Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

"I'm a libertarian which means I think everyone should be able to do whatever they want all the time so I'm going to vote for the guy who wants to control literally every aspect of your private life and how you exist as a person"

That would be an ex post facto law with respect to any of the litany of crimes already committed, so it's worthless as a pledge now.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

These racist, misogynist, violent motherfuckers cannot be permitted to have any policy influence. They have to be shouted down, shunned, and the levers of government have to be ruthlessly pulled at every opportunity to wall out their influence.

"If your pilot is a she and she looks ten shades darker than someone from Sicily, just end it there. Scream the no no word." These people are degenerate fucking scum. There is no potential bipartisanship with these people. We have to outvote them and push them back to the ideological margins.
