  • Insightful interview https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-trumps-rhetoric-compares-to-historic-fascist-language

    "I think Trump has been conditioning Americans since 2015 to see violence as something justified in certain cases and even patriotic.

    He’s been conditioning them to see other Americans as enemies, as diseased, as dirty. And what we have to remember is that authoritarians might initially target one group, and he’s been talking mostly about immigrants. But he’s also calling the enemy within the political opposition.

    […]

    And this is part of an authoritarian projection mechanism. I call it the upside-down world of authoritarianism, where, ever since Mussolini, he was the first to call democrats the real tyrants and fascism was going to be freedom. Fascism was going to make Italy great again. That was a slogan, as was drain the swamp. Trump took that from Mussolini as well."
























  • JD Vance said he was able to cure himself of couch chlamydia using a home remedy he invented that involved tree sap and some indian spices he found in his wife’s kitchen spice rack.

    When he was then spotted showing couch chlamydia symptoms, he claimed that he got reinfected a second time, but this time it was from Democrat secret agents that infected him for political persecution.







  • I wanted to say that although I think the mods closed the Gaza thread, I am thankful that people joined in to have these serious conversations. Because no matter what your perspective is, I read every comment and I feel that everyone that commented there cares about trying to find solutions and figuring out how to do the right thing even when it’s hard.

    For democracy to work we have to talk to each other, even when it’s uncomfortable. Thank you for caring and doing your part. I don’t know how to fix all our problems, but I do know that we have this democracy to let us decide together. And the more we talk the closer we can get to real answers somehow. Have a great day.
