I know this is nothing new for Trump, but I read a Tweet from him today. And it really got me thinking how the POTUS, who's the most powerful man on the planet Tweeted calling California's Governor "Gavin Newscum" It's wild how petty he is, I get GOP & Dems don't really get along, but an 80 year old man calling another man Newscum is so pathetic.
This is his thing and he does it a lot of people, but reading this one made me dwell on how I don't know if there's anything he does that isn't an embarrassment. And hilariously, a MAGA replied to Gavin saying he needs to show proof that what Trump accused him of was an actual lie and not just say "he's lying" It was Trump saying Gavin burned down the Pacific Palisades so they can build low-income housing. Yet she needed no proof of Trump's accusation.
And call me a crazy leftist, but accusing someone of setting fire to an entire neighborhood and allowing it to burn to the ground seems like there have to be repercussions if it's not true. That fucker knows he can say anything he wants with zero worries.
Imagine if you will, hundreds if not thousands of elected Republicans over the course of 20+ years levying hilariously slanderous and libelous things at Hillary Clinton.
Newsom is just getting a little taste of it.
The Party of Hate doesn't care about truth, it cares about destroying its opposition by any means possible to gain power. It used to be mainly to cut taxes, but now it's for literally everything. They've had their skulls shit into for decades by hatemongers like Limbaugh and Gingrich about how liberals are going to take all their stuff and send them to re-education camps. They've lapped it all up, and now they're just left convincing a few remaining non-insane Republicans and a critical plurality of "regular" Americans that in order to save themselves from the liberal boogieman, they're going to have to start murdering liberals in their sleep.
And with the murder of one semi-known Republican propagandist, they've outted themselves as actively wanting a civil war. Out loud. In public. A few of them might have deleted their calls for murdering liberals, but most of them won't suffer any consequences of actively calling for civil war.
How is Brian Kilmeade doing after saying on television that we should just murder mentally ill homeless people? Is he still happily reporting "news"?
That is the US, right now. It's not going well here. A few more political assassinations on either side and Trump's personal militia won't just be targeting hispanic-esque people, he'll be sending them out for anyone who doesn't swear fealty to the regime publicly.
Fascists need chaos. Anything that fans the flames of chaos is useful. Obama let September 11th happen...useful. Newsom burned down LA...useful. Charlie Kirk is a national martyr...useful.
Facts don't matter when the truth is whatever the cult leader says it is.
