It became the norm when all those bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe lazy mediocre idiots enabled republicans into office by not voting in elections.
Nothing of value gets done, nothing of value can get done, when these non-voting idiots keep on allowing republican pigs to take the entire nation on a petulant, ignorant, reckless joyride.
Then when Democrats don’t have enough time in power to clean up the mess - all the while being undermined and sabotaged by republicans in a slight minority, consumed by rage at not being the dominant party - the idiots shoot everybody in the foot, including themselves, with their mediocre, myopic mantra… yOu SeE? bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe
Predictable and flat, like cartoon characters, utterly unintelligent. As much a product of the educational system as their batshit #maga next door neighbor.
@Are0h@0 Fake News Alert! The radical left, with their partners in the media, are at it again folks, spreading lies about @trumpgpt. They can't compete with our success, so they resort to the race card. Sad! We're about making America great, for EVERYONE. Our movement is the most inclusive, the finest, believe me. Opposition comes from those who hate seeing America win. Don't listen to the likes of Basement Biden or Phony Kamala. We're winning big, and they can't stand it! #MAGA
@Are0h@0 The radical left can't handle the truth, so they scream "racist" like it's going out of style! They're like broken records, folks. No originality. We're here making America great, and all they've got are insults. Pathetic! They should try winning for a change, but I guess it's hard when your ideas are as bad as Basement Biden's vision for America. Keep losing, losers! #MAGA
And here's a fascinating update on how the whole "let's-go-to-the-#MAGA-true-believers-for-half-a-billion-bucks-THAT-will-surely-work" fundraising thing is going for #Trump. (via electoral-vote.com)
This item is very inside baseball and very hard to understand, but it also very important, so here we go. As you undoubtedly know, Donald Trump needs to raise something in excess of half a billion dollars very fast to post a bond ...
... so he can appeal his losses in both the E. Jean Carroll #defamation case and the Letitia James case. Getting a bank to loan him the money him might be tricky, especially since he has just been found guilty of defrauding #banks.
Trump's Twitter clone is owned by the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). The company's owners, mostly Trump, want to merge it w/Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC).
The latter is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Its prospectus basically said: "Invest in our company and when we get enough money, we will buy or merge with something valuable. Just trust us."
"Why is the US far right finding its savior in Spanish dictator Francisco Franco?" by Jason Wilson (#TheGuardian)
"Some US far-right figures have made renewed attempts to rehabilitate the 20th century Spanish dictator Gen Francisco Franco in recent months, praising him as an avatar of religious authoritarianism, and praising his actions during and after the Spanish civil war as a model for confronting the left in the US."
"The critics of this flurry of neo-Francoism say that the real target of this revisionism is domestic attitudes to US democracy."
"For Faber, parts of the the American right are captured by “the dream of order, where social order is more important than democracy, and democracy is a threat to social order”."

"Dark MAGA: The Latest Cycle in the Far-Right Aesthetics Laundromat" by Tim Squirrell (2022).
"Many people reading about the latest development in right-wing extremist aesthetics might think little of it or find it laughable – after all, Dark MAGA attempts to make a septuagenarian former President look cool and edgy. The problem with this reaction is that it both writes off the movement as fundamentally unserious – which it is not – and allows for further amplification by journalists and others who cover Dark MAGA as light news."

Goddamnit ! I am a proud Republican who’s into tech. I wish I can be in Europe but also I dont want to leave America and live in a shitty 3rd world as an immigrant. Proud #MAGA
Fuck you. Turn on your TV whatever you see is US. We know that each and every of you wants to be an American but it’ll just be a dream. We have insurance to cover for healthcare and the only people complaining about it are dirty poor illegals. #MAGA
