I’m old and remember pretty far back. I’ve always noticed that the predominant mood of the right wing is paranoia.
I’m convinced that Trump is preparing the ground for an eventual breakup of the United States.

The US is in the early stages of a cultural revolution in the Maoist mold. Remember how that turned out?

Yes, but next comes and even more dangerous sociopath JD Vance - back by Peter Thiel an individual who has clearly said he does not believe in democracy.

Or are we taking the “one sociopath at a time “approach to saving democracy ?

Leak the Epstein files from multiple sources simultaneously. Now.

Look at the recent hysterics of Miller and Trump. Always afraid because they know they are loathed.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Coast Guard denies it declassified the noose and swastika as hate symbols. Sorry, but where there’s smoke, there’s some rotten Trumpian shit festering in the sun.

Trump not invited to Cheney’s funeral. Is that a slap in the face?

What’s this about MAGA imploding? I’m not convinced.

MAGA is Cracking, But The Broligarchy Continues Grifting

The MAGA Civil War is here with Laura Loomer calling out the GOP for its "Nazi problem," but despite the Epstein scandal & growing unrest, the broligarchy continues making billions & gaining control.

Yes, it is treason.
I can't be the only one who finds this entirely fucked-up and completely unacceptable.

Get him the fuck out of the White House. It's treason and he must be brought to justice.

The Epstein files are about so much more than the disgusting, criminal dealings of one man.

They're about how the rich and powerful are rigging our entire system to give themselves money, cover, and influence.

Buying elections. Warping our economy. Subverting justice.

Enough.

This is absolutely true. I’m tired of the Trump-is-a-piece-of-shit posts. Stay focused on the fuckers in his administration.
What's the point of posting all these "Trump is a criminal, racist, child-rapist piece of shit" memes? We know all of this.

We should be posting about the lack of people willing to bring him to justice. They're the ones prolonging this bullshit.

More barbarity in Texas. What a shithole.
Texas' abortion ban has killed yet another woman. Here's exactly what the anti-abortion response will be:

They’ll claim doctors were legally allowed to “intervene” or “treat” Tierra Walker with "care." They won't say she could have had an abortion because they don’t believe in life-saving abortions

Donald Trump spent months trying to tell Americans his tariffs weren't raising costs and that rising prices aren’t a problem.

Now, his plan to bring down costs is to roll back just a few of the tariffs that he imposed in the first place.

It’s time to repeal ALL of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Mike Johnson is a strong argument against the existence of God, because surely a righteous and merciful deity would strike Johnson with lightning to stop his constant lying.

A periodic reminder that media coverage of "the economy" is almost exclusively from the perspective of the ruling class.

DOJ will release documents so redacted that they will be more or less useless. Unless you want dirt on Bill Clinton.
