If only anyone in this damn country had any sense of class consciousness. The guy with golden toilets was never going to be a champion of the working American.

But Hillary said mean things about me and Kambala is black!
Gasp! Oh the humanity!
Also, Sean Hannity told me it's the gods honest truth that all Democrats worship Satan and they personally want me as a single individual dead!
If it has to come to that.

more like 'they're women'
it's shootin fish in a barrel after all the immigrants and rednecks raise their hands to be pawns by letting us know they believe in magic and vote against their own interests
immigrants and rednecks
Gross.
"Very nice people" = "Willing to bribe me generously"
He isn't selling citizenship. He is selling access to American resources, future, and, of course, the right to abuse the serfs. These racists dipshits just sold themselves to wealthy foreigners because they wanted "asmr" of poor brown people being sent to death camps.
They're so nice they always bring me gifts and money
It feels very mask off for the American ~~oligarchs~~ 'wealthy elite' to be praising the Russian oligarchs.
Yeah the last couple months have been pretty scary honestly. They're going mask off and everyone who matters and could do anything seems to be sitting on their hands.
Our current situation really is the culmination of almost 70 years of rightwing efforts. It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all).” They’ve been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.
I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.
The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they're controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It's really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they're winning.
The coup was successful, they're in power and if they don't want to give it up they won't.
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.

On both sides
A pedophile thinks other pedophiles are nice people
Libs like to act like trump is controlled by putin when in reality these people just hangout at the same golf courses, have the same class interests, etc.
Could they have put even more filters on that photo to make him any younger?!
