Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Most of the people who are so misogynistic that they would never vote for a woman president are Republicans. Diehard Trump fans who would never vote for any Democratic candidate in the first place.

That excuse definitely doesn’t explain why less DEMOCRATS voted for her than Biden.

I think it’s partly people wanting to live comfortably and not have to worry about finances anymore (which requires a fair amount of money, but not to be *rich* rich), and partly curiosity about an experience few will ever get to have

Most of them genuinely delude themselves into thinking that they became that rich by being super smart and hard-working, and not by getting stupidly lucky and/or exploiting workers. That’s how they’re able to sleep at night

I’d be donating money willy-nilly if I had tens or hundreds of millions, let alone billions of dollars. It takes a really unethical person to hoard that ungodly amount of money for their entire life, someone whose ego is through the roof. That’s why I don’t believe they suffer imposter syndrome.

We can frankly live without the far-right. We don’t need them nor want them, and they are nothing but a nuisance. There’s not any good-faith discussion to be had with them.

Having voices ranging from the moderate-right to far-left is already enough political diversity.

12 year olds in 2016 would think these names are so clever

A lot of it can be traced back to misogyny too

“They recruit because they can’t reproduce” sounds directly lifted from 1990s homophobic propaganda. Homophobia and transphobia are close siblings.

People that view Trump as an aberration or departure from the conservatism of the past, rather than an expansion of it, are fundamentally incapable of analyzing what got us here. The status quo of the past led us directly to the current status quo

Yes. The title of the list is a bit too vague, but the list is so Palestinians can avoid Islamophobic assholes who harass them

Not only calling every Marxist-Leninist a “tankie” but also everyone who likes/reposts a Marxist-Leninist account? If someone has a good take, I’m pressing “like”, I don’t care nor bother to investigate what their views on the Soviet Union are

Honestly, the most likely scenario is that they’ll go completely inactive after 2025-2026

I know that, I wasn’t solely talking about the pardoning power with the last sentence

cyanlol @cyanlol.bsky.social · 20h

They're desperately trying to be ”one of the good ones” to the Christian right, to the point where they deleted their whole-ass glossary of extremism over the slightest bit of pressure. And for what? The right still hates them

cyanlol @cyanlol.bsky.social · 20h

Fair, but even then I feel like it should take more people’s approval for a pardon to be granted instead of just the president

This country has been increasingly giving the president more power than the rest of the government and then wonders why we end up with a “king”.

Being offspring is not a sin, but being related to them in another way is, lmao

They need funding just to skim the Constitution and say that whatever Trump wants to do is A-OK?

cyanlol @cyanlol.bsky.social · 22h

they joined here during the Biden administration

That’s got to be the fastest time someone became #1 most blocked. Even quicker than JD Vance

cyanlol @cyanlol.bsky.social · 1d

Still worth a block tbh

Some of the other departments like Department of Agriculture follow him too
