The MAGA base even admits as much. They say if we change the tax system, the wealthy will just leave. Capitalism is purely about profit and patriotism and national unity are only useful insofar as being a tool to ensure the money keeps flowing in.
I can’t stand that they call him Mr. President. It’s obnoxious.
That and the fact that these people aren’t patriots. They’re looters. They don’t believe in America per se. They believe in the economic system that advantages them and disadvantages others. It’s just that simple. America is no longer a land of opportunity. Perpetual poverty is their goal. Keeping people down is the point.
If our CEOs and business leaders are supposedly the world’s best, why didn’t they spent their capital shutting China down instead of their lavish lifestyles and payouts for their wealthy stockholders? I guess they aren’t as good at running businesses as they claim to be.
Widespread racist hatred from white conservatives. That’s about it. That’s the primary force behind the MAGA movement. They’re racist in the extreme but would never admit to it because they’ve been given a convenient out…
“ILLEGAL”.
Agree. What Trumpists are doing is disgusting. We have members of our populace rabidly cheering this stuff on. They love the cute propagandized “Alligator Alcatraz” to the point where I’m pretty sure they have merch with it on it. We’ll probably see Trump wearing one of those stupid fucking red trucker hats saying Alligator Alcatraz on it. Imagine Hitler doing a PR campaign for Auschwitz.
Wait, what if he did …
Nah I think it’s fine to rat them out. I don’t get this idea that they can vote to hurt people en masse but it’s verboten to suggest they go through it themselves? And nothing is going to change these people except for being forced to empathize. They’re on the sidelines of a bloodsport cheering ICE on as they destroy lives. When they say this is what they voted for, they voted for the spectacle. They voted to hurt people. Ratting them out to ICE is the least they deserve.
So what you’re saying is that there will be massive negative consequences for the actions of Trump and his goons?
Or are you saying that progressives wouldn’t be able to do the same thing and that we have to be docile and empathetic to their stupidity and cruelty?
Because it seems to me that there is no possibility of consequences for the Trump administration or for conservatives in general and that this is a roadmap that proves that if they get power like this again there will be, once again, nothing to stop them.
Voting for Trump is plenty. Make Trumpists suffer. The warning signs were all there. He ran a tabloid style ad talking about transgender surgeries in prison. That’s how desperate they were to fearmonger. They said immigrants were eating people’s cats and dogs. And 77 million people gladly lined up to vote for that naked hatred.
Fuck Trump voters. Hope they choke on their next meal.
I dunno man. You’re probably right but… I hate these motherfuckers. It’s not a civil disagreement anymore. I fucking hate them for what they’ve done to our country.
Time to invest in Honda.
Trump will solve nothing.
What is the strat for MAGA customers?
Free to shop at the company store.
We have freedoms?
20k new ICE agents on the way too. Now all the gravy SEAL cosplayers can join up and hurt immigrants. Brown Shirts mobilizing. Authoritarian apparatus is gaining momentum.
Ah yes, Steve showing his true colors.

By strong flavor I mean Mediterranean or Indian food. She can’t tolerate it. Needs her KFC mashed potatoes and gravy.
My boomer mother in law. Rural origins. Just… Likes the garbage she gets there because she’s used to it. She actively dislikes fine foods with strong flavors. She would prefer to eat mushy overcooked pork chops in mushroom soup every night. Maybe a side of overcooked broccoli.
Brags about eating bowls of saltine crackers and milk.
I’m American and completely agree. Europe is in a much better spot to lead than America is. America needs to be shamed.
