(this is me being polite, okay?)

Which then brings me to the one grand unifying theory of "don't make him hit you" the libs seem to be pedaling around - the short version is something like, don't do anything that "allows" Trump to (credibly, i guess?) invoke the Insurrection Act, which is sometimes paired with the theory he will use doing so to cancel the elections. As if these are all reasonable things, a President can just do and you know, we gotta take that.

To which I will remind you, that they just shot a 37 year old white mother of 3 on fucking camera, and are pretending she was a terrorist and that made it cool that they murdered her actually. You're taking about a President running something like 8 simultaneous states of emergency, all fucking made up, to amass as much power and wealth as he can through the office. A guy who made up an invasion by a Venezuelan gang that's barely in the US, to ship ppl to concentration camps.

And like, I dunno, I would be extremely worried about whether or not you're going to have free and fair elections, the Nazis can lose, or even any elections at all. Like the guy keeps saying he's staying in so many ways, and gonna rig em in so many ways, and even if he loses he's made it clear he will try to invalidate results he doesn't like, in so many ways.

So any strategy that starts with "let fascists brutalize you and your neighbors till November" seems, well, questionable.

He is, what he looks like. This is, what it looks like. You are being occupied by a fascist culture based in Red State America, through the use of US military and counter terrorism assets, and a private paramilitary police force controlled directly by our beloved would be Hitler.

It doesn't get easier from here. So, I dunno man. Trump can't succeed if everyone shuts it down together - but it's pretty fucking scary that it looks like our opposition party would rather do hard time than tell you.

I know, and you know, they're fascists. I know and you know, they're occupying a whole city. I know and you know, they are committing violent crimes, and brazen civil rights violations on the hour. And even to some degree, the liberal establishment is acknowledging all this.

And yet... at every turn these people, your leaders, i guess our fucking leaders whether I like it or not, are eating that boot. Or standing around looking gravely into the camera and sputtering nonsense.

No, I mean what I definitely want is President Dealz to fuck off and redacted

But like, I am beginning to have doubts that is going to occur before he successfully does the whole Hitler thing. It's concerning to see "opposition" leadership shrink in this moment, and even threaten to turn on their own base. You hear it in their language, like somehow neighbors out in the street protecting neighbors is just some kinda disruptive protest. It's terrifying, and then enraging at turns.

And btw? The Epstein ring might be the best real time example I can show you about how to tell the difference between an unhinged winger conspiracy, and a horrifying an inconvenient truth about our ruling class. It's just like I always told you right? There truly are no secrets, only things we refuse to talk about. Epstein's dirt been in the wind for almost two decades. You heard about it. Evidence cropped up. But it was marginalized outside the discourse. That's how the REAL shit works.

I mean look, let's just be clear - FIFA is one of the most corrupt organizations on Earth, the World Cup has been a shitshow for a while, and it is not even remotely off brand for them to host it in a fascist country because "money."

But also it is actually kinda funny that fucking QATAR was smart enough to say "listen, we absolutely promise we will not torture soccer gays - please come spend money" and the United States is incapable of doing the same re: ICE. Says a LOT about this admin.

FIFA: "Okay we put the World Cup in a fascist dictatorship in progress; but I'm sure for every global football fan who cancels, we'll definitely get two racists who hate soccer to buy some of the most expensive tickets to a sporting event on earth."
