They figure out who they hate and want to bust. They then reverse engineer one of the insults and screaming memees they have been developing and marketing to the base to apply to the hate de jure and then… pedal to the metal! 🍊💩🤡
HMMM. Trump is on TV saying anyone that is an anti-semite he is coming after you !!!

But, all his buddies are NAZI's

HUH

"ya cant make this shit up" should be on the Statue of Liberty

What you are witnessing is rule by a soulless sociopathic narcissist in whom not a molecule of forbearance could be found. Ziblatt and Levitsky wrote “How Democracies Die” with the express purpose of warning us against that type of person. The Founders used different words but made clear the danger🤷🏻‍♂️

Her papers are questionable so miller will have her deported first.
France is calling for the US to return the Statue of Liberty because the US no longer represents the values that led France to offer the statue.

Remember that Hungary is about as ethnically pure a state as there is in Europe (having been stripped of its empire after choosing the wrong side in 2 world wars.) She is the picture of homogeneity vs the totally diverse USA. Much easier for the brilliant Orbán than for functionally illiterate
🍊💩🤡.
Trump’s moves to curb independent media look familiar to the Hungarian journalist András Pethő: “The MAGA authorities have learned Orbán's lessons well.” theatln.tc/VlZjD1iB
Trump’s Attempts to Muzzle the Press Look Familiar
Much of what the U.S. president has done to curb independent media echoes the Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán’s playbook.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.
I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

“DEI” is the current iteration of Lee Atwaters’ n*gger euphemisms. It is true racism in that it assumes one is inferior if Black.
"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Try finding this in today’s @nytimes.com They don’t want to offend trump and the Rs by reporting on their favorite dictator.
After Belgrade in Serbia, another mega protest in Hungary against the "mini dictatorship" of Viktor Orban. When will America wake up & take to the streets against fascist dictatorial trumpmusk regime ? Are Americans waiting for martial law to take effect ?

trump*s “extraordinary” speech at DOJ was pure Mussolini. That he was not confronted by vocal outrage, both there and on his way back testifies how far down the psychopath we have wandered. Republicans did not object, demonstrating, once again, that they are with the tyrant all the way.
March 16, 2025 at 9:48 PM
@nytimes.com has a buried article on Belgrade protests but nothing I could find today on Budapest. Protecting trump*s and R’s favorite dictator? The @us.theguardian.com has it all comparatively well covered.

🚨 BREAKING: This ad, when tested, moves public opinion as much as 4 points away from Trump & Republicans.

THAT’S HUGE MOVEMENT.

Please share!

Turns out Americans don’t like their health care getting cut so billionaires can get a tax cut.

Fascism does not become apparent to the general public until there is an overt demonstration. DOGE is close, but I think it will take a clearly illegitimate election for cold water to hit the face of the public. Midterms should knock the stuffing out of the Rs, and they know it. Watch for response.
History is a really good teacher.

If we pay attention to her, she reminds us that populations don't become monstrous overnight, that nations don't abandon humanity in a single moment.

Collective sickness usually follows a pattern and we’re seeing it now.
