    We need to ensure that we maintain the notion that an administration saying things like “suck it up” is never accepted as normal.

    The memes are funny, yes- but the more this becomes a joke, the more we begin to allow for it because that’s “just what they do.”

    That may be just what they do, but accepting it as commonplace doesn’t have to be just what we do.

    Use THIS to speak your voice and don’t accept this administration’s attempts to dumb down our politics to memes.

      They’re so tone-deaf and under-educated, they have no clue that the things they say are not only lacking in humor, but lacking in any connection to reality, humanity, and they don’t even understand the concept of empathy.

      That administration and their remaining followers have no value for life of any kind.

      We can’t forget that.

    Not that I am against the article but this is nearly 3 weeks old. Is it news at this point?

    Has he actually explained a plan to even “cut our taxes” because if I recall every tax proposal that’s come up raises the taxes on people living paycheck to paycheck.

    So what is the actual strategy at this point? They are being way too bold about this. Like I’m worried they have an escape pod that they’re planning to hop on while fly away while they flip us all off and leave us stranded on a smoldering earth.

      The goal is to cause civil unrest, to declare martial law and violently put down the unrest. To fragment the US into micro nations, tech cities governed by oligarchs, as well as Christofascist Gileads.

      It’s accelerationism, it’s been accelerationism, the weirdos on /pol/ and Mencius Moldbug have been pretty clear on that.

        Well I know that, but how does a statement which actually serves to in-group most of America against the administration actually achieve that?

        Dividing left and right and instigating a civil war fits with the plan. Splintering factions within the left, white collar vs blue collar, college educated vs non college educated, all of that seems to fit with the accelerationist plan. If you don’t keep your base and or military happy though, who fights on behalf of the elite?
