    I will say that I am getting mighty fucking tired of saying “I told you so” to everyone who thought I was “alarmist” and “catastrophizing” about this trajectory for most of the last 8 fucking years

      Same here. Most especially to the so-called “leftists” that were pretending - and keep pretending - that there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans.

        if by all appearances, it is Russian propaganda, Let’s just call them Russian propagandists.

        Maybe if democrats embraced a few progressive platform planks we wouldn’t have elected Ted one of the most unpopular candidates ever. Twice.

    The NAZIs started with queer people too. The right wing has really ramped up their transphobia in the last decade or so. They are following the playbook.

    I’m really glad they’re standing up to him, but they have a huge endowment. I think they’ll be okay and probably took that into consideration.

    Some9ne just posted a quote from Frank Zappa warning about this being the worst outcome for us in '86. Yeah… Its not only a threat. This is domination right now. Its won and we need to fight again.
