Elections are held in what I call electoral dictatorships. To maintain power, electoral dictators hold unfair elections and suppress opponents. If the GOP retains control of Congress, then an electoral dictatorship is likely in the US. My latest @TheEmancipator.org theemancipator.org/2026/10/06/i...

"Yet South Asia holds the largest absolute number of child brides — with 45% of all girls and women who ever married before 18 living in South Asia, primarily in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan." Interesting, it's almost like the religion doesn't matter as much as conservatives being conservative.

I love how they throw that word "all" in there when ever they want. Somehow one Muslim represents all of Islam, but one Christian doesn't represent all of Christianity. Convenient.

These fucking geniuses just do not understand anything. No, actually trump is very bad for every worker in this country. He's making everyone's pay less because of inflation. He's cutting back on workplace safety requirements. He's hurting wages. It's so so so fucking sad.

The tariffs are not raising money. They are illegal. The admin has to pay them back. And we're paying for the tariffs. Those increases are then passed on to the higher prices we have of everything. This account is a shitty liar.

Right, don't you hate when people say true things, but you're paid to convince other people that those things aren't real, so you just post the quote and figure you know your audience will just scoff, instead of listening and learning? I know I hate when that happens.

If it was the fairest deal ever, as trump said, it would still be the fairest deal. That's how words work. He didn't say it's the fairest deal we can get right now. He didn't say it's better than the old deal, but not great. He said it was the fairest deal ever.

If it's not fair now, then it wasn't fair then. Do you understand how that works? It seems weird you're incapable of just saying that trump lies, when that's the obvious answer.
