all they have to do is point at a exploded tesla (which could likely have blown up on its own) and say you did it. now you’re a terrorist. no need for charges. no habeas corpus. no due process. they just didn’t like you

that’s why

holy shit i was thinking exactly that…i wonder how many other people are

i can think of much more exciting things to do if i had a death wish tbh

187 days, if you’re walking continuously 24/7

copying format should be the thing that takes an extra keystroke, not pasting without it

meirl talking to some dude just the other day who was complaining because i was talking mean about trump voters, “just help people to be a better person” etc., but wouldn’t give concrete examples of how to do that with people whose literal goal is to be as shitty as possible

going by the packaging, you’d think those pills will make your junk explode. i was always curious to try one, but kind of scared ngl. guess i’ll wait until if/when i actually need the “help”

it;s been 2 months and look at the damage done. there’s no way in 2 years’ time that they won’t have completely fucked the elections so that they can just overturn the results they don’t like 100% legally

don’t worry, they won’t be indicted anymore soon, once all the judges are replaced and it’d be a waste of time anyway. in fact, producing CSAM might be one of the qualifications for joining the magastan inner party

the power of actual indoctrination (read: cult mind control) at work

It is normal for older people to be jaded

google “is ought”

ever since the “alt-right” days, i’ve been saying stop using the bullshit neutral-sounding terminology they chose for themselves, and call them what they are: fucking nazis

dude…americans OVER 30 are miserable too

Where and when did we fucking go wrong?

it’s a story of corruption, cults, and mind control

no, religion didn’t cause this, but the capacity to believe something to be true just you want it to be true (faith)–and no one’s allowed to criticize your “sincerely held religious beliefs”-- 100% allowed this to happen

edit: finally found the quote i was looking for by barry goldwater:

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.

The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are NOT using their religious clout with WISDOM. I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in ‘A,’ ‘B,’ ‘C,’ and ‘D.’ Just who do they think they are?.. I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of “conservatism.”

unfortunately, as of now, that fight is lost

i hate being stuck in a country that pardons literal insurrectionists and condemns whistleblowers. even before the magatrumpistan takeover, it was the same shit when edward snowden spoke up

LOL as usual, trying to spin it like it’s the people’s own fault they’re getting robbed blind. the worst thing is that the maga cultist sheep will lap it up like hogs at the trough, willingly handing over every last right they didn’t even know they had, while calling themselves the party of “individual liberty and freedom”

trump and his sycophantic goons are actively wrecking this country and democracy. it could be reasonably argued that the point of no return has already passed. it’s really rich that you’re telling ME to “be better” in this situation, but i’ll bite: what’s your suggestion for “help people be better”? inform people who deliberately dismiss facts and evidence they don’t like as “fake news” that they’ve voted for a conman? be specific, because people have been trying the “let’s respect the viewpoint of the rapist felon voters” approach for years, and look at where we are.

so EXACTLY what is it that you think everyone should do?

if you sit down to dinner with 8 people and 1 of them is a nazi, you’re eating dinner with 8 nazis

all of the wrong a lot of these people did was vote for someone because they were told lies about how things would be better…

ok you’re trying to defend trump voters as if they’re somehow “victims of dishonesty.” again, no.

after the first trump term, the abysmal covid response, the 2 impeachments, J6, the classified documents, and on and on and on, while normal people were doing everything they could to convince these people that they’ve been hoodwinked, FOR YEARS, demonstrates that the “let’s talk about it and compromise” approach DOES. NOT. WORK. mockery and ridicule and unwell wishes it is.

again (and again and again), fuck trump, and fuck trump voters. yes i fucking do want them to suffer the way everyone else is suffering. i don’t know what gives you the impression that you’re going to change my mind about that, but i guess…go get’em tiger…?

yea, no.

look where all this “let’s be nice to the very fine people on the nazi side” and tolerance and patience and we’re not going to publish this article because it’ll hurt trump’s feelings has gotten us today. excuse me, but fuck that shit.

you can say i’m a bad person if that makes you feel better, but fuck trump, and fuck everyone who voted for this bullshit that everyone has to deal with now

lol if you’re shocked now, just wait until they get to actually rewriting established, agreed-upon, undisputed history, like deleting articles like this, and then going ahead and deleting the fact that slavery ever even happened in this country

“impossible!! that could never happen!”

it’s literally happening…
