Those who believe that this call to action is an overstatement of the threat understand neither the nature of the tyrant-in-chief nor the slow but inexorable nature of how democracies are lost. I witnessed Trump’s cruelty and lack of empathy as I dealt with him during the Covid pandemic, as he willfully withheld help and then consciously spread misinformation that caused so many needless deaths. Anyone who saw this up close would make the call for resistance I am making today. How can anyone not understand that the refusal to follow the law on January 6 continues in full force today? Why would it stop unless it is made to stop?
Interesting to see how more American politicians are choosing to publish in The Guardian. And by “interesting,” I mean “pretty damn alarming.”
Right now if their lives were to become completely unaffordable they would blame “libs”, trans people and non-whites. Fascism tends to become more popular when times are tough, not less. So it’s hard to see the way through this except through some kind of violent conflict, or a depression so long and harsh that it becomes impossible to pretend the current government isn’t responsible. But that would also give this regime time to consolidate its power.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to blame your woes on those less fortunate?
Yep, my life is shit because the androgynous bagger at HEB has tattoos and a septum piercing. Has nothing to do with government policies, nor corporate greed.
Stupid enough to vote for a ‘joe the plumber’ loving populist notorious for stiffing his contractors.
Paying bills is for the poors.
