MODERATORS
Republicans have been repeating this line since the Clinton Administration (at least).
Historically, the actual elected representatives would be going on network news and having "debates" that merely implied it, while hatchetfolks like Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity made the claim explicit. But now the Kool-aid vendors have become the Kool-aid drinkers. Trump's as saturated in this propaganda as anyone else in the party. So he's just saying the quiet part out loud, because its what the conservative Boomer/Millennial base has been indoctrinated into believing.
I mentioned at work, when the conversation turned to the shutdown and the blame was firmly placed on democrats, that both chambers of the legislature and the executive branch are controlled by the same party. And of course o got push back that it's all because the democrats wouldn't compromise. And it just feeds like I'm continually slamming my head into a wall when talking to these regular everyday people. The propaganda is so pervasive, it feels like, what even is the point? How do we break our coworkers/family/friends/etc out of the lock? That is the part that I don't understand.
“Why would democrats compromise when the Republican regime is ending healthcare for millions just so a few billionaires can pay even less in taxes than they already do? Don’t you think rural communities should have access to hospitals?”
Ironically, the Dems are refusing compromise largely to protect Republican constituents. This is one of our best opportunities to remove the wool from their eyes. Try to find a way to break through if you can.
There's no left information propaganda channel like fox news and there needs to be...where the heck is Bloomberg and his money funding a media empire? These people are controlled and "Informed" solely by TV and their peers who watch TV and fox news has been the poison for a decade.
You don't.
War is politics when all other means of discourse have failed.

Secondary reminder that the man literally demonizing his opponents has declared it to be criminal to criticise him or his cronies by accurately describing them with politically descriptive nouns or adjectives.
This doesn't just go away with the next midterms people, there ain't gonna be no next midterms, not meaningfully anyway, unless people actually do something to stop and depose this fucking madman.
Which is why I remind people at every opportunity that he really, sincerely, is unhinged.
This goes way beyond political rhetoric and hyperbole - he's bludgeoningly obviously profoundly mentally ill.
Much is unsurprisingly made of the march to fascism under his administration, but the thing is that that's really being accomplished by the people around him. He isn't leading the country to fascism or to any other thing. He's just sitting there in the Oval Office, surrounded by bright shinies, doing whatever his warped perceptions and stunted emotions compel him to do, And it's just convenient for the fascists that the natural instincts of a fragile, delusional, sociopathic egomaniac, toxic narcissist and craven bully with the emotional development of a toddler lend themselves so well to fascism.

Trump is labeling half the US as “others” and getting nastier in messaging instead of referring to us as fellow Americans. They’re all normalizing this through repetition so that when they do come for us, no one bats an eye.
I will bat more than an eye and I'm sure many others will as well. Some are already doing so. I have yet to experience any of this firsthand but if the day comes when I have to choose between watching violence being done to my fellow citizens and stopping said violence I know what I will choose.

Just a much needed reminder that an overwhelming majority of Americans, even in MAGA, want to see the Epstein files.
The release of the files would do nothing. His base would still support him. There could he undeniable evidence that he fucks children and they would justify it. Trump is above the law. He will never be ousted.
I would agree, but if anything was made obvious is that he absolutely does not want those files released. Whatever is in there has got him terrified.
I WISH the Democrats were that cool
Uh... if you like your Wicca, you can keep it.
Satanic Temple are good people. I'm proud to be associated with them. They are what Christians SHOULD BE if they followed ol JC's advice...
Hail satan

You're the one DEFINITELY FUCKING Satan, bro
Ah yes. The party of Satan, who would forcefully drag children out of their homes to send them to an unkown place. Typical satanic dem behaviour. ... Oh no, wait. /s
No, I am a Satanist and the Dems revolt at my existence too
I choose Satan over the party of Pedophiles.
It reminds me of that video of the Christian woman turning a can of Monster upsidedown at saying "666 the sign of the devil"
So Trump is now a shitposter
And yet, he keeps doing his best to mimic the supposed coming of the Anti-Christ. Just more Trump/Republican projection I guess.
Satan's only crime was telling the truth. Figures this orange freak would hate him.
Im independent but If he keeps making them sound so metal and cool I may just register as a Democrat now.
A mass of independents registering Democrat (and then showing up to the primary) is exactly what the party needs
PROJECTION. It’s just and only projection of what they see in themselves
He would know, after all, he's sleeping with Satan, and has fathered a child with him.
No one needs to be "given a message" to hate trump. It's the natural stance taken upon hearing even 1% of what he is about. We don't "hate" easily, he's just that easy to hate.
🤘
Reminded me that I read recently that the beleif system that eventually became Christianity started off wth multiple gods and the one they choose to make the monotheistic beliefs about was their god of DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, while Baal--Satan--was actually kind of a cool dude.
We already knew he's screwing satan.
Headline should be, worlds most hated massively obese pedophile tries to weaponize religion against the poor.

It really is always projection, isn't it?
Hail Satan.
Unhinged? That's his average
Nah the Christofascism is actually pretty new for him. No one with a brain thinks he's ever been a true(ish) believer fanatic type, my money is this is the result of him realizing he's about to die and being surrounded by actual Christofascist types like Hegsweth.
No one with a brain, sure, but we’re talking about the US here. Too many people to handwave think he’snthe second coming of Christ or was chosen by god for a holy mission.
Those were better times
God it's like listening to my mom ranting and raving at junior high me circa 1997. He gonna confiscate my black t-shirts and devil music CDs too?
What’re these? Drums? Guitar noises?? Why not just invite the Dark Lord to dinner?!
