His name is literally "HE-MAN". The most pronoun name ever.
I constantly play this game of "are grifters really this dense, or do they just expect their audience to be?" The answer is both obviously but it still hurts my brain seeing the endless feedback loop of asshole to asshole reinforcement.

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country
ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs."

So one thing I've figured out is that most all people who support Trump have never heard him speak. They either a) refuse because they don't want to think about it; b) they watch RW propaganda which never features actual content from the president; or c) they do neither of those.

I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.

Early in his term, Trump declared himself king, ignoring laws passed by Congress and the Constitution. That is not enough for him.
He has now declared himself to be God, with absolute power of life and death over everyone, American and foreigner, with a divine power to dictate reality.

When folks outside the US start following US political news, it’s initially pretty confusing that one of the major parties is commonly referred to using an acronym for a nickname

Has anyone else noticed that the EPSTEIN FILES are still being held back. Less than 1% have been released. Another blatant refusal to accept oversight from our pitifully weak congress. 🗽

Conservatives have so throughly dehumanized anyone not like them that they really are just out here cheering on the extrajudicial murder of an American citizen too. She’s just a queer liberal woman, all reasons she’s not really human, so of course she was fine for her to be murdered by the state.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.
