Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system.
To counter Trump’s fake populism and his culture wars, progressives should mount a real battle against economic elites who have shafted America’s middle and working classes.

Q: Why does Trump fall asleep every time he sits down in public?!
A: The only alternative is to pump him full of stimulants, as they did a few nights ago for his ‘speech.’ Then, instead of a sleeping, elderly dementia patient, you have an enraged imbecile screaming at the world.
