This is what immediately came to my mind too. Holy shit. Too on the nose

To think this guy used to be a United States Senator. It’s a shame how far he has fallen

While you didn’t say anything wrong here, I think you are missing an important aspect that makes liberals particularly dislike Trump.

It is not merely Trump’s right-wing politics which upset liberals.

The thing that most upsets liberals is his open disdain for the institutions of the American state. Every American learns that the government was carefully crafted by genius founding fathers who tried to establish a perfect system of checks and balances to prevent tyranny. This is why there are so many override mechanisms like the electoral college, veto power, Supreme Court decisions, etc.

Trump is the first modern president I can think of who views these institutions negatively, that they reinforce the status quo and prevent necessary change (never mind what he thinks needs changing). So where possible, he ignores institutions or abuses them as a means for his own political or personal ends.

So Trump is not merely right-wing. His policies are indeed quite similar to many of his predecessors on either side. He is right-wing but in a way that undermines the very foundation of liberalism, which is liberal institutions.

Couple all of the above with the incorrect liberal identification of fascism with “authoritarianism” as such, and you end up with a population that literally believes that Adolf Hitler was elected. Now, that’s kinda true, but the reason is his politics (which are not functionally that different from Biden) and not the means by which he achieves his politics.

In the article about prison transfers to ICE

CDCR documents recently obtained under public records laws by the ACLU of Northern California show that in just two months last year California turned over 200 people to ICE after they’d served their time in prison.

I’m only getting started going through all your links, and this one already has me pissed off

Thank you so much

And also write the piece in that time 😂

Kinda suggests it was pre-written

The Republican Party, if its leaders had an ounce of integrity, would demand the same, but it won’t, because they don’t. That makes it all the more important that Democrats put the country’s interests first

Please tell me this is fake

I thought this was common knowledge. USPS scans every single piece of mail, and you can receive a daily digest email (Informed Delivery) that contains these scanned photos. Don’t be surprised that they share this data with law enforcement.

I dont know why tf so many of them feel so compelled to belittle others

Bullying often comes from insecurity. In the first place she believes (probably taught by parents) that unattractive people are unworthy and subhuman. Combine that with emotional abuse that undermines her self-esteem, and you get someone who desperately needs affirmation that they are part of the in-group and not one of the undesirables. Putting someone else down gives a momentary feeling of being above the undesirable group, therefore among the desirables, even though she knows deep-down that social acceptance can only come from others.

If they’re in a leftist org then they are already likely receptive to feedback. Criticize in private first before making PSAs. If no one wants to directly confront a random white dude, how are they going to confront the government or actually assert themselves on a larger social stage?

That started in 1865

Took me a minute to realize you weren’t having a rant against literal overpriced fancy coffins

That’s a hilarious bit

The proportions are so weird, especially this rear-quarter angle. Looks like someone wearing jorts.

On this note, sometimes dynamic/shortened links will not have the ‘?’ but resolve to a link that does when you visit the link. TikTok does this with shared links.

When sharing a link from social media share buttons, always paste the copied link into a browser to resolve the real URL, then trim out the tracking IDs as above.
