Liberal progressive Gen X here for the news & politics/ pro-science/ 🚫social hierarchy/ agnostic atheist/ I believe the USA can be the exceptional egalitarian, multiracial, pluralist democracy alluded to in our founding, but, not yet fully realized.

I think most people that leave religion tend to gravitate to overall human welfare- (humanism). Rich people, on the other hand, lean into hierarchies and "meritocracy" to rationalize their position over others and abdicate them of any responsibility to help others (right wing).

This makes a lot of sense. Rejecting a theistic worldview lends to accepting a humanist one. Humanism is the foundation of social liberalism.

They're getting good at trolling us while simultaneously gratifying their Nazi base. I like the gestures after the Sieg Heil as if he was "communicating" something to "someone" about "something" that facilitate the deniability.

The central lie β€” the key dishonesty β€” of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

America elected a Robber Baron that has built a regime to usher in a new Gilded Age. Watch this video to see how history is literally repeating.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

The White House website is being run by mean middle-schoolers right now. I would not have believed that these were real posts if I didn't click the link.

Jeffries on a death threat made against him by a pardoned J6 criminal: "Not a single Republican has reached out to me since that incident occurred, and that's no surprise because they cannot defend the fact that Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers."

6/ Trump and the white nationalists that surround him aren't even hiding their racist aims any longer.

This proposal is a gross betrayal of the refugee program’s intent and will be an indelible stain on America's reputation.

We won't easily recover from this.

Not only does this Administration only want white immigrants- it prefers those of the Nazi variety.

Ask him every day until he "has time to get the details."

A key function of Congress is to oversee the executive branch. Every time Mike Johnson pulls this simpering act, he's abrogating his oath as Speaker.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

They're pushing the false narrative that Reps pull themselves up by their bootstraps, while only Dems seek hand outs from the government.

The entire goal of this new MAGA GOP is the relegitimization of institutional racism, social hierarchy and abusive misogyny.

It's fitting that Trump's addition to the White House that will cement his name in national history will not be new workspace for staff. It will be wasteful space for wealthy elites to frolic and grandstand.

Platner is a double agent candidate. Nazis are now trying to infiltrate government by pretending to be liberals.

The new white supremacist infiltration technique: double-agent candidates. The problem with amoral liars, though, is that they usually have a "tell".

Trump sees himself in liars, grifters, and abusers. He sees these men as "winners" that deserve whatever they want.

Trump is devoted to making racism and "boys will be boys" sexual harrassment and abuse acceptable again.
