Re MAGA - typical of people in a totalitarian state. They suck up to the lie even when they know it's a lie. Weird mix of gullibility and cynicism. All this warped nonsense cracks when the leader dies.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
