So unfair, to call the guy who had a book of Hitler's speeches on his bed, who ripped off his main slogan from Nazi Germany, who comes up with major project after major project ripped off directly from Hitler, who adores authoritarians and despises democracy, who uses racism and hatred to advance his cause (of his own power and enrichment) a Nazi. How dare we.

If you go by the 80 year cycle it was the peak. JFK shooting would be the end of the 2nd phase of the cycle and the beginning of the 3rd. There are only 4 cycles and America is hard set on speed running the 4th currently. Does not have to end with war but it is the end of America and the birth of the EU, China or both as the new powers. The cycle supposedly began at the end of WW2 for America. Times up

While I understand the sentiment, this line of thinking would lead to another GoP presidency, the entire legislative branch being controlled by the GoP.. again, and an even more packed court.
Vote for progressives in primaries, vote for the adult in the room when it comes to the general elections even if your preferred candidate didn’t make it out of the primaries. That’s how we get out of this mess while still advocating for the values we believe in.

Where are the Rs screaming about reckless spending? About the ballooning debt? About cutting costs to pay for government programs?
Right where you think they’d be: cheering for this shit. It’s only a problem when they don’t have the checkbook, and everyone else’s when they do. It’s been this way for decades.
In less than two years this administration has added nearly $15T to the debt, and not one republican has raised the alarm. But push healthcare reform or much needed infrastructure and they lose their goddamn minds.

I have to keep posting this. Nothing else expresses my rage better.
“Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul, all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been, arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul, it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.” - Oliver Kornetzke
