Republicans: "Democrats believe black people are too dumb to get an id we've intentionally chosen because white people are more likely to have it *and* it costs money." Also Republicans: "Republicans don't know what an 'incumbent' is so we'll have to throw out an election if the Republican loses."
Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

The 1st study shows you the reason MAGA voters love Trump, study 2 shows that they are really good at lying both to themselves and to others about WHY they support Trump Responses to Belief-Conflicting Information: Justification of Support for Donald Trump jspp.psychopen.eu/index.php/js... \3

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." - Frank Wilhoit #trumpism #fascism #dual_state www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
On December 29th, 1170 King Henry II said: 'Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?' and the next day Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was killed. Trump and members of his administration make a habit of that kind of language on a daily basis
No President should ever stoke this kind of division and dehumanize the other half of the country in this way.
Tell me again how this isn't a fascist regime
"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked... Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and US citizens were among those detained for hours."
Something many people do not know is that members of the US military (including the National Guard) don't get paid during government shutdowns unless the Congress passes a separate bill for it. Which it hasn't yet. \1
Will ICE get paid during the shutdown? Will they get the ridiculous perks ($50k sign on bonuses and student loan forgiveness)? Asking out of pure ignorance and potentially excitement.

On Friday the Trump administration deleted a study on showing that far-right domestic terrorism FAR exceeds far-left domestic terrorism. The study is still available via web.archive.org/web/20250911...
If you dig down into the references for the study, you can find this: ccjls.scholasticahq.com/article/2697... 84.4% of fatal incidents and *87%* of fatalities from domestic terrorism over **30 years** are due to the far-right.
You've heard 'cruelty is the point'? It isn't just a talking point. Trump voters LITERALLY find cruelty more enjoyable than being kind to people than other voters. Malevolent vs. benevolent dispositions and conservative political ideology in the Trump era scottbarrykaufman.com/wp-content/u...
