If Stevie wants to completely own the woke left, he should commit suicide. It would totally destroy us.
Hey I don't think you should ever wish suicide on any living human being.
But he's not human so carry on.
Oh man, I'd be so incredibly wrecked. DON'T DO IT STEVE! WHO WILL I HATE WITH YOU GONE!!?
not nearly enough people are calling Stephen Miller a Jewish nazi, it's objectively what he is and also hilarious in a very dark way
Gonna be weird to say but I know three Jewish dudes who are pro-nazis. They haven't outright put a swastika on their foreheads but they constantly talk about how overblown the Holocaust is.
Just like there are Spanish dudes in ICE, black cops beating up black dudes and the ICE guy who killed Renee Good has a immigrant wife.
Not enough people are calling him a grown, bald reincarnation of Elliot Rogers, he's like a scarecrow built from the dead remains of the world's weirdest incels.
Listen to a clip of Rogers talking in his car or some shit and then a clip of Miller screaming about migrants. It's uncanny.
not nearly enough people are calling Stephen Miller a Jewish nazi,
Oh you mean what the victims of the ghettos and camps called collaborators, that would be Judenräte.
Especially applicable since it's clear he isn't being coerced into being a fascist.
If you want Stevie gone. All you have to do is tell Lumpty Trumpie that Stevie is the real president.
Trumpie will then meltdown and kick out Stevie.
And once he's kicked off of that military base and his protection dries up....
Who is this Trump you speak of? Never heard of them
Also known as "stinkie"
“How does a Republican lose by 14 points in a safe conservative Texas state Senate seat that President Trump carried by 17 points in 2024? Answer: When there’s a voter backlash against the Trump Administration, notably its mass deportation debacles,” the Journal wrote, describing the special election in Tarrant County.
It could also be the raping of children...
Doubt it seem like most maga are pro rape
What bends eventually snaps...
One of these days it'll be like GW Bush and everyone is going to claim they never supported him and didn't really understand why the rest of the party did.
And it's going to happen in an instant.
Without the cult part of maga i would agree but the republican fear the monster they created and is private army of cultist too much to do or say anything.
As for maga themselves he could rape their own child in front of them and they will smile and clap hand to encourage him
...
Some of us remember what it was like after 9/11...
If you think this is a cult that's never happened before, you just don't remember what it was like back then. They didn't just have Republicans, they had 99% of the country.
If we can bounce back from that, we can bounce back from this.
Like, not saying shit isn't terrible right now, it is.
But c'mon, be realistic. Even the racism and bigotry was worse after 9/11
It was the American response to 9/11 that ended my desire to ever travel there. The latest bout of fascism just confirms it.
Get well soon.
We didn't bounce back from that. Obama renewed or expanded on the worst of bush's policies for another 8 years. We ratcheted hard to the right. Trump is a symptom of the illness we caught in 2001.
The illness predates 2001. 9/11 was a result of Post WW2 foreign policy, remember! The US is an imperialist nation, fascism is imperialism turned inwards. This was inevitable all the way back to the nation's founding. The destiny was truly manifested.
I don't know if I fully agree. After 9/11, the conservative movement was attempting to change the consensus(Evil brown foreigners are coming to kill you and your family). The fact that a black man won the Presidency not once, but twice speaks to a failure to meaningfully change it.
A black man who authorized more drone strikes on black and brown people than any other. Obama did a lot of fascist shit. Liberals really struggle to accept that fact because of dumb tribalism.
The other commenter had it right, I'm afraid.
Just to add to your point, there's a documentary from around 04 or so called Jesus camp I believe where they honest to the gods prostrate themselves to a cardboard cutout of Bush. It's surreal and just made me want to kill the adults in it, if you want to watch a commentary on it The Bible Reloaded did a video on it years ago, also Jake and Hannah (went by Hugo at the time) are both still chill.
I was younger but also not from the US so i’ve might have missed some on what was happening inside the USA at that time but i don’t doubt it was a real shit show back then
It was bad and everywhere.
Like, right now America is like 20-35% Maga, after 9/11 it was literally 99% of Americans that were cool with anything Dick Cheney wanted. Absolutely zero accountability and a blank check against any citizen who wasn't fully behind the government.
Hell, I wore a "bad cop, no doughnut" shirt to highschool the year after 9/11, and got sent home for being unpatriotic. Even though no one could explain how that wasn't patriotic or why it would be an issue even if it was.
We were invading countries left and right and killing an insane amount of civilians in other countries.
The reason trump seems much worse right now, is because he doesn't have that level of support. That's why he's trying so hard to convince people we're under attack. He wants a 9/11 or 10/7 sort of event so he can get that 9/11 level of support. Then shit is gonna get real fucking bad.
I'm not from the US but I'm old enough to remember 9/11, and what's happening right now in your country seems waaaaay different from then. There was no ICE. People weren't kidnapped in broad daylight. Bush wasn't trying to subvert the electoral process. Minorities at large weren't explicitly targeted.
Yes, the imperialism was happening abroad (war of terror) rather than domestically.
I was active on the internet around 9/11 and you truly wouldn't believe the scale and toxicity of the hatred pouring out of the US at the time. It was an everyday occurrance where someone would wholeheartedly endorse using nuclear weapons against random Arab nations.
He don’t need the support he got fear and is own army in Ice ( and part of the US army )that wait just a word from him to start mass killing american he consider against him that why i thought it’s seem worst now but yet again i’m not in the US so i’m sure i don’t see or hear everything that’s happening ( trusted source are hard to find )
... except W didn't support him?
They mean it's hard to find anyone who will cop to voting for W. Everyone in the United States thinks the Iraq War was a bad idea, and nobody supported it at the time if you take their word for it.
thank you for clarification!
I still have a "bush/cheney 04: destroying your rights one amendment at a time" bumper sticker on my truck, unassailable cred here
He looks like a failed dr evil clone.
He looks (and acts) like a grown up Caillou
Fuck, that's grim.
And far too accurate both in looks and temperment.
Dr Weasel
Newspapers can’t warn Trump cause he can’t read.
Fuck Murdoch. He's a bigger force of evil in the world than any of them.
Evil emeritus is counseling his children on their plan.
he even does the dr evil lip how is this not satire
He always looks like he is handing over his lunch money. No wonder he is such a twat now.
Trunk backfires multiple times daily often with near-catastrophic olfactory incidents
He did tell us he wanted to turn the USA back into a big ol'factory
Methane’R’Him!!!
It’s not the Severus Snape we wanted, but it is the one we all…ah hell I can’t go through with it. This guy is Mephistopheles.
