as though their goddamned memories had been wiped clean, that I and people like me were overreacting to the 2024 election results, and that we should give the then-soon-to-be-47th-president a chance.

You. F***ing. Idiots.

who forgot just how absolutely awful, disgusting, dangerous and incompetent he proved to be during the course of his first term and never apologized for pooh-poohing my concerns and the concerns of others like me, who decided to vote for him again in 2020 and/or 2024, and who claimed, yet again,

It is difficult to be both petty and dangerously authoritarian at the same time, but somehow, these people-resembling-things manage.

This kind of salubrious development would have given other aspiring American tyrannies pause, but the Trump Nazi regime’s response is to order troops from the *California* National Guard to go to Portland.

Yesterday, a federal court put a halt to Trump Nazi regime plans to federalize the Oregon National Guard and use them in Portland against the supposed “war zone” that the Trump Nazi regime claims exists in the city.

If Robert George really believes that the Biden administration engaged in First Amendment violations that were anywhere in the same universe as those the Trump administration is currently engaging in, then I am here to tell you that Robert George is a moron who cannot be taken seriously.

The Trumpenvolk are fascists. They always have been fascists. They will remain fascists to their very last breath. And as far as they are concerned, Charlie Kirk's death is a wonderful thing because it is going to give them a chance to let the freak fascist flag fly.
