F&k people! There is no political game right now! Stop buying into the narratives of the politicos and talking heads. This is mass cruelty and destruction that knows no barriers. While you debate optics and political maneuvering, they put more guns on the street and further undo accountability.

But they are carrying out the agenda exactly as planned: Destroy the US government and all its institutions on the inside while creating mass chaos and violence on the outside. This fight isn’t political.

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

Don’t fall into the trap and do exactly what you accuse them of. Fascism is intentional suicide of the current State. The goal is not to change what exists, but to replace it wholesale through violence. They are not inept or ignorant, they are intentional and staying the course

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

Or it exists as it always has and many are only now realizing there never were two sides politically, only one side openly serving corruption, and another providing cover and dampening potential revolutionary energy. Such Idealistic fools we were in our youth.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

MAGA is the new Nazi in the history books of the future

If you still believe Obama was a net positive for most Americans (and the world), you are just as “pilled” as the other side. Stop sneering and find the potential allies. This is a real moment and after yesterday we are beyond officially politics.

The divide is being driven by tech-elites and fascists, but many are waking up to their mistake and are approachable. The line between most Americans is razor thin.

But when the future does kickstart again, let’s us white guys shut our mouths for awhile and listen to what everyone else has been trying to tell us. And that means all of us. We tend to take too much air out of the room

Oof… yeah, that line is uncrossable now. All the nuance I previously imagined is not there. There is no future and no past, only what is happening in this moment.

Just curious Has anyone read C. Doctorow fiction and thought: “wow, these characters have real depth.” Or even: “wow, these characters are quite likable and not at all the wet dream liberal caricature of a closeted conservative mind!” Ah, to be white and quirky in America.
