You will find no skull on earth that is more hollow than the skull of a dictator simp.
It's why tankies are so insufferable. Not only do they make excuses, or outright cheer, for war crimes and genocides. They're doing it while smugly being the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

The underlying principle of the Trump presidency is that rules are merely instruments of power with no inherent legitimacy. If Clinton or Obama had done this the GOP would have howled for impeachment, and they'd have been right.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
