Former Republican who disavowed and left the GOP 15 years ago when it moved too far right, abandoned any principles, and became irredeemably stupid.

Actually, come to think of it, I came here from Twitter for pretty much the same reasons.

You can tell this AI slop is targeted specifically to right-wing MAGA types, and it's wildly appropriate that their particular demographic is the one deemed most likely to consume literal fake history made from stolen work and only created to make a quick buck at the expense of actual artists.

Continuing the embarrassment of how obvious the universe is making things so some idiots out there can understand EXACTLY how bad these people are, they've now moved on to murder things that are not only Good, but also Pretti.

If your last name is something like Honest or True, I'd be VERY careful.
Right? Her name was Good.

This whole thread is just perfect.
These guys are so clearly terrified. Spooked by their own wrongdoing. Alarmed that it’s all being recorded and disseminated before they can rewrite the story. Each bystander has a billion eyes, a billion ears. This is not what they signed up for. The recruitment propaganda promised glory, power, and

Dear journalists: for the love of god, please stop suggesting that the Republicans in Congress are somehow just victims of Trump and are like scared children, and too scared to fight back.

They're not.

They're an integral, WILLING part of this entire fascist regime. They are abusers, not victims.
"We are watching one of the wildest things a nation state has ever done. A super power is dying by suicide because the Republican Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest momements in geopolitics ever."

Just a reminder that this regime WILL enable Martial Law/ Insurrection Act/ State of Emergency at SOME point down the line as their "justification" to murder people.

Don't let a fear of giving Evil People an "excuse" to do WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ANYWAY stop you from still doing The Right Thing.
January 15, 2026 at 3:31 PM
Just a reminder for folks who still wonder why this regime's appointees are SO BAD at their jobs:

If someone entirely incompetent, clueless, and openly antagonistic to something is put in charge of it, they are not being put there to RUN that thing, they are being put there to DESTROY that thing.

Hell, we've seen that MAGA would have been actual full collaborators with Great Britain during the American Revolution, and would be donning red coats and shooting at their fellow colonists in a heartbeat.
Imagine if maga influencers were around for the revolution

They'd be condemning people for protesting and not going to work.

The amount of these click baiting, rage baiting, manipulative fucks is incredible.

While they denounce people for being at protests, they lick the boots worn by pure hate

The solution for curing the divisions of America is to refuse to become a part of them and to refuse the scapegoating of our neighbors.

Tell me again, optimists, exactly how is this fascist regime is somehow crumbling by the day, and all we have to do is just "win in the midterms" or some such…?

Shit like this has far, FAR more reaching consequences than a federal judge telling them no in a VERY stern voice again.

We'll need MORE.
This is a terrifying blow to democracy. Without impartial news, every American loses. This administration’s tendrils have far-reaching consequences for our future and present.
This is a tremendous loss for our country and for our democracy. There is no finer news program than @pbsnews.org NewsHour.

It’s like the healthy vegetables of news media. And it’s another nutritious item in our national diet that they have now bluntly eliminated.
January 10, 2026 at 5:01 PM
Knowing how this fascist regime likes to operate, this feels like it will be used for gaslighting, or just to seed disinformation about upcoming Democratic elections.

I think many of us have mentioned exactly how poorly-written of a book the last decade would have been. Bad Guys so blatantly, cartoonishly, OBVIOUSLY evil, any decent editor would have sent the whole thing back for a rewrite.

The Bad Guys murdered someone named Good.

If you STILL have an account on Twitter, maaaaaaaybe this should be the final clarion call for you to delete it entirely.

I know you may have built your entire business/brand/reputation on your Twitter account originally… but THIS is what is being associated with YOUR business/brand/reputation NOW.

"Might makes right" are some bold words coming from Stephen Miller, who seems like the sort of guy who STILL gets beaten up for his lunch money by middle schoolers.
"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

The German language has a fascinating word for what's happening here: Lebensraum. The globe was warned to prepare for a retelling of WWII, but one as if Germany had a military budget greater than the next 9 countries combined.

And here we go.

The rest of the world better evict their US bases NOW.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland
January 6, 2026 at 7:42 PM
I don't know who needs to hear this, but NOTHING this fascist regime ever does is a "distraction" from the Epstein files (or anything else, for that matter).

They are not doing current evil to DISTRACT US from them doing past evil, they are doing current evil IN ADDITION to them doing past evil.
January 6, 2026 at 2:42 PM
Honestly, for all Trump's rambling over the past year, I had fully expected Greenland to be the Poland to this regime's wanna-be Nazi Reich.

In retrospect, it seems obvious, but I hadn't expected Venezuela to be the first country Trump would break the UN charter with to start off the US Lebensraum.
January 5, 2026 at 10:14 PM
One would think that Trump, of all people, would not want to normalize the idea of foreign nations making an illegal military strike to kidnap a country's serial criminal leader who had achieved the Presidency by nefarious means and was destroying their own country as its narcissistic dictator.
