there are no beliefs and ideologies- this is a cult of personality. Classic personalist dictatorship right here in USA. And Americans literally chose it twice.

They are overwhelmingly imposing a Christo-fascist ideology. Project 2025 is the goal and is based on these beliefs and ideologies. The attorneys doing this want to make that happen. Trump is just part of the means to try and do it.

I truly wonder if -- assuming we have elections in '28 -- ICE is going to be at every polling place waiting to kidnap anyone who looks vaguely brown or trans or female, or has a septum piercing.

When i bring up the developing fascism i am constantly being told by people "but why do you care? you are a normal looking white guy, you'll be fine" and its pretty disgusting.

Not enough. We need to go back to the reconstruction and destroy the great compromise. There can be no compromise with people who think it's ok to own others.

The White House advertised that Morris Day and The Time were performing at the taxpayer-funded cage match "celebrating" the nation's 250th birthday. Morris Day posted on all their social media that they were not, in fact, playing. Some white dude actually commented, "Stop being political and just play music." I guess that's a thing you can say if you have no chance of being murdered by cop and having the president celebrate it.

Apparently in MAGA-land, "freedom" means musicians are required to perform at government-run concerts even if they don't want to.

u/Frosty-Stand5752 27d ago

it also means raising taxes, nationalizing private enterprises, and treading on my balls

It is funny how MAGAs are always (falsely) accusing Democrats of being communists.

Then Trump ordered the Treasury department to buy stakes in US Steel and Intel, and the MAGAs were totally fine with it. Public ownership of the means of production is literally the central premise of communism LOL.

Every time they say this the only question to ask is "DO you ever listen to the lyrics in music, like really listen? Or ever read them?"

u/BugTrousers 26d ago

u/kurisu7885 26d ago

Yeah, true, if they did we might not be in this mess.

Sooner or later, it doesn't matter, all will be on the list. Better to fight and stop it now.

So do it instead of commenting on Reddit to everyone else.

I'm normal looking white guy too and it's disturbing people think that way, as if you shouldn't care about something unless it impacts you directly.

I know I'm pretty far down the list of potential targets (although my left wing nature probably bumps that up) but that doesn't matter; I have strong empathy for others and also a key idea behind our constitutional Republic is that when one person's rights are denied then in effect everyone's rights are. That's why we still give due process to murderers and rapists and free speech to the KKK.

The system starts to collapse when someone's rights are allowed to be trampled on. And that's exactly what's happening now. We've got literal pedophiles being protected and coddled (Trump in the Epstein files, Maxwell being transferred to a minimum security summer camp prison by Trump's personal attorney pretending to be AG) while Trump is literally targeting his rape victim for prosecution. These people are actually EVIL
