I seem to recall America not being able to have a peaceful transition of power because "A small but very violent and vocal group" was the only one happy about attacking our nation's capital & attempting to overthrow the government.
They were pardoned by the guy Emmer is defending. Projection, much?
Now they just need to do the same thing with Air Force One. Trump's entire Administration would implode if journalists suddenly fact-checked them - Like They're Supposed To.
Social conservatives have been masterful throughout American history instilling tribalism & wedge issues in society to such a degree that, "How dare you say that?!" is the knee-jerk response instead of pausing to realize why the perspective may exist.
Too many people accept the narrative that being progressive means forcing guilt over someone, when it's simply about wanting a better future.
Yes, white Americans can be degrees of racist. Accepting those truths is vital to building tangible solutions towards a less racist world for our children.1/
Oct 14, 1964: Martin Luther King, Jr. accepts the Nobel Peace Prize for work against racial inequality via nonviolent means. His words continue to remind America how great our country & world can be.
Trump demanding a Nobel reveals a racist hatred that such black men existed & were better than he.
How many Latino hostages does it take for ICE to kidnap and hide from legal observers before journalists stop looking at Hamas and start looking at Trump?
Anyone arguing that there's a difference between Israeli and Latino hostages needs to sit back and think before they speak.
Once you choose to lose sight of the humanity needed behind the capitalism, you think capitalism can support itself. History is full of hollowed-out systems that quickly came crashing down from that mentality.
They're aiming for the head on purpose, because they have the "plausible deniability" that they were going for their chest. It's not a coincidence that it's happening from roof tops, where the angle makes headshots more common and their own safety almost assured.
Oct 13, 1775: America officially establishes the Continental Navy, precursor to today's US Navy. For 250 years, it has surprised & dominated major world forces in its overwhelming firepower & skill.
It's currently being used to blow up small Colombian & Venezuelan fishing boats without warning.
How many Trumped up charges (yep.) does a President make on his political enemies before journalists push back and say he's full of shit? Because it seems like the number keeps growing faster than Trump's inflation rate.
To billionaires like Trump and his kin, these are not tranquil times. Even without the threat or presence of violence, the country's severe equity imbalance means that if a popular & committed politician focuses on the middle & lower class, they could lose most they've grifted.
Pure capitalism is justifying spending billions to design a computer program that can seemingly tweet autonomously, while ignoring the human costs of indigenous inequality or poverty.
Can AI help resolve humanity's current issues? Absolutely. Not like this.
How many adults need to be in the room to prevent the RFK and Trump toddlers from pushing too many big red buttons on the American economy and health at once? Even Bart Simpson had better control and compassion than this, and he was literally written as an impulsive little asshole.
