      So long as we keep doing violence to those weaker than us the american project will keep rolling along. Your average burger is fine with the abuse if you show them an immigrant getting it ten times worse.

    Trump just spreads his cheeks and takes a massive dump on the military and they lap it up and come back for more, it’s amazing really.

    Why would a dem even join the military?

    You’re literally a political minority in a fascist regime, the fact you think violent crime is wrong marks you as a dangerous radical according to society.

    In all seriousness - I can’t even imagine what the dem plan is. Their own rallying cry of “We’ll see him in court!” sounds really fucking stupid now.

    There are some Bluesky libs that love to repeat their mantra “Executive orders are not laws.” And it’s brilliant argumentation from their perspective. That’s 100% technically true. The problem is that in this Trumpian reality it’s 100% so fucking what.

    My old joke was… Democrats want to win arguments. Republicans want to win elections.

    My new joke is in progress and it needs to be edited down somehow… Democrats now want to win arguments more than ever. Republicans now want to win by any means necessary and totally humiliate own the libs at every opportunity.

    Edit. We are way beyond “own” now.

      Executive orders are absolutely laws as long as the state enforces them.
