If I say something abt being ready for an armed revolt pls know I’m full of shit. I’ve never held a gun & I’ve only fought w my brothers. I’ll join one but I’d die or be wounded quickly. If I’m wounded just charge ahead bc I’ll be fine on the ground playing Bejeweled on my phone for a few hours.

They spent a month saying we were being violent by calling them fascists meanwhile they’re literally talking about throwing their opponents in gas chambers

Whether it's young Democrats expressing their support for DEI or young Republicans saying "I love Hitler,' both sides have expressed controversial opinions.

Living in Europe I can tell you that the Republican Party is referred to as the Republican Nazi Party.

I see Republicans criticizing Obamacare right now.

You ask them about their own health care policies, they've got nothing.

Republicans are the party of kicking Americans off health care. That was true during Trump’s 1st term when they tried to kill the ACA, and it's true now.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado speaking to Donald Trump Junior.

"We will privatize all our industries for you, American companies will profit greatly."

It's fascist traitor Margaret Thatcher.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day, “Liberals: Fuck around and find out” next to picture of an assault rifle. Even in a conservative area, I had never seen anything like that until Trump. Now it’s common, and seems to get worse by the week. The right is openly violent and hateful.

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."

Patiently waiting for my DOGE dividend check or a Trump Tariff rebate… or maybe just an explanation of where that $18 trillion Trump keeps mentioning went. At some point we have to admit this entire White House is a scam.

News Analysis | Young Republican operatives expressed their love for Hitler, genocide, and gas chambers 1467 times in leaked Telegram chats. But whether they're truly neo-Nazis remains unclear.

If you are seeing this post, you - yes you - should go to a No Kings rally on Saturday. Just go take a walk w a friend for an hour and have it also stand up for freedom from tyranny.

I went to the last big one and it nourishes the soul.

Even if you've never been to a protest before. Trust me.
