IMHO, "activists" on the left or far-left are a big reason why we are where we are today.  They hold the Democratic Party hostage, then blame the party when we fail to win elections.  Nah, boo.  We can't win, because y'all chase away the centrists, moderates and Independents who'd otherwise help us if you didn't look so ridiculous.

Most of them want Democrats to lose. They hate them. They hate us. They hate America. They love Trump because he has done more to end the "American empire" than anyone outside of Putin, and because he gives them permission to be bigots - he makes it cool and fun. 

They continue to insist that Harris lost because she didn't do all they wanted, because they can't admit how little power they have in this country outside of an increasingly tiny social media following, and half of those are Nazis.

    That's another thing about so-called progressives: they keep moving the damn goalposts, so that nothing the Democrats do is ever enough.  Even if Kamala Harris had publicly denounced Joe Biden's stance on the Gaza crisis and called for an arms embargo against Israel, I guarantee many on the far-left still would've yabbut'ed her.

    Tr*mp wants to shut down aid to South Africa because it wants to return some white-owned lands to the public.

    (Not a coincidence that Tr*mp advisors are whites who have lived in South Africa: El*n M*sk, David Sacks, and Peter Thiel.)

    Trump wants the USA to accept white landholders as "refugees" from South Africa - because he says they are being discriminated against for being white.

    Elon is supposed to be airing 5 ads during the Super Bowl showing what wasteful spending he has found since being head of the DOGE.

    Trump is revoking security clearances of his political enemies and his approval ratings are at all time high. 

    The Republicans in their wildest dreams couldn't have thought that it would be this easy to accomplish what they want to do. More than half of the country is firmly in alignment with what they want to do and the other half is split in factions and are blaming the other for their predicament.

    This country is either apathetic to fascism or merrily approve of it. There was an article out today about Venezuelans who are being deported and genuinely believed Trump would never let them be in this situation. They still support him. 

    And of course "the left" is blaming Democrats for not passing DACA. One of these jackasses on Twitter finally admitted they don't even live in the US and never have. 

    The only purpose jaundiced JD Vance has is to be dumped onto social media and preview the next push of extremism. This time it is telling us courts don't matter.

    This is what America wants, and any of us who don't are just left in the dirt.

    Anyone who can afford to leave should do so as soon as they can.

    My parents raised me right.  Since the 1950s, they were social justice Christians who befriended people of all faiths, no faith, and from all over the planet.   I met many wonderful people when I was a child.

    That’s a great way to grow up, with kindness, inclusivity, and a sense of fairness!

    But not remotely surprising. He's a sick man who will end badly.
