A federal judge, one of our last barriers against actual, literal fascism and authoritarian takeover and our last hope for turning this around, signs an order for an objectively good thing in a predominantly christian region, with two verses referenced, an obviously defiant stand against literal evil forces trying to capture the country.

> Religion doesn’t belong in the courtroom and they should be disbarred

Fucking hell, someone tell me these jackals are AI bots or something sent by Mossad to destabilize our country. If I knew I lived next to someone who had this kind of attitude I would drop everything I’m doing to devote the rest of my days to sabotaging and annoying them in the most vexing ways possible.

This isn’t just a US issue you clowns, if you’re not in the US it’s coming for you next. We need to celebrate wins against bad things or you’re part of the bad things.

I feel like the people balking at the christian tone and quotes in this order haven’t actually paid a single moment of goddamn attention to anything for the last several centuries in the USA.

he should be punished for this

Why our country is doomed and its downfall will wreck the whole world along the way, summed up in one sentence.

Calm the fuck down when people are doing the right thing.

Jeez I swear we will lose every battle ever because leftists are always seeking places to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Edit: reminder people, there are very real agents against better outcomes who are paid to make these kinds of takes to make people like us, the ones opposing fascism, to argue and fight about stupid shit like this. It’s objectively stupid to argue that a judge who did a good thing and is fighting for liberty be disbarred for slipping two bible references in his signature, it’s nonsense.

So more likely than not, this user is one of the many, many trolls from troll farms across the world dedicated to making people fight each other, not the powers that want to shove ALL of you in a camp. Clap them back but then block and move on. There are too many impressionable people here who will read a whole thread of back and forth and despair that they don’t know who’s right.

Been saying it for a long time now, we gotta primary every last DNC member holding a seat. They’re all either complicit or neutered to the point of uselessness.

I love Bernie but this obviously isn’t his fight. He’s been about economics for like, 400 years, and just economics and it’s fine, but he’s not going to lead us out of fascism. He needs to go rest and enjoy retirement.

The DNC is a container full of rotten old money and establishment-preserving collaborators with the GOP. We pour the container out, freshen it up with some new contents.

I bet the fights, screaming matches, broken lamps, slammed doors and broken phones in the white house over the last week has been fucking glorious. I would pay thousands to be a fly on a wall there just to watch these unhinged freaks become unhinged freaks at each other when everything starts going off course.

They thought it would be different by now. They expected more legal victories (it’s not covered but they’ve lost a LOT of ground in courts) and they thought they would have a stronger public mandate, they thought liberal, middle-class America would be looking at them like saviors and heroes by now, they thought their WWE fireworks and spectacle would win over more than the same, steady 28% - 30% of the country.

But here we are, Trump is becoming unmanageable and may literally just DIE at any moment, they’ve made reverse progress getting JD Vance ready to take the reigns, and everyone is just staring at Miller, this egg-headed wormtongue that keeps feeding Trump schizoid lines because he’s basically just Elliot Rogers reincarnated. And now there are waves of rolling strikes going around, and the conservatives broadly are absolutely enraged about threats to their guns. Even the liberal nightly news is on network TV is outright saying Trump and his admin are making shit up. The tide is turning sharply.

There is some satisfaction in all this.

I am equally shocked and completely unsurprised this wooden amalgamation of a parody of a human actually used the “I was just following orders” line. Not a dumb guard or a patrol agent or a desk clerk, but an actual Secretary of Homeland Security. (for whatever prestige or value is held in a position that was invented in 2003 because white people suddenly got scared of Muslims.)

There’s a tidal-wave of sudden pro-establishment democrat accounts being made across Lemmy right now. Check the account ages when you see them, you’ll notice many are less than a month old.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence though.

Surely.

Every incumbent dem must go. The reckoning is 10 months away.

There is no effective difference between the parties, the reason the Dems are as weak as the GOP are grifters is because they all have the same donors.

We flush incumbent dems out this year, all of 'em. Then see what happens after we shake the Yahtzee dice.

She is another rat sensing the ship is doomed and is currently scurrying down the ropes with every other Republican and internet personality who helped make all this happen.

She retired because she saw the writing on the wall when the first wave of Epstein clues dropped, that if she doesn’t distance herself from the GOP before the next electoral cycle then she would be dragged down with them.

The GOP broadly has two paths ahead, they will either:

• Collapse entirely between midterms and 2028, particularly if Trump dies, which he may at any moment, and the remaining rats are going to all be playing hot-potato with the blame and accountability. At this point, every Republican you ask will say they were “against Trump from the start” and will blame the Democrats for not stopping him. Seriously. There will be massive division and we will see a new “tea-party” like sub-movement that will gain a little ground but will need around 8 years to gestate into an actual party or even power-bloc committee in senate and house.

• Completely yank the mask off and try to actually make a play for totalitarian control through the dessicated emperor on his golden throne and High Chancellor Miller splitting power with Vance as they deploy every kind of act and measure to stall, delay and eventually cancel electoral politics. The only way they can do this with a country as large as the USA is by embroiling us in a war we can’t pull out of, likely Iran or someone else who won’t upset the world financial institutions.

The second path is far less realistic, but the reality is it will likely be a banal mixture of the two leading to political stagnation for a few more years while various groups wait for some new charismatic figure to emerge who can do the pied-piper thing with the country’s stupidest rural orcs and blockheads with guns.

There are about a hundred post-titles like this across everyone’s feed right now, and not a thing will change.

It should be your glimpse into our atomized worldview that makes us think that “our side is winning, our day of retribution is coming any day now.”

Meanwhile the right is also seeing their own versions of every story, often written by the SAME media groups, to make them think their side is winning, and their day of retribution is coming any day now.

It’s going to start any minute, at least in terms of ads and stunts and attention-seeking social media things. But as we get closer to mid-year we’ll see a lot more chaos and carnival stunts, culminating in November when it will be full on “raw dogging a warp jump with no navigator” level of chaos and bullshit to wade through every day.

I don’t know who’s running, but I know how i’m voting. With a few exceptions, all incumbents must go. Every last rotten piece of ancient, withering meat who hasn’t made any attempt at reform or pushback is out on my ballot, and this should be our goddamn ANTHEM.

It’s time to dismantle the Democrat party.

it will give cover for gerrymandered red-states to reduce their efforts to make voting available and visible to their citizen.

I think you’re absolutely right, as it draws near we will get a steadily increasing narrative how elections are rigged, there’s massive corruption in voting systems (the paper is chinese!) and many other distracting nonsense claims.

But what they have overreached on over and over again is they are broadly very stupid people, and they can’t grasp the scale of this country and the people. I’m sure there will be election shenanigans but I doubt it will be enough to turn the tide. If they try to cancel any elections outright, while people are this tense and ready to riot, there will be widescale violence. Which the administration may want, but no town mayors or state governors want. The states still hold the cards here.

Republicans likely have funded putting him away and out of sight in some nice hotel while they figure out what to do about the situation.

They have no idea what to do about the situation. I just watched Kristi Noem basically set herself on fire on Jake Tapper. The emperor demanded she fall on her blade and she’s so weak and pathetic that she did it.

They aren’t nearly terrified enough. They shouldn’t be allowed to sleep, nor leave their car tires unattended, nor get delivery, nor trust what’s in their fast food orders.

the meme can be interpreted that way, and was originally used to portray some level of naivety on the part of the victim.

Okay but our messaging shouldn’t be “it’s useless to resist,” we need more people to resist in any capacity they can.
