He’s a narcissist. Trust me, he cares. Yes, he will lie. He will lie to the world and to himself. Because he literally CANNOT cope. But that isn’t going to serve him. The more he lies to the world, the more deranged he will look, and the more he lies to himself, the more he will crash out mentally and self-destruct.

Ok I definitely thought they had more. Maybe I’m thinking of a different nutrient. I don’t remember. Point is they are nutritious and they used to be cheap.

Yes and no. It’s really hard to boast about your “mandate” when a large and still increasing portion of the population publicly hates your guts and thinks you’re doing a shit job. It’s not enough by itself to meaningfully hurt him, but it does make him look bad and undermine his leadership. It is bad for his image, and image is an important component of power.

It’s also bad for his ego and could potentially lead him to behave even more erratically in ways that are ultimately self-destructive. Narcissists famously don’t do well in the face of being perceived negatively. The worse his ratings get, the more humiliating it will be for him. It is important to hurt their morale at every opportunity, even if it’s not nearly enough to stop them on its own. Demoralized, defensive MAGA will always be a weaker foe than energized, popular MAGA.

Right? Now do his head.

Eggs have been a staple poverty food in the US. Frying up one egg can give you your whole day’s supply of protein plus a lot of nutrients, and it used to be that it could do that for about 20 cents. No more, though.

Not only can the right still not meme, it has apparently also lost all ability to recognize meme.

Apparently they keep getting tickets in China because they didn’t bother to adjust the settings to accommodate Chinese roads and traffic laws. Result is Tesla is getting utterly crushed by BYD in their one major market that doesn’t care about Elon’s antics.

Idk I think the “just following orders” defense is allowed for dogs. They actually don’t know any better.

Martial law AND a war at the same time would stretch the military pretty damn thin.

I mostly see it on here and Reddit, usually in the form of some non-American screaming, “oh my god just use 2A!”

Fascism is nothing more than the bully mentality writ large. He is a bully but a bully is no trivial thing. They’re the absolute scum of humanity.

Trust me, you don’t want our drama. You’re always welcome to annex me personally, though.

I don’t think it makes any resistance futile by any means. I just think the “just start blasting” attitude I keep seeing from people is naive, glib, and unconstructive. Guerilla resistance can absolutely be a powerful tool, but it requires a huge amount of coordination and solidarity that doesn’t really exist in our population right now and is not going to suddenly begin existing overnight.

The most important thing people can be doing right now is networking and organizing, identifying likeminded people and building community with them. This is the foundation of ANY effective resistance. And people ARE doing that.

My point is stop saying people aren’t doing it when they are. Everywhere. Every single day.

Do you think Trump is trying to declare attacks on Tesla dealerships domestic terrorism because people are staying home on the couch?

You’re acting like because we haven’t seen instantaneous results, we must just all be doing nothing. If you have spent as much time protesting as you claim, you know that protest movements need to be long and sustained and also often need to gain momentum over time. You won’t get a million people in the streets overnight.

I already have/am. Is fascism over yet?
