The party of pedo protectors is calling October 18 the "hate America" rally because nothing says "hate America" than protesting a fascist authoritarian dictatorship led by a dementia-addled psychopath who palled around with the worst sex offenders in history

This is coded white supremacy, simple as that

Authoritarians will always try to gaslight those who are against the fascist police state. In this case it's particularly egregious because they're literally raiding homes and arresting kids and shooting priests in the face with tear gas.

Aside from that, so much for DOJ not being politicized.

Listen they need to have a non-extradition country to flee to when everything comes crashing down - just like their 1940s German idols

SCOTUS is utterly broken and corrupt. It is nothing more than a tool for the totalitarian regime.

There were two other special elections recently. In both cases the winners were sworn in within 48 hours.

Mike Johnson delayed Grijalva for very specific reasons using "certification" as his flimsy excuse while being technically justified.

AZAG did not legally have much to go on until cert.

"Worst of the worst" my ass. They're going after kids and families because they're power-tripping cowards whose job is to incite fear and terror into voters to keep them home from the polls.

The reason why I deeply loved Tron Legacy was because of how they handled the aesthetics of the computer world. It was breathtaking. Bringing that out and having it interact with reality feels a little generic and tropey.

They had a hook at the end of Legacy. And that was Tron reasserting itself.

Yeah but a Democrat said something mean so now it's ok that these idiots are Nazis right?

This clown really believes that he rates a sir from everyone

Next it'll be King Charles who came up to him with tears in his eyes and said "sir, you're a kinglier king than I ever was" and offered him the crown

So what position will he get in the maga government?

Rob Dalton @daltonator.bsky.social · 18h

Things make a bit more sense if you consider the idea that most of his decisions are because he's an asshole

Really quite simple

Cancelling Indigenous Peoples' Day? Because he's an asshole

Ordering DOJ to prosecute political enemies? He's an asshole

Firing govt workers during shutdown? ASSHOLE

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

We didn't do anything extraordinary here. Sure, I wrote a nice script, and my friend @barubin.bsky.social did a fantastic job overlaying visuals. But what we're saying is pretty obvious.

What I wonder is why *we* have to say these things as opposed to, I don't know, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social?

"Show them you're not afraid. Do it for the country. For the Constitution. For your family. For yourself. Do it for your freedom. While you still can."

This is excellent. Every Dem strategist who thinks there's risk in engaging these debates should watch it for guidance.

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump.
