But what if you REALLY want to eat it?

Yeah, it must be quite jarring to go from this badass

to Kiwi Trump in just a couple years!

Probably depends on jellyfish proximity 🤷

Must have been the wind

He and his cult absolutely revile her.

Perfect opportunity to find out whether or not they’re just going to falsely declare seats for the Republicans that they didn’t actually win, like both the state and federal GOP have been working towards for several years

Being from Denmark, it was pretty freaky to see that top one at first tbh 😄

The foulest of black magic!

Is the enemy weak or strong?

Their effective propagandists are not just exploiting the weaknesses of their marks and of the system they’re pretending to be a part of, they’ve also been CREATING those weaknesses over the course of over half a century.

Pathologizing fascism twists you into these types of knots

Not with a little more specificity.

It’s a literal cult created with the help of decades and decades of brainwashing and underhanded politics to clear the way.

Like with any effective cult, victims don’t have to be especially stupid or gullible to be sucked in, but the longer they remain in the cult, the more warped their reality and the less acute their capacity for any contrary thought processes becomes.

The truth is that the fascist we’re currently seeing proliferate are cunning, deliberate, calculating, and effective

Yes and no: while it’s almost impossible to determine for sure who’s what due to all the overlap between the swindlers and the swindled, most fascists aren’t inherently especially clever or especially dull, they’re just people who believe awful things, with various amounts of agency over it.

That’s one of the worst parts of it: while some are obviously much more susceptible than others due to their environment, preexisting bigotry, lack of empathy etc, almost nobody is COMPLETELY safe from the fascist brainwashing, given enough time and the right environmental factors.

Now is not the time to underestimate the enemy.

On that we agree 100%

Fascism is not the result of stupidity, but the result of measurable deterioration of education, social safety nets, wages, transportation, health, etc…

Oops, looks like we agreed all along lol. Gonna keep this comment as is, though, since it might help elaborate a bit on what you’re trying to say 🤷

non redacted summary

That’s nonsense. By virtue of being a summary, it’s going to exclude things at the discretion of the summarizer.

Bill Barr’s proclamation that the Mueller report exonerated Trump was a summary. I’m not expecting any summary by Bondi or her underlings to be any more accurate or transparent.

Depends on whether or not you consider shorts to be pants. Personally, I do 🤷

It was a hypothetical thought up for laughs 🤷🏻

A racist trying to make it look like he was the victim of a hate crime. That’s a Mississippi state flag in front of him, Confederate version.

Depends on the industry.

You’re absolutely right, I didn’t consider that.

Certain parts of the music industry, and politics too.

“You can adjust for whatever investigations are going on

So in other words, they’re STILL not serious about transparency, knowing full well that those investigations are political theater to distract the base.

So basically most female Wimbledon contestants?

I meant that saying “just do cocaine” to every tired looking coworker is probably inadvisable.

She’s not supporting Palestinians, she’s opposing Jewdom. She’s an ACTUAL antisemite who equates Israel with all Jews and vice versa, not a decent person who opposes genocide.

The reason why that’s important even if her resulting actions are the same is that she’s NOT our ally and the moment we forget it, we lend unearned credence to the ridiculous “anti zionism equals antisemitism” lie that the apologists love so much.

Since it’s under Homeland Security, it would be the dog murderer Gestapo Barbie or one of her underlings.
