The US Army will force US citizens into concentration camps and not even blink.

Two thirds of those in the Military voted for Trump, ....they want to kill people, it gives them life. Think of that marine who murdered that man on the subway...

@chrisstoecker

Thank you for your well said post. Here’s an English machine translation:

“The real existing right-wing radical administration of Trump and its obviously and objectively catastrophic activities in many respects once again refute the popular thesis that right-wing radicals (and right-wing extremists) would "disenchant" themselves if they were only allowed to come to power.”

Part of me is worried that this won't destroy the USA, that things will just keep getting worse and worse and we'll all be damned by immaculate and unbroken record keeping of our bogus debts, a nation so ruined it should have been destroyed instead being enforced as the gold standard for the world, and all we can do about it is suffer and perish. The other part of me just wishes I could've had a significant other to have children with, so I wouldn't feel so rotten yearning for what I can't have. Who'd have children born into slavery? But on the other hand, you just can't stop wanting it and regretting even decades after it's too late, and without kids to support you in Reagan's USA, you'll be the first to die.

The American left has a Texas problem.

Really, it’s a problem of Red vs. Blue. I’m not talking about the problem with treating decisions about how we govern society as if it was a horse race, or between teams at a sporting event. What I’m thinking about today — in the spirit of deescalating every conflict that isn’t with our true enemies (thank you, Margaret Killjoy) — is the way misconceptions about who lives in Texas, and how we vote, encourage an attitude of disposability and dehumanization.

As a Texas journalist, one cornerstone of my work has been making people understand that what happens in this state is relevant to them, even if they live outside of it. Southern states like Texas have been a laboratory for so much of the Republican policy that’s now being implemented nationwide by the Trump regime. More so, the lives of people here matter a great deal to me, and they should matter to you too.

So why do I see liberals from other states who are willing, even eager, to abandon the people who live here?
