Robert ReichAlmost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or simply sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. The GOP is desperate for you to forget this. Do not.
Itwasntme@rbreich Duress is a diabolical situation. Those forced into a situation that sees them act in a manner not borne of their own free will, are inevitably scared, desperate and panicked. The guy in the back seat, holding the gun and yelling ‘drive!’ appears very clearly to be Donald Trump. The US has to find a way to push the bastard out without stopping the car.
Stewartvm@itwasntme @rbreich Donald Trump isn't the problem. Americans are the problem. Nearly half of them want a fascist government and a large enough majority of the rest are so mired in religion and greed as to ensure nothing really changes.
@stewartvm @rbreich you might be in the neighbourhood of the mark. I suppose there’s always going to be a Trump. Gotham can’t work without a baddie.

Clinton Anderson SwordForHire@ClintonAnderson @stewartvm @rbreich Well, it certainly looks like the test tubes and beakers have been dropped and the fridge unplugged, but… failed? Failing, certainly. We must have hope, endeavour and unrelenting determination to do better. Shame and humiliation really need to be applied, with equal doses of fuck off and don’t come back.
