Gavin Newsom is successfully using the communication strategy that I used starting nearly a decade ago. I would say it's working remarkably well, just as it did for me. I had been pushing Democrats to adopt this strategy for many years without success. Mockery really highlights the absurdity.

Corporations really just straight up steal from you these days.

Fascism is a cancer on the host body of democracy. If cancer is not forcefully cut out and removed, it will eventually consume the entire host, killing itself in the process.

Listening to idiots talk about staying out of foreign wars for four years and then within 5 months get us into the mother of all conflicts in the Middle East 🫠

I just spent two weeks in Canada and it's difficult to truly appreciate how insane America is until you view it externally. I cannot tell you how many Canadians asked me some variation of "what's wrong with America." I had to explain that around 40% of our population is functionally braindead.

The American public is completely braindead at the moment. They have been lied to for so long that they cannot tell truth from fiction anymore.

I've been struggling to come up with a solution to the issue of low information voters significantly outnumbering the general educated public. Just like in idiocracy, we are significantly outnumbered and I don't see a way out of this.

The authoritarian government the conservatives have been screaming about for decades is finally here and they are all gleefully cheering it on.

one of the worst takes i've seen in some time. it's not corrupt unless you put it in writing that you're violating the law!

Would love to hear a single legitimate reason the head of DHS has $3,000 cash on them

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Every American stands with Harvard.

The most frustrating thing to me about these wild market swings is that you know every single Trump advisor is making massive market plays on every single tariff tweet that Trump posts.

These idiots screamed about inflation (that they caused) for four years and then voted for a 25% tax hike on themselves. 😂

I've never heard a single believable reason why Trump is pro-Russia.

I can’t imagine being invaded by the Russians, constantly seeing your fellow citizens die, and then having to show up at the White House to be disrespected by those two clowns. An absolute fucking embarrassment.

I've come to realize that for Trump supporters, the Constitution and the Bible are simply instruments to beat their opponents with when the time is convenient. They have read neither. And even if they had, they would cherry pick the items that are convenient depending on the argument of the moment.

Two of my former history teachers both ended up being fascists. It's amazing to me that you can dedicate your entire life to studying how leaders use religion and ideology to manipulate the masses, and then fall for it hook, line, and sinker when it reaches your front door.

it must be a huge coincidence that all of the least intelligent people i know have the same political ideology while all of the most intelligent people i know are opposed to that same ideology

There's a coup going on and no one's doing anything about it.

I remember when Republicans used to constantly complain about the NSA spying on them and FISA warrants. Now they are comfortable turning over all federal data to a foreign immigrant and a bunch of 23 year old virgins.

FBI agents who overwhelmingly voted for Trump are somehow shocked when he comes after them. After he said he was going to do this for years.

I will repeat that elected officials should have a mandatory retirement age of 60 years old.

The U.S. is currently undergoing a coup and Democrats are issuing strongly worded letters.

@mcuban.bsky.social Please comment on the Luka trade

We are picking unnecessary fights with all of our allies while ignoring all of the very real threats from our enemies.

Who wants to marry me so I can get EU citizenship 😭

We are speedrunning a constitutional crisis.

Trump's hiring freeze and Elon's tampering with the FAA directly contributed to the deaths of 67 people.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: Joe Biden is one of the biggest cowards in human history. He had one job: to stop Trump from getting back in office. And he failed spectacularly.

at what point does it become rational to flee? this is a question i've been asking for years

the most defining feature of modern conservatism is not understanding how anything works. the moment you understand how things work, you immediately cease to be a conservative

the Republican Party is currently in a contest for who can come up with the cruelest idea possible. and that will inevitably only lead you to one place

i'm starting to see more right wing troll replies at the top of Facebook comment sections. this is how the downfall of Twitter started.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Elon did two full on Nazi salutes today and the media is afraid to report it because of potential libel suits later. Cowards.

"America's decline is over" - it's just getting started. Our decline is about to accelerate exponentially.

Jimmy Carter was forced to sell his tiny peanut farm but we now have a President running an active crypto rugpull.

I love California so much. I don't care what the haters say.

i made the mistake of opening Twitter yesterday and the entire For You tab was disinformation about the California wildfires and smears against the LA Mayor and Gavin Newsom

the world must be an absolutely horrifying place if you don't understand how anything works

Every single media institution is just completely buckling in the face of Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/b...

if you think these billionaires are out of control, just wait until we have a trillionaire

Let me clarify what Elon is doing: You are only allowed to see negative content when a Democrat is in office. Once a Republican wins, you are only allowed to see positive content. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-an...

me 🙅🏼‍♂️ cold weather

someone just told me that something i posted was the "dumbest thing ive seen posted this year" and im truly honored

Fascism is bad, actually.

Arguing with fascists is ineffective and counterproductive. Don't waste your time.
