This is a meme with a photo of the bloated orange moron (Trump) and it is a parody of β€œThe Last of Us.” 

It looks like the ad for the show and it says: 

SEASON 2 REALLY, REALLY F*CKIN' SUCKS

HBO Original - The Worst of Us

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Apparently, Republicans want a dictatorship, they certainly aren't doing anything to try to rein Trump in.

Social Security offices closing down, economy in a tailspin, and your 401k is up in smoke. They know you counted on these things but they just don't care. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va2T...

Stupid Coup Month Three: Two Plus Two Is Still Four Imagine you were on a ship, and reports kept coming to you that the new captain and his crew had done a series of strange things--jettisoned the anchor, blew some holes in the hull, shredded the sails...

Imagine you were dealing with a person who would report that there was two and there was also this other two but didn't want to add them up to get to four, because getting all the way to four felt like making a statement and they didn't want to alarm anybody or be accused of making an accusation.

Is performative cruelty, still just cruelty? Or is it somehow a lesser form of cruelty?

How Denmark’s Social Democrats Are Succeeding With Stricter Immigration Policies Around the world, progressive parties have come to see tight immigration restrictions as unnecessary, even cruel. What if they’re actually the only way for progressivism to flourish?

This article in the New York Times suggests a way forward for Democrats with regard to immigration

An escalation of violence against anyone who opposes the current administration cannot be far off

So, first he pardons all the January 6th criminals, and then he tells people it's okay to break the law. Seems like a formula for a lot more violence directed toward anyone who tries to stop Trump.
