Sounds like a repub to me:
* refuses to take responsibility for his allegiance
* kisses trump's ass, calls Biden old
* salivates over tax cuts he believes he's owed
* lacks any prosocial impulses
* whines that neither party is perfect, therefore he regrettably has become a fascist
* blames others
* refuses to take responsibility for his allegiance
* kisses trump's ass, calls Biden old
* salivates over tax cuts he believes he's owed
* lacks any prosocial impulses
* whines that neither party is perfect, therefore he regrettably has become a fascist
* blames others

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Democrats need to head off this malevolent denaturalization push by threatening the same once they're back in power. If Republicans don't back off, promise to denaturalize and deport Elon Musk, David Sacks, Melania Trump, Seb Gorka, Usha Vance's parents, etc. There's an endless list.

The equivalent here isn’t “doctor gives penicillin for infection,” it’s “barber gives leeches to treat ill humours.”
REPORTER: Is there pain in the market at some point you're unwilling to tolerate?
TRUMP: I think your question is so stupid. I don't want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.

This is why Space Caligula throttles posts with external news links on X. He encourages users to post their made up “citizen journalism” and conspiracy theories directly on to his platform. It’s much easier to manipulate vibes than it is to argue with facts.
"When scientists develop arguments, they don’t say, 'Because I said so.' They say, 'The evidence shows ... ' Authoritarians don’t do that. They come up with lots of different strategies to prevent you from asking questions. They don’t give responses that answer them."
The "cognitively irresponsible" presidency

My first days on Mastodon felt like I'd arrived as a visitor to a small Scandinavian town whereupon I was gently scolded by the polite, well-meaning liberal tech geeks who ran the place and who didn't want their vibe to change.
