Reminds me of Stephen Harper's conservatives in Canada talking about "surging unreported crimes" to justify new prisons.

Coincidentally Harper is the leader of the IDU now and coordinating all these global fascist parties.

Somehow to Republicans, "thought police" means a random person on the internet criticizing another person for saying something racist, but not actual police arresting someone for criticizing Trump.

I wonder if there are cultural issues from motorists towards pedestrians at all.

MAGA overlaps with a lot of ideas about insecurity and violent masculinity that car dealers use to sell bigger trucks as well.

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:

"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

It’s unfortunately not uncommon for pedestrians to be killed by cars in the US.

Despite some people trying to frame it as some "resistance" to Trump, the Nobel committee completely capitulated to him.

Maria Corina Machado is a monster - she's a far-right Trump ally who openly calls for military invasion of Venezuela, and calls Trump's murder of Venezuelan citizens "visionary"

Also, the more space is given over to cars, the more people have to use cars to do anything.

Cities get so sprawled out, hostile to pedestrians and it's a nightmare to get around any other way, if you can at all.

She is literally cheering for Trump murdering Venezuelans.

She is actively working with international far-right figures to spread hate, intolerance and authoritarianism.

She is a fascist monster. And this award is a total capitulation to Trump's threats.
