    In January 2020, Trump drone strike a Major General in Iran and nearly started WW3. COVID prevented that from happening.

    Trump is the proof any arrogant moron can have a successful life if he inherits a shit-ton of money.

    The US needs a real inheritance tax

      That would be good but that’s not going to solve this. There is rot at the core of American culture and Trump is the inevitable culmination of it. There’s no single rule that can be changed to fix this.

        Each rule we change fixes some of the rot. It’s like a journey. Think of it like walking from California to New York. It’s not something that happens in one day. People may tell you that you cannot do it, but you can. Those who put in the work will be rewarded. Passing an inheritance tax would be like successfully walking from California to Colorado. Not there yet but you made progress.

        Except with politics it’s easier, instead of needing to do the whole walk ourselves we can each contribute a small amount of walking based on what’s within our means and that walking we contribute collectively adds up to the journey and together we can achieve the journey much easier.

          That would be nice except as it stands Americans are getting pushed out into the pacific to drown. The balance of power between working people and wealthy elites has to shift before any meaningful progress is possible.

          Well said. It’s all about bending the curve in the right direction, enough little changes make up to a complete change in direction. I feel like that’s one of our big problems, people want the easy button now, instead of understanding that it takes diligence and work to get shit done.

        No no, it’s Russia. They posted a frog pic on Twitter, which forced the population to vote for Trump. We can not allow such foreign interference. Anyone seen my AIPAC check?

    Trump tweets or Trump quotes never age well.

    This is because Trump is a nincompoop who speaks in gobbledygook…

      Don’t crack jokes that that. Itninfantilizes and minimizes his abject evil. He represents pure fucking bigotry, racism, hatred, greed, and evil.

      He is not a nincompoop. He is a fucking evil piece of complete and utter shit, constantly trampling others and leaving pure destruction in his wake.

        BlueSky banned me for the usual reason: telling everyone to arm up because they are dealing with Nazis. You can’t promote violence against people who are killing, kidnapping, sex trafficking children, and exporting citizens to concentration camps and violent foreign prisons.

        Gee wonder why they keep losing …

      How is this a short history of liberalism? Historically, the liberal nations beat the fascist ones.

      If this is in reference to Trump, then that’s an ongoing fight. Judges are generally doing what they can to stop his actions, even those appointed by Trump, to his chagrin. Given his rapid dip in popularity and historical trends, I would also expect Republicans to fare worse in Congress in the mid term election, meaning we can expect more pushback there too. Maybe even proper impeachment, but that might be too much to hope for right now. But I view it as a sign that the liberal system is working that he keeps running into checks and balances issues.

      I might get downvoted to hell for this but if we silence fascists then isn’t it just a slippery slope to fascism? Unless people explicitly threaten people then most things should be fair game.

      I mean I’m all for being against fascists but this should be more a social thing. Sure I hate Trump flags but it’s not reasonable to put all Trump supporters in jail

        By that logic, banning people from listing false ingredients on medicines is a slippery slope to totalitarian censorship.

        For example: InfoWars and Turning Point and Fox and OAN engage in NON-STOP HYPERBOLIC STOCHASTIC TERRORISM as does trump himself. Liberals defend their free speech while crushing mine for saying they have to be stopped through invoking the 2A. They have done ACTUAL harm and violence and liberals are STILL defending their rights to expand their violence. This was exactly how the Ruwandan genocide happened.

        I would settle for putting all of the Trump supporters that are breaking the law to be put in jail. As of right now, that’s not happening.

        Violence is a founding principle of fascism. You can’t establish a dictatorship without violence. The ideology is an explicit threat.

        Depends on what you call silencing. To me, it looks like the tolerance paradox.

        We can’t be tolerant of intolerant people (fascists fall in that category).

        So you agree there are things that should be silenced.

        Isn’t silencing calls to violence also a slippery slope?
