“You proles need to accept your lives getting worse so I can grow richer.” Yes, Smug Billionaire Asshole, most of us have already figured out that this is the social compact you and your fellow Smug Billionaire Assholes are trying to impose upon the rest of us.

The biggest democratic/liberal mistake of the last 50+ years has been operating like the right has anything to offer America. It was the fundamental problem with Bill Clinton to Obama and everyone in between

These people cannot be trusted to vote in their best interests. Ever. They have failed at the most simple task and have driven this country to ruin. They are too stupid to be allowed to have a say in the future of the country. Convince a non-voter to vote. There are LOTS of those.

Despite his best efforts, Trump isn't going to establish a consolidated autocracy before he's gone, thankfully relatively soon. But it matters how much he's repudiated as a disgraceful aberration. Because if not, he's just setting the floor for what the next wannabe dictator can get away with.

People comparing American politics to Roman precedents is as old as the United States, to the point of it being a pop culture cliche. But I wanted to make a somewhat different point with it. 1/

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.

The most blackpilling part of the last 10 years is that every liberal party in the industrialized ‘western’ world has embraced austerity, immigration restrictionism, and anti trans bigotry and it has objectively been a complete failure and their only idea is to just keep doubling down.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

This is a very good point and the thing to understand is that’s not what’s happening on either side. The republicans are identifying all the people they want to target for degradation and a repeal of their civil rights. The democrats are giving a list of who they’re okay to do that to.

And if that happens, I think the Republic is over. Either this was an illegitimate presidency where everything must be undone, or it was a legitimate one with a guy democrats don’t like, and if it’s the second, if No Rules Fascism is now standard operating procedure, we’re done.

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

The case stems from a violent anti-ICE protest, but critics say the government's prosecution threatens First Amendment rights.

9/11 should evoke many things. Memories of those lost. Admiration for the courage of those who sacrificed so much. But it also should engender humility. Before and after the attack, the U.S. national security establishment failed repeatedly. Intel failed. Our reactions to the attack...

And if we were largely seeing it among minorities, it would be treated like child abuse. Parents who refused to get the MMR would have their kids taken. But since it's mostly white people, suddenly it's an idea we have to respect.

Lol the United States was the only country of 165 which voted "no" to adopting an accurate map instead of the distorted Mercator projection. I'm guessing it was 30% inspired by an imperialist desire to keep Greenland looking big and 70% a racist desire to keep Africa small.

This would be true even if Republicans were televising live mass executions of people of color while screaming racial slurs before crowds of white people performing Nazi salutes. Media pundits are wedded to their narrative, and decades of obviously contrary facts have not shifted them one iota.
