    This shit is getting out of control. I don’t think people understand how close we are to a full dictatorship. Some would say we are already there, but there is still time. Once a dictatorship is installed, the only way from it is assassination…. It’s also a great preventer… just saying.

      And assassination usually just results in the next most ruthless psycho becoming dictator. The only real way out is a mass movement, which the dictatorship will do everything it can to make almost impossible.

      Oh, some of us know. And some of us are sick of the edging.

      We’re going there, inexorably. They’re trying to pretend that’s not what’s happening, and loads of people are happy to go along with it out of… denial? Blissful ignorance?

      But some of us just wish they’d drop the fragments of their mask, already, so we can stop debating where we are in the 14 steps and just fucking deal with the problem.

      Yes. More so than even the pedo-in-chief, I would so love to see so many of these side-kick thugs in prison - Bannon, Gorka, Bondi, Noem, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and especially Miller.

    Every time I hear about that whiny bitch named Stephan Miller my blood runs hot with indignation. He is the exact type my ancestors would dump for trying to break deals already signed just so he didn’t have to pay for cargo, the type that festers due to modernity who think historically they’d have done better rather than getting shot at the age of 16 for being a shit heel.
