Trump is a poor man’s idea of wealth, an ignorant man’s idea of greatness, and a weak man’s idea of strength. When he burns the country to the ground (again), when its economy collapses (again), brought down by his incompetence (again)—laugh in their MAGAt faces #Talibamicans

Since trumps fascist states of America picked Russia over the democratic west, the term is being reworked. Ukraine, Europe, Australia can still come to our parties. In this case the devil you thought you knew you didn’t really know at all.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

One last point before my break. If y’all MAGAts think about invading, you’ll win but we’ll bleed you like Ukrainians against Russia. I mean we will fuck you up like flannel wearing Mujahideen. Night!

In the best story he saw a man with his hand behind his back but since he also had a crew of ICE he could not reasonably have assumed it was a gun. Also if it’s ok to assume it’s ok to attack someone this way because of where his hand is then it’s ok for anyone to do the same. Hope not.

But we have Israeli Jews who see no contradiction in being the Nazis in their own story. So I guess here we are. Black men as fascists and Jews behaving like Nazis.

damappples.bsky.social @damappples.bsky.social · 11d

Why does it feel weird and gross to see a black man behave this way? Like, I expect better since they’re a population that’s been so often the target of this same fascism.

I say it not to be an alarmist, but it’s impossible to ignore all the warning signs.

They have no intentions of abiding by the will of the people anymore.

Democratic governors and Dems in Congress need to be mobilizing now to fortify our elections, especially from threats posed by the Elon types.
