Gotta admit, I expected this admin to speedrun fascism, but I'd be lying if I said I was expecting it as soon as April

Yah I am getting fucking SICK of all these "owning the right" and "leopards are eating their faces" memes.
THE CONSERVATIVE ORCS ARE CHEERING.
This "engagement culture" has taught us to keep clicking on things that make us feel good, distancing us from the truth and reality.
I swear the left has almost an equally distorted picture of the real world as the right, at least the ones who spend all their days scrolling their curated feeds. We are NOT winning, we are NOT sitting here smug while the conservatives whither into the background, they are fucking in control of the world's wealthiest, most powerful country and they are celebrating every day. The number of worried neolibs out there who lost their 401K's or the like and are booing Republicans at town halls are a minority.
I swear this is why we lost this last election. Too many people checked out, didn't care, figured there was no way people would vote in such an obvious crook... AND YOU NEVER CHECKED WHAT THE OTHER SIDE WAS SEEING AND DOING.
Fucking 55% of eligible voters showed up. And now we're gonna lose it all because too many of you thought yourselves the main characters who didn't need to make a choice.
I kept telling people that Frederick Douglas helped Lincoln's campaign at a time when Lincoln couldn't promise to end slavery. I got called every name in the book for suggesting that a less than perfect candidate was much better than an absolute fascist.
Related: a lot of our current problems have been festering for the last century+ since we didn't finish the job after the civil war. If instead of helping the landowners who incited the rebellion rebuild plantations without slaves and subsidizing their production, if we ignored the financial and diplomatic repercussions and just hung the bastards and took their assets, it would have served a much stronger precedent and then maybe we wouldn't have had organizations like Daughters of the Confederacy re-writing our textbooks for the last hundred fucking years. (My grandmother was one.)
Slavery never went away, they just became sharecroppers, which is a form of slavery.
SCOTUS ruled that sharecropping was a form of slavery in the 1960s. BTW, Clarence Thomas and Roberts want to overturn that ruling....
Which, given proper context, should put them high in the running for scum of all existence.
My conservative relatives on the wealthier side are upset, at least. These economic policies and Musk's foolishness have soured them enough to question their media consumption.
You just described my mom's YouTube feed. Just metric fucking tons of copium. The Midas Touch has like 20 videos a day, each of them with titles like Trump BLASTED by Immigration JUDGE! or Trump suffers MAJOR LOSS and FREAKS OUT or Trump has PANICKED MELTDOWN as he meets HIS FATE in COURT!!1!
None of this is true. It's all happy fantasy. The sky is literally falling, but these fuckwits are saying it's ok, go have a picnic, everything is working out, and all you have to do is go look outside and see THEY'RE COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT.
One side is setting everything on fire, while the "other" side is busting out marshmallows and graham crackers.
I checked the mtg one and yup people were cheering him getting removed.
It's that the one where they tazer the minority?
I just saw the initial removal. Then she talked about how Democrats are violent, to make everyone assume he was a Democrat.
