Once the lawsuits rack up they’ll pass immunity laws for ICE.

I bet it will happen within the year, faster if there’s a major incident involving ICE

I’m pretty sure they always have been. IIRC you’ll find op-Ed’s praising Hitler and Germany leading up to WW2.

They also deliberately slandered the guy that broke the (CIA admitting cocaine from Nicaragua into the US to fund right wing militias) story that often gets told as “the CIA introduced crack into black communities”. They effectively discredited the story, which turned out to be true.

The Behind the Bastards episode on it is p good

Yeah, the delusion is only growing. I saw a woman involved in a state Republican Party post that she “saw through Newsmax’s liberal bullshit” and that while her husband still likes them she “knew the truth”.

We’ve far surpassed dangerous levels of delusion.

If they were solely a propaganda piece of Oligarchs, I would have imagined they wouldn’t have the US keep dropping on their index of freedom lists and not have all the European nations listed as high: https://www.cato.org/human-freedom-index/2024

I think they believe their own bullshit.

They’re silly libertarians, but even they can see the authoritarianism that’s on the rise.

Khamenei is walking on eggshells and gambling that Trump disrupts trading partnerships enough to open up Iranian markets more. I hope it does not work out well for him.

It’s just bots at this point. They ban anyone with a brain. Got banned from there like 8 years ago for posting a tweet by Trump that criticized his actions during his first term. Banned within 2 min.

?? IIRC 1984 was criticism of all totalitarianism which he saw in Stalin’s Soviet Russia and Franco’s Fascist Spain. He was a democratic socialist, and opposed to authoritarianism.
