A US citizen hoping we can stop the fascists and pre-obedience cowards from turning the US into Putin's Russia.

I keep thinking back to one time ~6 to 8 years ago when I made small talk with a journalist at a trade show. He was from Russia. He told me how in Russia cable news / TV networks liked how US media companies were gaining viewership and revenue with bullshit "news" programs that blurred facts.

The fascists are going ape shit. When they tell you they are for free speech, they are lying. They mean let them spew hate speech. For everyone else, they will weaponize government as much as they can get away with. Fascism.

In Tennessee, sharing a Trump meme in a local Facebook group could get you charged with a Class E felony for ‘threatening mass violence.’

That's right - it is Republicans who are trying to spread Sharia Law in the US. Mark my words - this is tied to massive grift.

Qatar, a Shariah Law Middle Eastern kingdom that is one of the state sponsors of Hamas, gets an Air Force base in… Idaho.

(#Idaho is in America.)

Republicans whined for decades that Dems wanted Sharia Law in the U.S. but Trump actually delivered it in less than 9 months.

Oh sure, because paper ballots are SO difficult to rig. See, this is why I keep saying we should do something about this dictatorship NOW and not wait for elections next year. But no one seems to give a fuck.

The problem will be multiple layers of election fraud in red states. And this is just one layer.

Trump just said some federal employees “don’t deserve to be taken care of.” That’s not leadership, it’s cruelty.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are working or waiting without pay, and the president seems proud of it.

We need a leader who reopens government, not one who weaponizes it.

Trump is an imbecile, as are R voters. He will only cut "Democrat programs," whatever that is. Those programs mostly help poor Republican voters.

What a stupid country I live in. Maybe the lazy and ignorant people who can't be bothered to vote can wake up? It might be too late now tho.

Only join this if you are a fascist who wants to go to jail once we fix things.

I just saw a commercial promoting people to join ICE. Turns out it’s part of a nationwide DHS recruitment push called “Defend the Homeland.”
