@KangintheNorth That's because we are approaching the point of no return...the "do not back up" parking garage spikes are what we are feeling under our national wheels right now...
Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.
And this isn't partisan...this is "the time for choosing".Do you support the Constitutional Republic? Or this ONE PERSON. This one, malformed, narcissistic, completely non-empathetic (except for himself) version of an American wanna-be Mussolini...because that's what this guy is.
And here's the rub: if you don't see it, it's either because you are so blinded by your own partisanship,brainwashing or sunk cognitive dissonance costs or it's because things what you wanted all along. #unamerican
You can say "well other presidents did this or that" but none have come close to doing ALL this. You take the most extreme things previous presidents have done (the single most) and Trump combines those most extreme single things into his long list of most extreme things.
Gaslight yourself till you're blue in the face...I'm a person who knows his history...we've never had anything like this and this is EXACTLY what the Founders worried about. It's been a multi-decade slide to get here-but we're HERE.Everyone who is honest with themselves knows it.
My model shows a 23% chance that yesterday's Trump interview will hurt his polling numbers. And I tell you the best place to get chaat in West Berkeley. All that and more in the next Silver Bulletin.
@John__Phipps It’s really that there aren’t any public water fountains and the restaurants do not serve free tap water. Another related criticism is the lack of public restrooms. Europe is very different from the US in this way.
@alwaysadblock@SaladBarFan@eigenrobot There are many parallels between the civil rights movement in the south and the struggle in Northern Ireland. Lots of people have studied them this way.
@BenjaminOCall@twinkdefcon End of the day it’s a survey, it just means people have an unrealistic idea of what soft power is. A problem in its own, but soft power still has significant influence.
@freememesociety @HolmanTravel I completely understand legacy and heritage. However, immigrants coming here and wanting to be American is extremely flattering as a proud American. That’s what my ancestors did. If someone wants to be an American, I want them to be.
@WhatIBecame@thatsingaguy@acnewsitics I do. You misunderstand me, I’m not some big Nikki Haley fan, certainly not a Republican. I just think the criticism of her is a hell of a lot deeper than the name she goes by.
