Their holy grail is to be able to kill you because they don’t like the look of you, and be rewarded for it.
To be fair, we haven’t met their constituents.
I think you’ve misunderstood where the person you’re talking to is coming from.
I don’t think kompromat is necessary. These are power-hungry and attention-hungry people. They’ll say and do whatever panders to the people who will pay attention to them in the moment. J K Rowling didn’t need to be blackmailed to go from saying she supported transgender rights to becoming one of the Internet’s worst purveyors of trans-hate. Many other “influencers” have gone the same route, including a few who are trans themselves. (Matt Bernstein has some good videos about these people.) Overt transphobia is a thing you can do to score cheap points with ignorant people and get attention, approval and money. There’s enough motivation there for a certain kind of character, with no need for blackmail.
It manages at once to be a kakistocracy, an oligopoly, a plutocracy and a kleptocracy - which makes sense since the very worst people are the few ultra-rich guys who scrambled to the top by stealing from everyone else.
Here’s the list of words that will now get your scientific publication flagged for ideological review:
The List of Trump’s Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSF
This guy deserves only ridicule for his idiotically simplistic understanding of the world and how to improve it. Yet the fascist techbro billionaires are fawning over him. They’re a bunch of fools who never grew up.
This is a government of the absolute worst people.
I guess her crime was to try to employ more people who weren’t cishet white men. Unforgivable to the fascists in charge. And anyway, they just get off on cruelty because it distracts them from the emptiness inside.
Yep. He reformed his image after everyone called him Milhouse. Now he tries to be a swaggering big man. Still no actual policies to help people though. He’s more about the complaining and hurting people who are already hurting. See also: Republicans.
Look how well it’s working in the USA! I don’t understand Canadians who look at the swindling, oppressive, exploitative fascist shitshow over there and decide Canada should be more like that.
Trump is a fool who is being used by hostile powers to sabotage the USA and its allies. But he’s also a bitter, vindictive, petty little man who wants to sabotage his country anyway.
It was a joke. I have never really liked Nazis much, due to the Nazism and shit.
Yes, the worry with all this data collection was never just about the present, but about who might get their hands on it in future once it has been collected and stored, and what they might use it for.
That’s the goal with transgender healthcare too. The Republicans have two purposes: (1) get richer by swindling people, and (2) make people they irrationally hate suffer. The notions of making anything better or serving the people don’t even register on their radar.
So within two weeks of Trump coming to power, the climate for LGBTQ+ people at the DOJ has become so unsafe that they are having to hide their activities and wish they were back in the closet. I’m really starting to dislike Nazis.
It’s only Nazism if it comes from the Nazi region of Germany in the 1930s. Otherwise it’s just sparkling… no, actually, still Nazism.
Or how he put a science-denying antivax fool in charge of the Department of Health and defunded all scientific research just before the great bird flu pandemic of '25?
He should use more. Parts of his brain are still encouraging him to move around and do harmful things. He needs to be more comatose.
