The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

I haven't seen this yet, but want to gently push back on the notion that Devo's success "drowned out" their ideas. As @samadams.bsky.social immediately notes, "The joke became reality, which proved the band’s point about cultural decline."

One of the things I hate most about Trump and MAGA is that they are everything wrong with normal bourgeois politics but ramped up to such a frenzied pitch of malicious insanity that they make normal bourgeois politics look sane and sensible and reasonable by comparison.

Remember when Biden competed with Trump about who would fund the police more and said to give leftover COVID relief to them? Those are the same police who are assaulting people for protesting and defending Tesla dealerships right now. Not a good idea to give them more but here we are.

The energy got coopted by the Democratic Party and funneled into elections. Then the Biden presidency extended several Trump policies while moving liberal constituents to the right on issues like police funding, immigration, and foreign policy. Yes, let's never do that again!

Everyone needs to have an outlook that doesn’t expect free and fair elections under fascism. For one, the USA has been overrun with discriminatory elections and voter suppression forever. Also, fascists don't need to have elections anymore at all! They can decide that's no longer an option.

One day we are going to teach Samoans how to kick and the USA will win like six World Cups in a row, much to the lament of the rest of the World.

disrespectful that people are spreading this image around of the president looking at his own penis while urinating
