A simple google search shows that corporate media doesn’t mention that he is a Christian nationalist.

This is a thread.

Trump just appointed this guy Russell Vought who is a Christian nationalist for a position to run the White House budget office again ( he is a co-author of the Project 2025).

Politico published an article about this guy at the beginning of the year and that he is a Christian nationalist.

Reminder Trump won his election with the slimmest popular vote margin in history, it is not a mandate

Trump lost first 3 battles he took on as president-elect.
1. He failed to stop Schumer getting Biden judges appointed before the new session.
2. Senate Republicans rejected #MAGA candidate for majority leader.
3. Senate Republicans shut down his AG candidate in 8 days.

Don't give up, don't lose hope, because then he wins

I've said it before but it bears repeating:

Anyone unfamiliar with the Accelerated Christian Education private- & home-schooling system needs to familiarize themselves because this is exactly what all those "private school vouchers" are intended to pay for.

Talking about fascism still is not normalized in conversations. With like-minded friends, yes, but in general people still clam up. Are worried it’s “over-reacting”? Are they uninformed? Disbelieving? The sad scary slippery slope in Weimar. Sophie Scholl was guillotined at 21 years old for distributing warnings about who the Nazis really are. She died thinking her punishment for the pamphlets was worth it because other people would know and do something after she was killed. But did they? no

Are Trump voters morally responsible for the harms that will follow from his policies?

Obviously the same argument applies to people who voted for Biden in the last election, or any other president, whether in the U.S. or elesewhere.

This year's turkey has been acquired.

I stood there staring at the selection for what seemed like an inordinate amount of time. Which one of these birds deserved a good home? That one there looks like an asshole. This other one looks stubborn. Yet others I'm sure would have been passable, but I knew the moment I saw it which one was mine.

It was sitting in a corner of the freezer bay, untouched by the others and looking quite rejected.

I'm sure I saw it smile when I added it to the cart.

If you can deport *one* person who's a native born citizen, with whatever convoluted rationale you like, then ultimately you can deport *every* native born citizen for *any* reason. The precedent is set.
