Don't bother trying to refute the garbage coming from Trump's campaign. That's the mistake we made in 2016 and kept making until very recently.
That just makes it seem like it's worth refutation, plus it gives the original request more oxygen.
The Democrats’ current strategy of just outright mocking Trump and his sycophants is the right one.
Ah, is this the excuse were going to use to dilute the real issue?. That it's Iran. Not a gun-fetishizing mentally-ill right-wing Trump supporter radicalized by his eventual target?
We're really trying to ignore the leopard eating all those faces.
Yes. Because as we've seen, sunlight is not a good disinfectant for this kind of thing. Because "sunlight" results in these ideas can get visibility and by association, traction.
Naziism needs to be stomped on whenever, wherever and however it sleazes out from the sewer. Karl Popper made this very clear.
To be fair, that's a British style of writing. It's a loaded word in North American journalism, but neutral in the UK.
This isn’t going to stop until the rich are afraid.
In case you're wondering why fascism is on the rise, it's seen by the wealthy as a safe way to manage populist rage; get people angry about out- groups and they'll ignore the rich picking their pockets.
The wealthy don't think they're a line in Niemoller's poem.
This should tell you what absolute garbage most American administrations were for the working class.
FDR was the last president who was really afraid of Marxism at home, while Nixon was probably the last president even slightly afraid of the people.
Have they tried lowering prices? Crazy, I know...
In seriousness, this is the problem: capital won't take a haircut because line must go up, and labour is absolutely tapped out. There's no more easy debt to leverage, and thanks to inflation, and more thanks to rampant profiteering and an immigration policy designed to suppress wages and strip-mine new Canadians, no new wealth generated.
The game of musical chairs that is the real estate market was always going to stop, it was only a question of who was going to be left standing at the end. What will be interesting is, is this the first domino in the chain, as the dearth of condo-to-home buyers in the pipeline blows up everything else?
My hope is that this whipsaws through the economy and hurts so many people so badly that a) we learn to never let it happen again, and b) that it emboldens governments to finally tax the shit out of the rich.
Unsaid part of headline: "Most Canadians can't afford a new car, and many that can don't own a house and have nowhere to charge".
Electric cars, as they currently are, are a rich person's solution to climate change.
It's amazing how, even ten years ago, even one of the things Trump did would have killed another candidate's political career, if not toppled an entire government.
I thought that shit Bush II's people got a pass on was bad, but this is next-level banana Republic, Silvio Berlusconi "Hey, I thought she was 18" level stuff.
You know who threatens lawmakers the most? Who sends the most death and rape threats? Who it is that's out for blood if an official deviates from orthodoxy?
Trump supporters.
Ted should just come out and say it. He's afraid of his boss' rabid proto-fascist fan base.
Yes. That's the plan.
He says he was wrong, the centrist media says "Well, that's all fine and good then, he's certainly prime minister material and no mistake!".
Meanwhile, the fascist dogwhistle was already blown.
You could start taxing them. Especially the rich ones.
You know that's an option, right?
