    One such post featured the image of former President Barack Obama with the caption “All roads lead to Obama. Retruth if you want public military tribunals.”

    This guy needs to go away yesterday. He obviously can’t hold office, his brain is mush. Media giving him attention is just as pathetic as he is.

    The people behind him are far more dangerous and they can’t be allowed to hold power. This shits ridiculous.

      The even bigger problem, is all the people in this country who still support, and dare I say actually like the fascist rhetoric. This is what’s truly horrifying to me.

          And then scream when one of those policies are used against them.

        Fascism feels good. It’s not about the words or logic, it’s about how it feels

      This guy needs to be utterly humiliated. He’s already thought of as a role model by the stupidest parts of America. Anything less will just keep encouraging them. He needs to be exposed for who he really is and how what he does will just end in suffering for anyone who attempts to copy him.

    Trump touted his recently formed TikTok account and accused Harris of having to “PAY FOR HER FAKE ENGAGEMENT” on social media.

    since it is always projection, we can know 100% for a fact that Trump is paying for fake engagement on social media

      LOL it’s so obvious. He just says whatever pops into his head. I’m sure he was talking to someone about his engagement numbers earlier that day, and paying to prop up the numbers was discussed.

        I can see it. He then stews over Harris’ numbers and success, and decides she must have done the same thing.

        There’s no way he could be beaten fairly, after all. He’s the best, they all say that, they- good people, very good people, the best- they walk up to him, he didn’t ask them, they come to him and they say- they say a lot of nice things, the best things- and these are good people, smart people, but they tell him he’s the smartest, the greatest, and-

        If I keep this up I’ll probably cringe to death. Anyway, if he can’t be beaten fairly, then Harris must be cheating. That justifies him cheating as well, but since she cheated first, she’s wrong to cheat.

          \8. Those on the other side of the political spectrum rarely attribute strength to the progressive side. Perhaps in numbers only, and only tacitly.

          \14. This is actually the first I’ve seen of the political right being accused of reinventing language. Language craft is a gold medal I would have awarded the political left without hesitation.

          \4. Also would have more strongly correlated with political left spaces, if my own experience is anything to go by.

            Counterpoints:

            8 - The left is the mainstream media, the coastal elites, the woke mob, the invasion of immigrants, etc. These are all powerful forces that must be stopped.

            14 - “fake news”, “the woke mind virus”, demonization of “CRT”, “LGBT”, “DEI”, etc. Also note Trump’s vocabulary - he speaks like a middle schooler.

            4 - maybe, sometimes. But the mob-like mentality of Trump’s supporters cannot be ignored.

            And just because progressives share some aspects does not mean that MAGA doesn’t. MAGA is fascism, dude.

              I’m still trying to grapple with progressive language taxonomy.

              How did the term fascism all of a sudden become revived linguistically to simply mean “conservative”. Back to point #14 on the reinvention of language.

              “Tankie”. This one is fun. Is it derived from video game language “tank”? Someone or something who can soak up a lot of hits? It doesn’t sound derogatory because of this, but rather congratulatory. Are progressives using this term because of its association with military tanks (and hence, militaristic fascism)?

              Enshittification - Noteworthy to me how this has come to only be used in progressive left spaces. Rightists, despite also observing the gradual worsening of tech, for whatever reason do not have this word in their lexicon. I am familiar with Cory Doctorow btw, and have been to some of his talks.

                Conservatives use fascist to describe their opponents just as much as leftists. Doesn’t change the fact that Donald Trump is a literal fascist.

                  Harris and Biden are complicit in Genocide. It can’t get more Fascist than that. You guys are doing the pointing Spidermen meme now.

                  No, they don’t. I also tour a number of conservative online spaces and I have never seen them use the term fascist to describe anyone.

    According to the progressive watchdog Media Matters, the former president promoted QAnon — an expansive conspiracy that claims Trump is waging battle against satanic forces that control the government — at least 15 times on Wednesday morning. These included images using the conspiracy slogan “Where We Go One, We Go All,” and references to the conspiracy’s belief that “the storm is coming.”

    Another post on the former president’s feed shows Harris, Hillary Clinton, President Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, and Hunter Biden in orange prison jumpsuits. The image text reads “How to actually ‘fix the system.’”

    Trump boosted several posts and comments calling for prominent Democrats to be imprisoned. One such post featured the image of former President Barack Obama with the caption “All roads lead to Obama. Retruth if you want public military tribunals.”

    Wait but they were immune for their “official presidential actions” right?

    I wouldn’t even mind it as long as he puts Bush on the list too. Though it will never happen, it would be hillarious if Trump was the one throwing war criminals in jail
