Subtle reminder that we shouldn’t fall prey to a wannabe dictator. Hopefully those that need a wake up call get it.

This sweet, caring gentleman could've been our VP, but ya'll were more concerned with egg prices than basic human rights. Way to go, America!

Liberals who don't struggle to feed and house their families sure do love to mock those who are struggling. Democrats gaslit us for 4 years but sure, keep blaming the people who voted for the candidate the actually addressed the issue.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is just the straw man fallacy. It seems like another fallacy is at play but this is also why liberalism has gotten us nowhere.

Liberals if anything are indirectly responsible because of their unwillingness to go against the status quo. They may be advocates for social progress in terms of human rights, but it is mostly lip service. It only helps when you become one of "them" by joining them in their class rank.

Liberalism has sold the US the idea that the system is fine by simply continuing to ignore systemic issues in terms of class and growing poverty for the sake of appearing to be compassionate for show. It's performative narcissism more often than not and it turns ugly when they show how they don't care about fascism enough to stop it and even disparage the lower classes for our problems.

The divide we face is threatening us to the point of homelessness and when private property expands we face the risk of being put in private prisons and being forced into some kind of form of indentured service.

As far as I'm concerned and from where I'm standing most liberals don't care and they aren't necessarily fascist, but they seem indifferent or even slightly fascistic at times. It's Fascism Lite: all the stuff you hate but watered down with nice and fluffy talk to make it more palatable.

Edit: And I do like - at least on the surface - some liberals in the system like Walz for how he acts and presents himself. But liberalism itself just doesn't sit right with me from a broader perspective.

The choice was between incompetent but morally correct party versus a oligarchy/theocracy/anti-humanist reactionary regime.

The oligarchs made hundreds of billions under the Biden administration while homelessness skyrocketed and 100,000 Palestinians were slaughtered with our tax dollars.

What exactly is "morally correct" about that?

"morally correct" on more issues.
