To my fellow Americans: What are we going to do about this???
Trump at CPAC:
Trump calls media outlets that don’t report on him favorably “a threat” and says “they shouldn’t be allowed to” say things he disagrees with.
Fascism in plain sight.

There is nothing we can do. Other than to lead honest, compationate, and empathetic lives. Leading by example and love for our fellow suffering human beings. A extensively large group, of which the narcissistic Felon if America us NOT a member.
That's exactly the question Kate Cohen posed today in the WAPO, albeit with a twist. Discussing how to find common ground with ppl who support a different political party or leader, she asks...
"So if, by religious hook or political crook, voters perceive harms that aren’t real, make moral judgments in response to those harms, and vote based on those judgments, then what do we do?
Those harms that aren't real? The stubborn belief that America is in the middle of the greatest crime wave ever, caused by rampant illegal immigration and crazed liberal looters. All untrue.
What if that other side believes in nutty conspiracy theories proved wrong time after time? Stuff like the 2020 election was stolen. [It was not] Undocumented immigrants are more likely to commit crime than citizens are. [Untrue or factually wrong] Democrats execute babies after they’re born. [It doesn't happen] Or a New York pizza parlor was a front for a lefty pedophilia ring connected to Hillary Clinton and other Dem leaders. [Once again, totally false]
What are we going to do?
How do we find common cause with ppl who live in those unreal places? How do we converse with, live with and stand with people who believe people who espouse the above conspiracies aren't loons, but rather "prophets" to quote one popular blogger and right wing internet radio host.
Great question Shaw... I'm sure the "conservative" folks here would lodge the same charge towards the left, but I doubt they would find as many similar whacked out ideas being supported by Dem and left leaning political leaders, presidents and entire news networks like NewsMax and Gateway Pundit.
But I am willing to be convinced if those folks bring receipts, links and some evidence of large scale lefty promoted and supported conspiracies.
He has always had a hate relationship with the press but trying to get his point across with EO's serves no one. His actions are getting really old especially the way musk is handling the shrinking of the labor force. The government is a bloated object that needs to go on a diet but hacking by numbers instead of individuals has a reverse effect. Give people an early buyout or incentives to resign and find a new path because just eliminating by numbers will cause good people to not be available. There is enough government waste and fraud to drastically reduce spending. They should start with congress spending and work their way down. DoE 238 billion dollar budget would be a good place to look. Eliminate lobbying or the buy a congress person program. I don't believe musk will be around long, conflicting ego's, then trump will have someone else to attack.
What if Obama or Biden said that about FoxNews (the place with no professional journalists- just sock puppets) ? IMO, between Tr and Mu his polls are starting to tumble. As the dazed and bewildered fade and find groveling hard on their arthritic joints, Even Melania has been avoiding him (in spite of his TrumpMan perfume $17.50 plus shipping.
Trumpism is a degenerative social/political disease. It flourishes on hate, racism, ignorance, and indoctrination. As with alcoholism and drug addiction, the afflicted will need to experience "rock bottom" in order to understand the self-destructive path they are on. Trump is taking the US down to its rock bottom.
Unless and until the right wing loonies supporting the Felon of the USA and Chainsaw Elon get a grip on actual truth and reality there is nothing to be done. It is impossible to find common ground with wilfully ignorant people who prefer delusions and conspiracies over truth and reality.
Need to pay attention to James Carville because he shows more rational thinking that most. He predicted the democrat demise with kamala correctly and the downfall of trump will surly come soon. When that happens chaos will follow and hate will surge from both sides.
Skud, Can't you see the hate and chaos incited by Trump since he came down the escalator, ramped up with election LIES that resulted in J6, and continuing up to the present? Or is is still "both sides" in your view?
No, hate will surge from the MAGAats and all those who pump lies and conspiracies over truth and evidence.
There is no both sides do it. That is merely a projection from one who has an extremely clouded vision that allows for supporting delusions and fact free reified beliefs.
Anon, et al... anyone who looks at Bongino and doesn't see a person totally unqualified professionally to be a Deputy Director of the FBI loses all respect and credibility IMHO.
There's no way any current MAGA fan or GOP Supporter would have signaled support and an affirmative vote for such a lame choice had the president been named Obama, Clinton or Biden. No way at all.
To see this as anything but a legacy affirmative action hire is to delude yourself into thinking you actually have a functioning brain.

Someone needs to do bad things to T, V, and E.
What are we to do? What can we do?
