Totally normal to suggest a ban on pregnant foreigners, the forced sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry, and the dissolution of the United States, when the supreme court doesn’t rule in in your favor.

    Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

    White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

    They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

    These people are extremely comfortable saying horrific things out loud. This is the behavior of psychopaths.

    There is an odd thought in all of this, that most foreigners want their kids to be US citizens. Are they all deranged?

      Agreed 100%. Constantly feeding the trolls is why they run everything now. They feed on attention and must be starved.

        Slight correction. They’re not not feeding trolls, they’re platforming extremists to shift the Overton window further right. Most news media in the US is right leaning now.

      Yes! The only reason these freakshows ever get heard is because of reporters giving them a platform.

      Sadly, that is what the media owners want.

      I’ve been saying this for a while, but it’s still relevant. You need to view US politics under the lens of professional wrestling.

      Of course they print this, and of course you’re going to hate it. That’s the entire point. These absurd people saying hateful things are the heels, you’re supposed to hate them. It also makes you like the faces even though they’re lackluster. Posting articles like these online in some sense of (lazy) advocacy or “staying informed” simply reinforces the worldview they’re pushing. It’s all propaganda.

        It’s all propaganda.

        It’s why even though I do hate and blame the greedy narcissistic assholes that run the government, the ones I hate THE MOST are the propagandists.

        Without pieces of shit like Sean Hannity and to a slightly lesser extent every other corporate media outlet the greedy narcissistic assholes wouldn’t be able to thrive in the way that they do and we might actually be able to live in the same “reality” as the rest of the population instead of being fed different versions of reality to fight over.

        I’d love to see the propagandists put in front of a firing squad. Air that shit for ratings, corporate fucks.

      The media needs to call out the crazy people. Everyone has a platform online, which means that crazy people feel validated. Just because someone has a hundred thousand followers doesn’t make them an authority, and the media needs to be critical in what they promote

      But emotional responses make clicks. Angry and scared emotional responses make more clicks. And clicks are the only thing that matters to these people.

      This is how Rupert Murdoch built his empire in Australia and then brought it to America. 30 years later. Everyone is copying him. He ignored traditional news and wrote sensationalist headlines.

    Yea yea, insane sterilization comment. But y’all he wants to literally break up the United States.

    1. Dissolution of the Union

    Over the 14th amendment. You know, the one we passed as a direct outcome of a failed Civil War insurrection.

    It is time for us to shift the Overton window back with opposite and equally absurd proposals.
    It’s time for us to open foreign maternity centers so that we can grow the number of US citizens.

        Being passive and worrying about pushing away the people who were already running away from us of their own accord is what got us in this situation in the first place. This is a tug of war game and we’ve been letting them pull the rope away from us for decades, all for the sake of showing them how friendly we are as they laugh at our naivete. A con man isn’t conning you because you did something to upset them, they’re doing it because they’re a con man.

        They’re doing that anyway. To fight the Overton window, you have to go extreme. It doesn’t make sense, but Newton’s laws of motion apply here. An object opinion in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an equal and opposite force opinion.
