The tragedy is that he’s right – Democrats ignored the ‘threat of Trump’ in 2016 until he was almost in the white house, and they always assume “We’re for the policies most Americans want”, without actually checking if that’s true.
Fact is, Americans WANT billionaires to go tax free, Americans WANT to be the only advanced nation with no universal healthcare, Americans WANT to have workers sackable for no reason at all, and lose everything.
The nazi mindset did not disappear from Germany until after the war. Perhaps the trumper one will go away once tRump is in prison.
tRump is their central neuron. If we disconnect it by throwing this pos in prison, this stupid meta-organism may stop operating.
That’s half of the answer, but you need both halves. Unless you also break the programming machine, i.e. rightwing hate and disinformation media, they will just find another front man.
tRump is useful to the Mercers, the Kochs (well, the surviving one), the Putins. And he is replaceable.
From Steinbeck’s America & Americans, 1966:“Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: ‘After the revolution even we will have more, won’t we, dear?’ Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picknickers on her property.“I guess the trouble was that we didn’t have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew—at least they claimed to be Communists—couldn’t have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.”
eromlig sez: “ I guess Ruben figures his audience is comprised exclusively of those with terminal TDS.”
I thought Trump Derangement Syndrome was something that one has that makes one deranged enough to support Trump. I can’t see those guys finding this strip particularly insightful.
Listening to the audio of Traitor Trump’s interview by Jonathan Karl for the book “Betrayal”, it’s easy to see just how completely shot Traitor Trump’s short-term memory is. Of course, we knew ahead of time that Traitor Trump wouldn’t have minded the tiniest bit if the mob of traitors he incited to storm the Capitol HAD murdered Mike Pence—because Pence isn’t Trump. We knew ahead of time that ONLY imbeciles and lunatics think the 2020 election was “stolen.” We knew ahead of time that not ONE person who is intelligent, honest, decent, worthwhile, and patriotic voted for Trump. Not ONE who is all five things. Some people are just stupid even though they are honest—easy prey for both political and religious con artists. (Then again, there’s the old cliche’ that “you can’t cheat an honest man”…..) Obviously, many of the Trump voters were his fellow racists—but not all! Therefore, they aren’t decent, worthwhile, OR patriotic.
The only thing Ruben has wrong here is that the Republicans aren’t going to run the wannabe Fascist again. They’re picking from the long list of competent Fascists. You can see Hawley is already touting the populist BS again that worked for the Orange Fascist.
How I wish this was just a dumb joke with no real intent on happening. I keep hearing that more republicans than ever seem to think violence is the only way to regain control of this Country. By that they mean locking out minorities from voting and keeping White people in charge of the government. I repeatedly have said as a United country we’ve been a great super power but divided this nation will fall and you can say goodbye to our democracy
This makes me think about how every time someone from the Republican party says the Dems aren’t working with the Reps it really means the Dems won’t do exactly what the Reps want to do. I’ve seen over the last 13 years way more refusal to work together from the red side of the aisle than from the blue, especially from their leadership.
