They act like it’s the second coming of the 1000-year reich. They have absolutely no intention of relinquishing power—ever, in any circumstance.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Nothing on the web really disappears.

Doesn't sound so bad.

So there was no moon landing, but the Jews managed to deploy lasers in space? 🤔

Those Jews are really good.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Would that help with the Nobel?

À Marseille, la probabilité que ce soit “Pétain” est vraiment très faible. Mais tant qu’elle ne chante pas “Maréchal, nous voilà”, c’est pas grave.

Imagine how much world leaders are making fun of Trump far from the cameras. This is the tip of the iceberg.

Okay, let’s agree to agree 😉

Jean Salvati @jean-salvati.bsky.social · 8d

And I disagree. Both Star Wars and Starship Troopers have clear references to the fascism of the 1930’s. And you really don’t need either, or video games, to explain MAGA. Yes, a lot of kids choose to play the Empire or the Nazis in video games. But this type of kid has always existed.

Jean Salvati @jean-salvati.bsky.social · 8d

There has always been a dark side and fascists are nothing new. Obviously, they express themselves in different ways in different eras. There’s nothing fundamentally novel about MAGA. Nothing to do with modern pop culture.

Jean Salvati @jean-salvati.bsky.social · 8d

Ideologically, there’s nothing fundamentally novel about MAGA

Jean Salvati @jean-salvati.bsky.social · 8d

Maybe I missed your point, but I think you’re confusing cause with symptoms. Video games didn’t exist in the 1930’s.

Jean Salvati @jean-salvati.bsky.social · 8d

Video games and Star Wars didn’t exist in the 1930’s

Jean Salvati @jean-salvati.bsky.social · 8d

They look thrilled

Jean Salvati @jean-salvati.bsky.social · 8d

Like the Nazis before, they have a very selective notion of humanity.

If you’re not white, “Christian” (of their twisted flavor of Christianism) and MAGA, you’re probably sub-human.

A military coup to end the nightmare wouldn’t be nearly as bad as the nightmare itself. Just sayin’…

This is a very good point. Military leaders can and should refuse unlawful orders.
