Just imagine if the current #bigot-#plutocrat regime of the #USA had the backbone of tiny #Georgia
maybe Georgia has the backbone it does because they understand the government of #Russia
so i guess the USA has to learn what Georgia knows already
the hard way
because the USA is ruled by morons
"Georgia Rejects Russian Proposal to Restore Diplomatic Ties"
I try to accentuate the positive. That's been hard lately
This is a reach, but bear with me:

These folks aren't necessarily #left leaning
But now they are on the outside, with us
Not just ex-#Pentagon, but from all over the #US #government
They have a grudge against the #bigot-#moron-#plutocrat #coup
Smart people who know things
Some of them may even be on #Mastodon
I say to them: "welcome"
Lets do something about it
@gooba42 @GhostOnTheHalfShell @Chancerubbage @callisto @limneticvillains
i don't even try
sometimes the "crime" of the artist is overblown empty #socialMedia outrage and i just roll my eyes and enjoy their work immensely
but if the crime is real, and serious enough, fuck them. i can't watch them or read them. i'm done
#jKRowling is clearly solidly well established in "i'm a #bigot and i'm proud of it" mode
i will never look at or read her works, ever again
@thetyee "“That person in a government job invalidated part of an Indigenous person’s experience, and they felt confident and emboldened enough to do that,” she said. “When people see backlash in the media, it can embolden some people to feel more comfortable saying these thoughts.”
That employee outed themselves to everyone as a #bigot.

There's a very famous quote from a French movie that says: "Les cons ça ose tout. C'est même à ça qu'on les reconnaît."
In English: "Morons, they do anything they feel like doing. Actually that's how you spot them."
Republicans certainly fit the definition.

Donald Trump is moving the country back to segregation with this move. Unacceptable!
@inthehands @StillIRise1963 @tarheel
study the history of #chile, #southkorea, #spain
look at #serbia, #georgia, #hungary today
corrupt, murderous regimes, opposed
they fought! they're fighting!
what you about you #usa?
i will not listen to arguments saying #american #democracy is doomed:
hopelessness
cynicism
it only helps #plutocrat-#bigot malice
you fight
you #vote
now and forever
that matters
"but it should be easy"
never is and never will be
show a fucking spine
the problem is not that a demented #plutocrat should be full of #hate and stupidity. that's almost a given
the tragedy, which we really need to get a handle on, is why his moronic #bigotry and #ignorance appeals to so many
"lol! #bigotry is new to you?"
no it's not new. but how it is goosed on #socialMedia for power so brazenly in cahoots with #plutocracy is a new and terrible wrinkle
yes, the #bigot-plutocrat #political axis is also not new
but it is supercharged now
One of the side effects of the #gishGallop of endless hate and outrageous stupidity is that it obscures the abuses of yesterday, yet they continue, while outrage and attention shifts
Example:
the sadistic attack on #womensRights
"Two #Houston-area clinic employees arrested for allegedly providing illegal #abortion s"
We must confront the totality of the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis in the #USA and not be endlessly distracted
https://www.texastribune.org/2025/03/17/texas-abortion-midwife-arrested/
"Arlington Cemetery strips content on black and female veterans from website"
If you're #black and/ or a #woman, your sacrifices will never matter to #MAGA and their only reaction is to try to erase your history and ignore your existence.
The #bigot-#plutocrat #political axis
all of this #deportation processing is also insanely expensive
and for what?
taking people out of communities who are working and paying taxes they may not even receive any benefits from but everyone else is?
so even from a strictly selfish point of view, deportation is mindnumbingly stupid
it's nothing but pandering to ignorants and indecents self-destructively, but it "works" on that measure, because a #bigot doesn't know, doesn't care
"#Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income #Tax on $2 Billion of #US Income in 2024"
https://itep.org/tesla-reported-zero-federal-income-tax-in-2024/
this right here
the root of all of our problems
how a cringe #edgelord icon of #bigotry like #Musk can wield so much power and how our #democracy dies to #plutocracy
well, not the root of all of our problems
the #bigots matter too
by goosing #ignorance and #indecency the #plutocrats can pull con jobs on hateful dimwits to wield power
the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis
our enemy
The #Plutocrat-#Bigot #socialMedia axis takes race swapping characters in #movies seriously
Because it's a pipeline to #farRight #politics, weaponized fake outrage
And they get to engage in #racism and #hate
"#AyoEdebiri ‘got insane death threats’ after Elon #Musk shared fake report about #PiratesoftheCaribbean casting
#TheBear #actor called Musk a #fascist and an idiot after his reaction to a post from a #rightWing account that claimed she was replacing Johnny Depp"
Really?! Anti-LGBTQ conversion “therapy” is torture besides being ineffective. Perhaps these people should experience anti-straight “therapy”. Then maybe they’d have a clue.
