"It’s wild to me that Trump’s fascism is only now breaking through as a major news story. Trump’s ideology has been evident from the start, and in every election cycle, his closing argument always comes down to white supremacy, fascism, hate, and white...

@i_gvf I think anyone with eyes wide open who's been following American politics for some years now knows that Trump is not the sole problem. It's nearly half of Americans who eat up all that's he's offering. He is their face in the mirror, and they are every bit as much of the problem as he is.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Huntn00 You're absolutely right.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@johnelalamo I believed him the first time he showed us who he was.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@MugsysRapSheet A good suggestion. I've seen some good commentators suggesting that today, too.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@pawsplay Same here.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@NotErsichtlic Yes, it does, for sure.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@GreenRoc Their ability to pride themselves in their lack of compassion also makes me sick.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Tribune Thanks for that reminder. Mitch Mc has much, much to answer for.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Piousunyn No, it's not.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@havvyhh2 And yet, here we are.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@jodmentum Watching and weeping.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Vaniaji It is shocking, indeed, how they glory and revel in the hate. The exultation of people with outright murder in their souls.

[shebeencounter@mastodon.world]

@wdlindsy Ah yes, famous protagonist William Kristol whose Iraq war fabrications and general disdain for the media absolutely paved the way for this carnival barking bullshit in the first place

Americans are a rolling embarrassment. Find a spine. I beg of you.

@wdlindsy once we are done stomping his ass on Election Day we spend the next few years chasing every single cowardly GOP asshat out of public office.

[vaniaji@toad.social]

@wdlindsy I hope 11/5 makes it the last time we ever hear from them…again. Just vile, vulgar vitriol…

[vaniaji@toad.social]

@wdlindsy So sorry pigs…we know you have souls…not sure about the convicted felon and rapist.

[mysturji@mastodonapp.uk]

@wdlindsy likewise UK tories. But still not a story.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Shebeencounter I'm unclear as to what in William Kristol's statement you object to.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

"The former president*’s speech was hate radio on scan. He would stick to the teleprompter that he otherwise denied he was using, and then go off on familiar flights of fancy. It was mendacity surrendered to foul, endless cliche, embedded in our politics for the foreseeable future. It was in fact not the banality of evil, but, rather, the evil of banality. The lesser of two evils is still evil."

We Met the Crowd Outside Trump’s N.Y.C. Rally. It Was Awful.

The Garden hosted a Nazi rally in 1939. Let’s remember that the lesser of two evils is still evil.

@wdlindsy Why would I consume anything this man has to offer?

He should be in prison where people like you and I could safely ignore his musings on anything. He's a world-historical ghoul. Of what value does his discredited, broken-clock perspective have?

The Iraq War was obviously a very easy thing for you to wash your hands of, wasn't it? I wonder why that is. Especially since you're trying to build a better world. Which, btw, is something Mr. Kristol has no interest in. Quite the opposite.
