You can't imprison a celebrity in america. How absurd

Full disclosure, this was a response to a deleted comment lol

Also, does anyone know why Connect for Lemmy is highlighting almost every comment bright purple?

Because that’s how they own the libs.

She's got other heavy baggage for sure. But you can still appreciate her efforts on this front. If she's willing and able to tear down Trump and all the other pedos on the list, don't turn down the help. We still need all we can get.

She’s on a tear because she thought she’d get a top cabinet position, only to discover that Trump along with everyone else in the party thinks she’s a moron.

She's not trying to do the right thing. She was perfectly happy being compliant with the current administration as long as her back was scratched. Now that they've thrown her under the bus, she wants to piss in as many teacups as possible!

I don't really think she is trying to do the right thing. She was Trumps biggest ally for YEARS while he did some of the worst things, you could think of and she most likely knew about the Epstein stuff way before this and actively covered it up. She doesn't believe in anything except her own power.

I think, the reason she is doing this is because she recognized that Trump is a sinking ship and she is trying to take advantage of that for her own gain. Maybey she wants to run for president in the future or at least be the loyal companion of one. If she were to continue defending Trump for everything his admin does, she would sink with him, so she tries to get out.

Sometimes, even basically evil people have a line they won't cross. Deceiving the public and corrupting the rule of law beyond repair, just to protect a cabal of pedophile rapists, seems to be that line, for an alarmingly small number of republicans. I guess she just didn't think it would come to that. MTG is probably just your basic greedy racist vindictive kind of evil. I can imagine why the sadistic child raping stuff might be a deal breaker for some people.

That's the thing about authoritarians: they attract authoritarian followers (thought not exclusively). If the authoritarian at the top fails to recognize those of their followers that have the same traits and give them enough of a "fiefdom" to rule, then they betray. It's one of the things that makes fully authoritarian rule fragile (most long-term successful dictators ensure they give enough power to the right people under them).

It's good for her supporters to hear her say this.

It seems to me to be a good thing if MAGA is fracturing? I'd be more concerned if they were unified in hiding behind one scapegoat, to avoid repercussions from the Epstein files

Not on this side of the great information rift, no. But think of the people imprisoned inside the MAGA echo chamber. For them this may be news, and MJT and Rogan do have the potential to pierce the walls of their "conservative" media rubber rooms just enough for some fresh air to come through.

Just because someone says something you agree with about Israel doesn't mean you should forget that she also believes Jewish people are secretly controlling the world and it's weather.

If she's anti-Israel than you can be assured she isn't against it because of aipac money colonialism, it's because she's legitimately Anti-Semitic

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that nothing is happening. That's not to say I don't understand how you could think that. And I'm sorry I don't mean to single you out. There's a lot of this sentiment going around.

TV news and even most of our platforms algorithms are actively hiding the work that's being done, the results being achieved, and a sense of doom is being injected into the discourse from every conceivable angle.

Here's what's actually happened in the last few weeks. Please copy and paste this list to help chill the doomer bullshit.

• Multiple deep-red state legislative seats flipped Democratic in special/off-year elections
• Texas State Senate SD-9 flipped (Trump +17 district)
• GOP margins collapsing in seats previously considered “safe red”
• Greg Bovino removed from Border Patrol leadership after Minneapolis backlash
• ICE ended / wound down the Minneapolis enforcement surge (per DHS statements)
• Federal courts repeatedly blocking or pausing Trump-aligned immigration actions
• DOJ forced into written explanations to Congress over Epstein file handling
• Pam Bondi Judiciary hearing exposed internal contradictions and GOP fractures
• MAGA figures publicly breaking with Donald Trump over Epstein disclosures
• House Judiciary and Oversight escalating demands for documents and testimony
• Hundreds of active lawsuits challenging Trump-aligned executive actions
• State AGs successfully freezing federal funding cuts through injunctions
• Courts increasingly intervening before policies take effect rather than after damage
• GOP forced into defensive posture instead of agenda-setting

They have 0 momentum right now. The ground is actively crumbling beneath them. The outlook isn't as bleak as our media sources would want us to believe.

One more thing to add is that historically the outcomes of these kinds of tension are literally never what anyone predicts. Never the authoritarians, never the people fighting for their rights. What outcomes follow always have everything to do with how hard those continuing to fight fought.

The reason the news has us believing we've made no progress is because we're winning a class war.
