2016 was worse for America than 9/11.

Mr. President, a second presidency just hit the south tower.
The pathway to authoritarianism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting
I hope as fuck that everyone who said that eventually realize they were warned, and take some humility into the future
Maybe, maybe, break Cassandra's curse. At least for a little bit
Yea, and then they’ll say “never forget” and build a monument and a museum. And then everyone forgets 2 generations later. Just look at Israel, the families there still materially experience the lingering effects of genocide yet they continue to perpetrate another one.
That is the unfortunate reality of it. I wish I could say that I hope it will be different this time but..
About the one hope I have is that during the next iteration we overhaul society's systems to so solidly work for the average person that it helps counteract this cycle, but it's hard to stay optimistic for sure
I've never seen anything in the US more complicit towards fascism and autocracy than the US media. They reported NOTHING negative about Trump for months? Why? Fairness? But Kamala got fucked every headline ''Job Numbers trending up, but are the numbers too soft because of Harris? " type of bullshit.
Almost as if the rich and powerful have WAY too much control. Break out yer guillotines!
Always has been. Have you ever checked out how the imperial media covers genocide?
Needs an update:
Now of course the "Rule of Law" is already destroyed and the plane should be headed for the 2nd one...
Just need a 2nd plane labelled "republican traitor filth".
I do think that Trump's first administration was fascist-lite. He had set precedence that future politicians will do. However, his second term has now gone full fascist and it is no longer "setting precedence", but making breakthrough and ripping apart the very heart of democracy and what it means to be human.
Kick a narcissist out of your home and tell them you don’t want them anymore, and if they manage to get back in, you won’t ever forget you crossed them.
The media called his second run a "revenge tour", and they weren't fucking wrong. Trump's only objective this time around is to stick it to the people who held him back the first time. First his old cabinet, then career civil servants, then judges, and eventually, the rest of us.
Cheetos can't melt steel beams.
