If MAGAs really wanted to Make America Great Again they'd bring back the pre-Reagan corporate tax rates.

The right's platform is now:
- Mass deportations; militarized border.
- Ending of birthright citizenship.
- NATO skeptic, isolationist, even pro-Russia at times.
- Great Replacement theory.
- Protectionist trade policy.

These were fringe not long ago but have been mainstreamed.

We've gone from "KAMALA LIES! TRUMP WON'T SEND THE ARMY AFTER YOU!" to "yeah, Trump is sending the National Guard into cities but it's necessary to fight crime enabled by Biden." And many other cases.

It must be nice to never have to admit you were wrong.

The blatant corruption, militarism, surveillance, suppression of opposition, and unconcern for its people who are struggling. The leadership isn't as extreme but is beginning to resemble leadership in Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, the DRC.

I'd be scared too if I had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with a teletubby.

No shortage of right-leaning folks who are "straight but always wanted to do it with a trans." They just aren't open about it.

If you're disgusted by what they do in the open, it's unthinkable what ICE thugs do to detainees when no one is looking.

Hundreds of immigrants have reported sexual abuse at ICE facilities. Most cases aren't investigated

Records obtained by Futuro Investigates reveal a systemic pattern of abuse by detention officers, contractual guards, and ICE employees, accused of sexually assaulting people in their care.

Yeah but the bill had "transgender for everybody" and mansions for illegal aliens written in it.

Show up and demonstrate peacefully. Lots of organized groups have safety patrols and are in coordination with local law enforcement.
Use positive protest signs in defense of human rights and democracy.
Be joyful but defiant. They hate that. ✌️
