“It’s election interference to reveal that Trump is a traitor who tried to implement a coup to cling to power.”
—The awful friends and relatives you refuse to kick out of your life
“‘He says some crazy things but he really cares about the country.’ That, my friends, is how 9 million people went into ovens.”
—Jim Fiorini
“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patrioutism, or a sense of economic anxiety, a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.
That word is ‘Nazi.’ Nobody cares about their motives anymore.
They joined what they joined. They lent their support and moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more wat particular knot they used in the binding?”
—A.R. Moxon
Why did you kick Trump supporters out of your life?
I don’t tolerate Nazis. Whether friend or family. And I’m not sorry at all.
The Nazis weren’t all blue-eyed angry Aryan men like in a movie.
There were Nazi aunts and Nazi grandmas, etc.
They didn’t get a Pass on what they did and tried to do.
Neither do yours.
“We see it now; the hate has shifted to the trans community. They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.
We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about. They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”
—Tim Walz
“Can I tell you a secret? I don’t care if there are undocumented immigrants in this country. I think it’s a non issue. Without social security numbers they’re not getting the welfare people claim they’re getting, the vast majority of them are normal people trying to live a better life.
This whole wall deport-the-illegals bullshit is just the one percent convincing the working poor to blame a subset of the working poor for the fact that they’re all poor, instead of realizing they’re all poor
due to vast income inequality and resource price inflation in combination with wage stagnation.
The existence of another poor person is not why you’re poor. It’s because the people who control everything refuse to increase your wages.”
—Jessie Memer
The worst people you are unfortunate to know (and are sometimes related to) didn’t care about the LGBTQI community until assholes with an R next to their names in parenthesis told them to get mad about it.
This isn’t hyperbole.
This. Right now. Isn’t a “a difference of politics” and if you try to diminish Trumps evil as merely some “mean tweets” you need to catch a hard backhand and lose a molar or two.
Yup. Your smug sense of self-satisfaction and the fake internet points it gains you from your idiot friends could very well be the thing that does the exact opposite of what you have made your whole identity (this year anyway).
“If you are a one issue voter and your one issue is Gaza and on that one issue you’re going to help elect the candidate (Trump) who is undoubtedly going to make things much worse for innocent people in Gaza, then your one issue is that you’re a selfish, performative dipshit.”
—Mikel Jollett
Everyone should read and force their performative white leftist friends to read this brilliantly worded letter/poem from Naomi Westwater:
“She should stick to singing and stay out of politics.”
“Sure, Randy. And you should stay out of politics and stick to scamming people on HVAC systems but here we are.”
This time out I’m glad to see republicans rejecting the MAGA tumor. Drew Carey don’t play.
I don’t often like to deploy such gauche gestures. But …
