Shockingly stupid. I keep thinking, well that’s the worst, and they are still able to find yet another exploit with which to speedrun fascism.
Trump received 24% of the black male vote in 2024.

If you don’t have any money, maybe you can also help if you have a bit of extra space on your HDD - by mirroring some things (especially in the torrent form and seeding), it will at least be one more redundancy of some things in the worst case.
EDIT: Turns out, there is a [or at least one] tool for it:

Dumbest shit in the world.
This is, for sure, the stupidest timeline.
I assure you, it’s gonna get dumber.
Sadly it will.
Why was the comment downvoted? Does someone think doing those things is a good idea!?
Yup, they are here too. Donaldmusk seems very enamored
To echo the theme song of my favorite 2020 podcast “everything is so dumb, and it’s gonna get dumber!”
Dumbest shit in the world.
So far.
From Tuskegee Airmen to Enola Gay, diversity eradication equals cultural lobotomy.

I just came back from a walk through a nearby, private cemetery. It’s a mix of old and new burials, some dating to the late 1800s. There are a lot of veterans interred there, and yes, some women veterans even! Probably some dark-skinned veterans too. There’s a section that contains many graves of Asians. I can’t read the writing on the stones but I’d guess Chinese - this was a railroad town back in the day and if I recall my HS history correctly, a lot of Chinese labor was used by the RR industry - yes, immigrants! This town still has a lot of Ukrainians and Russians and eastern Europeans, and the cemetery has a section that has a lot of their graves too.
I couldn’t help but wonder how long before all of the documentation of these people, scant as it may be (just stones), gets erased, flushed right down the Memory Hole. It’s a private cemetery but I’m sure there are ways the Musk administration could twist the arms of the board that runs the place. It sounds unthinkable, but until the last week or so, so did the idea of un-documenting a lot of US military history as the article describes.
I might add, this cemetery is about a quarter mile from a VA hospital too, one that’s already seeing cuts. Convenient, once the patients get kicked to the curb to die, they can be disposed of quickly and easily.
Why not just go further? Just ban all blacks and women from joining the military. That’s the goal right? Why don’t they just take that step? They’re going to anyway.
The military should be pure. Only rich, white men should be accepted, to make sure they don’t join for the money or perceived social status. In fact, they should be drafted for the greater good, since making America great again is the highest goal.
What do you mean, bone spurs?
we’ve only just started our 3rd month into fascism, and have already gone full-blown 1984. of course no one will deduce the only plausible inevitable end point to all of this, and in fact will continue unto death saying “hOw DiD tHiS hApPeN?!”
That would require the American people to first have self awareness, second realize they have been bamboozled by foreign powers into harming their own country, leading to third, rejection of American exceptionalism, and finally the requisite action to prevent a dictatorship. Unfortunately we lost the script on step one.
You’re only 1/16 of the way through your fascist end game.
are you basing that on “term limits”? lol cute
Only 45 more months to go. Yeehaw….
America has truly cemented itself in history as one of the most racist countries to ever exist
Always has been
Living there and leaving the place taught me as much. Yucky.
I’m glad ‘The Independent’ changed that title.
Yeah, it was something else. 😬
1984 is a book/fiction … not a manual.
