Is Trump's entire foreign policy just gonna be vibes??? I'm honestly asking... There are no more neoconservatives anymore... Is MAGA just hoping "Trump's toughness" is enough to deter China from taking over Taiwan???

When the majority chooses to empower the greater evil, they betray the essence of what it means to belong to a nation of ideals. To condone harm is to forfeit the right to call oneself a countryman.

A liberal has to tell a hundred stories, or a thousand. A communist has one story, which might not turn out to be true. A fascist just has to be a storyteller. I want everyone to read Timothy D. Snyder's piece in The New Yorker titled "What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?"

Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy. The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up. Don’t give them want they want. Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

Our government is a liberal representative democracy in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law.

I encourage everyone to start doing push-ups and sit-ups. If you can't, that's okay—you can jog instead. If jogging isn't an option, that's fine too—you can walk. Stretching becomes more important as you do more workouts. It's essential to practice corporeal politics.

I just realized that a self preservation habit I formed over at the other place was not looking at replies hardly at all to keep from seeing all the hate. Bear with me as I get used to actually chatting with decent folks again.

This election is so painfully mundane in poli sci terms: -An incumbent party being defeated in the face of public economic discontent -An authoritarian capitalizing on discontent to return to office, paying less of a price than we might hope at the ballot box because the public has other priorities

Tell them we want a New Deal. We want an economic bill of rights. We fight for our freedoms by spreading these ideas. In the end, remember this: Do not obey in advance Defend the vulnerable Speak the truth

Hello, fellow Gen Z here. We tell them that Tariffs are taxes because that's what they are. Tell them to join a union instead! Tell them that "trumpism" is unamerican. Tell them that America is an idea.
