    I can’t believe I’m living though my country’s Nazi era. History will not be kind to us. I hate all of this. My sister voted for this and I’ll never forgive her.

      My entire damned family voted for it… even my closest sibling who had never voted republican in her life… that other side indoctrinated hard… I’m so disgusted, and she even said “I’m so sad ice picked up one of my favorite co-workers!” “And you voted for that” apparently wasn’t the comfort she was seeking.

          Too fucking true… just hurts to see it close by. I know she’s smart… she’s just, well indoctrinated… that cult is a hell of a drug

          Ignorant isn’t the right word. There has been a coordinated propaganda campaign for 30 years pointing toward this goal. What you’re seeing in these people didn’t happen overnight. Yes they are also ignorant. Nazi sympathizers were average citizens. Fascist propaganda is a powerful drug.

    Noem told reporters alongside Trump on July 1 as they toured a new detention center in the Florida Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” “Alligator Auschwitz.”

    That’s the correct name.

    And they’ll bend the knee. Throw some scapegoat under the bus, because this is the new Fascist America.

    You chose this, America. Now no one will save us.

    So, are the democrats and the American people, and all our public institutions, and private industry just going to sit around and let these fascist losers ruin everything, forever? Is that the plan? It really looks like that’s the plan right now.

      No one is broadcasting the revolution. Throw sugar in ICE gas tanks, cut the power to Heritage Foundation offices, and shut the fuck up about it.

          Then stick your dick and balls in there, as long as you do something. Doing nothing is not an option if you aren’t in a currently targeted group.

              Really focusing on that, huh? And not the message of destruction of fascists property? Dig in, then.

                Sugar doesn’t destroy property - that’s my point. Are you literate? Make some caltrops or do something that actually works.

                  Thats really cool, man. No one is posting their real plans to public forums. It was fun having this pointless argument for you to feel smart though.

                  Bro you’re really not getting it. Hell, they agreed with you and now you’re just kinda going off on their literacy while proving that your comprehension needs work. The fuck do you want from them?

                  You’re weird for this; chill out.

      It makes more sense when you fully understand what people mean when they say both sides.

      People who want to argue that point take it to mean “both sides are the same”. What it really means is both sides are complicit. It’s good cop bad cop. The good cop has to keep up appearances, to sell the illusion of choice and safety. While the bad cop takes all the heat.

      And if you want evidence, just look at how things have gone in the last 40 years. Republicans take 3 steps right, democrats take 1 step left. Well, do the math. That’s a net result of 2 steps to the right without recoarse. Now repeat for 40 years, and you have a situation where it’s literally gotten to nazi america tactics.

      The old barometer for how far they’ve gone is when they undid roe v wade. Now, thats so far in the rear view, that we’re at a point where unidentified government agents are kidnapping people on the street, without even confirming they have reason to arrest them, and at times killing them in the process.

      Let me repeat that. We’re at a point where government officials are now grabbing people off the street and killing them, without so much as a confirmation of their identity.

      But don’t worry, the democrats are going to wave their fingers in a “no no no” motion, real hard. We’ll all be fiiiiiiine! Well, unless of coarse you’re brown enough, or just mistaken for an opposing opinion.

      Yeah. Both sides.

        It makes sense why the cult and its leaders call progressives the “extreme left” because the center and the right has shifted so much.

      Comedian turned activist Cliff Cash has a public call to action if you’re interested. He’s asking anyone who can come to Washington D.C. to join him to go to congressional offices this next Monday. It’s likely to not be a silver bullet to all this fascist bullshit but it’s a good fight.

      I’m also pretty sure there are similar efforts and protests near you if you can’t make the trip today.

    How does this make any sense?

    Shouldn’t they be suing Apple to take it down if they don’t like it? I know they just want to weaken press, but it feels like an especially weak excuse.

    Trump is going full Saddam Hussein much quicker than I would’ve thought. If anyone is curious, please look up what he did as he came to power.
