And who is likely to nominate an antivax, anti-science lunatic with brain worms to head the dept of Health and Human Services?

And who is planning to eliminate the department of education and NOAA?

Previous administrations have done damage through incompetence and/or malice, but the plan this time is on another level. They’re going in with the goal of breaking everything.

I was hoping the Knowledge Fight guys would get it, but this is pretty great, too.

I hope Alex’s cat shits in his shoes.

Nice! This one pops so clearly.

Nah, they’ll just kill NASA outright and transition to SpaceX.

I expect Madge to get the Dept of Homeland Security.

He’s been talking regularly with Putin for months now.

No, what we sat through was the pre-show with puppets and clowns. Next up is the twisted, gore-filled main event. They’ve been beating the elephants and starving the lions. There will be carnage.

His biggest qualification is he has potential criminal cases he needs gone, just like trump does. Their interests are perfectly aligned. Gaetz will erase all traces of trump’s crimes and evidence without needing to be asked, right after he does the same for himself.

He’s clearly an accelerationist. Rebuilding the temple on the Mount is a requirement for Jesus to come back and kick off biblical Armageddon.

Trump has surrounded himself with insane people who are hell-bent on destroying the world so they can be raptured. Choosing people for these roles who openly say shit like this further proves that is their actual plan.

They want to destroy the world and jumpstart their revelations prophecy. They don’t give a shit what happens to the rest of us.

I’m on Voyager and can see it. They pushed a new update the day before yesterday, and a few things broke for me till I updated (inline images).

Updating your app might fix it.

I’m not in love with democrats, either, don’t get me wrong. I’m far to the left of them.

I wasn’t always disabled, and had a couple of good decades as a firmware and software developer and UXD, and I built my career from nothing in the late 90s, teaching myself and staying ahead of the curve. I was doing pretty well until about 15 years ago when autoimmune issues started attacking my nervous system, causing seizures and massive GI issues, to the point I literally can’t eat food anymore.

I HATE not being able to work, and would do literally anything to have my career back.

But despite how much disdain I have that the democrats aren’t what I wish they would be, fascism is objectively worse in every conceivable way. For me, it’s a matter of life and death.

I’d rather not have to vote against fascism, but that’s how far the Overton window has shifted, and there were only two choices. We chose wrong.

Please do, and thanks for being open-minded. I’m going to copy part of a comment I made from the other day so you know where I’m coming from:

I’m fully disabled, and most of my friends and family died within the last few years, so I have no support network.

I’m already struggling to survive, having to choose between food and medicine, and am overdrawn every month. All my savings are gone. I have literally no money to my name, and have been barely staving off homelessness for months. I rely completely on social services now, which trump has vowed to cut.

I will not survive this administration. My fellow Americans have voted for me to die.

I’ve spent a lot of time truly learning about how all of this works, because it affects me more than most people. I am not kidding that I’m pretty sure I won’t survive another trump administration. That’s based on objective fact. Things will be getting a lot worse for your parents soon, too, and I’m very sorry for that. We were on track to actually recover and improve our conditions, and that progress will now be reversed.

I really wish US voters weren’t so susceptible to misinformation and propaganda, but here we are.
