Prosecute his enemies is maybe a bit much. But the rest is uncanny.
Oh god NYT slop
When the trash humans are saying they will do this and that. When they publish it. Its not a prediction.
His “Mein Kampf”
It said he’d shit his pants on live TV in the oval office?
Pg 32, ¶2, §3 “Fard n shid pant XDD”
Predicted…openly by Trump.
The people who needed to be convinced think the New York Times is globalist propaganda. If they even noticed the existence of this article they would assume it was a made up smear campaign against Dear Leader.
Also, our media (even the “liberal media”) is part of the problem. For example, they did such a terrible job explaining Trump’s attempts to steal the 2020 election that to this day even many anti-Trump Americans don’t understand how fucked up it was.
The primary blame is on the sociopaths in charge and the troglodytes who voted them in, but there is plenty of guilt to go around.
My folks didn’t even know the fake elector story until Liz Cheney’s book came out. That was Dec 2023
60 Minutes didn’t cover fake electors until Feb 2024.
Like it or not, this is likely on par with the experience of tens of millions of American voters.
Totally agreed, media failed to present the full scope of the conspiracy and did it way too fucking late.
if the average voting american knew how to read they would be very upset!
The biggest lie of them all is the “Liberal” in liberal media
All American media is essentially fascist, they’ve proven this beyond a doubt
If there were even a HINT of an ALLEGATION that Biden or Obama were party to INFANTICIDE they would have burned DC to the ground. Now all the US media outlets are just participating in the damage control operation
“All American media is essentially fascist”
This is absolute horseshit.
look up who owns whatever media outlet you think isn’t fascist
It’s an exaggeration at least, but it’s true that the regime friendly billionaire class has a lot of influence over some extremely popular media channels. The firings and changes made in Washington Post and more recently CBS are interesting case studies.
And of course many newsrooms make questionable decisions even if they are not fascist. I have little to no respect left for the New York Times, but I still believe they’re independent enough and have enough talented staff to produce important journalism.
ProPublica is the bees knees.
I don’t recall the media covering the fake electors of the Jan 6 coup hardly at all. The media loved to cover the big violent crowd becaus it was flashy. However, the fake elector scheme was the more significant crisis in my mind. That showed a planned and coordinated effort by people in power to subvert democracy.

You probably don’t recall because you aren’t paying attention.
It was indeed covered:

I think this is getting to the core of how Trump has been so successful. Every important story is drowned out by an endless flood of shit. Good journalism still exists, but it has gotten almost impossible to find as news channels rush to cover the latest distraction Trump is up to. The real stories drown in the bullshit.
Long story short I think it’s possible to pay attention and nevertheless miss out on important stories, due to the fundamental flaws of the information ecosystem. It’s really only necessary to write one story about something like this, but whatever Trump is up to gets a new story every hour.
Precisely.
No, the people who needed to be convinced were the on-the-fence independents who stupidly thought they’d get a better economy under “Trump the successful businessman” than Kamala “Joe Biden 2.0 Harris.” They’re the ones who dismissed Trump’s stated plans as bluster; the people you’re talking about knew he wasn’t joking and were counting on it.
It was fucking laid out in P2025 and from the mouths of the billionaires
Arrest him. The fuck
For what. He has full immunity according to the Supreme Court.
Not according to Senor Guillotine.
I believe that would be Monsieur Guillotine
Pardon my French.
No, no. “Arrest.”
As in “stop in his tracks.”
How was anyone supposed to know he was gonna do the things he said he wanted to do.
Don’t leave out the part where all public school male students would be required to take military aptitude screening…one step shy on universal conscription
tbf, an america politician actually honestly laying out what the intend to do to the public and then carrying out is a massive outlier
They craved an honest politican. They got one.
I mean, apart from all the tax avoidance, tax evasion, grift, graft and sinecures.tbf, republicans have been completely honest about those aspects of their corruption for decades
He said he had nothing to do with project 2025 tho.
Whenever the dipshit says something, the opposite is always the truth.
Trump lied
Damn, doing p2025 but the exact opposite would be a pretty rad society.
A republic, if you can keep it
So…. I am going to express my opinion that Trumpism is merely the latest, not so different, expression of American capitalism that has always been this nasty and poisonous. And this includes the raids and round ups currently in the news.
There are some things that changed: the targets and oppressed have changed for some. The messaging has changed.
It’s a fad. This will fade soon enough, and things will still be bad. The good guys will be elected and clean up some of the stuff, but most of what they do will be ineffective. And then the next bad guy will come to power
Who are the “good guys”? The only remotely non-evil person who had a serious bid for president is Sanders, the rest are straight up pieces of shit who bankroll genocides, bomb civilians, and empower their billionaire donors. Even then, Sanders is ineffective, somewhat zionist, and old, and I don’t see a viable young replacement even for someone like him.
In the US, the political mainstream isn’t “good guys vs bad guys”, it’s 80% hitler vs 100% hitler.
I feel like there are not any good and effective leaders or movements. At least not nationally
Stalin was not capitalist. This happens in spite of the economic system.
Baffling
History
History? What does that have to do with a crank inserting a non sequitur?
Based on what toady Mike Johnson and trump have been saying today/yesterday about how the GOP should control elections, I have a lot of worry that there will never be any more “good guys” elected.
Many states have elections that do not allow recounts, using hidden methods to count, and flunk the same fraud checks used pretty in other counties reliably.
Given that, I’m not too worried
And the ability to purge voter registrations within days of the election. Couple that with reduction in voting locations in heavy blue areas and kicking other methods entirely…
Exactly.
What Donald is doing has always occurred. It’s just been better hidden, and he doesn’t care to hide any of it. The corruption we’re seeing now is only new if you’ve never cracked open a history book.
In 2024, everything was already laid out for everybody to see clear as day - Trump1.0, MAGA’s behavior since 2021, Project 2025…
BTW, in 2016, both Mary Trump and Tony Schwartz predicted Jan 6 21: “If he loses the next election, he won’t go willingly.”
Ever since Jan 6 21 it’s been crystal clear where this goes if he wins again.
Ever since Jan 6 21 it’s been crystal clear where this goes if he wins again.
“Wins again” as in violating another part of the constitution (22nd amendment)?
I meant it from the POV of 2021, so “wins again in 24”
It’s not against the constitution for Vance to serve 2 terms as president with Trump as VP, and we all know Trump will cuck Vance to effectively still be acting President.
The 12th Amendment explicitly forbids this:
no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States
Indeed, Medvedev and Putin did the same thing.
That’s still different from “wins again”.

The current stance of the president of the Heritage Foundation seems to be that if the left does not take up arms, MAGA will take over everything, permanently.
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.
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.

Rightoids are unbelievably predictable. Meet one in public and you could guess everything that comes out of their mouth from the very beginning of the conversation
Only actual fucking idiots are unable to realize how predictable rightoids are
And still it’s being allowed to happen
