We may want to laugh at his immaturity, but remember, large parades and faux patriotic events showing the glory of the leader is exactly what happens in authoritarian countries.

Richest, most powerful country in the world, and children are depending on corporations having a conscience in order to be able to eat in their schools.

Hmm, “A production of Trump Pictures, Inc.” Seems about right.

You’re one of them, I can tell. You weaponized your votes and declared your loyalty to a cruel despotic authoritarian bigot, and you deserve the very worst of what happens to you, because that is the cruelty you seek to inflict on others. You are subhuman garbage. You should suffer, rot, and burn.

No salvation will come to America, and no salvation is deserved.

The GOP just wants to make sure it’s on the white side of the issue.

This exact thing was a Nazi tactic. Our full descent into fascism has been swift and cruel.

Those much-heralded “checks and balances” were based on the assumption that both branches of government would seek to advance the national interest and work in good faith. The founders didn’t foresee a treasonous authoritarian in control of any branch, let alone the 2.5 they have.

Since they’re convinced of it already, let’s make sure it’s true. There’s no shame in having institutions full of people who are capable of rational thought and respectful of other people’s rights and that aren’t Nazis.

Guys it’s totally unfair to judge the whole organization just based on the 13 or 14 people that have been members of it until it was discovered that they are Nazis.

As always, the cruelty is the point.

All red states should be boycotted for the damage they’re doing to the rule of law and the evils they inflict on innocent people. Make them suffer for what they’re doing. Republican America is a waste.

Is “centrists” the new code word slam Bammy Snifters fanboys use to describe anyone who doesn’t fall down at his feet, just like “establishment” was last time? Guess what, bro: I’m no centrist and neither are most Democratic voters - we’re just not in the same personality cult you are.

You’re in for a huge disappointment next year when he’s re-elected with a combination of rigged institutions and lockstep loyalty of the people who supported him last time and those who have perversely convinced themselves since then that he’s not so bad because the people he attacks and whose lives he destroys aren’t…

You can set your watch to Splinter hit pieces rotating between Biden, Beto, Harris, and anyone else who dares challenge Lord High Potentate Bimmy Snarfers. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.

They used to at least be ashamed of their racism and hate, but his ascendance has taught them all that they don’t need to be ashamed anymore.

Of course they’re fine with it. They continue to support him... they like it this way. Stop believing in this subhuman garbage when they are clearly telling you with their thoughts and actions who they are. Furthermore, you’re believing in electoral institutions that have already proven to fail time after time and…

Nazi Germany also collapsed after foreign armies destroyed it, occupied large parts of it, reconstructed it, and then saw a revolution of mass mobilization to overturn East Germany. None of those are factors that will happen here. The cavalry isn’t coming and our populace isn’t motivated enough to do the hard things…

Indeed. There is particularly no coming back from it since they’ve now been able to fully rig elections to permanently cement themselves in power regardless of how small of a minority actually supports them. It’s only going to get worse.

We need to start preparing ourselves psychologically for the eventuality that he will activate sympathizers to begin executing immigrants and dissenters and promise pardons to anyone who does his bidding.
