Tomorrow there'll be a new bill to decriminalize pedophilia.

As a german: this is 1:1 the 3rd Reich playbook.

Stop it as long as you can!

It's too late. It's now on the rest of the world to prepare for the American Nazi regime

It's on the rest of the world, and all the non-fascist Americans, to stop it before it gets worse.

We have no ability to effect any meaningful change at this point outside of high velocity lead poisoning.

I kinda want to leave for good.

You have. Go in the street in masses make sure that Republicans fear you.

Our german constitution allows for violence from civilians to protect the democratic order if any other means failed.

We have this for good reasons. To make sure we don't ever end up with a dictatorship again.

It will pe painful, it will be ugly, but if you wait to long this is the only way

In America, our system works like this:

The police will shoot you, maybe burn your house or neighborhood down, steal everything you own, Lock you up without charges, and then if you can ever afford a lawyer to sue them you might get out of jail only to find the burned-out hole in the ground you used to live in was sold to a property developer and none of the money found its way to you.

You also owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes on the burned down house for the time you were in jail, but all of the money for selling the house was given to some scam artist who knew you wouldn't be able to stop them.

You can't afford to go to the doctor, but a third of your income is spent on health insurance. It takes 2 hours of work to afford a dozen eggs. You no longer have a car because they towed it from your driveway while you were locked up and you can't even afford to get it out of impound despite the fact that every day the cost of storing the vehicle goes up by more than you earn.

This country is a fucking nightmare for so many people.

The smug childishness of a grade school bully who got you in trouble after you lost your shit and finally punched back. These assclowns are infuriating.

…brought to you and sponsored by a pedophile.

Your 2025 GOP All Star lineup!

I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they've simply skipped that part during their reading?

Conservatives are wild. I don’t know if they intentionally do it but their behavior is absurd. Obsessed with Obama’s birth certificate, LeTs Go BrAnDoN, and even super whacky shit like QAnon and trying to prove Michelle Obama is a man. They hate “mainstream media” yet Fox News is one of the biggest networks. They’re all about merit yet discount anything AOC says, who’s smart and studied, because she bartended. And now they want to turn the tables, claim they are and have always been normal, and it’s people who disapprove of Trump who are deranged. It makes no sense.

People keep posting that Sartre quote about anti-semites, but that’s the point.

It’s not about the actions, it’s about who is doing them.

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I had forgotten about it. The quote is spot on.
