Everyone should watch that clip

That's a refreshingly candid condemnation of all the things Trump and the GOP have been doing. I hope this pisses off the apathetical assholes who didn't vote in the first place to actually give a shit and do so against them.

I've been saying that the teabaggers are the last gasp of the Angry White Man and Donvict was their last bid to try to reverse several decades worth of progress.

So far, it hasn't worked out. They are still here, fucking shit up.

The teabaggers renamed themselves "maga". They used to be the Birchers way back.

The Angry White Man was the term in the 90s for the exact same type of people we see in the "brosphere" these days; many of which were not even born in the 90s...unfortunately, these types manage to clone more of themselves in younger generations.

I hope this time it turns out to be true. We shall see.

And before that, they were the Nazis. The point is, every era, going back to the beginnings of civilization, has this same demographic segment of Sociopathic lunatics who want to take over the world, and force everyone else to do their bidding.

A healthy society recognizes the serious dangers that those people pose, and never allow those people to gain too much power. But now and then, a society let's down their guard, and those people rise up and take power. They've had different names over the years - Confederates, Nazis, MAGA, etc., but they're all the same people. We just made the mistake of letting them off the leash.

We've seen what these people have done in the past, how much blood they're willing to shed to keep power, so we can predict what they'll do in the future. The worst of MAGA is still ahead of us, and it is going to get much uglier before it gets better. For one thing, he has no intention of leaving after 2028.

Watch the video, worth it. I can't find a transcript.

I made one based on the subtitles from the video:

I have no doubt in my mind that the map's going to pass. If y'all can give us less than zero seats, you would do it. Y'all do this under the orders of somebody that said the Civil Rights Act was harmful to white people. That it caused reverse racism. RFK [Jr.] said that Black children are overfilled on antidepressants and that they need to be reparented on different farms. All of them. Pete Hegseth constantly brings Doug Wilson to the Pentagon to give a prayer service. Doug Wilson is the same pastor that said that slave owners were on strong spiritual ground. I don't have no belief in no morality on anybody that follow Donald Trump. If you wasn't with this map, you wouldn't be underneath this president, you wouldn't be in your party. You would stand up, you would stand against it, you would speak out about it. So, as far as I'm concerned, if you here as one of these Trump Republicans, you already showed us who you are. You showed us what you want to do. And I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why y'all have to redistrict. That's why y'all have to cheat. That's why Trump gotta go to Texas and say he entitled to five more seats. It's because y'all know what y'all doing is abhorrent. We letting our people die in Iran based on false pretense that Tulsi Gabbard and y'all can't say it ain't real. Y'all okay with all that, so I'm positive y'all gonna be okay with the maps. But the beautiful thing is, the children that y'all have made and the people that's younger than y'all don't support none of this racism that y'all want. The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy and I'll be happy to see Millenials and Gen Z bury y'all. There will be no more of your party. The midterms gonna come, y'all gonna get wiped out. Trump gonna get dragged out of the White House and I'mma love every second of it, because y'all loved every second of the suffering that he caused to everybody in this country and worldwide. We starving Cuba, we bombed Nigeria, we holding Zimbabwe and Zambia hostage for their minerals. We don't want to give them AIDS support. The pro-lifers that say all life is special, y'all letting kids die of AIDS. What part of your Bible say that? Point out the scripture. I think everybody would love to see it. And we would love to see y'all in the midterms.

Thanks for doing that. I'm going to put in paragraphs for memes if anyone wants to do that.

I have no doubt in my mind that the map’s going to pass. If y’all can give us less than zero seats, you would do it. Y’all do this under the orders of somebody that said the Civil Rights Act was harmful to white people. That it caused reverse racism.

What kinda goof thinks a local Louisiana man got no business taking care of local Louisiana business

[-] jtrek@startrek.website 16 points 17 hours ago

That's a good speech. I really hope the republican party and its ideals die out, but I don't think it's going to go peacefully.

[-] Furbag@pawb.social 2 points 13 hours ago

They've already shown what they are willing to do when they are defeated at the ballot box. All it takes is the slightest provocation and they march on the capitol to overthrow the government.

Winning in 2026/2028 is not going to be enough. The last gasp will be when the party is completely stamped out and outlawed, like the Nazi party was in Germany.

If only it were the last breath, I think it's far from over.

I've assigned many thousands of pyrofuturustic autonomatons to your command! Sorry, they are very sensitive to spelling. Please don't provide the wrong target for incineration, haha
