The unholy trinity of the gop powerbrokers in your standard rural area:

- Monopoly owners (car dealerships)
- The one property owner who owns everything
- the really sketchy dentist.
De facto outlawing of car dealers and realtors as currently constituted would be a good aim for a starting point

Now, ordering federal LE to shift focus into red states, especially with regard to tax evasion and wire fraud, well
I absolutely want the next D prez to send NG into red states and rural areas tho.

It’s not even “are these people racist?” It’s “do these people have any beliefs at all besides white supremacy?”

The idea that we need to deport 100 million people - almost one out of every three Americans! - was, a year ago, a deranged claim you’d hear from neo-Nazis to give themselves permission for limitless mass violence. Now it’s coming directly from this horrific agency’s horrific press office

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.

It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

also honestly not enough is said that Trump's political strength (which is really a low ceiling and high floor imo) is sourced from DECADES of being directly associated with opulence and business success, which is not replicable
Trump as the first fandom president makes a lot of sense to me
It's just that as we lurch further into fandom politics we don't have the institutional glue to create and sustain majorities so instead the lockout is really a bank shot about negatively polarizing a critical mass of voters against the other guy

The “fun” thing about the kennedy center freakout is that conservatives have been carving out “creative” exceptions to anti discrimination laws so they can be bigots to ordinary people just trying to make a purchase, but if actual artists don’t want to perform for the god king they must be punished

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

Speaking as someone who just wrote a book on the Manhattan Project, I can assure you that refugee immigrants were the *entire* reason the US mastered the atom first. The most chilling part of writing my book was reading about them fleeing fascism … abroad. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

🧵 An alternate historical novel was written by Philip Roth, THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA. Limited series by David Simon. Stephen Miller should watch it.

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

the funny thing about the insult "BlueMAGA" is it doesn't and can't exist, like I get its an easy buzz word but like no one can explain what its supposed to be

what is MAGA? well its either a cult like devotion to Trump, or a white nationalist movement (or both)

so whats BlueMAGA?

New College is a DeSantis pet project, a Potemkin Campus that must be made real at any cost. While the NY Times notes it is the most expensive in the state, it does not tell readers what an extraordinary outlier it is. Freedom isn’t free, and a right-wing campus makeover is very expensive it seems.

I think one of the defining things about our era and about conservativism, is an inability to distinguish between like, the actual government, and mid-level marketing managers at Target (who choose "happy holidays" to avoid leaving out non-Christian customers)
In retrospect the Bush-era War On Christmas stuff seems more ominous than it did at the time. It was just cable news guys crying about dumb/fake shit, then and now; I mean the campaign to turn Christmas, which most everyone likes and feels warmly about, into just another thing to get mad about.

See also the persistent anger among conservatives about seeing gay or interracial couples in TV commercials. The government doesn't decide what's on your TV, but to them "the government" is a parent-like concept that substitutes for anyone who runs anything in society
