Interesting to not care about the actions & demands of millions of their constituents. What a prefect way to announce a monarchy. Sounds a bit like, "let them eat cake."

Trump should be scared of this. Trump should be very nervous about millions of people cheering for the end of his unconstitutional, authoritarian power grab

Nah unless you’re researching them for the public good (reporter, sociologist, etc.) I promise you can just assume that they’re trolling with the intention of making you so upset you don’t have any energy to resist them.

They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life.

Excellent block list!

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Congressional Republicans have abandoned their responsibility.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d

Republicans in charge of Congress have abdicated all responsibility for governing the nation to Trump. There are no checks. There are no balances. No Kings.

"Pearl clutching?" They were casually & disgustingly racist, & excitedly imagining rape, & gas chambers. Vile.

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 4d

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.
