@wdlindsy yeah, no matter what happens the people of the United States can only lose. Alas it seems rather clear it's either Trump in the WH or civil war. Unbelievable.

"What is perhaps most disturbing in this iteration of Trump’s terror campaign is the unapologetic denial of truth and the bizarre acknowledgment that making up stories is perfectly justified, even if it puts people in danger. To the Trump campaign, the fact that the claims are not true literally doesn’t matter."

Trump and Vance spun a known lie into the “truth,” and that's terrifying.

As Radley Balko says, what Trump and Vance don't want people to know is that immigrants are making red America great again.
Springfield has lost about a quarter of its population since 1970, as manufacturing plants closed in the 1980s-1990s. In the mid-2010s, city officials began seeking to lure new businesses.
But the local population was aging.

Enter the Haitian community, which was immigrating to the US around the same time and heard that cost of living was low in Springfield and well-paying jobs were available.
Springfield was dying, and Haitian immigrants have given it new life.
"Haitians have grown Springfield’s tax base. Because of TPS, they have Social Security or taxpayer ID numbers, so they pay all the same taxes any other resident pays."

"Those who have made enough money to buy a home now pay property taxes. Those who don’t own a home pay rent, which their landlords then use to pay property taxes. …
The good news is that unless voters give Trump, Vance, and Stephen Miller the chance to ruin it all, immigrants are having a similar effect on other struggling communities across the United States."

"They’re breathing new life into blighted neighborhoods in cities like Detroit and Baltimore, as they’ve always done. But they’ve been revitalizing smaller cities, towns, and rural areas, too."

"This truth—that there is a growing fascist, nationalist movement mirroring what happened in Germany and Italy—is clear in Mr. Trump’s own words—and in Project 2025. I am not making this up. We are in trouble. And unless you want the end of our democracy, I urge you to read Project 2025 here and vote against that vision in November."

@DEDGirl Yes, isn't that a study?

@geonz I agree.
-
@chx I don't see civil war looming on the horizon if Trump loses. There may be violent protests, but that would be far from civil war.

@geonz So it would seem.
-
@wdlindsy Musk just did an encore in Britain inciting riots. I don't think he would stop at such small a scale alas.
-
@chx I think he and his allies definitely want to stir violence. Whether they're capable of creating civil war remains to be seen, I think.

@wdlindsy it is. Most searches say the studies are inconsistent, but these 2 schleps seem to fit the bill. A quick search found this study… https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-65358-6

@DEDGirl Interesting I actually meant, “Isn’t that a study in the kind of faces these folks have?” I didn’t realize there actually was a study. I’m interested to know.
