I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

This is why I say the country is already in a civil war - the GOP already treats the other political side as the enemy. You cannot have a normal political environment with this level of demonization. And it is *drastically* one-sided against the left.

The problem with stopping escalatory violence is that it requires political factions to see the other side as not an enemy. You can't only find violence targeted at yourself as abhorrent. Which is difficult to square with months of cheerleading for deploying the military to Democratic-run cities.

White folks who are still clinging to narrow, outdated thinking; you are fossils in today’s political climate. In a world that’s becoming more Black, more Brown, more multicultural by the hour, your way of thinking is dead and buried, even if you don’t realize it yet. 👇🏾

Not a firing synapse in sight, not a cognitive thought. Not a twinkling of intelligence behind those barely opened eyes! Vapid, vacant, mindless drivel attempting to form phrases despite lacking a single directive from the emptiness that is the cranium from which they sprang!

ATTENTION WORLD LEADERS: You are under no obligation to accept an invitation to the White House. You are not at his beck and call. By now, he only wants to see you if he feels like crapping on you. If he wants to meet you, he can come to you. Thank you for your attention to this matter

This is a very good point that I haven't seen made yet. It's not just Trump that is undermining trust in the US. It is also the inability of US institutions to stop him. And even if you make that "inability to stop him so far," it's already too far to maintain trust.

Charles Cavendish@ccavendish.eurosky.social

From what I'm seeing in Europe, the real game changer here isn't really the Trump admin itself, but how quickly American elites - political, corporate, institutional and academic - just failed to respond and resist in any meaningful way. US prestige culture, as seen from abroad, just evaporated.

You are up to date.
