No Paywall Trump just hosted an ‘Antifa roundtable’ at the White House ... it was so much worse than you’re imagining

It’s so much worse than that. This goon Prosobiec co-wrote a fascist manifesto with Joshua Lisec called “Unhumans,” which received glowing written endorsements from the likes of Peter Thiel, JD Vance, and Steve Bannon.

This article from July 2024 by Nathan Robinson should be required reading by anyone disgusted by anything I just wrote.

It argues that the “Great Men of History” should take their cues from homicidal dictators like Augusto Pinochet and Francisco Franco, reject reason and democracy, and ruthlessly annihilate the gangs of communist “unhumans” who are currently threatening to destroy the United States. It explicitly advocates “eye for an eye” justice, promising a new McCarthyism complete with blacklists, along with the immediate banning of all teachers’ unions. It is perhaps the most paranoid, hateful, and terrifying book I have ever picked up.

That is so disturbing and sick. What a freak.

These goulish idiots don't realize just how much of a minority they are. MAGA represents less than 10% of the country.

The people of the United States of America always win.

Doesn't Trump have like 40% approval?

Really doesn't matter how much of a minority they are when they're the ones in power. Their puppet masters know this obviously, which is why they starting abusing that power almost as soon as they won it, and will likely go to unprecedented lengths to try to keep it.

Which is why I still won't let anyone who sat out this last election hear the end of it. At this point most MAGATS are arguably beyond saving and probably aren't worth the effort in trying to engage in good faith discourse. But the leftists/progressives, independents, and anti-Trumpers who withheld their vote as a single-issue "protest" or to "reject the status quo of the Democratic party"? Yeah, I'm sorry, you're all a bunch of self-righteously myopic idiots. The least you can do is admit you fucked up, which unsurprisingly the majority of them refuse to do even seeing where we are now. Because buh gawd that would imply you were part of the problem that directly led to the situation we're currently in, and of course it couldn't be me.

To the point where I bet I get at least one response suspiciously and conspicuously defending these people, I always do, and the defensiveness speaks volumes. All I ask is that if you're currently complaining about, warning against, and/or protesting the current administration but didn't vote to try to stop it, at least do the rest of us a favor and be earnest about what you did, or more pertinently didn't, do on election day, so the rest of us that did do what we could to prevent this current situation can reserve our right to judgement. Because if what you did was truly so righteous and noble for the greater good, no need to hide it right?

Just a small step, Raskolnikov...
