I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity. It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030. Taxing the rich is a global necessity.

Trump started a pointless and illegal war with Iran, he lost it almost immediately, he crushed America's economy and America's partners while making Iran and our rivals much stronger. He did it for no reason he can articulate. In any decent nation, he'd be forced to resign immediately.

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.
The Daily Caller on Threads:

OPINION: We should do more than just require ID to vote. The Save Act is the least we should do. It’s rookie numbers. We should do far more. Way fewer people should be allowed to vote. Americans must meet two of three criteria to vote:

1. Be a net contributor to tax revenue
2. Own property
3. Be married with children…


There’s also a graphic that says “in a fairer world 150 million Americans wouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

Three right-wing talking points whose logic contradicts each other: 1. No voter ID means illegal immigrants are voting. 2. You need an ID to fly on a plane so you should need one to vote. 3. We need to send ICE to airports to arrest all the illegal immigrants flying on planes.
