"This election is about JD Vance."

@wdlindsy Among other things, too many of the people who personally remember Hitler and Mussolini and actually lived through the things they did are gone now. Living memory is a powerful protective force, until it's not.

Surprised that more isn't being said about Trump calling his own supporters lazy fat pigs that have to be chivvied off the couch to vote. (You'd think they'd be offended, but they applauded. #Weird )

But yeah. That quote from #HeatherCoxRichardson about Trump's increasing incapacity is dead on.

Trump is sundowning, and his handlers are trying to hide it.

@wdlindsy

Trump has been grooming both his followers and the corporate media to accept his unacceptable behavior for years.

It's no surprised that the #media is letting Trump grab 'em by the pussy and not objecting. They've been groomed to accept it. And the media, in turn, grooms the public to accept it.

The #FourthEstate is failing America.

@wdlindsy he must not know Jill Stein has her own direct line to Putin

[drwho@hackers.town]

@wdlindsy So, just like last time.

@wdlindsy This is why I can't get my head around any Latinos supporting that guy.
#Republicans hate non-white people.
You're dumb as a brick if you vote for people who want to deport you even if you were born in the United States.

@wdlindsy It's what happens when you cut funding to public education

[snigdha@mas.to]

@wdlindsy when your running partner is JD Vance, it's probably best not to mention couches.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@snigdha Touché. Cleverly noted.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@gdtrfb You're absolutely right. That's key to the entire mess the nation is in now. One of our two major parties has sought to dismantle public education for years now, has kept education underfunded, has impeded students' ability to get all the education they want. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@originlbookgirl I agree.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@drwho Absolutely. Teflon.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@nosmaharba I would think so.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@ZhiZhu Yes.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@ZhiZhu "Trump is sundowning, and his handlers are trying to hide it": yes, I think that's exactly what's going on.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@AmbularD Yes. When my generation is gone, a living link to that history will vanish. I grew up hearing stories from and about my uncles who helped liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny, and about my father and his service in the Pacific, including being at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed. The living link I provide as someone who heard the stories will be gone when I and my generation members are gone.

[snigdha@mas.to]

@wdlindsy I couldn't resist!

@wdlindsy The part where it says "Such a huge mission will effectively redefine the purpose of law enforcement: the principle is no longer to make all people feel safe, but to make some people feel unsafe" would seem to imply that the purpose of law enforcement is to make all people feel safe, and if its purpose were to make some people unsafe, that would be a change.

If that's not what he meant, then fair enough.
