“This is a break-glass moment. A five-alarm fire. The Democrats must tell that story to Americans over and over, every day and in every way. They must make sure the public clearly sees the crisis at hand, understands what’s at stake, and perceives the Democrats as ferocious warriors for the common good. That is indeed a tall order. But one thing is for sure: You cannot win a war you are not fighting.”

We were told the resistance had to be different this time…
We can’t swing at every pitch, they said.
We have to choose our battles, they said.
We can’t overreact to everything Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing, they said.
Well fuck that and fuck them. We need to resist it all. We need to fight it all. And we need to start right fucking now.

“A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
“The USA is no longer considered a democracy and lies at the cusp of autocracy; it has experienced a Presidental Coup and an Adverse Regime Change event (8-point drop in its POLITY score).”

“That is the great civic danger posed by Donald Trump, that the habits of his heart become the habits of our hearts; that his code of conduct becomes ours. That we delight in mistreating others almost as much as he does. That vengeance becomes nearly as important to us as it is to him. That dehumanization becomes de rigueur.”

The MAGOP Loves Daddy
The “daddy” dynamic captures both the infantilization involved—looking for a strong father figure to protect them from scary changes in the world—and the way authoritarian movements depend on personal loyalty rather than institutional consistency. Daddy doesn’t need to deliver results; he just needs to make the right enemies suffer. And if he happens to embarrass America on the world stage, collaborate with adversaries, or betray fundamental values—well, that’s just daddy being daddy.
Shocked, but Not Surprised
HateGate
Leaked Telegram messages from national Young Republican operatives reveal the future leaders of the party to be racist, antisemitic, misogynistic, and homophobic. The anti-woke MAGOP campaign has led to an atmosphere where bigotry and casual cruelty are no longer taboo.

America or Trumpistan
Until the 2026 Midterm Elections
A First Amendment for Fascists
Free speech for the MAGOP is their absolute right, and theirs alone, to lie, threaten and gaslight with impunity.
