“Next year, America goes to the polls. Donald Trump is running for president while under criminal indictment,” interviewer Beth Rigby said. “This, the man who back in 2016 consistently accused you of law-breaking and actively encouraged chats of ‘lock her up,’ directed at you. It’s pretty ironic, isn’t it, that he’s now a former president that could face a jail term. How does it make you feel?”

When people told me they hated Hillary Clinton or (far worse) that they were "not fans," I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: "I love Hillary Clinton. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen."
I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater's ridiculous allergy to her, or Clinton's fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories. I wish I had said, flatly, "I love her." As if I had been asked about my mother or daughter.
I want to reverse the usual schedule of things, then. We don't have to wait until she dies to act. Hillary Clinton's name belongs on ships, and airports, and tattoos. She deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called RODHAM. Yes, this cultural canonization is going to come after the chronic, constant, nonstop "On the other hand" sexist hedging around her legacy. But such is the courage of Hillary Clinton and her supporters; we reverse patriarchal orders. Maybe she is more than a president. Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself. The presidency is too small for her. She belongs to a much more elite class of Americans, the more-than-presidents. Neil Armstrong, Martin Luther King Jr., Alexander Fucking Hamilton.
I wonder what the phrase "I am set free by her" means to this freak. That sounds like a quote from a serial killer film. Scrawled across a wall in blood.
americans are the most propagandized people on earth
When people told me they hated Kim Jong Un or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Kim. I am in awe of him. I am set free by him. He will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen.”
I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater’s ridiculous allergy to him, or the Kims' fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories. I wish I had said, flatly, “I love him.” As if I had been asked about my mother or son.
I want to reverse the usual schedule of things, then. We don’t have to wait until he dies to act. Kim Jong Un's name belongs on ships, and airports, and tattoos. He deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called JUCHE. Yes, this cultural canonization is going to come after the chronic, constant, nonstop “On the other hand” imperialist hedging around his legacy. But such is the courage of Kim Jong Un and his supporters; we reverse capitalist orders. Maybe he is more than a president. Maybe he is an idea, a world-historical hero, light itself. The presidency is too small for him. He belongs to a much more elite class of Koreans, the more-than-presidents. King Taejo, Yi Do, Kim Jong fucking Sung.
i might start doing this just to see what happens
I love this too much
More than anything else, its the "Alexander Fucking Hamilton" that gets me every time
you know what would be even funnier
if she lost to biden - the only candidate with a proven track record of defeating fascism on the polls

its only fascism if it comes from the villages area of florida, otherwise its just powdered cheetoism

so what you're saying is that trump is a FIINO (fascist icon in name only)
There is a reason the "scratch a liberal" types want DeSantis to run.

Trump is a businessman he knows his base loves words and ignores actions. So he will say shit like “I’ll round up the homeless” or “the wall will be built by Mexico” knowing damn well it won’t happen and that his base won’t care.
DeSantis is an evil ass nerd who tries to put that stuff into motion. With the expected horrific consequences

its 2024, you're a rank and file dem organizer of some kind.
you keep getting calls from both hillary and obama. they seem contradictory, but also cryptic enough you're not sure wether to tell people to stay home or vote for the corpse previously known as president biden

(I can’t find the emote’s actual name, we might not even have it, so just imagine.)
That's a nice idea but the federal government will utterly crush them. The feds are incredibly well-armed and have all our communications tapped. Such an insurrection would be stopped as soon as it started, with all the governors arrested or drone striked.

Oh come on. These insurgents died like flies. The k/d ration was something like 50:1. Chuds don't have the stones for that. Not when the Xbox is calling. And how about the football pool? Or that fishing boat they've got to get out on the lake?
As if that wouldn’t cause even more tension? That would be a complete undoing of our state vs federal system, basically a constitutional crisis.
But before that, how much of the military do you really think is going to be loyal to Hillary Clinton? It would be a proper civil war, not a quickly crushed insurrection.
Biden has been purging the military like a muthafucka. The rightwing nutjobs are mostly out of a job by now. The rest are getting DEI instruction every day. Take heart, the military isn't what it once was.
Drawing the fascists out and making them strike is exactly the outcome that would be the best. They'd be crushed under the weight of sedition and treason laws and they'd fill the prisons for the next 40 years. Let's see them work for 25 cents an hour and eat disgusting food left over from Iraq 2003.
Bullshit, there would hardly be a military left.
They purged a lot of them with the covid vax requirement and the mandatory stand-downs for DEI training. Plus, they're having a recruitment crisis. Right-wingers are telling young men not to join. It's surreal, it sounds like what the 60s radicals were saying about the military.
