This is of course the exact reason for the Forced Mourning of Charlie Kirk, to fabricate a bipartisan endorsement of this bigotry and hatred www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...
Oklahoma, of course, is a deeply red state. But in the wake of Kirk’s death, individuals and institutions across the nation moved not just to condemn his killing and political violence, but to venerate him. It was unsettling to many to see politicians from across the political spectrum speak with reverence about a man who espoused the racist Great Replacement Theory, which argues that white Americans are being systematically replaced by multiculturalism and by brown and Black immigrants; who continuously claimed that “there’s a war on white people in this country; who said it was “a fact” that “prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people”; who gave a platform to people who believe in eugenics and race science; who contended that Black people commit more crime than white people and that the blame lies in a Black culture that accepts that Black men “impregnate women and they don’t stay around”; who referred to a transgender athlete as an “abomination” and called “the transgender thing” a “throbbing middle finger to God”; and who declared that Islam, the world’s second-largest religion, “is not compatible with Western civilization” and that it is a sword being used “to slit the throat of America.”

When Republicans get power they do whatever they want. They dont care about polls or the courts or the rule of law. When Democrats get power they worry about pissing off Republicans who will never vote for them.

So weird that Dems who said Trump won because Dems weren’t focusing enough on young voters and kitchen table issues are actively opposing a candidate who won the NYC mayoral primary doing just that. Almost as if that’s not really the concern…

That Democrats, even now, insist on focusing on and blaming the progressive wing of their party for Trump is exactly how we entered the Nadir a century ago. White Americans and those who wanted to politically ascend abandoned Black people and oppressed groups to reunite politically with each other.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.
A cartoon by Cori6 compares two scenarios. The top panel, labeled "PROJECT 1938," shows a group of people, including adults and children, disembarking from a train with a ramp, reminiscent of historical deportations. The bottom panel, labeled "PROJECT 2025," depicts a similar group of people disembarking from an airplane using a mobile staircase, suggesting a modern deportation scenario. The cartoon is signed "Cori6" in the bottom right corner.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

There is a way that this could be — and in fact should be— framed where this is not about political victories but human rights, the rule of law and what is just in America. When will we learn to stop treating democratic crises as mere horse race politics?
