I always see this dude in Burbank rolling around in his power chair with a Trump and American flag sticking off the back. My first thought when I saw this post

The nazis called them “useless eaters,” as I recall.
"Lebensunwertes Leben" life that doesn't deserve to live. Only a matter of time until Donnie borrows that one.
He’s already said “Disabled people should just die”, os not far off
I wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It's not left-right politics, it's the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.
It's America vs MAGA. Many versus few, while the few try to remove humans from the many.
Maybe corpo media will finally realize that they won't have any readers/viewers/listeners when there's no jobs and nobody left to consume their media.
Unlikely though. Status quo is so comfortable until it's too late.
How is left against accessibility? You say "traditionally", as well.
I'm Canadian and these terms are not jiving with me.
Their owners want you to focus on the culture war so you won't notice the class war.
They're coming for everyone, and appear to be doing it in stages. Immigrants and foreigners first. Those with disabilities next. They're setting the ground work for judges and journalists already. After that it'll probably be gay people, or possibly black people. Democrats they'll likely save for last, as there are too many straight, white, male Dems to go after right now. They're going for the "there's no one left to speak out for me" method.
Oh gosh, you think? Damn, I wish we had a historical blueprint somewhere that could show us how a modern autocratic regime would go about eliminating their "unwanteds".
Oh hey turns out we have one, but no one ever considered it could happen in the US because Americans are super special snowflakes who can't do wrong. And according to that one, Democrats will actually be the first ones in camps. In fact it doesn't matter if you're not white or gay or whatever. As long as you support the regime, you will be safe under Trump, but not necessarily his successor.
Step 1 is ALWAYS coming after regime-critics first. Ethnonationalist concerns are second.
And according to that one, Democrats will actually be the first ones in camps.
No, according to that blueprint leftists and progressives will be the first ones in camps. Democrats are controlled opposition and are, in fact, beneficial to the regime. I mean why the heck would they go after a Schumer when they have Bernies to worry about?
Well true, the "far left" will be first, then the "moderate left", then "people in our own midst who fail the purity test". I've used the term Democrat as an umbrella.
That's the funny thing: you won't even be safe if you support the regime. Fascism is a constant battle for power on every level and things can turn sour for anyone if they just happen to be on the wrong side even once.
This is exactly why I cannot fathom how some people are choosing to be apathetic about what’s happening to their neighbors. You see that in your neighborhood and you think you have anything to offer that will satisfy the hunger of capitalists turned fascists? Our lives are nothing more to them than another resource to exploit and bleed dry.
That was a great watch. Scary how similar the situation in America is now as it was then in Germany. Because there is no one who can save the US, as there are no Allies this time around.
Don't worry, I was assured by many Very Serious Leftists on here that nothing would change under a Trump presidency and that I was just fearmongering.
Maybe that's just me but I never saw anyone here say anything about that. I'm pretty sure most Very Serious Leftists will tell you that while nothing would change in Palestine, a lot would change in America.
Where Palestine goes, we all go.
Until everyone who really believes in freedom and liberty understands that, good luck out there.

Any group that is different from the Nazi norm will be persecuted by Republican scum.
Here's the especially fun part: the people deciding 'norm' will always find a way to slice the in group into ever smaller wedges.
The Right Wing is a death cult. It eats everything until they're forced to eat themselves because without an out group to persecute they don't have any real purpose. So, they just keep making more out group until they're forced to shoot themselves too.
In Nemesis (comic books) there was a moment when the racist fanatics ran out of groups to persecute, so they just came up with a new target: people with freckles.

First they came for x and I didn't speak up.
Then they came for y and I didn't speak up.
I may be misquoting here but the sentiment and line of thinking is the same.
First they came for the Palestinians....

people with accessibility needs can't read this
bruh
First they came for the disabled people, and I said nothing because I was not disabled yet.
Then they came for the immigrants and I said nothing because my ancestors stole this land generations ago.
Then they came for the transgender people, and I said nothing because I was not trans.
Then they came for the rest of the people of color and I said nothing because I was white.
Then they came for the Jewish people and I said nothing because I was not Jewish.
Then they came for the rest of the queers and I said nothing because I was not queer.
Then they came for the leftists and I said nothing because I was not a leftist.
Then they came for the rest of the women and I said nothing because I was not a woman.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to fight for me.
I hope they start with Texas governor Greg Abbott
He's pretty much the perfect example of pulling the ladder up behind you with his policies about disabled people. You could throw in there the eventual instance of the inner circle turning against him, but that hasn't happened quite yet.
