I’m not condemning anything or anybody. There are plenty of good Americans in Trump’s Nazi America like there were plenty of good Germans in Hitler’s Nazi Germany. But good minorities in fascist countries don’t make those countries any less fascist.

It doesn’t matter. You can’t cherry-pick. A majority of Germans also didn’t vote for Hitler, yet it was called “Nazi Germany” after the election and nobody denies it on the basis that he didn’t get the absolute majority of the votes.

America voted for fascism. I don’t care if only a third of Americans are actively fascist, another third stayed home like the fat lazy slobs they are, and the remaining third lost to the first one: the net result is a fascist America.

When a majority of Americans vote for fascism, that makes America a fascist nation. You may be a nice guy but you’re not in the majority, so you’re not representative of this country.

As for being nice, why should I be nice with this piece of refuse human being?

This racist bitch is proof that Trump and MAGA did not happen in a vacuum: she IS America. - the racist, bigoted, fascist America that this nation truly is.

Using Copilot even as a mere coding assistance is insane, if no other reason than you’re sending all your code to Microsoft, and you also let them monitor your work habits in uncomfortably intimate details.

I didn’t do it on purpose. It just happened. I guess living out in the sticks does help: it’s not like we don’t have electricity or internet out here, but the first neighbor is 3 miles away, the town is 5 miles, and we have real starry nights here. So it’s quite easy to turn off the light and experience a, quiet peaceful night at the hours at which sleep should be happening naturally.

I fall asleep around 8 or 9 pm and I wake up around midnight or 1am, watch something quiet and peaceful so I learn something interesting without falling fully awake - and more importantly without waking up the missus - then I simply fall back asleep until 5 am.

I live above the arctic circle, so when it’s winter, I usually sleep longer. And when it’s summer and it’s daytime all night long, of course I sleep less. But on average, I sleep 2 x 4 hours per night. I feel just as refreshed as when I slept 1 x 8 hours. But perhaps feel less “disconnected”, if that makes any sense.

I practice biphasic sleep - have done for decades.

I usually put on a light documentary - something about nature or technology, not exciting, terrible or controversial.

I have written off the United States myself. And I’m a former American. My personal date for the official death of the American republic is Apr 14 - the day Trump disobeyed a court for the first time.

If you think I’m being dramatic, consider this: Kilmar Abrego García is still in a concentration camp in El Salvador.

With that in mind, I’ll be pleasantly surprised if America recovers from this bout of MAGA fever, but I’m not holding my breath. Reich however, being still an American and still living in America, and still involved in trying to make Things Better™, obviously has a different outlook and is probably more hopeful than I am.

At any rate, Reich is always informative and pedagogic, and always worth a watch.

It’s probably the cost to produce them. That’s real countable money.

The Cybertruck has always been a vehicle designed by a childish mind for equally puerile customers. Now it’s also a strong indicator that you might be a bit of a Nazi if you own one.

So yeah, I don’t expect it to sell too well, as most motorists are adults who tend to dislike Nazis, or would prefer it if they didn’t have to worry constantly about their vehicle being defaced by non-Nazi adults.

Youtuber Johnny-come-lately gets way too much attention.

With such sharp partisan divides, the GOP having unified control and the rich having a vested interest in keeping this dead horse of an economy alive, that’s not a realistic option.

I guess what I meant was, how do even GOP critters stand for this? It’s supposed to be the party of law and order, and they behave like servile little yes-men fascist enablers.

I’ve never had any great love of the Republican party, but even I admit that the staunchest traditional Republicans had 10 times more morals and principles than those MAGA asswipes and would have done something about their rogue fascist racehorse with the Democrat minority. The current crop of fake Republican magats is appalling. That’s what’s truly unbelievable.

Any past POTUS who would have said or done a thousand of what this demented orange peel says and does would have been impeached faster than you can say “Does that guy sound fascist or is it just me?”

How is this madman still in office? How is that even possible?

Calculating the number of hours I had left on Earth, and realizing that every hour I spent fretting about shit that doesn’t matter is an hour I won’t spend having the best possible time on this dirtball with my family and my friends before I kick the bucket.

Once I “let go” and decided nothing really mattered, it felt like my whole body finally deeply relaxed for good.

All Trump’s cabinet picks were doomed from the start.

I have an idea: I’m gonna tattoo “NOT” on my knuckles, so that when someone photoshops “MS13” on my hands, Trump won’t deport me.
Genius!

IANAL but my attorney once told me he witnessed a guy defending himself in court for involuntary manslaughter saying “I didn’t see the red light because I was drunk.”

some of them have shown you they’re Nazi sympathizers

It’s been known for years that the magats are Nazi sympathizers. And if you had any doubt, very senior figures have warned everybody very bluntly that Trump was a fascist.

So if any of your friends and family was a Trump sympathizer, you should have known long before the election that they were at least Nazi-adjacent.

Therefore the only difference between this reality and the one in which Trump is six feet under is that the American 4th Reich hasn’t happened yet in the latter (but most likely will, because Trump is only a symptom of something deeper and profoundly disturbing in the American society).

The alternative reality Earth where Thomas Matthew Crooks aimed ever-so-slightly more to the right.

It’s way worse than that because what’s on the line here is the ability of the GestapoICE to wait for immigrants in courts, effectively depriving them of due process. Because who’s going to show up in court when they know they’ll be arrested and sent off to a Salvadorian concentration camp?

The judge didn’t need to be cuffed and stuffed. This was a show to warn other judges that this shit is coming to their courthouse too.
