America as an idea means nothing to them, and they believe it means nothing to anyone else.
They're mistaken, and of all their mistakes it just may be the one that costs them the most.

One of the many differences between Trumpism and past mainstream conservative movements and even far-right movements is that Trumpists make minimal to no attempt to claim and use traditional American symbols, aesthetics, and texts. Mostly, it's straight-up monarchical and Nazi messages.

Trump just announced new tariffs on Germany, UK, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland—over Greenland. Yet he claims to have struck "comprehensive" trade deals covering 7 of these 8 nations.
If "deals" don't bind, why negotiate?
Extra credit: What has he done to U.S. leverage?

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California.
So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

American Samoans, unique among *everyone* born in US states or territories, are denied US citizenship.
That means they are banned from voting.
That's made some a target of vicious GOP prosecution for fraud; even if they were told incorrect info from public officials.
