I will have that on repeat to help me sleep tonight.

It won't take more than a few years for Trump to fall (#1 because his base is turning on him and #2 because he's probably gonna die) but we're gonna have decades of work ahead of us in undoing the normalization of fascism in this country.

I have so much hope though. And I'm glad you do too.

So sorry. We're working on it.

These things take time. It may not look like it, but the resistance is actually growing remarkably fast.

Only unrealistic part is that the ICE agent actually looks like he could pass a physical.

If nothing else, it'll turn a decent number of the already crumbling MAGA base against him. And without his base, it will become significantly harder to hold onto power.

Oh my goodness. He's darling!

Isn't the military fairly diverse in terms of ideology? I might be wrong idk

It's not stupidity either. Everyone is vulnerable to coercive control and groupthink.

Okay I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT TO MINIMIZE THE BIGOTRY but I think some MAGAts genuinely thought he would be a populist for some reason. A lot of Americans don't follow politics very closely. They vote on vibes and get stuck in media bubbles that protect Dear Leader.

Anyone remember that meeting with five African leaders where he asked the president of Liberia where he learned English?

No research. No respect.

Did she consider that maybe we just don't like genocide?

As a zoomer, it's a little insulting, frankly. Yes, everyone knows the internet and social media have had weird effects on our maturation, but they might've actually boosted our media literacy.

I also think having the world at our fingertips makes it harder to ignore faraway human suffering.

You did so good, Aftyn! I know you'll continue to organize and be a valuable voice in the fight against fascism. Thank you for giving us hope. Tonight, might not have been the victory we wanted, but it's a sign that there are more victories in sight. Now go get some rest.

She's been so amazing. I'm in disbelief that she got this close.
