          Racists are just tools of the super rich using them, religious, the ignorant disaffected, etc.

          After they consolidate power they will be relegated with the rest of the population. They are being used because they are ill-informed, but they are not the ones pulling the strings, not the ones calling and running the plays here. It is moneyed interests doing that

              As a Mangione inspired billboard in Portland said, I think with a picture of part of mangione’s face, don’t look left or right, look up.

            what? this is my first time hearing China is MAGA. that seems patently absurd to me.

            i’m just saying MAGA policies have a strong pattern of reinforcing the white supremacist systems of oppression

                  If I honestly thought that you could expand your horizons I would be very interested in describing to you how China shares the same desires for the United States as MAGA has for the United States. But I think you and I both know that you have a much more than casual love for China. You will just have to put the pieces together yourself.

      American MAGAs also don’t really want American greatness if it involves immigrants, minorities, or liberals having a good life there. Their love of America and goals for its greatness are VERY selective, all the way to founding values like freedom of speech, separation of powers, and separation of church and state.

      It’s really just fascism. And fascism, for all its claims to be country-first, is an international reactionary effort.
