the story here had gone "too far" by making him question his chili, which he had been making and perfecting for some 15 years, with beans. After the whole thing, the guy doing the prank asked his cousin whether it at all made him think maybe he cared too much about "woke". Instead, his cousin ignored that and demanded an apology, still angry. So now the guy telling the story wonders whether he HAD taken it too far.

EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF FASCISM POWERFUL AND CONTINUING NATIONALISM DISDAIN FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IDENTIFICATION OF ENEMIES AS A UNIFYING CAUSE SUPREMACY OF THE MILITARY RAMPANT SEXISM CONTROLLED MASS MEDIA OBSESSION WITH NATIONAL SECURITY RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT INTERTWINED CORPORATE POWER PROTECTED LABOR POWER SUPPRESSED DISDAIN FOR INTELLECTUALS & THE ARTS OBSESSION WITH CRIME & PUNISHMENT RAMPANT CRONYISM & CORRUPTION FRAUDULENT ELECTIONS Laurence W. Britt wrote about the common signs of fascism in April 2003, after researching seven fascist regimes. Those were Adolph Hitler's Nazi Germany, Benito Mussolini's Italy, Francisco Franco's Spain, Antonio de Oliveira Salazar's Portugal, George Papadopoulos's Greece, Augusto Pinochet's Chile, Mohamed Suharto's Indonesia. These signs resonate with the political economic direction of the United States under Bush/Cheney [and more so now under Trump/Musk/Vance]. Get involved reversing this anti-democratic direction while you still can!

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out – because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out – because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak out for me. Pastor Martin Niemöller (January 14, 1892 – March 6, 1984)

I'm not concerned about men transitioning to women. I am concerned about Americans transitioning to Nazis.
