They were a bunch of conservative racists. The fascism was kept to the fringe. And then, with trump, that fringe took over the rest of the party and is now running roughshod over the country. I watched this happen. You are ridiculous.

The current leader of the heritage foundation describes his role as "institutionalising trumpism"

They were essentially symbiotic through his first admin.

They have changed significantly over the last 10 years.

You'll remember that Alex Jones was a fringe crank. A fucking joke.

Did I fucking say that trump caused all of the problems with the republican party.

You seem to have a problem with making assumptions

Yes I know what the heritage foundation is and I am also aware of the fact that the heritage foundation has changed significantly because of trump and trumpism.

This should be considered a form of soft trumpism. Denying the severity of his ideology and his actions to own the libs.

This is laughable if you know any of the policies implemented by any republican president since regan

I actually am not going to waste my time trying to explain to a grown adult that no, the suicide cult worshipping a senile pedophile hellbent on destroying our nation for the lols is not what the last 40 years of republican ideology has secretly been all along.

Fuvking absurd.

Everyday we must remind people that gestapo agents and their enablers are committing atrocities. This is an ethnic cleansing. These are crimes against humanity. And they will be held accountable.

Its just too much. People are only getting angrier, the admin is only getting more desperate and belligerent, and ICE is only getting less disciplined.

I dunno how much it matters electorally, but it's definitely emotionally discouraging, to me, when Democrats seem to always feel the need to apologize for being the feminist-antiracist-worker's party.

A posture of righteousness would be appreciated, although it may be off-putting, I suppose.

This is usually the strength of liberal democracy! That losses are not only survivable, but a fundamental part of the political system. That broke when Trump seized control of the republican party.

ae @aelkus.bsky.social · 15h

"Winning elections forever is not a strategy!" is correct. But the implication of this is that at some point in the future we need to have a reason that losing them isn't existential

grateful portland has risen to the challenge so far in peacefully protesting the ICE facility and that nationally we're all cheering on the frogs but I think it's important to make sure everyone is aware that the ICE goons aren't exactly being peaceful in return

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.
