The "authoritarian pivot" occurs when the populist strongman no longer requires a pretense of popular support to maintain control of state power.

@jangelooff Public servants really ought to face harsher criminal penalties than regular citizens. This stuff is poison to the idea of a social contract.

@HunterBiden @juneohara65 I really hope it does man

[🔰Chief Georgist Shill 🔰 @BlueRepublik]

Yeah the Trump administration needs to own this 100%

The "Cut Spending Cut Spending Cut Spending" crowd just targeted really good worthwhile programs, the deficit is higher than ever, and now we're seeing the effects of letting teenagers and Elon Musk LARP as libertarian budgeters

Never let these idiots touch power again

Republicans forcing us to eat bugs instead of beef because they can't think further than "government is bad"

@TECleveland @cremieuxrecueil I can see the DOGE tweet: "We canceled a contract for Panamanian screwworms, saving $165 million dollars!!!" [https://t.co/Bip6tKzkG1]

Meanwhile: "The slightest oversight could undo all the work that came before."

@natesheetsforTX @USDA Government is very serious business, ideally it's populated by boring experts tracking screw worms and diseases and climate change. People who call their opponents "communist" are not the type of serious person fit to deliver good governance.

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@Elex_Michaelson There is no possible election system under which trump era republicans could ever admit a legitimate electoral loss. It's part of their identity that they are the "real Americans," and obviously only real Americans should vote.

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@pissvortex @HunterBiden Did you participate in the US economy by buying anything at all? Then you also supported the rape and torture etc. Shame on you.

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@DodgersAndrew @Garrett_Archer Conservatives identify themselves as the "real Americans" and that is making them ideologically and psychologically unable to accept election losses.

I've been playing around with cellphone video as an input to algorithms that generate plotter drawings lately. Here are 200 sequential frames of me checking out a Japanese Maple in my backyard.

@RonDeSantis In a healthy democracy there would be zero tolerance for conspiracy mongering like this. Low-class trashy Florida man stuff for people who don't know how anything works. Gross

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@Garrett_Archer "There are widespread reports" = "thousands of automated social media accounts are saying it". Some of them simply do it because it's an easy way to get paid by Elon for engagement. Anything that can go viral, will go viral, because it's free money.

@AriDavidPaul @RepThomasMassie @kristovatlas @cspan @grok You convinced me that the USA should not fund the state of Iran

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@JoyceCarolOates Yes several entertainers who worked with trump have related this as well

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@nocontextmemes don't let the antipatriot cannibals privatize this to make themselves even wealthier

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@beetlemoses I've seen a lot of your work but somehow missed this one. I love the happy ending! You are a source of joy please keep it up

Gerontokakistalism

Rulership by the gerontocracy, via a government operated by incompetent loyalists, using state institutions as asset funnels.

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@Noahbolanowski The artists and train companies have an unofficial agreement, they are careful not to obscure any of the important labels on the train cars.

@LefterisJP I almost lost my ENS too, great idea

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@marceelias What is the steelman argument in favor of Polis doing this?

[neffnet.eth @neffnet]

@Tchandler7105 @GumbyPI @SeanTrende The difference is Obama didn't rape kids or tariff the entire economy or start a war of choice with a regional power or sue the country for a billion dollars or sell pardons to fraudsters etc
