Only silver lining right now is these idiots might just be too stupid to pull off creating their evil empire.
This reminds me of an interview with a Ukrainian soldier, who said of the Russians “we are lucky they are so fucking stupid”. If only that translated into less air superiority by Russia, because that's where Ukraine struggles.
Second term same as the first?
That’s actually why I’d say the GOP is the “lesser evil” compared to Dems, because they ultimately want the same thing but the Dems are competent enough to pull it off without people noticing.
For example, everyone’s rightly going after Trump’s deportation schemes, but very few of them realize Trump is still isn’t keeping up with Biden’s deportation numbers. So the Dems end up being better fascists by doing it quietly.
...are they? They're just incompetent in different ways. Not sure competent is how I'd describe them, they are a mess: The last election is proof of that.
Yeah, you’re not wrong. Really it’s that the Dems have better control of and coordination with the media outlets.
Which is also why the Dems are super big on social media censorship. They feel it’s a threat to their media control.
I disagree with you there, GOP has just as much control over media outlets, but the extent of control differs depending on which outlets you're talking about.
Ehh. There’s certainly some outlets that coordinate with the GOP on talking points, but it’s not direct control and coordination like the Dems practice with media outlets.
It’s more like the GOP and conservative outlets are receiving marching orders from the same oligarchs. The Dems are overtly directing their media partners.
None of this is speculation. We’ve seen the email leaks on both sides to prove it.
I don't remember when the Democrats deported my neighbor or when they called self-proclaimed Nazis good guys or when they wanted to take away food stamps from single mothers or when they wanted to make voting harder or when they didn't want to ban child marriage or when they wanted to take away the only source of food and housing for children, people with disabilities, and the elderly or when they wanted to ban vaccines or when they wanted to ban abortion or when they wanted to make being queer a child sex crime or when they ignored all of science, but I guess they were just too smart to do any of that.
Then you have a terrible memory, or more likely just don’t pay attention when Democrats are in office.
~~I’m about to come back and edit multiple sources into this. One sec.~~ Done. Thanks for making my point exactly. Dems are more dangerous because y’all are lulled to sleep when they’re in office. By your own admission, you straight up don’t even notice when a Dem does this shit.

Don't hide behind the shitty half-assed news reports, you coward. Just name the actual Democrat that fired their vaccine board, so we can end this. Just name the actual Democrat that banned abortion federally, instead of posting fifteen useless articles. Just name the Democrat that kept child marriage protected because it's easier. Just name the Democrat that deported my neighbor, specifically, since you seemed to have known him. Just name the Democrat that implemented a voting suppression measure, assuming you can find one within the last 25 years, instead of you saying that's the same thing as ranked choice, which have been challenged by Republicans in every single instance (and this is the only instance you found for Democrats, if you could call it that, lol). Just name the Democrat that called queer people slurs openly and wants them tried for child sex crimes.
It should be so easy, right? If they're the same, just fucking name them.
‘You must name the person who banned my specific neighbor, because I refuse to acknowledge the existence of anything that does affect me personally and directly.’
Project 2025 is the lesser evil? Compared to?
Compared to Dems doing the same thing covertly. As I explained in the comment you’re replying to.
"explained" seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting.
You papered something, but I didn't see an explanation per se.
Try again? Start by pointing to where the Dems started their insurrection, so I can compare.
Fascism is not measured by immigration alone.
‘Well hold on, it’s not fascist when Dems do it.’
