In the beginning of 2025 I compared the Trump regime to Nazi Germany in 1933. My family said I was exaggerating. Now I would go one step further, and not only compare the two, but say that Trump's regime is exactly* like Hitler's in '33. Or maybe it's already like '38.
* that's hyperbole. I mean "has identical features and many striking similarities".
If you call it out before it happens, they call you alarmist. If you point it out afterwards, they've already normalized it
I guarantee if you described this week's killing to conservatives even a few months ago, they would have said ICE would never do that, and they'd be against it if it happened. Now that it happened, they have accepted and normalized it
I'm afraid of this regime. I fear I will face repercussions for speaking out against the Trump regime. I'm going to do it anyway, louder than ever before. Fuck fascism
They’re not just normalizing it, they’re celebrating it.
Wouldn't surprise me if Orange Jesus gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to that murderous piece of shit.
They're not engaging with facts. That's a whole other plane that doesn't intersect. It's just feelings and in-group.
When you point it out early, you're disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected. When you point it out after... You're still disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected.
That's all there is to it.
They don't care about facts.
THey don't care about engagement.
They just care about their power, and pissing off those that criticize them.
Thats why they sit there and smile and spout blatantly obvious bullshit in response to facts and evidence.
Because watching you provide a solid argument that they can derail with the most heinous made up bullshit is amusing to them. Pissing you off is amusing to them.
The whole things a game to them.
Word. I feel for you. TBH I just don't know how I'd deal with it.
“It’s just as Respected Leader Noem decreed: the domestic terrorist had it coming. And honestly, you’re a traitor for trying to defend that scum!”
