@WayneASchneider@ProjectLincoln@realDonaldTrump Trump's EO's in a nutshell: “Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people--they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress.”

This isn't a fun thing to talk about, but we have to recognize what we're dealing with.
Around the world, far-right extremists are planning the destruction of liberal democracy, mass killings, and a new fascistic world order.
It's here. It's everywhere.

Friends - I have been a fighter my whole life when needed. Today a neanderthal, a Trump support verbally attacked me and thought about physically attacking me because I asked him to wear a mask. 17 years of wrestling, judo & combat karate came in handy today when I walked away.
And for those who do not know me. I have had 39 surgeries. Most from 9/11. I am a kidney donor & COVID-19 survivor so I take this mask thing serious!
@TomiLahren The left embraces social democracy: well regulated capitalism with a safety net. Social democracies are the most libertarian societies on earth, per Cato/Fraser's Human Freedom Index. Republicans, meanwhile, have embraced white nationalism and fascism.
@TomiLahren When you say the left, I think you mean the overwhelming percentage of Americans and when you say socialism communism and Marxism you obviously don’t understand any of those..
@TomiLahren Fascists need to demonize an enemy to be most effective. They will use immigrants, people of color, Muslims, protesters and anyone that isn't a white Christian tRUmp supporter as their foil to generate the fear necessary for their ideology to work.
In Australia, with a spike to 13 COVID deaths a day, the government declares a disaster and imposes emergency restrictions in Melbourne. In the U.S., with a surge to 1,200 COVID deaths a day, the president goes golfing.
More false equivalency from the journalists who helped elect trump. As if picking a VP in August equates to Russian bounties, voter suppression, kids in cages, and poisoning the environment.
@karenlynchkaren@WhiteHouse@GOP Yes- where are the kids? It is terrifying + deeply sad. There is such a shit storm coming from Trump, it is hard to keep track.
