Fascism is something that comes to pass because people allow it to happen.

Fascism is actually something that comes to pass because people vote fascists into office. The Nazis were actually voted into office in Germany. Trump was very candid about what he’ll do once he gets into office and still won a very resounding victory.

Or they just want worse for the minority.

The truth that most people know, but don’t want to say out loud.

They might not have been the deciding factor but they certainly played an important role in handing him the presidency.

The earliest that “lesson” will have any relevance is in 4 years time. In the meantime Trump is going to give Netanyahu everything he needs to quickly level Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon and start construction on a greater Israel. In 4 years time whatever “lesson” the Dems might have learnt will be meaningless.

America is not a nation of mostly good people with a few vocal “bad apples.” We are a nation of hateful, scared bigots, and we proved it in a big way.

A big chunk of the rest of the world have telling you that for decades, but you guys believed the lie about some “shining city upon a hill”. The American dream was always built on the misery of others.

How can someone have four simultaneous citizenships?

My kids are entitled to 5 citizenships. 2 from me and 3 from their mum.

And yet he still got elected to the White House. Let’s get real. This Arlington debacle won’t really do much damage to him.

With the proliferation of actual illegal material on Signal

Signal???

We should be glad that WhatsApp with E2EE is what people jumped to, instead of Facebook Messenger

WhatsApp is part of Facebook. You really think they operate differently?

Republicans support … low economic support

Except for when it comes to GOP public office holders and corporations. In both those cases Republicans support high economic support.

He is a devout Christian. People should stop mistaking “devout” for “pious”, and “Cristian” for “humane”.

Why do so many in policing circles (fbi etc.) support this kind of person? Their stated motivations are completely at odds with actions, it’s mind boggling.

B’cos deeply held personal prejudices will always come first. When they see Trump, or any other scumbag politician, has the same prejudices as them, they see a kindred spirit.

most African Americans would agree …

Another white guy deciding what African Americans want without bothering to ask them.

He’ll keep defaming her because he knows it doesn’t cost him a penny. He knows that he has his legions of mugs and idiots who will keep giving up their social security checks for him.

she sleeps with a piece of thorium under her pillow.

Yikes!

She thinks that nuclear radiation has healing properties

In a way she’s actually not wrong. That’s what radiotherapy is. Focused nuclear radiation to heal cancer.
