Wow there’s an ICE Barbie? I knew about Patriot Barbie and pretty sure she owns that one herself. Idk be offended at human nature I guess for the impulse to dehumanize women they don’t like… but they are also both awful so I don’t particularly feel bad for them when they are actively trying to ruin lives.

Although I don’t doubt they take it as a compliment either since for many of them a woman’s value is proportionate to their looks.

You shall not bear false witness to your neighbor

That’s literally all career Republicans do.

Weird I didn’t see the second half of your comment when I first replied. You’re absolutely right and I’m terrified. The social-political environment and economy that allowed the rise of the nazis in Germany have been happening in America for decades. There are so many parallels and then within 6 months in office a LOT of big stuff is happening really fast. Federal institutions completely gutted, harassment of the employees by their government, deportation of citizens, removing birthright citizenship, and now wanting a medical diagnosis for anyone who disagrees with them.

It is absolutely terrifying and I no longer feel safe sharing my opinion anywhere because I don’t know how dangerous it will be in the future.

It also silences their voices and discredits anything they say so opposition don’t gain more support as the GOP dismantle our democracy in front of our eyes.

Relationships will become more strained.

They are getting away with much bigger atrocities than this. People will absolutely be on board to suddenly have their trump-hating relative actually be mentally ill. Then you don’t have to listen to anything they say because they are just crazy.

Even announcing trump derangement syndrome in an official setting so it can be in the news cycle for as long as they want is going to have a powerful impact on the personal, individual level much wider than what he has done this term so far really. Now anyone who disagrees with trump is crazy. That’s just best case scenario.

Dude before trump was there a “face of x party”? That sounds like populist crap.

In this case the article is all about multiple people who faced suicidal ideation. Who they themselves attribute to all this doge bs. It isn’t just job loss, or the fear and stress of it, but the job itself as well. The article covers multiple industries and sources. It is a fantastic article so I urge you to read it

Read the damn article

Perhaps you’re thinking of John Birch Society? You have me curious now

Fascinating. I have never seen a fox and friends segment before, and listening to it I honestly couldn’t guess when this aired except it was after his passing in 2003. It’s interesting that so many of them were laughing when someone called him evil though. Gives off this feeling they don’t even believe it themselves but it was just their improv, Whose Line is it Anyway prompt.

Oh and the irony of a bunch of evil people calling the nation’s most wholesome public figure evil.

It appears you can learn something new today too https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_ciao

Thank you

Thank you! That is some spicy context

Oh I’m an uncultured swine. This meme has layers and I don’t understand any but that elon is in a negative light, would anyone be willing to enlighten me?

Eta: I did the cursory Google of the song and do understand it is a known anti-facscist rebellion anthem. So I suppose if there is more to it than that I’m fascinated to learn

We have forked off from the darkest timeline into its stupidest.

Dude… that war had a draft, that is in poor taste.

They blame it on women wanting careers and a life outside homemaking.

I’d argue it is the same price point as many fast food places.

Of course. But once upon a time the average American could still feel safe because so far the government of checks and balances more or less worked well enough that anything egregiously unconstitutional wouldn’t happen here. Alas here we are.

I mean, this is the first time I’ve ever truly worried about it being used in deja vu of the third Reich. Regardless of what your opinions were on government surveillance it was unlikely that the average person had any tangible consequences to fear. Now they do
