Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?

Can’t people post somewhere other than Twitter?

Is the location more important than the message?

Usually.

The whole structure of Twitter from the outset is built around promoting shallow, brief, and un-nuanced messages, and by clicking on a link to Twitter, we add our vote supporting its continuing existence (so I strive to avoid doing that).

Twitter needs to go the way of truth social.

I Criticized President Trump. He is Accusing Me of Treason

"This is about whether we will allow the President—any president, of any political party—to criminalize criticism."

The resistance is beginning.

 

[Politesse]

Somewhere this is going to come to a head, like the Fingerman that killed the little girl near the end of V for Vendetta.

Or Ludlow.

 

[ZiprHead]

This is going to come to bloodshed soon.

The lawsuit is going to be massive.

Notice that she mentions him getting a sentence without a verdict. This is like Cardassian justice in Star Trek, where a person who goes on trial is automatically guilty. It seems that the Trump government is the one smuggling aliens.

The lawsuit is going to be massive.

They illeagely deport him without Due Process, without proof or evidence. Then issue an arrest warrant to bring him back.

Trump is sending the National Guard to Southern California to put down the insurrection.

Trump is sending the National Guard to Southern California to put down the insurrection.

So MAGAtards are literally endorsing what they falsely accused Obama of doing a decade ago.

Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?​

I’d say that we are now at full blown overt attempted fascist authoritarianism.
I figure the $$$people know the Trump mystique has begun to tarnish ever so slightly, and even if Musk bribes the Vatican to make Trump a Saint after he dies (which will be soon in the scope of things even if he lives to 100), the very extreme totalitarian dictatorship dream of Trump’s will settle in just a few bits short of “full blown”, and the oligarchs will be thankful for the institutional blessing of relative, if not absolute, oligarchy.

Trump will become more and more of a liability to economic health; Leon will tell you how bad his pocket got picked! Now Trump’s Troofy soshil is (I understand) all about trashing Leon, and Leon is likewise Xitting on Trump. Even with the drugs, I’m betting Leon outlives The Felon. So Leon will win.

It would be hilarious if Leon sprang a billion or two or ten to purchase 2026 and 2028 for the Democrats, just to show Cheato who is really in charge.
Then the corrupt Dems could go back to trying to tax the rich and give to the poor like Robinfucking Hood. Musk could become a PR prom queen for saving American democracy by destroying Trumpy fascism and taking down all the other billionaires with monster taxes (while exempting himself).

And we all lived happily ever after.

Groundwork being laid down to invoke the Insurrection Act, the next step in their fascist playbook. Something they've talked about doing for some time.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is the U.S. federal law that empowers the president of the United States to nationally deploy the U.S. military and to federalize the National Guard units of the individual states in specific circumstances, such as the suppression of civil disorder, of insurrection, and of armed rebellion against the federal government of the U.S.[1] The Insurrection Act provides a statutory exception to the Posse Comitatus Act (1878) that limits the president's deploying the U.S. military to enforce either civil law or criminal law within the United States.[2][3]

The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence,
...
The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and
completely.


-Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary

So, Trump is going to report to prison to start his sentence for his felonies, then?

Or does Zero Tolerance not apply to the occupant of the Oval Office?

If I was Governor I would send my state national guard to oppose the ICE agents.

purchase 2026 and 2028 for the Democrats, just to show Cheato who is really in charge.

Muskrat can save his money. We Voters will show Cheato who is really in charge!

We Voters will show Cheato who is really in charge!

Some thought that would happen in 2024.
Who is REALLY in charge?
IMO, it’s whoever can persuade voters to elect their preferred candidates.
IOW, our oligarchs.
2024 proved the power of their money to get people to vote for oligarchs’ interests rather than their own.
