I think we saw that during his first term. But alas, we did shit about the writing on the wall. And now it’s undoubtedly too late. We royally fucked up.

Was it the ICE/ Blackshirt/ Gestapo tactics, refusing to follow the law, blackmailing, or assaults on women, nope, he’s messing with the money.

All of this is old news– we know the feller is a bit short of a six pack, etc…
The conversation hasn’t changed.
It needs to change.
What are Dems going to do about it? Who is our leader? How are we fighting back?
Calling Donnie a pig fucker sways no one. We need our own identity. We need the midterms. We need a reason to tank this stuff.
The 2020 playbook is over. We need substance and leadership, not shrill screaming and pointing.

Well, that’s ’cos there’s this one guy in the ‘30s & ‘40s whom he admires.

*Guys. We know that academics and activists and religious leaders and politicians have been talking about this for ages but a really rich white guy is saying it so now we should be paying attention.*

Of course. That’s why his followers like him and why the oligarchs prefer him to democracy. They’re fascists.

Ray needs to do something about it. The only difference between him and anyone else is he owns a ton of money. Put that money to work towards freedom or shut the fuck up Ray.

Would the billionaire like a gold star for the most obvious observance ever?

Why am I listening to a billionaire investor and not a historian? Does this guy having money make him an authority on political establishments?

Which part? The xenophobic rhetoric, promoting an insurrection, demanding blind loyalty, propaganda, silencing the media, greed, incompetence, erasing history, promoting conspiracy theories? I’m shocked

He’s using Hitler’s playbook working for billionaires and they are allowing all this bullshit.
As soon as he doesn’t give them tax cuts/favors, they will funnel money to Pubs to impeach their own guy with Dems in tow of course. It’s a very fucked up timeline in the States right now.

It’s a feature not a bug. Fascists vote for fascism.

No matter how many people raise the alarm about Trump emulating far-right tyrants, and working to consolidate power, those warnings are waved off and treated like it’s some hyperbolic sensationalism. But this isn’t hyperbole. These are legitimate warnings about the unquestionable actions of this man. He really is a wannabe tyrant. He really believes that he is above the Constitution. He really believes that he’s not subject to our system of checks and balances. He issues absurd Executive Orders like the edicts of Julius Caesar’s day rather that bothering to promote legislation. None of this is normal. And despite being frogs in a slowly boiling pot of water, we have to keep reminding ourselves just to how abnormal it is.

Now the rich has gotten their cut of profits from tax breaks, they are turning against him. When they supported him in the beginning

The signs were *always* there. And yet… he got into The White House.
Twice.

Gee, if everyone would have read a little history BEFORE the election, it wouldn’t be such a big surprise now.
