The assumption appears to be that ordinary voters will be cowed, obsequious, and unwilling to challenge autocracy, just like the billionaires, business leaders, media executives, and other leading institutions of civil society, which have decided that fighting back is “not worth the hassle.”

Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago.

He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

Fires. The military occupation. The ongoing paramilitary occupation. Repeated attacks on peaceful demonstrations by local cops. Continued hardships as the studios don't do more production in the city. Los Angeles is struggling this year. This win means a lot.

who is distracted staring down the barrel of healthcare and food cuts

it's not a distraction

it was an insult, ridden with naked contempt and derision for ordinary citizens, and it should be referred to as such

"he's trying to distract you" no, HE'S SAYING YOU DESERVE TO BE SHIT ON

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Jerome Corsi, a conspiracy theorist who helped popularize QAnon back in 2018, claims he's involved with creating an upcoming Trump EO involving a "national emergency" targeting voter rolls, mandating voter ID, & requiring proof of citizenship. Corsi's also implied the military may be involved.

Election denial figures in podcast interviews & social media have been calling for Trump to declare a “national emergency” to prevent supposed election fraud.

One of them, Jerome Corsi, has claimed he’s involved in drafting an executive order “to be implemented for the" 2026 midterms.
