Hillary Clinton is single-handedly responsible for Trump? That really sounds like some backdoor rightwing propaganda to me. Could you elaborate on this?

I already did in a response to this post. Which also contains sources for these screenshots.

TLDR:

They intentionally propelled extremists into national spotlight as a strategy to make Clinton look better in comparison.

Excerpt of WikiLeaks Clinton Campaign email:

AND even after Trump and seeing the risks of how a strategy like this could backfire horrendously, they still chose to do it again.

They are trying literally trying to FORCE leftists and progressives right so they can get our votes.

The last article is from July 19 of this year, that's just a few days ago. They expect voters to be pushed to vote for Democrats instead of extremists or progressives come November.

You are Not pushing them left. They are pushing you right.

It's not a coincidence that you all think you need to "save the country" by voting for blue. It's intentional. A carefully manipulated threat. Just like progressives being "irresponsible votes" is a carefully constructed propaganda meant to undermine the legitimacy of anyone more progressive than Democrats are willing to be.

Voting for progressives would make this strategy crumble like a stack of cards. Don't fall for moderate propaganda that scares you into asking for better. You aren't an irresponsible voter or wasting a vote if you vote for progressives. Progressives have won nearly every poll when they've been pitted against extremists.

Everyone would rather have progress than alt-right extremism.

Moderate Democrats however have convinced most people that settling for the status quo is safer than putting those 2 groups against one another. Why? Because they're moderate so it's safer for them. Theyre afraid of progress, they wouldn't have a job anymore if they maintained their outdated beliefs in a progressive government. And telling everyone they're the "best" option and undermining the credibility of progressives and their ideals is how they do that.

You aren't "stupid" or whatever else liberals wanna call you for not buying into propaganda that keeps progress stagnant.

This Reddit story is frigging nuts, though.

“I understand that this heinous atrocity beyond the comprehension of anyone with a shred of basic human decency might be upsetting to some, but we are asking everyone to please maintain their composure,” said police chief Cerelyn Davis, explaining that while it was regrettable that officers were mercilessly slaughtering innocents in the streets with complete disregard for their humanity, it was no excuse for causing a big commotion. “This barbaric instance of malice and savagery need not inspire uproar. I pray that cooler heads prevail during this time of unending death and misery being inflicted upon the powerless masses.” Davis went on to insist that any sign of unrest would only give the forces of unconscionable evil an excuse to impose even more wanton suffering on those who have no choice but to endure it.

I feel like a lot of people in the fandom tend to forget this, so I'm just here to give a kind, thoughtful reminder :]

Ambrosius Goldenloin in the movie is an East Asian man (Korean-coded), his skin is tan, his eyes are monolid and his nose is big

He's voiced by Eugene Lee Yang - a Korean-American actor who also has Chinese and Japanese heritage. Eugene Lee Yang looks like this:

During the production, when Ambrosius was decided to be East Asian, artists looked up queer East Asian-American men, and based Ambrosius off of them. Ambrosius is literally drawn to look like Eugene Lee Yang

Please draw him as such, thank you

Imagine looking for your son and finding 215 bodies.

It wasn’t until 172 excruciating days after his disappearance that Bettersten learned the truth: Dexter had been killed less than an hour after he’d left home, struck by a Jackson police car as he crossed a nearby interstate highway. Police had known Dexter’s name, and hers, but failed to contact her, instead letting his body go unclaimed for months in the county morgue. Now it was early October, and Bettersten had finally been told where she could find her son. She pulled up to the gates of the Hinds County penal farm, her sister in the passenger seat. A sheriff’s deputy and two jumpsuited inmates in a pickup told her to follow them.

They bounced down the road and curved into the woods, crawling past clearings where rows of small signs jutted from the earth, each marked with a number.

“Girl, look at this,” Bettersten, 65, said to her sister. “Would you believe they would bury someone out here?” The caravan came to the end of the road, at another clearing with more markers. The deputy took one of Bettersten’s hands, her daughter the other, and they walked to the mounds of loosely packed dirt. They stopped at grave No. 672. “Really?” Bettersten said.

She bent over, hands on her knees. She cried out, her voice echoing off the surrounding trees. “I’m sorry, baby. I’m so sorry.”

Also I know Tumblr doesn't exist in a vacuum so I wanted to share this as well:

Dec.18.2023

Blame for these botched cases has fallen primarily on the Hinds County coroner’s office and the Jackson Police Department. Each agency points a finger at the other. Meanwhile, other families are left wondering if their missing loved ones were also given pauper’s burials in that desolate stretch of land, beyond a horse stable and scrapyard. In an effort to help families find answers, NBC News is publishing a list of pauper’s burials in Hinds County since 2016. The list was provided by the county coroner’s office in response to a public records request. The office said in an email that it did not have a list of those buried earlier: "Records before 2016 could not be located. "

December 13, 2023 - A major highway in Los Angeles, USA, was blocked for 2.5 hours during rush hour by Jewish activists and allies with the organisation If Not Now.

The protesters were demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and an end to US funding for Israel's war crimes against the Palestinian people. The protesters, wearing T-shirts saying "Not in our name", formed a human chain across the highway and erected a 7-foot tall menorah in the road. According to police 75 activists were arrested.

Weird how all these institutions of higher learning let pricks like Milo Yiannopoulos, Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson come in and speak in the interest of "promoting free speech" but bring in the cops when people want to say Israel shouldn't be doing a genocide
