George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
Over the weekend, Nazis were marching in the streets of Madison, Wisconsin. They felt emboldened by an increase in antisemitism and the poisonous words of Donald Trump. This is in America in 2023. We must stand up to hate, to fascism, and to political violence of all forms. No less than the future of our country and what we leave to our children and grandchildren is on the line.

Yes.
But it would be wrong to blame just Trump.

Elon has certainly helped.

@clintruin @georgetakei blaming Trump or Musk is tempting and easy, but keep in mind McConnell and the GOP leadership was pushing things this direction since at least 2012. Although it easily feeds into a cult of personality, it is a bigger and more dangerous movement even than that.

This is the modern Republican movement.

It’s no different than the American Nazi movement of the 1930s.

"If we nominate Biden for President we WILL LOSE!"

This is patently untrue. Biden is currently our best nominee against Orange Hitler. We need to stand together and call media out for their one-sided BS.

I realize that Biden Cult members, Just like Trump Cult members can't face the truth and Excuse lie after lie.

Shame on me? Haven't you Even noticed the Genocide going on in Gaza as Biden arms Israel? Or is it that you support Genocide as BIDEN ISSUES LIE AFTER LIE ABOUT IT?

@Ulzana

You just spouted lies about Gaza and Israel, two foreign countries... while whining about 'cults'. Where were you when Steven Miller was separating children from parents in AZ and TX and disappearing them to human traffickers?

Do I want a cease fire? Sure. But neither are my country or Biden's either.

Biden is re-arming Israel? Show me the receipts or go scuff your shoes walking...
