I bet you if more of our corporate leaders demure to his craven demands that he’ll just go away and be reasonable.
Exactly, spineless fuckers can’t stand their ground at all in the situation where it is known that if you ignore him - he can’t do anything about it.
The US is officially the North Korea of the western hemisphere.
Um… forgot about UK?
The challenge is that workers in the States aren’t sufficiently organized to weather a general strike (much less coordinate to start one). So how do we get sufficient mutual aid in place so that workers have the support they need to strike?
Thought people were being hyperbolic about trump packing the supreme court. This guy has wasted no time completely destroying any shred of legitimacy the supreme court has ever had. I kind of see this as a positive. Now people see that trusting the supreme court with interpreting the constitution is extremely dumb. If one president can pack the court with fascists what’s the point in even having this system? Obviously our constitution was never meant to be beneath the supreme court. This is an extremely clear violation of the right to free speech and of a free press. Our 1st amendment, not even our 2nd one.
He’s gonna do to TV what he has done to manufacturing. What a guy.
Say goodbye to SNL.
What a dumbfuck; doesn’t realize everybody is against him.
Just watch how 51% of voters will vote for him again, because the opposing party’s candidate isn’t a saint actually and might have some flaws.
Hahaha, who am I kidding, there will be no next free election, nobody will need to vote anymore.Not everybody, apparently a lot of americans are ok with all this.
I mean, if they weren’t ok with it there’d be a visibly decent amount of push back about it all. Yet all they’ve done is post memes, and went out and had a walkabout with some signs a few months ago.There are massive protests they just don’t cover them on TV and YouTube.
The people saying that shit want us to just shoot everyone while they don’t have to face any of the potential consequences and are safe.
“First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.”

That’s because a lot of this hasn’t really started to affect them yet. Sure he has his merry band of loyal supporters but there’s also a lot of people who are just not really very politically aware and aren’t paying attention.
Think about your grandparents or if you’re old enough just your parents. They sit around watching fox news and seeing posts on Facebook and they assume that those are viable sources of trustworthy information. Which obviously they are not.
At some point in the next few years they will start to wonder why the shelves are always empty now, and why are the products they do have so expensive? Also why are so many businesses closing, I was told the economy was doing well.
Getting the media to lie for you only works for so long.

For Hitler, it worked until the Russians were literally on top of him and he was putting a bullet in his own head. And this was after years of his cities being bombed into rubble.

And fox/oan/whatever will convince them it’s because of the illegal trans immigrants and they’ll vote for whichever fascist shows up after Trump dies.
Imagine if he didn’t do these interviews on his plane. Might be a less uncohesive interview if he didn’t.
Wtf watches that shit anyways. Just use peer tube and it will help the Google dependency of the population. Only problem is, they are probably coming after Fediverse soon.
^ this is what being terminally online looks like.
Being a subculture of a subculture and thinking everyone else should just shift to your thing. While also belittling the thing that nearly everyone outside of your hyperfixation uses and takes for granted.
You are missing the point. Removal of free speech.
Is novelty television protected by the First Amendment?

I’ll switch to PeerTube when it has something to watch on it other than random news segments in French.

Now that’s what I call Facism
Hey Disney/ABC, capitulation hasn’t worked. What’s your next move?
Capitulate harder
Guess I’m going to have to torrent Disney’s new film, 50 shades of Mickey.
Fervently waiting their next film, Triumph of the Birth of the Will of a Nation (after they finish editing out all the woke parts)
No, no, capitulate up stupid!
If you go back, I guess they haven’t had a conservative on in years or something, somebody said.
So, he basically read some ragebait on Facebook
One thing that has been an eye-opener about all of this is how much cowardice there is in the U.S… It’s easy to talk a big game about free speech and freedom of the press, but when push comes to shove, most buckle.

Fucking do it. When the only news feed people have access to is state sponsored Fox News and AI generated MAGA memes on Facebook maybe we’ll get enough people waking up to make a difference.
No, the majority will blindly consume whatever’s the easiest to get access to.
My brother in christ. They are pulling people from the streets. They are re-writing what schools have to teach. They are removing references to an inconvenient history (slavery). They are calling for civil uprising. They are denominating opposing political groups as terrorists.
If people haven’t snapped out of it now, they definitely won’t when only state sponsored news is on the air.
Live in a right wing state…
They’ll still call it the “Liberal media” any time it says ANYTHING against their world view. Fox is “liberal media” around here.
I am not 100% sure about that. I could see some growing quite bored with their options and maybe waking up. I can see some falling into The Algorithm and getting way, way radicalized into more Nazi stuff.
But yeah, if Taco even takes away the soma, it might be that some people get well and truly pissed. At him. And the Republicans and the conservatives that are destroying this country.
Yeah, admittedly it is probably wishful thinking on my part.
And this is why you never give these people what they want.
Imagine the shitshow if the FCC pulled ABC’s broadcasting license for hurting the administrations feelings. They should have played hard ball.
The government can’t stop ABC from broadcasting… Especially if laws have no meaning…why would they care?
