      If actual leftist take power these fascist will be held responsible for more than that.

      Unfortunately, it looks like we’re headed towards another liberal 4 years followed by an actual fascist with ideology and intelligence in the form of Tucker Carlson. Hell, if the midterms are bad we might even skip the 4 years of failed liberal rule.

      I think it’s actually WORSE if we have another 4 years of a liberal failing to do anything of material value for the majority of the population. Especially if they are held up as “the left” by DSA Andy’s. There is nothing more damaging to the left and more helpful to the right than a normie thinking that leftism is half-assed public private partnership programs that are labeled as “communist” if their goal is at all perceived as being helpful to anyone but the ruling class.

        Tucker, Gavin, AOC, Vance… all bit players in an inevitable gravity well towards a known outcome. Everything is circling the drain towards a techno-fascist oligarchy as our principle system of rule for like, several decades at least before the system collapses from the weight of competing corporate agendas, AI psychosis and manipulation, and massive climate change leading to levels of human migration we’ve never seen in the modern world, combined with population collapse in huge urban centers from failing birth rates.

    Puppy killer Kristi Noem

    is seeking emergency approval to demolish 13 historic buildings at the historic federal campus St. Elizabeths, established by Congress in 1855 and originally called the “Government Hospital for the Insane,” the newspaper reported Tuesday.

    Noem said that the buildings constituted “a present risk to life and property” given that the buildings sit on the DHS’ West Campus complex, and that their vacancy could be used by “individuals seeking to cause harm to personnel,” including those seeking to carry out “active shooter scenarios.”

    I think he figures if he tears down a historic hospital for the mentally ill, they can’t ever put him in it.

    Probably have a Trump statue built in all of these locations.
