They figure out who they hate and want to bust. They then reverse engineer one of the insults and screaming memees they have been developing and marketing to the base to apply to the hate de jure and then… pedal to the metal! 🍊💩🤡

What you are witnessing is rule by a soulless sociopathic narcissist in whom not a molecule of forbearance could be found. Ziblatt and Levitsky wrote “How Democracies Die” with the express purpose of warning us against that type of person. The Founders used different words but made clear the danger🤷🏻‍♂️

Brilliantly Doctored Video Shows Trump & His Cronies Being Arrested
Every now and again you see a video that warms your heart.  Sometimes it’s a Ken Burns documentary or a scene from a Wes Anderson film, other times it’s what could be described as ‘digitally fabricate...

Remember that Hungary is about as ethnically pure a state as there is in Europe (having been stripped of its empire after choosing the wrong side in 2 world wars.) She is the picture of homogeneity vs the totally diverse USA. Much easier for the brilliant Orbán than for functionally illiterate 🍊💩🤡.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

“DEI” is the current iteration of Lee Atwaters’ n*gger euphemisms. It is true racism in that it assumes one is inferior if Black.

Try finding this in today’s @nytimes.com They don’t want to offend trump and the Rs by reporting on their favorite dictator.

trump*s “extraordinary” speech at DOJ was pure Mussolini. That he was not confronted by vocal outrage, both there and on his way back testifies how far down the psychopath we have wandered. Republicans did not object, demonstrating, once again, that they are with the tyrant all the way.

@nytimes.com has a buried article on Belgrade protests but nothing I could find today on Budapest. Protecting trump*s and R’s favorite dictator? The @us.theguardian.com has it all comparatively well covered.

3-12-2025 Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @nickknudsenus.bsky.social 🚨 BREAKING: This ad, when tested, moves public opinion as much as 4 points away from Trump & Republicans. THAT’S HUGE MOVEMENT. Please share! Turns out Americans don’t like their health care getting cut so billionaires can get a tax cut.

Fascism does not become apparent to the general public until there is an overt demonstration. DOGE is close, but I think it will take a clearly illegitimate election for cold water to hit the face of the public. Midterms should knock the stuffing out of the Rs, and they know it. Watch for response.

Well there you have it. We have reached the newest iteration of Lee Atwater’s “n****r” euphemisms. They backed and filled and massaged “DEI” so the racist base is satisfied and now use it to batter down the barricades of tolerant liberal society. White Christian Nationalism #WCN is the new future.

Do you want to understand how we have arrived at Banana Republican? Ask yourself about the future if there are only two possible futures for your children and grandchildren: a lockdown dictatorship (running the country like a business) and wildly fluctuating and unstable governments. (I’ll be dead.)

He gave us a choice: the path of quiet competency and normalcy vs the path of a manic Batman story line. We were overacted and bored we chose the psychopath. But FA always ends up at FO. Buckle up.

@mcbride.house.gov Self has “no decency” (see Joseph Welch). Keating has loads of it. One more confirmation that MAGA just wants permission to pick on people they are bigoted against. And trump has given it to them. Disgusting. HENS! 💪🏻

No sugar coat. This administration, at the behest of business and the general oligarchy that is calling he shots makes it clear that there will be no more democracy, no more helping the little guy, no more protection for the weak and abused, and by no means, ANY attempts to right historic wrongs.

You want efficient? Run the country like a business. But don’t come whining when it dawns on you that a business is by definition a dictatorship. You want want freedom to participate in consensual democracy? Lots of regular work to minimize messy and wasteful. Take your pick.
