Trump moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Just a random thing he did though and means nothing I’m sure, right?

Ohhhhh ok well in that case… 🙄

We’re going to end up like fucking Dubai. In all the worst ways.

Lol you just said liberalism is the same as fascism… Stopped reading there.

Also helps when you see a user you previously tagged confirming that you were correct the first time.

Completely ignoring the make up of Congress during Obama’s second term seems kind of disingenuous…

Now that I’m old enough to remember shit that happened decades ago, it is absolutely wild how easy it is to convince people, on a massive scale, to remember things differently than how they actually happened.

It’s actually terrifying.

It’s no coincidence that the precipitous rise in American fascism began at the exact time that “the greatest generation” died out… You know, the ones who actually remembered what it was like the last time.

This isn’t about the fucking Democrats, Jesus fuck. This is (was) about literally saving the union from bald faced, open fascism where people WILL die.

You allow your complete disdain for the Democratic party to blind you to the actual reality of the situation. And then act all sanctimonious because you think you took some kind of moral high ground.

Shit makes me want to vomit.

I don’t think Seth would. I don’t know a ton about him, but I do know that he is very sharp, and would have no issues finding work elsewhere.

It would be extremely disappointing to see him actually apologize.

“Free speech absolutism”

I’m sure the Green Party will be doing this too, and won’t just vanish without a trace for four years. Because they’re totally a real party.

Fucking unreal that we considered them that at all. I can’t recall a single thing that Cuba (or a Cuban national) has done that could be considered terrorism since the Cuban Missile Crisis 80+ fucking years ago.

Though it’s the US, so we probably consider having world-class health care providers to be “terrorism.”

Yep, that’s certainly one major aspect. And just look at all of the corporations already bending the knee and the guy isn’t even in office yet.

Sorry man, I’m not going to suddenly start giving a shit about what Mitt Romney says, just because it seems to align with my already held beliefs.

Billionaires or not, they don’t have control of state militaries (yet at least). In fascism, the state is at the top, and corporations bend the knee and become an extension of the government to be used at the whims of its authoritarian leader.

What it ultimately comes down to is power and the capacity for violence. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, if a government can just drone strike your entire family, does it?

Challenge accepted.

Yeah, but there was that one time that she mistakenly repeated a piece of family lore about possible Native American blood in her family several generations prior. A claim that, as a kid growing up in the 90s, was all over the fucking place…

And we all know what that means… PURITY TEST FAILED.

It applies to whatever they goddamn please now.

I immediately stopped reading after, “there is a ceasefire deal.”

Did you just start paying attention? Do you think this would be the first (or last) ceasefire that Israel breaks?

That’s why margins of error exist.

Since the people in charge went full fascist.
