I guess when you're terrified of everything, everything looks like terrorism.

Well, yeah, MAGA is a death cult.
Like all religious terror groups, they think they're going to heaven forever - be it the Christian version or the techbro AI cloud - so they have no reason to value life in this world.
They have completely divorced themselves from reality.

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.
there is no more shared reality. www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/p...

You all know the US isn't going to recover, right?
Like, we might have some economic power, but the world actually needs to do everything it can to come together and stop us from ever having the influence we've had since WWII, ever again.
We're too broken to be trusted.

I sometimes think people think I'm kidding or engaged in hyperbole when I say things like "hang every billionaire" and no I'm not.
I literally, truly believe that billionaires are an existential threats to humanity.
If they don't want to be hanged they can divest.

Trump: "Venezuela sends us people they shouldn't be sending. They emptied their prisons into our country. They sent us killers, murderers, they sent us drug dealers as the highest levels. They sent us people from their mental institutions."

Always really embarrassing to have friends in town now that there are big "Dear Leader" posters of Trump glaring at you all over DC.
They hang them high because they know those posters would be covered in piss if they were close enough to reach.

The U.S. constitution is widely considered the hardest constitution in the world to amend.
The U.S. Senate is the only legislative body in the democratic world which requires a supermajority for normal legislation.
The U.S. is one of the only advanced democracies with a two-party system.

I'm listening to the audiobooks of all of Stephen King's novels in order of publication.
I've read all his books before, but they're hitting different now.
Maybe it's because I'm now in my 40s and the reality touches harder than the fantastic.

I am broke as fuck but I will send one hundred earth dollars to the journalist who asks this man to his face at a presser why he never knows about a single thing that's going on.

Real fun watching Anderson Cooper blow a con man on 60 Minutes late night.
I used to respect Cooper, but that Polymarket piece was a fucking commercial, not an interview. He barely got Shayne Coplin's junk out of his mouth long enough to mention the legal scandals and political ties.

The problem with this logic is the problem that's always been there in the "War on Srugs" and the "War on Terror."
The regime can always justify any atrocity by designating their victims as enemy combatants, for whom there are no constitutional or human rights protections.

Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."
