@rbreich because republicans all still believe it is possible to get in on the power consolidation they enabled. the idea "I supported it so I get a share"

but what they imagine can happen is at odds with reality. trump does not share power. neither will the next one.

they played it wrong. they voted on feelings against facts. and now they've got no money and a gestapo that will come for them whenever it wants.

like all members of any group, republicans are socialists on the inside.

@rbreich Schumer and Jeffries REFUSE TO FIGHT TO DEFUND ICE!!!

It's tag team hell here, in America, where only wealthy people have ANY REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER!

The rest of us can just get dragged from our cars, kicked, punched, gang tackled, brutalized, and shot in the face. None of this moves the Democratic party to FIGHT?

THEY INVITE CIVIL WAR!!! We're not going to take much more of this crap. What happens when ICE agents open fire on a crowd? What then?

Every bullet fired at US is courtesy of the 2 political parties WHO DO NOT REPRESENT ANY OF US ANYMORE!

Have a nice day.

@rbreich It's worse. Trump just told Iranian protesters, "help is on its way". Almost identical to the "help is on the way" line from Duck Soup. If it was not so serious, you'd think we were in a Marx Brothers movie.

@rbreich it was never a warning. All GOO messaging is a form of DARVO. Quit giving them the benefit of being bad at what they do and begin understanding it to be the Nazi hate speech it always was.

@rbreich The whole point of conservatism is staring at you in the face:

It’s not hyperbolic to say this. Brain scans & psychological studies confirm: Conservatives don’t treat humans, laws, anything… The same. It always depends on the in-group/out-group.

Conservatism is not a flaw of character; it is literally a fundamental difference in how you perceive and interact with the world.

No one else would hire them at this point, so they pretend the deck chairs are comfortable, and continue to be paid.

Screenshot reads

Sending jack-booted thugs to
invade American cities. Unilaterally launching wars and
plundering foreign nations. Suspending funding for states
that voted against him. Trump is the "big government" nightmare Republicans have
always warned us about.
And yet they're silent.

@rbreich Trump is not acting alone. The republicans are part of it. You should stop phrasing things that put all the guilt on him.. it is all of them and what is happening is what they want. Its a regime, all of them are culpable.

@rbreich I really appreciate the posts.

Why are you screenshotting the post from bluesky? It takes up a lot of space and since you have no alt text people with a screen reader can't see the message at all.
