    Ashli Babbit was a fucking terrorist and a rube. As was everyone else attacking the Capital that day. She was just stupid enough to get shot after a Secret Service member told her twice to stop.

    Donald Trump and everyone in his cabinet is a fucking fascist.

    Donald Trump lost the 2020 election but he’s too much of a baby to admit he did.

    Most of the US and the world saw what happened that day and it’s our job to remind everyone that it was a fucking coup attempt.

      Agree, but also I read a bit of her backstory (https://pluralistic.net/2025/07/22/all-day-suckers/) and it was full of things that happened due to regulatory / governmental policy failures and in a way was actually pretty tragic, just more in the “fell victim to multiple scams of various types” way rather than the “dedicated patriot who lost her life standing up for what is right” kind of way.

      Every current and former US soldier should be fucking ready to kill over Ashi Babbit. That bitch was a fucking traitor, and every single person there on j6 should have gotten the same punishment she got.

      And then Trump cheated his way back into office, posthumously made her an honorary US soldier, and gave 1 million in tax dollars to her family.

      What real soldiers have to kill, die, and get maimed for, she gets for trying to overturn an election result she didn’t like.

      As a Honduran watching all of this unfolding, seeing it directly affecting my country out of nowhere as if by some unimaginable cosmic joke, what the fuck else do we do? Rise against the empire and become a tale of failed ideologies for future generations?

      The US had a fucking DECADE to do something about all this, and they didn’t. That’s a willful decision, and not one that anyone on earth can do something about, due to certain mutual assurances that the US made sure to have in place long before most of us were even born.

      So uh yeah… I’ll just keep joking about it until you fucks bomb us all to death for national security or some shit.

            Yes, Biden had all the justification he needed for 4 entire years and he sat on his hands in the hopes that the justice department would do something. They didn’t and he didn’t do anything to make them. He the ball and holds an enormous share of the blame for this mess. Of course the fucking republicans aren’t going to help, to expect otherwise is asinine.

          That is an enormous if. I’m not saying don’t vote. But shit is going to get a heel of a lot worse before we get there. We can’t afford to wait that long and those Dems who currently hold power need to be already taking a lot more action than they currently are to organize resistance if there is to be any hope. Unfortunately they seem to be limiting themselves to making snarky comments on social media.

      Fortunately, at 80 years old and with his unhealthy lifestyle, there’s a fair chance that the Grim Reaper will find it in its heart to remove this vile shitstain from the face of the Earth.

      But Trump really isn’t the problem. The problem is all the other Nazis in power, the corrupt Supreme Court, and the puppetmasters behind them all - the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society.

      And of course, ultimately the blame rests squarely on a largely idiotic, gullible, racist voting public.

              I don’t really have an answer to this minidiscussion, but to me it was eye-opening to learn about the Tea Party (early 2000s) specifically, how it was sponsored by Very Rich People™, even astroturfed, how its stated goal was the infiltration of the Republican party, and how of course all their ideology and demented ranting were very much the same as what we see today.

              And once my eyes were opened I started seeing it everywhere, going back in time: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, the very questionable influencing by so-called christian churches, Big Oil deliberately making kids stupider, etc etc etc

              And of course that’s only the USA; I must admit I’m not so fluent in other countries, but surely we must see that assholes like Netanyahu or Orban predate Trump. There’s also the Phillippines which basically experienced a Trump in 2015 iirc.

              tl;dr: Trump is “only” the culmination of something that we have since dubbed “Trumpism”.

          Because it’s a mistake to think that Trump is the root cause of the issue, and if you’re putting your hopes into things changing for the better once he’s gone, you’ll be disappointed.

          But you have to properly acknowledge the scope of the problem to start working on it effectively. This is a systemic issue, not an individual one.

            Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.

    I’m kind of alright with this…

    Pelosi is a piece of shit and a huge problem not just for the country but the Dem party.

    Being the first people to go down to show everyone else how undeniably serious this shit is, is pretty much the only way old guard neolibs are gonna be useful.

    They won’t fight, and they block people who would from holding their positions. So there’s no benefit from them staying in office.

    Maybe Pelosi being run thru a kangaroo court will make the rest of them finally realize how serious this shit is. Even if they still won’t fight, they might resign and flee the country, again opening up their positions to people willing to fight.

      “The best way to get rid of the fascists is to let them do it! It will clean out the system!”

      Did I read that right?

      You understand this sounds a lot like “Drain the Swamp”? Has it worked?

      I’m also remided of this quote from 2016 or 17:
      “They voted for the elephant in the china shop. They did not realize that they were the china.”

        If they’re going to do it to someone, it might as well be one of the people who let this happen thru inaction and refuses to fight back.

        It would be much worse if he was going after people actually trying to fight back.

      Once you allow the kangaroo court to take out Pelosi it will be used against every one that doesn’t fall into line. As much as you may hate her, you can’t concede Democracy against people you don’t like. Once you do that you don’t get it back without much much pain.
