when 1/3 of the electorate can't be bothered to get off their asses to vote, and another third continue to vote for oligarchs over humanity, the chances of any real meaningful change in America is slim to none.
And slim took an extended vacation back in the reagan days

We had 600 mass shootings in 2020, 2021 & already in 2022, with the deadly month of December left. Xmas in America.

Yet itโs fascinating that he admires his Jewish son-in-law ๐ค weird isnโt it โฆ
Why are people still shocked that GOP has been silent on Trumpโs dinner with #NaziNick & #KKKanye?
I feel like a broken record but once again:
TRUMP NEVER CHANGED THE GOP-
HE
REVEALED
THEM
It's who they have always been & their silence in the face of flagrant anti-Semitism is ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Now you see why there are only 2 Jewish GOP in all of Congress & shame on them-Zeldin & Kustoff

The American Nazi Party supported Reagan in 1980 and Reagan only pretended to ignore them โฆ
Only 12 years ago the GOP use to distant themselves from people who only dressed up like Nazis now they invite them to dinner. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rich-iott-slammed-by-republicans-for-nazi-re-enactments/

Hey fellow oldie goldies. Get boosted and mask up. The stats aren't good.

Although I have loved all of #StarTrek since 1966, I only enjoy its idealism as entertainment and distraction. I am sure we humans will never get there, but I really do wish something unexpected will happen that will prove me wrong. Maybe some baby born today will fix the future by fixing humans โฆ Then I will never know โฆ

The #SCOTUS appointed by #Republicans is helping them in destroying American democracy and the previous freedoms gained by the citizens of this country. Soon there may not be anything left. The governments of other countries that look up to the US may also start to fail. I remain very pessimistic for the future. #Politics NOT as usual โฆ
@QueenOfEverything @ExPatExp88 @Jakki @LnzyHou @sghamel @OldCountryDoctor Citizens United will be debated in law schools for decades as an example of how SCOTUS made a mistake. So will Dodds.

I am expat as well and to see the US from outside is very disturbing to many. The US is no longer looked upon as a leader and example for the world but rather somewhat of a joke. Speaking to friends here, locals, they don't understand how it could have happened. #politics
@OldCountryDoctor @QueenOfEverything the floor parallel I can think of between the rise of Fascism in Germany and what's happening here is how they marginalized certain groups.
In Germany it was the Jews
Here it's immigrants, legal and illegal, and now the gay community.
You can almost see the signs of a " Reichstag fire " coming together.

Yes, that was what I was trying to say. Nevertheless, #Trump is a modern #Fascist (among other things), and he was actually in power for 4 years. Establishment of a state ruled by #Fascism seems to usually take longer than 4 years (from history). #Politics #Republicans #AbuseOfPower
