AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026You are so right. That's a good phonetic Southern accent. I could hear it. 001
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026It is. The wretched, bloodthirsty sickness that thrives on killing was a feature of the Nazi's, too. Makes me wonder if this is a function of upbringing and community norms, or if MAGA has some unique genetic identifier that makes them all unrepentant monsters. 120

Reposted by AmericanSiloThe Mouthy Renegade Writer @mouthyrenegade.bsky.social · 07/01/2026So, I guess we're at the “Just gonna let them kill us” stage of apathy about the domestic terrorists known as ICE. 🙄 5418
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026This had best become commonplace nationwide. Now. 052
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Donald Trump has become the law. He has nothing left to fear but the people. 000
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026YOU ARE SO RIGHT. This whole country is sleepwalking into fear and apathy. 000
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026In a culture breaking down along adversarial lines with even violence an option now on the table, simple common sense will become subjective and a sense of trespass no longer addressable within rule of law. 100
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Yes you are in a better place than we are at the moment. Much of our law-and-order has always relied on community standards, mutual respect, the "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you" and all that. We are in MAGA social anarchy now. None of the old rules apply with no means to enforce them. 010
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026We're at the point now where outspoken Governors will be taken into custody. Walz has to watch his step. Trump and Co. are realizing the people remain standing down, even in murder. Trump is the law now. The people are all he has left to fear. 010
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Yes, Mr. Morison, thanks. Like you we also have carve outs for hate speech going back to the "crying Fire in a crowded theatre" (when there is no fire). Free speech has always had limits here, untrue defamation is another. But the appeal of a government deciding what is true is too Orwellian for me. 110
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Ours is the only generation that remembers milk from farms in metal cans and now has all collected human knowledge in our pockets. And like our parents before us, we rose to the occasion when it was our time to be responsible. Happy Birthday Ms. Pettit. 77 110

AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Iran deserves a reboot. Let's hope the people this time have it in them. 030
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Teri Goodson you know perfectly well I have long advocated surrounding Mar-a-Lago and occupying Washington until it drives the GOP out of town and Donald into hiding. Just one in ten young people and it's done. Young people always forge the future. They are forging it right now by doing nothing. 000
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026You know what I've suggested all along and you know it would be effective, too. You know it does not involve killing anyone. You also know those to do this are dispassionate and too detached from reality to leave their house. But don't pretend that you don't know what will resolve this. You know. 100
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026He's killing people, Teri, middle fingers to your rules, and you think legal process is the response. Good lord. 100
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026I don't think so, Teri. That was 10 months ago. We are way past procedures and rule books now. The mob boss is in session and Donald Trump will do as he pleases. 110
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026A few million more who have the emotional maturity to actually understand where we are and the whole game changes. 🏆 021
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026With respect, we’re allies but your perspective is off, Hope. Many of us lived in NYC near Donald and we’ve endured 40 years of this Roy Cohn stuff. You don’t field cheer-leaders against a NYC mob boss or you end up in a trunk out by the airport. You take him out or you live under his terms. 100
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026We should not want to live in a country where government regulation decides what is true and can be published. The proper response to speech you do not like is more speech you do like. 110
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Well, we DO know. We always know. Donald tells us in advance. His little speech about "we HAVE to win the midterms or they'll impeach me" is our heads up that the fix is already in. Or he would never have mentioned it and given us ideas. lol 010
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 07/01/2026So the GOP can be prosecuted? Of course not. Donald's way out ahead of all that. 010
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Yeah, there it is. He knows the midterms were locked up for GOP wins months ago. The Dems are going to "unexpectedly underperform" and Patel's FBI will find no evidence of malfeasance. Forget the midterms. Buy a small handgun. 010
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Dumping on clear-eyed analysis turns out to be Hope's schtick. 210
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Hi Hope! Accuracy always counts and realistic assessment may seem negative to those who find it emotionally difficult to live in the here and now. Let’s remember this exchange and 10 months from now we’ll all see how effective "elections" are in a locked-down, fear driven autocracy. Fair? Be well. 310
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026It's not weird if you know his history. He was elected to the NYS Assembly while still in his early 20's and he's been in the right places at crucial times backing the right people and initiatives for 50 years. An insanely hardworking reliable man. He's old. His time has passed. But it's not weird. 000
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026My heart is with you. My head and all of history is not. But if you say so. ♥️ 000
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Fair enough and I'm right there with you. I wanted to burn Mar-a-Lago to the ground to break his resolve and overwhelm Washington to end his momentum and send him into hiding a year ago. In history, that's actually how you do this. Maybe guillotines. We will see. 110
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Reflects well on you. Never once, never did I say anything about giving up. We don't disagree on the basics, we see this differently in scale. Donald has this now. When we see "millions upon millions" setting lives aside and arming like Ukrainians you and I will be on the same page. Good for you! 110
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026My goodness. This will not be won peacefully by America's left. Not now. Not anymore. MAGA will die for this before they let this go. Putin's been in 25 years now. Iran? 50 years and counting. 100
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026And by the way Ms. Lee you sound terrific and the peeps who know my timeline know exactly what I've been suggesting all year. The BlueSky mods have warned me twice to knock it off. Our situation has precious little to do with Donald's "crimes" going forward. Way past all that. That's what I think. ✌️ 000
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026RESPECT & LOVE Ukrainians. Do you think the American left is going to match the Ukrainians when the time comes? When Trump takes Greenland you think NATO is going to bomb NY and Washington? When we see young people actually gearing up to live and fight on the street like Ukraine there's a chance. 110
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Elections have no further meaning, flags and signs are beyond pointless, we know what this is going to take now and the left doesn't have the emo-maturity to rise to it. Honestly, we’re on the same side but if you think redacted Epstein files will mean anything at all? We’re in different realities. 100
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I think Ms. Lee, perhaps you may be making my point without meaning to. Death, carving the world up with Putin and Xi and corrupt cash with our military having Trump’s back is all that matters now. He is operating miles above all these little “charges” that distract and string out time on his side. 100
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Donald has the military now. Democracy's window is rapidly closing. 000
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026People who think proof of pedophilia is going to change anything are not helpful to our cause anymore. Trump's going nowhere. 100
AmericanSilo @americansilo.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Even a thousand reasons. At this point, anyone who expects tide-turning midterms is just self-medicating. 4330
