Yuuup. They're trying to start the narrative "EITHER TRUMP* OR NEWSOM" way in advance to get their own hold on the status quo, and so they can blame minoritized people if the bigger baddies win again.

*Vance, realistically speaking.

Liberals do so love to feign shock when you suggest a third option over 1. The thing that's bad for all, or 2. The thing that's great for them and awful for others.

It's how they embody "I don't care if you get yours as long as I've got mine" while still feeding the fantasy of being good people.

Conservatives, naturally, are freaking out about this, betraying their dedication to a status quo they know is violent, but it's officially at odds with what the majority of new Canadian voters believe and value.

A future built on truth and unity is coming. Keep holding it up as the goal.

The majority of Canadian youth believe that "Canada" belongs to Indigenous Nations.

Our leaders hid the truth of colonization from us because they know that people overwhelmingly trend toward justice and kindness. They know lies are necessary to keep us complicit.

Wild watching Kash Patel and Pam Bondi continue to knob-slob the administration like they, a Brown man and White woman, weren't hired in their roles specifically to take the fall the second it becomes politically convenient.

The only thing more pathetic than a fascist leader is a fascist follower.

Around her neck, she wears a long necklace with a large, round pendant.

🚨I am a mother of three children trapped in northern Gaza, in a dangerous combat zone. 💔

We were told to evacuate, but I cannot afford the $3,000 cost.
We are surrounded by constant shelling, and my husband is far away from us.😭

Please, save my children.🙏

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The right wing uses bots to create the illusion of widespread support. They only have lies. The vast majority of people disagree with them and they know it.

Repost with your tips for bot spotting: On YouTube, inflammatory comments with few or no dislikes is usually an indicator.

Just saw a <500 sub YouTube channel discussing this and the comments section had a whole bunch of obvious bot replies. That in itself is damning af.

These people are so obvious, it's almost as embarrassing as it is dangerous.

This is how far they're going with the propaganda bullshit.

People have already identified this thug as the same one that Fox News had on as a "fomer gang member"

The people who enable this violence are the same ones who will scream about “erasing history” when a shoddy art project commemorating some confederate slavery enthusiast gets removed from a public space.
