If anti-fascism is now terrorism, does that mean being pro-fascism is a government-approved lifestyle choice? That’s like saying: “Fire is bad, so from now on, water is illegal.”

The reality is antifa has about as much structure as a bowl of spaghetti. No leader, no office, no batcave. Declaring it a terrorist group is less a security measure and more a sign that someone tried to fight an abstract noun—and lost.

Everyone can see similarities with the Ukraine "negotiation" in items 1,2, and 3 at least.
"The Art of the Deal" is no deal.

Example of trump's negotiated end: Afghanistan
1. Sidelined Afghan Government
2. Concessions Without Gains
3. Weak Counterterror Provisions
4. Released Hardened Taliban Fighters

Weak negotiations collapsed Afghanistan's government government and the rapid Taliban takeover following U.S. withdrawal

links immigration directly to the “erosion” of culture and social cohesion, ignores the principle that dissent, protest, and calls for reform are part of our patriotic tradition, lies the Right “builds” while the Left “destroys,” that only conservative policies have delivered prosperity and unity.

alongside a deeper American tradition of dissent and reform that makes the United States resilient and dynamic.
He mischaracterizes Democratic coalitions, contradicts his own voting bloc analysis, uses “Hatred as Principle” as a Strawman,

Vance’s speech relies on caricatures, rhetorical exaggeration, and selective analysis of voting blocs to paint a negative image of Democratic politics and urban voters. Real pluralism, issue-based organizing, and positive policy vision is present in Democratic movements—

dipshit president to fight imaginary crime wave in dumbest way possible how fucking stupid is this?

I've enjoyed Jeff Tiedrich's posts for quite a while now, where his slogan is "everyone is entitled to my own opinion" Today's message is a masterpiece take down of President Cookedbooks McHushmoney. substack.com/home/post/p-...

'Abolished': State Department is laying off over 1,300 employees under Trump administration plan The State Department is firing over 1,300 employees in line with a dramatic reorganization plan initiated by the Trump administration earlier this year.

"If you don't fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition" was said by General James Mattis, former U.S. Secretary of Defense and retired Marine Corps general before members of Congress at a National Security Advisory Council in 2013.

His use of these descriptors is not random; it's a deliberate strategy to dehumanize and delegitimize targeted groups, foster an “us vs. them” mentality, and motivate his base by appealing to fear, resentment, and a sense of victimhood.

Jokes about Puerto Ricans “making babies,” “floating island of garbage”

Even use of the word "The" in front of group names reinforces an “us v. them” mentality (The Muslims, The Mexicans, The African Americans)
