That’s the goal with transgender healthcare too. The Republicans have two purposes: (1) get richer by swindling people, and (2) make people they irrationally hate suffer. The notions of making anything better or serving the people don’t even register on their radar.

It’s only Nazism if it comes from the Nazi region of Germany in the 1930s. Otherwise it’s just sparkling… no, actually, still Nazism.

Or how he put a science-denying antivax fool in charge of the Department of Health and defunded all scientific research just before the great bird flu pandemic of '25?

We knew that by 2016.

Every single news outlet is doing the same. Not daring to call it the Nazi salute it was, and firing those who do.

When we wonder how people did not resist the Nazis in 1930s Germany, this is how. Everyone afraid and trying not to anger them, and all the businesses silencing dissent to protect themselves.

Hmm, worth thinking about.

We all saw this coming from a mile off.

Now I’m a peaceful person, but I can’t deny there’s a slightly disappointing turn a few words into that headline.

It’s a good point about not taking the bait of debating with the far right about their nonsense, but I’m not convinced it quite counts as trolling when, being a proud Nazi, you get up in front of a bunch of Nazis and do Nazi salute to show them you are a Nazi. I guess the trolling is what he did afterwards.

It has been known to happen.

Yes, part of the authoritarian playbook is to train the populace to disengage from politics.

Here’s a poster for the party Elon Musk is supporting in Germany. Do we still give him the benefit of the doubt? I don’t see much doubt to be had.

…crickets…

Sorry, too busy genociding.

That was the first one, and then another one a few seconds later. Nothing accidental here.

You know, like that irritating Mr. Hitler.

Jebus.

10% of Russian nukes working fine would still be a catastrophe not worth risking.

This is definitely his getting-blown-by-an-ostrich face.

Which is why Trump will also be working hard to undermine NATO in any way he can.

He has rallied the Christofascists around him with four years to reorganize, has escaped all punishment for his first insurrection, has the support of Putin once again, has the world’s richest Nazi on side and funding him, and is emboldened.
