In order to protect white male supremacy, Trump and MAGA must attack diversity, equity, and inclusivity. But all their rage and cruelty can't mask their greatest weaknesses: their fear & fragility.
EXCELLENT article, Wajahat — THANK YOU. And you nailed it: They hate liberals exponentially more than they love their country and that’s a primary factor in why we’re here. I often think wistfully and heart-wrenchingly about the competent, serious, normal governing that Kamala and her team would be doing right now and how they would like, you know, actually want to HELP people. I know there are many societies throughout history and all over the world who know exactly what this is like, but it’s so awful wondering every single day what horrible thing your “government” is going to do next, and what will next be taken away from you that makes life worthwhile, good, fun or secure. We’ve seen in these last two weeks that Trumpika is all about taking things away from people — even food from infants — and not giving them a damn thing. But Oh, the heady rush of power that courses through Trump’s veins as he causes as much fear, loss and despair as possible.
All cultures have categories to distinguish people into “us and them” by ethnicity, race, religion, or nationality … political persuasion & DEI qualifies too
Thank you!!! This should be on the front page of every major newspaper!!! This is the truth!!! Let’s just see how this all works out!!! 67 people are already dead, 1000s more maybe 10s of thousands and the country will become even more stupid than it already is!!! Heaven help all of us!!!
And no they do not want to go back to 1953 , they want to go back farther!!! How about the early 1900s say take away the 19th amendment or even further, the 14th amendment!!! Again thank you!!!!🙏
One of my retorts when I hear: women are better leaders or women make better this or that. You know, the BS you often hear from the fragile guys trying to butter you up to do all the actual work… “No, we’re not necessarily any better or worse. We just want the same opportunity to be a mediocre as you.” Or, “We can be just as unkind, evil or awful as you.”
I’m a mental health clinician making me qualified to diagnose this individual as hundreds of mental health providers have also diagnosed him as a malignant narcissist. He is also a misogynist and a racist, but that was not my point. He has a severe personality disorder, and that is a way to understand his behavior and complete lack of emotional empathy or concern for humans unless they are able increase his wealth, power and adore and admire him to feed his narcissism. After a person or group of people have served his purpose, he will dispose of them as quickly as he manipulated them only to use them for some self-serving purpose
We feel so exhausted because this is a man who is a sociopath and a narcissist, and we are experiencing collective narcissistic abuse, which is exhausting. People may have a better understanding of how narcissist desensitize people and then it becomes normal because they’re exhausted, emotionally and physically.
I totally agree re the fragility of the white males in this country. I think the democrats, Biden, and Harris failed to address the concerns of the nation and distinguish themselves from the government for and by the rich. Biden failed us all by not passing the torch and allowing a democratic primary and Harris failed us all by not distinguishing her policies from Bidens.
This shit show is not about Trump. He is the end result of major failures by the Dems and a planned take over by the Repubs. We were all screwed this election. We will all suffer.
It’s time to step aside and let the younger more progressive Dems take over. Step aside Schumer and Pelosi and the old guard. The new guard is ready.
I have to say that I don’t think Kamala Harris failed us in any way except by not resigning as Vice President immediately after losing the election and announcing to the world her new resistance/activist group she was forming to which would have been diverted all the donations, volunteering, support, momentum and professional creativity and expertise that had been flowing to her campaign. Such an action would have given us a leader. And after the inauguration speech, as leader of this group, she would have held a huge rally talking about all the things Trump DIDN’T say a single word about (healthcare, affordable housing, climate crisis, etc. which instead was articulated by Bernie Sanders on YouTube) There’s been so much blaming about why she lost the election but one reason has hardly been explored at all: Is it possible that there are millions of American women and men who simply will NOT elect a female president, even when the alternative is an abomination such as Trump? After all, we did manage to elect Barack Obama twice.
This is an excellent article and a cogent explanation of what we feared and what is now happening. Women have made many gains but we are still second class citizens. We got a little too uppity for the mediocre white males and now they will do anything to “put us in our place.”
I am convinced they will end up shooting themselves in the foot, or (with luck) the crotch. So far the suits against them have been winners. For sanity.
Please. Publish the links to the special election sites of two florida and one new york candidates for house. Flip the house sooner. We should be flooding them with money and expertise
The sky appears blue because when sunlight enters Earth's atmosphere, the tiny air molecules scatter the blue light more than other colors due to its shorter wavelength, a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering; this scattered blue light reaches our eyes from all directions, making the sky look blue.
There is another despicable white guy to add to the list. Andrew Kloster is a self-described "raging misogynist" and is the new head attorney for OPM. Please refer to the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) report about him.
Probably the only book Trump ever read cover to cover was from his favorite dictator Hitler “Mein Kampf”! He thinks he’s Hitler reincarnated, perhaps he is. He’s vicious enough.

Can all of these be happening at once? OK, don't answer.
Yes they can … the list is not linear
The website is informative
Thank you both for fighting the good fight!

Thanks for the laugh.
The only reason Trump came back is to stay out of prison and it worked
He’s a demented racist; a perverted tyrant in need of urgent removal from office

Agree
Yes, he’s a despicable subhuman

And the Dems are hard at work in Georgetown this weekend to pick new leaders. Let’s see what happens.

How fast can you become a shit hole country?
Roughly 2 weeks.. it appears.

One of the best things I’ve read in Substack in a while.

Brilliantly said. Thank you.
