I've never seen anything in the US more complicit towards fascism and autocracy than the US media. They reported NOTHING negative about Trump for months? Why? Fairness? But Kamala got fucked every headline ''Job Numbers trending up, but are the numbers too soft because of Harris? " type of bullshit.

Why? Because right wingers own 98% of the mainstream media and push bullshit constantly while telling you and I that the left is controlling media and the government when they control neither in any substantial way.

Almost as if the rich and powerful have WAY too much control. Break out yer guillotines!

They want fascism. It's an element of class war.

Always has been. Have you ever checked out how the imperial media covers genocide?

The pathway to authoritarianism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting

I hope as fuck that everyone who said that eventually realize they were warned, and take some humility into the future

Maybe, maybe, break Cassandra's curse. At least for a little bit

2016 was worse for America than 9/11.

[–] [email protected] 166 points 3 days ago (12 children)

Yes. Trump's failure during Covid was killing a 9/11's worth of Americans weekly.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 days ago

give 'em some time. it's still early in the first quarter and he's still getting warmed up

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Trump was already responsible for one 9/11's worth of American deaths when he refused to send aid after Hurricane Maria. Then COVID happened.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Republicans preventing the US from joining the first world probably kills more than that every week.

As did Reagan and Bush I. And for that matter, a lot of their people cut their teeth under Nixon. Some cancers take a long time to grow.

Needs an update:

Now of course the "Rule of Law" is already destroyed and the plane should be headed for the 2nd one...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

I mean... I'm from the US myself and this is extremely true

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Uhhhh get this human generated slop out of here!

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Just need a 2nd plane labelled "republican traitor filth".

I don't know why you would write the same term 3 times.

I do think that Trump's first administration was fascist-lite. He had set precedence that future politicians will do. However, his second term has now gone full fascist and it is no longer "setting precedence", but making breakthrough and ripping apart the very heart of democracy and what it means to be human.

Kick a narcissist out of your home and tell them you don’t want them anymore, and if they manage to get back in, you won’t ever forget you crossed them.

He did not point the finger at any particular paper. At least not where I saw the cartoon.
