Making America Crash Again
Almost a century since the Nazi rise in Germany, we are repeating the same mistakes. Not only in the United States, but other first world nations as authoritarianism is rising globally. It is disheartening to observe a populace embracing authoritarianism with either delight or indifference.

This sums it up perfectly and explains why Iβve been In a constant fight or flight state since November 2024. It feels exactly like it.

I wish I was pleasantly surprised.

Trump is finishing what he started - the end of the United States and global chaos. He is a Russian asset owned by Putin from decades of debts to Russian oligarchs. Heβs using the presidency to broker his way out while selling the nation for /

Their job is to terrorize and even execute people. Many have criminal records or donβt even have high school degrees. Some are right wing nationalists and pardoned 1/6 insurrectionists who couldnβt get work. Theyβre incentivized by number of arrests.
This is their masturbatory fantasy.
Raskin needs to be majority leader.
The party who gutted - everything - is going after Walz over [checks notes] programs they gutted.
Makes sense.
Corey was mad his dildo was left on board in that bag of βtoysβ.
Yup. To them, this is a βwinβ. Anyone who doesnβt understand needs to go anywhere in the south, Deep South, and talk to them. Theyβre raised to hate democrats. Not just Fox News and right wing media, their families, friends, neighbors. The south is still bitter they lost the civil war.
Racist? Sources, please.
I watched Schiff question Noem after Tillis and I have to admit Democrats need to take a page out of the Republican playbook. People have short attention spans and memories, much of it is theatre and they need to show emotion. Get angry. Shout. Anything other than what theyβre doing.
Hey! We donβt want him.
A lot of words to say nothing.
Sources?
There seem to be a lot of bots and sock puppets lately pushing division amongst democrats, progressives, liberals, independents, etc. over this Senate seat. I wonder why.
βNow is a good time to mute accounts doing hot takes for engagement farming. It's entertaining and depressing.β
Agree which is why Iβm blocking you. Clearly, you have an agenda and itβs not for the betterment of democracy.
Definite bot/sock puppet. Blocked as well.
Iβve been noticing a massive uptick in bots and sock puppets coming after Talarico which is interesting. Both are great candidates but republicans are absolutely afraid of him in Texas.
And your protest votes are also why we are in this shitshow.
Unbelievable
So the Trump administration has further removed restrictions on searches allowing them to break down anyoneβs doors without justification or sense of urgency.
Not surprised but absolutely disgusted. The United States is one step closer to a true dictatorship.
Absolutely. As a psychologist, itβs important to distinguish that sociopathy and intelligence are not correlated. My concern is the general public dismissing the acts of this administration as incompetence and stupidity which underestimates them and may be our weakness. We cannot do such.
These people are insane.
Xitter is exactly that - a far right cesspool of bots and sock puppets. Recall when Musk allowed users to see where profiles are based and the majority of MAGA accounts are in Russia, Eastern Europe, even India? I would state maybe 20% of the user base are real people and thatβs generous.
I watch Tillis then Schiff and I have to admit: democrats need the same energy and tactics that republicans use against these people. Schiff is great but thereβs no energy, no urgency, nothing to get people paying attention and THATβS where republicans succeed. Itβs part theatre these days.
