Democracy arose from man thinking that if that if they are equal in ANY respect, they are equal ABSOLUTELY.

the words “women” and “female” being on a list of flagged words to censor research projects that might violate trump’s anti-DEI policies is absolutely insane. we literally make up half of the population.

Some people just cannot think outside of the oppressed-oppressor binary: you’re either “the Man” the obvious villain or you’re “kept down by the Man” who is “sticking it to the Man,” the obvious hero. As a writer/illustrator put it, criticizing George Lucas’ work: “the OT films were the little guys fighting an oppressor… but in the PT, the Jedi had all the power. They were the oppressors. That “fight the power” spirit was gone.” The Jedi Knights are cool as long as they’re hunted by the Empire of the Sith, because they’re “sticking it to the Man.” But if they’re respected by people, if they’re working with the Senate of the Galactic Republic, they’re “the Man” and the Sith and Anakin Skywalker (or somebody else, this Underdog or Little Guy who is supposedly oppressed by guardians of peace and justice is never properly identified, in order to avoid the easily disprovable specifics) are the one who’re “kept down by the Man,” and by default, they’re the ones who’re “sticking it to the Man,” because in their heads, empowered and respected are the characteristics of Evil. And this reveals a deeply troubling mindset: “fight the power” and being victimized by “the power” is what makes you a moral, ethical, good person, even if that power is held by democratically elected officials with checks and balances or fairy tale monks who dedicate their lives to psychological and spiritual progress and to make sure that everyone is protected and there’s peace and justice in the world.
And herein lies the problem: people who only feel secure in their identity as "Good People" if they're fighting against an oppressive power cannot function without it and sooner or later, their desperate yearning for it will create it - and then, they will never be motivated enough to demolish it.

What have I been saying about the Democrats?
Well, there it is, folks: They're slavers.
Straight from their party line, accidentally slipped from Rep. Jasmine Crockett, they intend for illegal immigrants to be slave labor. Off the books, unpaid or underpaid, untracked and undocumented, taxable slave labor. They intend for these people to live off the books so they won't appear on unemployment numbers. They intend to let these people get all the benefits of a citizen with none of the protections. They especially want them dependent on the state with the ability to vote for the lies the Democrats push about being "for the little guy."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, a member of the far-left group of progressive lawmakers known as "the Squad," told congregants at a historically Black church that America needs robust immigration because "we done picking cotton." "So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country, or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. The fact is ain’t none of y’all trying to go and farm right now," Crockett said, garnering a sheepish laugh from a few members of the audience. "OK, so I'm lying?" Crockett shot back, noticing the awkward silence. "You're not! You're not! We done picking cotton! We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation."

Trump: "You have to get out and vote. You won't have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won't have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won't have to vote again."
LIVE WEST PALM BEACH, FL
Can you believe he's just openly saying he's planning on becoming a dictator, never having to vote again? And these Christians are just eating it up. They're happy. They're insane.
America isn't perfect, but by God, the search for that perfection is dead under Donald Trump and these White Christian Nationalists nightmare theocratic dictatorship.
This is sickening.
#Donald Trump#Turning Point#Dictator#this man is a psychopath#America#Freedom#democracy#constitution#republicans are the problem#this is not the country my dad emigrated to die a better life away from dictators and autocratic psychos.#I'm ashamed of America#I'm disappointed in everyone who's voted for Donald Trump the first time#and in despise EVERYONE who remains his loyal cultists#TRUMPERS MAKE ME SICK#maga cult#PLEASE GOD —I PRAY FOR KAMALA HARRIS TO WIN#i pray for Trump to cease biological functions

this is voter suppression plain and simple, innocent people and organizations are being harassed and targeted for the crime of supporting democracy and the Democrats. Of course Republicans will make outrageous and uncertified claims that voter fraud is widespread or that there's some grand conspiracy at play which isn't true. It's just a ploy and excuse to erode democracy as conservative policy doesn't have widespread support necessitating the subversion of popular willpower through the targeted harassment of those that do not support them. It's disturbing how they can use the police and legal system to their advantage, democracy doesn't matter as long as it fits the Republican's agenda. Never forget that Christian Nationalists and Neo-Nazis do not havy any respect for America nor it's democracy, they would gladly burn the constitution in order to preserve the 'white race' and 'Christian values' which is as clear as day. So vote blue even just to reduce harm and prevent Trump from winning and enacting Project 2025.

i used to think NY of all places in USA was an actually okay place, like y'know normal ass city, normal population demographics, probably normalest state in USA and that the socio-political landscape is still sane enough, but i'm beginning to realise there's something very very wrong with USA rn that even NY hasn't been able to escape
#just saw a post talking about how no other democratic country would accept what americans have been accepting since january and#what they've invited over by voting like they did in november and it's so so true#no country would accept any of this#there would be revolutions people would be out in the streets people everywhere else know what to do#but somehow americans don't usamericans do not know how to organise and it is a huge huge problem#a problem they're still in denial with but a problem that very very obviously glaringly exists#and very much affects the rest of the world#it's insane how being the oldest modern democracy in the world has made current americans have no awareness of how to revolt#it's actually insane how much americans will let their house burn while thinking at least i'm snug and warm#all while everybody is burning with them too

"It is not the ferocity of the beast of prey that requires a moral disguise but the herd animal with its profound mediocrity, timidity, and boredom with itself."
