@AnarchoNinaWrites it was always the plan, it was only ever the plan and it was hatched more than a century ago, notwithstanding recent updates to match the modern technofascist motif.

But yeah I'm sure Biden and Harris were gonna put a halt to it. If only they had another crack at it.

"We're bad, too, you know...

In fact, we're even more evil!"

Mid-term messaging already on point. The House might have over 300 Republicans in it come Jan '27

So let me get this straight, Mr Senator -

Latinos were... correct in voting for Trump?

Begging Democrats to believe in something rather than just slipstreaming in behind Republican policies, hoping to confuse(?) enough people into voting for them, to make up for the would-be voters whom they've totally alienated via this procedure. I don't know, it seems like a bad gambit that we just saw fail spectacularly and yet I think it's all they've got on offer moving forward.

I mean, I'm not doing it. Join me.

Attacking bedrock components of the "Americans with Disabilities Act" inside of the first 2 weeks of your administration is certainly a choice that is made with full clarity of conscience that it is a victimless crime.

Little window in the mind palace of this unrepentant son of a bitch.

Actually, you're being played by the full force of American history, now personified by a handful of people who actually understand how "things happen" in the country. How things have been done and how things always will be done for whatever time we have left.

Unless... you choose to actually cripple the violent, white supremacist systems that truly govern the West and that will inevitably immiserate the entire planet, irrespective of who occupies the White House.

The evils of the past echo, and are continuously reproduced, in eternity unless you acknowledge them in the past, identify how they manifest in the present and seek to extricate and purge them from the future.

DEI programs, voting Democrat, more 'moderate' approaches to border fascism, sanctions regimes and the maintenance of the largest, "most lethal" colonial military empire in human history ain't gonna get it done.

Israel was in the process of reducing Palestine to ash so they could pave over it long before Hamas even existed, let alone before they broke through the gates.

The attack just gave them the excuse to do it faster.

The reason AIPAC works so hard to pack Congress with ghouls, why the ADL labels everything and everyone 'antisemitic' should they have the gall to criticize an apartheid government along with its supporters, why the US spent so much time associating brown skin with terrorism... is because if people could see what Israelis are doing to Palestinians with a sober head, they would be horrified.

Israel never stopped bombing Lebanon after the alleged ceasefire, too, so I suppose we should expect the same in Gaza.

After all, who's gonna stop them?

"... at comparable points in their ["wars"], Israel has killed nearly five times as many people as Bashar al-Assad did. If The Lancet is wrong, and the 45,000-dead count is accurate, then Israel has killed more than three times as many people as Assad did."

"We totally would have convicted Trump and sent him to prison if only these fickle voters didn't get in our way!"

Fuck off, Jack. Y'all had 4 years to do something and you willfully chose not to, but I'm glad you're taking the opportunity to pass the buck. How liberal of you.

In what other situation are people allowed to weaponize their alleged/actual/historical trauma to to deliver pain, suffering, death and, you know, additional trauma to another group of people?

Right. Never. Because it's an absolutely fucking nonsensical explanation of a sadistic and criminal enterprise that no mental health clinician under the sun would define as an appropriate, acceptable or therapeutic reaction to psychological phenomena.

tfw when you're trying to come off as Pro-Israel but you end up outing yourself more narrowly as Pro-Genocide (and anti-Arab)

By the way, *this* is how fascism gets invited into the mainstream. Trump can't do it on his own. Winning the election wasn't enough. But when you suddenly have respected, albeit politically captured media outlets, freely finding "common ground" with Nativism's most infamous herald, the only conclusion you can reach is that it's a choice the liberal media-political apparatus is very willing to make.

And from a distance, sure looks like an electoral revenge campaign is on the horizon.

The New York Times now doing the bidding of... Donald Trump?

Old enough to remember when Trump demanded Obama use the term "Radical Islamic Terror" because he's a racist piggy, but what's the NYT's excuse?

You know, since "narratives" are in the discourse and all.

Oh is the single most violent country in human history suffering from a rash of self-inflicted violence?

Huh

I wonder how this extaordinarily rich, thoughtful and dynamic culture will respond...

Surely the violence will not be met with more violence and repression and lucrative opportunities for the most violent and worst of us...

As has always been the case.

If there were "terrorists" inside a hospital in Boston or Dusseldorf or Abuja, the goal of the local security apparatus wouldn't be to assault, murder and kidnap hospital staff, to then destroy the entire facility and leave its most vulnerable patients to die -

Only in Gaza, at the hands of the sick fuck Israeli military and its government, with the authorization of its people, is this the case.

So yeah good luck with the recently replenished Hasbara funding. It won't be enough.
