    I fucking HATE political weasel words like this. Fucking say the truth. One side is aiming for a fascist dictatorship. The Republicans.

      Back in the 1990s it was pretty accurate. Both parties were trash, okay yeah there was a marginal amount of difference I guess but they were both engaged in fucking the American people and barely distinguishable at the end of the day.

      Since then, the Democrats got a moderate amount better, and the Republicans turned into open Nazis. Anyone still saying “political gridlock” or whatever it is is the problem, had better wake the fuck up.

      The part that really blows my mind is places like the New York Times getting all pissy with Biden, apparently because his staff wouldn’t set up an interview with him or treat the NYT like kings of the realm like they though they deserved, and so they’ve decided to go after him like Joffrey after someone hurt his feelings. They will absolutely be out of work looking for new careers in an unfolding hellscape, at best, or maybe in the dock in a show trial or worse, if Project 2025 gets off the ground. They are literally endangering their own individual personal safety. I don’t get it.
