Right, yes, but the joke is that it’s said in such a way as to sound like an outright fabrication.

Trump was outside the Overton window too.
If her core base doesn’t vote, how does she keep getting elected?
Not unrelated. The Republic is cooked and there’s no going back; nobody believes in it anymore as a functional, legitimate government.
So, the joke here is that you’ve got someone, presumably a Chinese official, saying a reality about America in a startling way that sounds like completely cooked up propaganda but isn’t.
More energy like this from the democrats please. I yearn for these crocodile tears. I would like to wish Marjorie a very merry BAAAWWWWWWWW
If you can just drop a pledge because it gets in the way of you making even more money than you know what to do with, it was never a real pledge in the first place.
Probably the easiest thing ever is to start leaning harder on the democrats to use their considerable political and financial resources to play hardball with Trump. I mean real hardball, litigate fucking everything, show up in person and keep those DOGE fucks out with sticks and bricks if need be, or at least Livestream and name and shame them, put together a rapid response team to counter the blatantly unconstitutional shit, get commitments from military officials that they will defend the constitution; literally anything besides wheeling out Schumer or Bernie to give another speech that everyone will ignore. I love Bernie, but we’re way past speeches.
Next, start going to protests, start getting involved with trying to push your local government on issues. I am, it’s allowed me to network with other local activists and I’m in a better place to be made aware of local needs and local actions. Also part of this is to check in with your network. I know people that voted Trump 1 and stuck with him all the way through the term that are disgusted with what’s happening now, we have mutual aid plans in place. It’s not much, but it’s a start. This is a good opportunity to plant seeds about mutual aid, protest, general strikes in the future, and organizing.
If you have money, start opening up legal cases. If you don’t, then start leaning on state politicians about whether they have plans to deal with the fallout. It’s finally worth ruminating on about what finally stopped the Nazis’ progress East. It wasn’t clever signs and chants. Don’t be caught unaware for the worst case scenario.
Don’t like what I suggest? Use your fucking noggin and think of something better to do and do it. Even if it’s yelling at passing cars. Do anything besides roll over. No peace for Nazis, ever.
I keep seeing this kind of comment, and it irks me. There’s nothing actionable here, and it honestly just comes across as defeatist. Oh well, what can we do, turns out a majority/plurality/murder/what the fuck ever of voters prefer Nazis. That’s some greasy fucking energy. We’re here now, regardless of what ought to be, so let’s start talking about how to deal with it.
This actually tells me that Biden, to the very last, still didn’t understand that Trump doesn’t believe in the system. If Trump wants to prosecute Hunter Biden, does anyone really think that these pardons will stop him? In a non-bizarro world, sure, maybe, but those pardons are going to mean about as much as we Kleenex to Trump’s DOJ. ALSO, Biden didn’t understand that Trump is really not interested in going after rich people as long as they stay out of his way. Trump got elected and basically instantly forgot about Hillary, never even bothered trying to prosecute her. I think we’ll probably never hear anything else about the Bidens except for rants on social media.
And none of the others have a spine.
Huffman was probably in a huge hurry to gargle Elon’s balls.
Adam Connover covered this in “The G Word”, there’s a lot of private interests that hate that NOAA just provides this stuff to the public free of charge, and are desperate to paywall it.
I’m looking forward to the purges. Sure, let’s piss off the people whose full time jobs it is to overthrow governments and then give them all the unpaid time off together that they could ask for. Certainly nothing incredibly funny will come of doing that.
Can’t help but notice this. Turns out, the communist plot to destroy America was the billionaires we made along the way.
So, neofeudalism.
Dude, the US is already cooked. I’m not seeing a way back from this.
Shit is getting done so scattershot, I think there’s a really, really good chance that a lot of records are going to fall through the cracks or “fall through the cracks” as different databases are deleted, offices closed, code based altered, and agencies demolished.
Ahhh, you beat me to it. This is 100% awful, and supports fascism. Look at other theocratic regimes; it’s always such a handy coincidence that the government knows what God wants, and what God wants somehow always manages to be what they want. This provides narrative cover to basically do anything, because you can always just say that you did it to defend Christianity.
