Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I am fairly convinced that Trump did not speed up descent of Republicans into fascism, but will speed up democrats into fascist hellworld (i know it is already lol) under the justification of NEVER TRUMP AGAIN and by willing to do absolutely whatever it takes to make sure that happens. If dropping a nuke on a populated city magically made trump not president, libs would slap that button 400000000x with a smile and with the hubris to think they are "saving democracy" or whatever.
Trump has fucked up these people's brains more than he did the MAGA weirdos. Stg the dude is the most powerful wizard on the planet, and he doesn't even know it. Crowley would be in awe at the way this guy wields Magick without even understanding it remotely.
I mean, I don't think Trump really has anything to do with Dems having a hardliner border policy. Liberals have a conscience when their team is out of power and become KKK-aspiring when in power, feigning reluctance. They let "their team" dictate their political arguments and positions, setting up a Kabuki to give the illusion that the two capitalist parties don't share 98% of the same goals and follow the same material forces and don't use the same political tools to bail out capital (including creating and maintaining marginalized groups).
I don't think trump directly has much to do with the border policy either, I just think his presence and ability to send the utmost horror to civility libs is pushing the Democrat constituencies to accept alsmoy any policy if it is a slight towards him. I think this kind of idiotic political maneuvering and rightward capitulation would have some more (idk how much) pushback from people of the looming threat of trump didn't haunt these people so bad. Now everything is reasonable.
