The most free country on the planet is now the most fascist.
Way to go America, yer fuckin’ winning.
The most free country on the planet...
Well you see that is the neat part, the us was never that. They like to say that they are, but no.
Now its just so blatantly wrong that no amount of rah rah usa will work.
Not the most, yet, but getting close!
You mean like when he wasted shit tons of money deploying the national guard to those places so they could sit on their ass, sleep in hallways, and then eventually leave because they weren't needed and no one asked for them in the first place?
Don't frame it like it won't turn out to be a big deal. That's a bad idea, intentional or not. Deploying military assets against American citizens should be considered a serious escalation every single time it happens.
Trump rapes little kids.
How did an allegedly civilized country allow one of the worst people imaginable to become their leader?
The Republicans have been waging war against our education system for 50+ years, and brainwashing their constituents. It's a literal cult.
I’ve been asking that a lot lately too. I think a lot of people are extremely susceptible to the kind of propaganda that the right wing media peddles and they’re too dumb to know or don’t care to know the difference between opinions and news. Add to that the fact that the right wing has been politicizing everything and waging war on entertainment and there’s a lot of people in this country that only seem to get their news and entertainment from places like Fox News.

Are they Democrat cities by any chance? I assume he won’t also deploy them to Republican cities?
One thing that the mayors of all of those cities have in common is that they are Democrats. One thing. There is another.
And they're Black.
That is indeed the other thing.
Yes, cities are overwhelmingly liberal.
Trump will disovle the states quickly from here in my opinion. He doesn't like any executive authority except his in my opinion, and the Trump administration will make the country out of a few hundred corporate counties run by the richest fascist in each corporate county in my opinion.
I'd say by the end of September in my opinion.
What else do you say IN YOUR OPINION
Wow digital screaming at a very interesting part of my opinion. These days it is very important to delineate fact from opinion.
But that is just like ... ya know ... my opinion.
Guess I need to get more storm matches.
