It is not yet a hot war, but we cannot share a republic of laws with the current Republican party, and especially not with the crop of young Republicans coming up.

Republicans are imperialist authoritarians example #53689

All soldiers are just normal flawed humans, no matter what evil government they serve, and their deaths are always tragedies. But every soldier that participates in a war of aggression is a legitimate target of a violent just defense from the violated country or people.

There is a reckoning coming. You cannot have an ever-radicalizing political party with a white ethnostate as its ultimate policy goal and the bottom not fall out at some point.

This is an explicit call for violence.

Shit of the traditional five major powers, the US is clearly the least evil.

The Trump regime's partiality to ICE and CBP started in the first Trump term, partially with the goal of making the institutions reliant on MAGA's continued political power, therefore turning them into armed political militia organizations within the state.

Making it illegal to hold federal agents accountable does not mean people will stop holding them accountable. But I don't think the admin is considering what it looks like once normal people begin embracing illegal forms of holding these agents accountable.

Honestly, the disgusting desire to reduce the franchise of citizenship espoused by these trash is making me into a near open borders guy.

Spent Christmas Eve taking over my apartment since my roommate moved out today. Which is a weird but cool way to spend it honestly.

Those that participate or advocate for this regime are no better than the Nazis or the slavers of old. Their defeat is the only objective. Whatever better world we build must come atop the ashes and bones of MAGA.

These people are already at war with you.

I am pretty definitionally moderate: regulated capitalism, free (import/export) markets, robust welfare system (not fully sold on Medicare for all), plus gun owner, Catholic, LGBT. I could continue It is also my only goal in life at this point to see the complete destruction of the Republican Party

trump is evil. we can just call him that. we do not have to medicalise it; it is at this point actively harmful to both the discourse and to, like, actual real-live perfectly-functional friendly and charming sociopaths to call him a Sociopathic Narcissist or whatever he's just evil. full stop.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

You are already at war with these people, because they are at war with you.

liberalism is going to require something martial and vicious and somewhat fanatic if we want it to survive. it won't be the liberalism we grew up with. it will be an uglier, harder thing for an uglier, harder world.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

Average Americans are going to need to understand that a decent chunk of the population will stand by and let blood and soil fascists hold every measure of power in the country. This is a difficult pill to swallow, especially when it includes neighbors, friends, parents.

Reading every headline like

MAGA is barbarism posing as strength.

It is crazy to me that we are about to launch a hot conflict in our hemisphere over nothing, and our society is almost completely acting like nothing is going on. Barely any effort to even wag the dog on this. Mass delusion. Makes me feel insane. We are the good Germans.

We all should start saying that Trump is an illegitimate president due to the 14th Amendment’s plain text and his pardons are null and void

MAGA has openly pro-warcrimes since before it was MAGA. Ted Cruz carpet bomb comment. Guys, too young to serve in Vietnam, saying we should have just bombed them more. Comments about nuking Islamic countries on shock jock radio after 9/11. They believe cruelty is strength.

I think the future will require people's opinions on political violence to evolve.

Pretty wild considering how the militia types have talked to each other for 20 years that they are pursuing charges like this based on a conversation allegedly overheard at a Pho restaurant.

Literally laughed out loud.

Which is actually just an open desire to do a holocaust. Which, even if attempted with only the goal of deportation, would still end in a holocaust.

Americans earned their suffering honestly.

Honestly, the biggest mistake in modern American politics was committed by this guy.

Like our forefathers fought them at Yorktown, and at Gettysburg, and in the Ardennes, we will fight them here, and we will win.

Ah, my political philosophy.

I watch History Youtuber beefs like normal people watch Real Housewives shows.

The agency of the Right lunching to the right is not the fault of the Left. And it has ended in curating an authoritarian voter base easily corrupted by MAGA. This is inarguable, no matter how much Never Trumpers wish it weren't so.

"The Right in 2025 Sounds a Lot Like the Nazis in 1925" Today’s far right may know it’s wrong to talk about a “superior race,” so it just frames it as a “superior culture” instead: zeteo.com/p/the-right-...

Protesters have formed a protective wall. Taking the street for real.

How are we to coexist with these people after what they've done to our society? I fear the dehumanization I am feeling towards them.

America collectively made this decision, and until it collectively fixes it, it collectively deserves the disaster. This means a lot of innocent or stupid people are gonna suffer. But it is necessary that the country as a whole finally suffers devastating consequences for giving this GOP power.

There is a deeper scary proposition here about the state of mass media consumption and our narcissistic culture that makes you wonder if they "can't". What if the modern world is incompatible with liberal democracy? A majority that is incapable of figuring out why anything actually happens.

Another 12 hour board game.

Blue State Governors need to move on creating partisan state militias staffed with vets yesterday like their Red State cousins.

Is it too much to ask for Dems to run union workers who only understand labor issues and ruthless cosmopolitans who wake up everyday with a burning hatred of the rurals?

The people behind these accounts must be unmasked.

Everyday my distaste with our current political moment has me feeling something I can only describe as a religious fervor, which is odd as I am certainly not a religious man.
