You can either deny reality or fix it, Trump is a reflection of your country as it has always been. It's not enough to reject or oust his regime, but also, have a serious reflection as a nation of how you actually got here, allowed corruption & impunity to exist openly for so long, and change it.

Religions are vehicles for power, swap in Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, or anything else, and the result will be the same. Predators don’t genuinely believe; they use faith to mobilize sycophants, control others, justify cruelty, extract money and influence, wielding God as a bludgeon.

Why are some people responding with stories of people being mean or mocking? Genuinely mysterious to me that someone would see this request and think, “what a great opportunity to remind folks that people can be shitty.” Jfc look at the rest of your timeline. Is there not enough?

The lead up to fascism creates great art — punk and hip hop, coded horror movies, prophetic novels and thrilling plays. Fascism itself, once in power, only produces patriotic kitsch.
I wonder if there is any connection between the quality of horror movies and the level of American fascism?
