Mostly screaming into the void from Ohio to maintain sanity in Trumps Idiocracy. 👏 democracy, human rights, social democracy, empathy, books. 🚫 fascism, bigotry, patriarchy, selfishness, unfettered capitalism.

I can’t imagine how stupid/indecent I’m going to think Repub voters/Trump supporters after another two years of them proving daily that they are actually more stupid/indecent than I thought.

Wouldn’t it be cool if there were some sort of penalty for politicians who verifiably lie? The first amendment is cool and all, but not when our society is this fucking stupid.

Short answer: Religion. Longer answer: despite many of our best efforts, ours is a society unfortunately constructed on the patriarchy of the Abrahamic religions. Any attempt to get women on equal footing to men through this framework requires so much mental gymnastics with their holy books and

The fact that campaign adds work at all is a fairly depressing aspect of our political system. If a commercial of blatant, obvious lies is sufficient to influence a vote, hades help us.

If this is how the Trump regime chooses to post about meeting with trumps bestie Xi, I’m beginning to think that Repubs don’t really see communism as the threat that they’ve fear mongered about.
Trump regime says “let them eat cake” while meeting with Xi.

Religion is kind of silly. Theistic (sky daddy) religions even sillier. Exclusivist, proselytizing, (my way is the only right way, but you can join if you want) theistic religions sillier yet. Exclusivist, theistic, ethno (my way is the only right way, & no you can’t join us) religions are the worst

If you have disillusioned MAGA in your life, do everything you can to reenforce the idea that their participation in politics is fruitless, that they will always be betrayed by their elected officials, and that they should just avoid voting altogether. The best way out of this is for them to recede

Americas obsession with religion has, I fear, clouded rather than refined our moral compass. Since merely being a “good person” isn’t good enough, at least not in tradition I was raised in/around, I’m not sure we even know how to tell what a good person is anymore. So many people have no issue with

Based on how enamored Trump is with Xi, I’m inclined to see communist China as not just not a threat, but our momentary best friend. Republicans must love communism.

The shitty thing about those that deny that what we’re seeing is authoritarianism or fascism is that they simply disagree with the words, not the underlying actions causing us to use those words.

This kind of garbage has salience not simply because Republican politicians are immoral morons (they are), but more so because Republican voters have zero standards regarding ethics, accountability, or truth.

If any other country had bombed one of our schools and killed over 100 school girls, we would have started five wars with that country alone, in addition to starting wars with any country that bordered them just for fun.

When people can’t wrap their mind around giving a shit about issues that affect other people until they themselves are affected by an issue, it’s not all that bad to wish ill upon that type of person.

There should be extra penalties for someone (mainly thinking about politicians here ) who commits a crime or ethics violation, denies these allegations, and is then later proven to have done the thing. I’m so tired of “they’ve denied the allegations“ as meaning any damn thing.

In the same way that despots worldwide know that the best chance of success for their despotic ambitions is to strike while Trump is still in power, the greedy oligarchs and gilded-folk know the same is true for their mergers, acquisitions, and enshitification of products. What a time to be alive.

All of the worlds dictators and authoritarians know that their star won’t shine any brighter once Trump is gone. They know that Trump provides them with a once in a lifetime kind of justification and cover to act out. Things will likely to get much more stupid than we can ever comprehend.

The “conservative“ theory of governance has been stripped & laid completely bare under this admin. It’s not just that they don’t think that govt. serves any positive function in the name of helping people or society. It is that, but it is also coupled with absolute grift and corruption at the top.

Just another reminder to ostracize Trump supporters in all areas of society. If ostracism isn’t an option, at least consider shunning them.

I’ll never forgive my fellow citizens that have emboldened, justified, & (at least in his and their eyes) legitimized this horrible example of humanity that sits in the oval. At least they’ve made it readily apparent that we won’t need to give one shit about anything they think or say in the future.

I can’t think of a better word to describe current American society than superficial. Superficial patriotism, love of freedom, morals, ethics, values, concern for others, and community. On any topic, scratch the surface just a little bit and you’ll find the decaying void of the American soul.

I say it again and again: Trump is just a deplorable, megalomaniacal useful idiot. Everything that is happening rests squarely on the shoulders of his millions of supporters who, if they saw something they didn’t like and let their reps know about it en mass, could actually put a stop to this.

I still believe that our best chance of closing the Trump chapter and beginning to move forward is for significant numbers of his supporters to become so disillusioned with politics that they never participate again. An absolute drubbing in November would be a good start down this road. Please vote.

Each new day provides Trump supporters with the opportunity to descend to new levels of stupidity, arrogance, bigotry, and hate. And they never fail to meet that challenge head on and with everything they have.

I’ve been thinking about other progressive eras in American politics, and it seems those were possible mainly because they happened in an era where white people were OK to help other white people. Once helping “society“ meant helping non-whites, it became much more of a struggle.

I really wish that a politicians religion (any & all, but especially the sky daddy ones) would be an embarrassing hindrance to their chances of electoral success rather than an essential non-negotiable. And this was something that I thought even in the days that I considered myself a christian.
