[TheRabbitHole @TheRabbitH0LZ]

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.

You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.

Bro.

You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.

Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left's definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.

But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.

Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.

Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.

Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.

Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.

Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.

Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.

Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.

But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.

You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And they have you in the streets carrying their water.

The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.

No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.

Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.

But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.

Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.

That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.

Biden built a censorship machine.

Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."

They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...

Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.

And it doesn't stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families.

Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.

The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.

Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.

But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.

$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.

January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.

Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.

Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.

CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.

75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.

Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say.

Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.

One side talks. The other side screams.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched

Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism.

500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs.

The signs were ready before you were even angry.

AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power.

VOTE RED RED RED on November 3rd

[Isabel Brown @theisabelb]

Idk who needs to hear this but as usual, Call Her Daddy is giving TERRIBLE advice here.

What’s devastating about this mentality is that your *actual husband* can always be “better.” & so can you, btw.

Challenging one another and helping one another grow into the best version of themselves is the most beautiful part of marriage. There’s nothing more sanctifying or that causes you to confront your own inadequacies more than your spouse holding up the mirror and grabbing your hand to pull you up when you’re a lesser version of who you’re meant to be.

Merely replacing your spouse with a different person takes that experience away entirely, and leaves you in an infantilized relationship that will never meaningfully progress.

[Phil Kerpen @kerpen]

If you live in one of the gray states, your governor has blocked scholarships from the new Trump federal scholarship program from being given to kids in your state.

And I would recommend upgrading to a better governor.

[Liz Wheeler @Liz_Wheeler]

This is not true.

She voluntarily drank alcohol.

Voluntarily did drugs.

Consented to multiple threesomes.

When she said “no” to a foursome, the men stopped.

When she said she was tired and was going to sleep, the men stopped.

Afterward, she texted the first man that none of the sex stuff was illegal.

The supposed smoking gun— her saying “I was definitely raped” days afterward isn’t actually a smoking gun because it wasn’t rape because she consented. Even drunk and on drugs in New York does not negate your ability to legally consent.

So no, she was not gang raped according to the law.

She was just mad because word got out on campus and her reputation was ruined (her words).

Bu the way, it doesn’t seem like she even reported anything to campus police until after she had a falling out with one of the men.

This whole story is disgusting.

This young woman is deeply disturbed. Her sexual behavior is repulsive and gravely morally wrong.

The young men are sexual deviants. To engage in such sexual depravity is appalling and gravely morally wrong.

She felt shame and regret. Which is exactly what she should feel. She should be deeply ashamed of herself.

But to falsely accuse these young men of a hideous crime they didn’t commit is also disgusting and wrong.

This is what happens when you “normalize” sex outside marriage. When you reduce the morality of sex to mere “consent.” Utter depravity and sexual deviance reigns.

If you feel angry at the men for legally abusing this woman, you should.

If you feel angry at this woman for falsely accusing these men of rape when the evidence indicates it was NOT rape, you should.

It’s almost like sexual promiscuity is NOT liberating for anyone… But actually hurts everyone involved, physically and spiritually.

[Briana Theroux @brianatheroux]

If you only read the headlines, you would probably assume she said she was incapacitated the entire time while 7 men forced themselves on her.

That is not actually the account she initially gave.

She described willingly participating in some sexual activity, explicitly agreeing to certain things, refusing others, rejecting particular men, voluntarily using drugs, and becoming progressively more intoxicated as the night went on. She said yes to an initial threesome, “Hell No” to a foursome, rejected other advances, continued using ketamine voluntarily, and later participated in another threesome while significantly more intoxicated. When she eventually said she wanted to stop, they stopped.

And this is where I think people have to understand what the word rape actually means legally, because being extremely intoxicated is not automatically synonymous with being incapable of consenting.

There is a difference between being drunk (even very drunk) and being so incapacitated that you cannot understand what is happening, make decisions, or communicate unwillingness. That is a huge part of why prosecutors originally concluded that the account they had did not establish rape.

She was communicating. She was making decisions. She was refusing some things and agreeing to others. Her requests were all being listened to. And when she explicitly said to stop sexual activity, according to her own account, they stopped.

But based on the sequence she originally described, I understand why prosecutors initially concluded it did not meet the criminal definition of rape.

We also have to be careful not to retroactively redefine consensual sex as rape because someone regrets it later. If a person had the capacity to consent, said yes, and never withdrew that consent, *I wish I hadn’t* is not the same as *I never consented.* Consent can be withdrawn, and intoxication can eventually become incapacity, but regret alone is not rape. Treating it that way also cheapens the distinction for women who were actually forced, unconscious, threatened, or had their no ignored.

And this is where my opinion on the men becomes much less charitable.

Because ✨not rape✨ is an incredibly fucking low standard for deciding whether your sexual behavior was ethical.

I think sleeping with an extremely intoxicated woman is unethical even when she remains capable of consenting and is verbally saying yes.

There is an enormous difference between asking, Can this person consent? and asking, Should I be having sex with this person right now?

If a girl is drinking heavily, doing ketamine, becoming progressively more impaired and exhausted, and rejecting some men and some sexual acts, I genuinely cannot understand how several adult men look at that situation and think the appropriate response is to keep trying to fuck her.

At some point, maybe stop treating her like an available hole and make sure she gets home safely.

And yes, women have responsibility too.

I do not believe women magically lose agency the second alcohol or drugs enter their bloodstream. Getting extremely intoxicated around people you barely know is not smart. Taking ketamine is a decision. Agreeing to sex while intoxicated can still be a decision.

But men are responsible for their decisions too.

If you can clearly see that somebody is becoming extremely impaired, continuing to pursue sex because you can technically still obtain a verbal yes is fucking gross.

Consent is the minimum requirement. It is not proof that the encounter was ethical, intelligent, respectful or humane.

Something can fail to meet the criminal definition of rape and still be deeply exploitative. A woman can make terrible decisions and still not deserve to be treated like shit. Men can refrain from legally forcing someone and still behave atrociously.

And women having agency does not somehow absolve men of theirs.

That is the part of this conversation I think people are completely losing.

Leaving my Cornell 7 protest early to head over and yell at ICE agents for roughing up an illegal convicted of rape three times since 2015

[ConservativeOkie_Patriot47 @Okie_Patriot46]

I need to make a very PUBLIC announcement on behalf of younger GenXers and older Millennials.

If you see someone in their 40s or 50s who seems a little boring now, I need you to understand something...

We already got it in.

Like...GOT. IT. IN.

We are not sitting home on a Friday night because we never knew how to have fun.
We are sitting home on a Friday night because we have seen enough.

We went to parties in houses that should have been condemned and were almost certainly owned by the local drug dealer.

We saw police lights and RAN and not across a nice, flat field.
INTO THE WOODS.

Do you understand the athleticism required to hurdle uprooted tree roots in platform shoes while simultaneously trying to keep your low-rise jeans from sliding completely off your ass?

And somehow...we never spilled the Zima. We never spilled the Boone’s Farm.

That was TALENT.

We slept on floors in strange houses because the designated driver either never showed up or, in a shocking turn of events, was drunker than everybody else.

There was no Uber, Life360 or Find My Friends.
There was just somebody named Mike saying, “I know a shortcut.”

And we FOLLOWED MIKE.

We closed down bars and then decided the night was still young, so we drove to Atlantic City, where we somehow managed to get drunk, sober up, get drunk again, sober up again and then get drunk a THIRD TIME before breakfast.

And according to our parents? We were at Michelle’s house.

Eating pizza and watching movies.

Michelle’s mother unknowingly covered for approximately 17 people every weekend. If there even was a Michelle.

We drank things called Purple Passion, Mad Dog 20/20 and whatever somebody mixed inside a giant plastic garbage can. Nobody asked what was in it. You grabbed a red Solo cup and trusted the process.

We went to clubs until the lights came on. Do you know the psychological damage of seeing a nightclub with the LIGHTS ON? Nothing good happens after those lights come on.

We danced for four straight hours in shoes that permanently altered the structure of our feet.

We made entire plans without cell phones...no texts, dropped pins or group chats...just an extremely questionable sense of direction.

We rode in cars with 11 people when the vehicle legally seated five. Someone was always sitting on someone. Someone was always in the hatchback.
And there was always one friend yelling, “DUCK!” when we passed a cop.

So yes...now we like being home.
We like sweatpants.
We like cancelling plans.
We like saying, “That sounds fun!” with absolutely no intention of attending.
We like restaurants at 5:30 because we can get a good table.
We like being home by 8:17.

And if someone texts at 9:30 PM and says, “What are you doing?”
Sleeping...we are sleeping.

Because this is not boring my friends...this is retirement.

We already played, partied and danced on the bar.
We already ran from the cops through a wooded area dressed like a Spice Girl.

We have stories that cannot be posted because there are still people with careers, marriages and reputations to protect. And thank GOD there were no camera phones.

So kids, when you look at your Gen X and older Millennial parents sitting peacefully on the couch watching Dateline at 8 PM and think:
“God, you guys are boring.”

Sweetheart...oh sweetheart.
You are looking at retired legends.

Put some respect on our names. We're probably the reason Life360 was invented.

xoxoxo (posted from someone else on FakeBook) 🤣 #genx #oldandtired

[Mike Bales™ 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

When November comes and you’re comfortable on the couch telling yourself one vote won’t make a difference, think back to the Lindsay Clancy trial.

[Tandy @dantypo]

There will never be a more obvious sentence to look back on and explain the insanity of our times than the following…

“He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children."

[OutspokenSamantha @Outspoken_Sam]

The next Lindsay Clancy jury needs to be 12 Amish men.

They haven't heard anything about the trial and they'll have the verdict decided before the first witness even sits down and everyone will be home in time for dinner.

Boom.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Of course the great irony is that like 95 percent of the women blaming psych drugs for Lindsay Clancy murdering her children are also on psych drugs themselves. They supposedly believe that these drugs can cause you to annihilate your family and yet that hasn’t stopped them from taking the drugs. And they certainly aren’t calling for the drugs to be banned. In conclusion, they’re totally full of shit.

[Rita Panahi @RitaPanahi]

I'd imagine this is how the one sane juror felt listening to arguments for acquittal...

[Traditionally Sarah🇺🇸 @TraditionSarah]

So let me get this straight, hormones make women crazy. Crazy enough to kill three innocent babies and be exonerated of guilt, but prescribing hormones to children who think they’re the opposite gender has no psychological effects whatsoever?

Did I get that right?

[Lady Nimby, pregnant bigot @LadyNimby]

Speaking from experience, the oxytocin rush from listening to your husband make your kids belly laugh while you cook dinner is better than literally any drug can make you feel.

[Preethi Kasireddy @iam_preethi]

The best money I have ever spent as a parent is on high quality baby carriers. I have used my carriers thousands of times across three kids.

It gets me through daily chores, walks outdoors, airports, witching hour and pretty much everything. If I could only keep one baby product it would be the carrier without question.

My mom and aunts never used a carrier with me and my cousins, and that is wild to think about. How did they get anything done? I genuinely cannot imagine managing a baby without one. It is the one thing I recommend to every new parent before they buy anything else.

[Miles Commodore @miles_commodore]

You can’t make it up. NBA player Jaden Ivey went on instagram and basically called the LGBT community sinful and was released.

Miles Bridges beat his wife in front of his kids, and Josh Giddey had sex with a minor, and they are still starting on NBA teams.

Explain this to me.

[Matt_NJD 🇺🇸 @matt_NJD]

Hating the guys who just bled for their country to earn a gold medal because they laughed at an awkward joke the president of the country they just bled for made, after chugging 6 beers in 13 mins with dopamine flowing like water, is certainly a choice

Absolutely no one is saying “that’s out of line Mr. President” and ruining one of the coolest moments of their lives for everyone. I’m not a Trump guy but getting congratulatory call from the president, no matter who it is, after winning a gold medal at the Olympics, is a moment as American as apple pie.

These are 20-something year old kids high on life (and USA-crested Mich Ultras). No one’s making a political statement in that moment.

They laughed at an awkward joke, and if I had to guess, most of them were prob like “the fuck was that joke about?” afterwards.

Jack Hughes is an LGTBQ+ advocate. He said his first thought after scoring was Megan Keller’s OT goal. Half the boys watched the women beat Canada in the gold medal game.

But there’s a 0% chance any of them are ruining that insanely cool moment. Idc what your politics are.

And if you truly think they should’ve ruined that moment and made some sort of moral stand, imo youre just completely out to lunch and are missing the bigger picture of how big of a moment this was. Touch some grass, get off social media. Half these kids prob don’t even know the 3 branches of government.

Out of line joke the president made. Shitty joke but that’s on brand for him

But don’t turn this unbelievable moment into some social justice crusade. Just let the moment live.

[Physics Geek @physicsgeek]

The left: Haha stupid rightwingers rooting for Alyssa Liu and she's totally woke.

The right: She proudly represented her country, wore her flag after winning, and put her hand over heart while singing our national anthem. Her politics are irrelevant.

The left: Her politics are irrelevant? We don't understand.

The right: Yes, we know.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]
