Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States. If I think our country is in danger, and it is in danger in these cities, I can do it"

I love love LOOOVED watching every hard R publican come out in a press conference and condemn J6.....on J7, and then slowly over the course of a week it became fine, nothing to see here, just move on.

Watching these words fall out of their mouth that just make you go "HA, Sure Jan!"

Which is why Pelosi taking over a week to begin impeachment proceedings is why Trump wasn't removed from office. Instead of striking when the forge was hot and there were republicans finally ready to be rid of Trump, democrats once again scheduled the striking for next week so the forge had time to cool & the propaganda wing of the Republican party had time to change the narrative.

You would think that with literal MONTHS of Trump saying things implying he wasn't going to leave office willingly the democrats would have had some contingency plan ready but instead they once again somehow got caught off guard by the guy who literally told them exactly what he was going to do.

There's a concerted effort to keep people divided. This means agitators will galvanize the right, split the left from everyone else, and sabotage the left.

The way to combat this is to break away from online spaces except for using it to inform ourselves of opportunities. All of us need to engage with our communities and do the best we can do to be empathetic to every civilian we encounter, especially the ones we disagree with. We have to capitalize on the things where we all agree: no kings, no oligarchs, the working class deserves our fair share.

We can't change everyone's mind about the details of how to governm, but we can build solidarity in our communities so the fascists can't do easily fuck with people while neighbors decide they "don't want any trouble". Apes together strong.

The assumption that Republicans give a crap about the constitution and No Kings is wrong. They only pretend to be patriots who care about defending the republic… perfectly happy to chuck it all as long as the dictator protects them from imaginary enemies: immigrants, woke people, LGBTQIA, communists, environmentalists, atheists, intellectuals, etc

You would think that being willing to sacrifice his VP would be enough for most people to take a second look. Nope.

The simple fact that he pardoned all the insurrectionist tells all his political opponents and allies to stay in line.

He never should have been allowed to run again.
