Trump ordered the United Auto Workers to fire their president. That will certainly endear him to working people. In authoritarian and fascist countries the party in power does replace genuine trade unions with their own so called unions whose role is to force compliance.
I honestly don’t think the country is stupid. I think we are malnourished, poorly educated, and financially desperate, and that is perfect for a feudal state of corporations owned billionaire feudal lords.
500 years from now, when they write “The Rise And Fall of the American Empirr” in a luxurious 12-volume set, when do you think they’ll say democracy in the United States ended, like what year or decade? Will it be when JFK was murdered? Will it be when Trump won in 2016? Somewhere in between? Nixon? Reagan? Maybe W getting the nod from the Supreme Court in 2000?
Elon Musk shared AI generated video of Trump murdering Biden and called it best video ever. Your serene pensive unifying Trump.
There are problem people of all ideologies. Finding someone who is a problem isn't surprising. The thing is MAGA is based largely on animus, violence, force, revenge, attacking. It's opponents are not. However, when your leader is telling people to punch, fight, insinuating they should shoot the other side's candidate, it's to be expected that some people will respond in kind. In other words, you can't take the conduct down a violent path and then cry foul when people defend themselves with violence in return. Stop the intellectual dishonesty and projection.
Freeway overpasses are the best place for respectful, reasoned conversations. That's why MAGA folks are so attracted to them. barfo
Last night the new serene pensive unity Trump ridiculed Biden and said Nancy Pelosi, whom he called crazy, dumped him "like a dog". Dogs are of course notoriously loyal. And I LOVE Carl Sagan. Love love love. I think I'm high. And I haven't been drinking. Not even a chocolate.
A lot of red flags Pardoning Nixon. Not about vengeance but establishing no one is above the law. Even a president. Ford could have pardoned him after a trial, he has suffered enough blah blah blah, still establish it is not legal just because a president does it. Under Reagan began a huge transfer of wealth upward which has continued to this day. In good times when the middle rises top rises more and in bad times top rises most. You can have democracy or you can have a tiny number of billionaires. The notion that really got going in the 1990s with talk radio and people like Gingrich, amplified with rise of internet, that one's opponent is not just someone with a different viewpoint but a deadly enemy to be destroyed. Clinton is not Nixon but known to sail near the wind but was held accountable for stupidity. Citizens United put money with no limit in politics. Overuse of filibuster to block everything. Federalist Society and decades long effort of the hard right to take over judiciary, now pretty complete with ruling Trump has absolute immunity (and no mistake, when they said president they meant Trump, this court has regularly overruled Biden). And of course not just Trump himself but absolute capitulation of Republican party with just few exceptions.
