It has been obvious for many years that the Trump movement aims at the downfall of America, through the promotion and exaggeration of America’s flaws and the increasingly violent suppression of its virtues.

Billionaires have always turned on Trump, slightly more than underage girls.

If I recall correctly, Burke expected the French Revolution to eat itself and turn tyrannical … which, y’know, it did. He was right about that.

Reagan wasn’t good on HIV-AIDS.
George H. W. Bush wasn’t either.
But George W. Bush was.

PEPFAR was Baby Bush’s baby.

I don’t think the passage you quoted was intended to say that Reagan was good on HIV-AIDS, but rather that America ended up being good on HIV-AIDS.

The conspiracy theory was that child-molesters ran the government. To fix it, they elected child-molesters to run the government.

The Social Security Agency is abbreviated “SSA”, not “SS”.

While we’re at it, the Secret Service is abbreviated “USSS”; also not “SS”.

As long as the US military remains capable of projecting force abroad in defense of America’s traditional allies, the US military will be the enemy of the Trump administration.

Hurting LGBT people is fun for the Trumpies, but their overall goal is to wind down America as a world power; and specifically to hand the children of Europe over to Putin’s rape gangs.

To be clear, Putin won’t get far unless France falls to fascism first, because France has nukes and will remember how to use them for things other than offending Kiwis.

What do they have to worry about? Their guy won!

Sure, if “to brief” is analogous with “to pants”.

What’s Greek for “persona non grata”?

Doctors can tell you how to save children’s lives. But they can’t make you want to.

You’re currently a Trump supporter. If you don’t want to be one, you can stop.

Imagine if that person did all the same things they do, but without the label of “religion” being attached.

Charity? Awesome! Habitat for Humanity is an explicitly Christian organization and does great work. In my neighborhood, the local Lutheran and Quaker churches give out free food to the poor, and they don’t sneak any Lutheran or Quaker cooties into it. If you’re good to others because you think God wants you to be good to others, that still really does count as being good to others.

Prayer? Okay, take “religion” off of it and they’re meditating, thinking, or talking to themselves. That’s good. Unless they’re thinking and talking about torturing their neighbors eternally, or something creepy like that. (But even then, better to keep those fantasies to yourself than to act them out in public.) Die Gedanken sind frei — thoughts are free.

Going to worship services? Okay, they’ve got a weekly social event where they sing songs and listen to speeches. Sounds great, unless the songs are about “everyone outside this room is a terrible person and deserves to suffer forever” and the speeches are about hate politics. If they’re about how wonderful it is to be nice to each other, or being brave and standing up against oppression, or something else that would be positive even without the label of “religion” on it, great!

Dietary rules? It’s okay to have preferences, distinct cultures, cuisines, and so forth. For that matter: my family isn’t Jewish, but when I was little, we ate kosher beef hot dogs, because my mom expected the rabbis would care about the meat being sanitary. (Unfortunately in retrospect, kosher slaughter is, shall we say, not clearly better than secular slaughter.)

“Government shutdowns” are, among other things, wage theft from government employees.

In the Gingrich shutdowns of the 1990s, even active-duty military members’ pay was delayed without compensation for up to three weeks. Yes, that’s right: the Republicans literally stole paychecks from our soldiers and sailors just to stick it to Bill Clinton. (And maybe to give a little handout to their buddies in the payday loan business.)

More recent shutdowns have spared active-duty DoD, but still perpetrated wage theft against members of the Coast Guard and other defense-critical services. That was the case in the 2018-2019 shutdown, for example.

You can’t convince me you care about border security if you don’t fucking pay the Coast Guard.
