There are people fighting the filthy trump machine, but...nobody seems to realize the true urgency. Are you still even on speaking terms with a trumper? You gotta knock that shit off. Yes, you. trump shoulda been torn to shreds by an angry unstoppable mob by now. WTF is wrong with us?
Bullies are fascists & fascists are bullies. Aside from the relative scale of their transgressions, there is no other meaningful distinction to be made between the two.

Mark T. Sneed@marktsneed.bsky.social · 4d agoThe whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
People really don't like it when you point out that trumpers have the blood of dead, innocent protestoers on their hands & that "staying friends" with trumpers gets that blood on your hands as well...& their struggle to justify ALWAYS falls flat.
gianni infantino might have the only face I've ever seen that is truly unfinished without clown makeup.
No 2nd term w/o the first, no first term w/o the EC, an anti-Democratic institution & therefore illegitimate. He - PARDON me, IT - is NOT the president. Stop calling it that.
Gonna have to start making people check some boxes before I bother getting to know them. Box 1: Are you a trumper? If yes, proceed no further, return form. Application for acquaintance and/or friendship denied.
Democracy is the only morally acceptable choice. That the "founding fathers" settled for less doesn't change that the USA was never *meant to be* anything else. The government are *servants* of the People's Will, NOT "LEADERS". WE ALLOWED this to happen. Be a grownup & fix this, America.
Y'know, *it* wouldn'ta gotten a 2nd term w/o the 1st, & the EC ain't legit 'cause it ain't Democratic, so *it* ain't no legit president nohow.
To support trumpydump they abandon logic & tie themselves in knots justifying wrongs. They're too invested & fearful for persuasion, & "staying friends" is fake & ONLY gives them permission. Socially reject all trumpers, *especially* your "friends". It's the only moral choice they leave us.
An ill-founded "friendship" will probably distract you from your loneliness for a time, but in the end it will only make it worse.
I'm so fucking tired of the implication that I'm childish for being unable to stay friendly with trumpers. All staying social with them does is give them permission. You know what's childish? The simpering weakness & cowardice it takes to shut down your own conscience so you can have..."friends?".
It really fucking hurts to be so lonely...but I'd still rather be lonely than hang out with nazis.
Just found out a couple I thought I was becoming friends with have been hiding their trump-support from me because they "lose friends over it". Can't imagine why THAT would happen. Nonetheless, devastated.
"Neo-liberal","libertarian", etc., have dishonesty baked right into them. You can't claim support for the oppressed AND support the unfettered capitalism that oppresses them. An ideology that directly contradicts itself is not legit. Do not use these terms with me; the words themselves are lies.
When the piss-filthy creature currently befouling the White House runs out of the helpless & the leftists to persecute & turns on those who support *it* because there's no one left to stop its insatiable self-loathing defilement of people & things, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY COMPLAINTS. Not. One.
People who crave power are NEVER the ones who should have any.
McConnell is really letting his country down by staying alive. What a loser.
Me: Team sports are fine in themselves, but the media saturation of things like superbowls is meant to 1 distract us from real world conflicts & 2 promote an us v them mentality. Them: Oh, I don't believe *that*... Me: That's because it's working.
We tend to forget, but we *must not*; Democracy is fundamentally & inherently liberal. Conservatism & Democracy are incompatible. This is not a matter of opinion.
The term "divided" grants legitimacy to ridiculous infantile fallacy. The nation is not "divided"; some of us are simply incorrect.
