I feel like all the people posting their "shock" that the GOP is steadfastly behind Trump didn't properly absorb the whole "yeah, the Republican Party is openly fascist now instead of just covertly fascist" lesson. I mean did you folks think they've been doing the past 8 years by accident or was it more "they weren't coming for ME yet?"
Related: I dunno how ppl can tell me this isn't a fascist country when a reality TV nazi can win an election, do fascist shit for 4 years, break a bunch of laws, attempt a coup, LOSE an election, influence policy and drive the Overton Window right for the next 4 years even THOUGH he lost, declare himself above the law, promise to do even more fascist shit, promise to punish his political enemies, and be on track to win the presidency again in November. Calls are coming from inside the house yo.
(Don't waste your time; I just call balls and strikes. If you don't think he's winning right now, you ain't been paying attention.)
@AnarchoNinaWrites Trump is not "on track to win." He has the potential to win, as he did in 2020, but it's not over, and giving up 9 months before the election is exactly what every Republican would like the left to do.
@cherold Chuck? Fuck off.
@AnarchoNinaWrites The Republicans *love* you.
@cherold Did I fucking stutter you dense mutherfucker? I said "fuck off" that means? Fuck off. Here's your block, dipshit.

@cherold @AnarchoNinaWrites

Charles, does this kind of vapid rhetorical play actually work on anyone but yourself and Liberals?

@cherold @AnarchoNinaWrites

Voting for a piece of shit who managed the Right’s war on public health after Trump himself couldn’t do it, and signed my children’s death warrants, is what every liberal in a stupid hat on Mastodon wants me to do.

Trumps gunna win and Nina can shelter up at our place if she wants. I got enough heat to fend them off for a while.

You can ask sleepy joe to save your ass.

The inmates are doing everything they can to take over the asylum.
@AnarchoNinaWrites I’m horrified at what’s to come.
@Doreen32128 Yeah, me too. For once I don't have a pithy comment; this is all bad.
@AnarchoNinaWrites Yeah... it's not looking good
@AnarchoNinaWrites And the other candidate does fascist things so you don't need to vote the fascist party.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Plus be an adjudicated rapist. It boggles the mind.

@AnarchoNinaWrites if I’ve learned anything from this country, it’s that all that stuff you just named is caused by transgender folks.

Also women. Minorities, too. Gays, for sure. Probably kindergarten books. Maybe hybrid vehicles, too (but not teslas). Public libraries. Recycling. Pronouns. Gun control. The right to vote. Solar power. Kindness and human decency.

Idk, there are a TON of causes, but it’s definitely not the fascists.

The fascists are not the cause of the fascism.

@raineer My only hope is to live through the coming pogroms and fascist theocracies long enough to see the white protestant sects start cannibalizing each other, as fascists inevitably do. @AnarchoNinaWrites
@AnarchoNinaWrites
It's more, "It can't be fascist because *I* agree with them. And *I'm* not a fascist. No more reflection necessary. I asked my True Scotsman friend."
