The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”

“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.

    It’s not. The people with the authority to do anything about it either won’t or can’t. You’re First Amendment rights are worth 2¢ in a trillion dollar economy. While the 2A was supposedly written to be the follow-up, it has basically the same effect.

    The Republicans in Congress could stop all of this at any time. They choose not to. They support it, even if they say otherwise.

    Trump will be Trump, but we need to direct our anger at the rest of his party as well, for not holding him accountable. I hope enough people realize this in November.

    They have convinced the moronic masses that the communists are equivalent to fascists, and they have convinced the masses that anyone not MAGA is a communist. They even started rounding up brown people, some of whom have died and/or will never see their families again. They’re builting concentration camps. AI datacenters are meant to take control over computing and the communication it enables.

    This is our last chance.

    It's not the entire country. Conservatives are dragging the normal people into this. Our nation is absolutely infested with conservatives. This is what happens when we don't finish a civil war properly. We either finish Sherman's work or we suffer the consequences of humanizing pure evil.

    Watching from the outside, I've never doubted they would. USA has always been so disgustingly patriotic, to the point of ignoring everything bad about the country in order to fuel their imagined self image as "The Greatest Country In The World". It was always going to be like this, when most of the country is that brainwashed and ignorant.

    I think it was letterman that started his show with “from New York, the greatest city in the world” that they unreflectively cheered for years … which I think is an example of how brainwashed even the more liberal Americans have been over the last 50 years. Their entire culture has been leading to this point.

    They were never the good guys.

    One of the first things I learned about climate change in the 90s was the US didn’t ratify Kyoto—and Bush withdrew in 01. Never the good guys. We can go back further (Allende, Nicaragua—not the good guys there either).

    But still, even many liberal leaning people, think they are the greatest. And they laughably think this is a blip.

    Edit: this post definitely triggered some Americans.

    This is becoming less and less true as time goes on. It reached a high point during the Bush years but if you look at polling of young people, they are much less patriotic than older people. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/america-250-anniversary-poll-b2997555.html

    Which makes complete sense, since it's very obvious that we aren't the greatest country on earth when a 25 year old with a degree has to struggle just to survive and can't afford rent and going to the hospital bankrupts them.

    If you and to just dismiss this as "getting triggered" then go ahead, but that would make it very obvious that you only know this country from TV and the internet and don't actually talk to people from here.

    The only people you'll find actually saying that are New Yorkers. And they have said that shit for a LONG ass time. Their arrogant delusions are sort of unmatched when it comes to having the "best"... whatever. Pizza, bagels, art, etc. they'll claim everything they do is the best in the world regardless of reality.

    Hey now, other cities are welcome to flex about their pizza and bagels if they’re actually better than NYC’s (they’re not).

    Oh they know, they just also know that they won’t face consequences if their rhetoric is completely untethered from reality, no matter how dangerous - it’s their whole thing.

    Okay, fine, maybe Trump doesn’t know the definitions, but his puppet masters certainly do.

    I never watched the Handmaid's Tale until Trump was elected the second time. Oddly prophetic in some ways, hopefully not in others.

    This is so deeply ingrained the the US culture. It's always been this way, ever since a continent was stolen and Manifest Destiny was a new thing. I mean, Hawaii is a state because it also was stolen, and a federal law prohibited the teaching of Hawaiian culture for like 50 years. If I recall correctly, it wasn't repealed until like the 90s.

    Just shameful stuff, from the beginning through to today.

    Everything Margaret Atwood put in that book is based on something that had literally already happened to women at some point in history, so that no man could say that she was being absurd or over the top with anything she included.

    Clever, but also just so completely horrifying to think about.

    Anyone got a link to the propaganda video? I’m curious, but not so curious to dig it up.

    It’s really a fucking shame what a group of pedophiles are doing to the USA and I don’t think their appetite will be satiated with just that one country (playing politics in Europe by the US oligarch is clue enough). Like I really am not optimistic but I hope the US gets their shit together, but maybe they can do something to stamp this shit out for themselves and the rest of us.

    I used to love going to the states as a kid/teen on family trips, but don’t think I can ever bring myself to go back. I actively discourage friends and family to do the same. It’s not worth all the freedoms to end up in a box in El Salvador for making free expressive posts like this on public forums. But I don’t trust one iota that my rights would be upheld if I were targeted at a border with an illegal search of my phone.
