An essential point. #MAGA and many of their sympathizers believe that Dems, the media and elites have violated American values, norms and laws regularly for a long time. They are wrong in regards to degree and how often, but it has happened. Alt media careers have been built on pushing this propaganda.
So what Trump is doing is seen less as beyond acceptable, and more as finally playing as dirty as the other side has been for a long time.
The fix is more truth & a restoration. #LiberalValues
Why we shouldn't waste time trying to "convert" Trump voters:
"Right now Trump is hurting the sort of people many of his voters seem to be interested in seeing get hurt.
He’s an avenging angel, wreaking vengeance on the elite institutions, scapegoats and bogeymen that the Republican party has spent years blaming for the state of the US."
Covid․gov now points to a ‘lab leak’ conspiracy websiteThe webpage purports to reveal the ‘true origins’ of covid | @verge
「 Navigating to the website reveals a prominent banner with the words “Lab Leak” and a photo of Donald Trump, as spotted earlier by Wired’s Andrew Couts.

"Fighting back doesn’t have to mean shouting louder. Another option is gracious, determined decency. Choose kindness over cruelty, generosity over selfishness, and evidence over bluster. Today, these quiet choices are acts of radical courage – ones that help build a better tomorrow. They might even make you happier, too."
"Trumpism is built on pettiness and self-interest, so resisting means embodying the opposite virtues. To paraphrase a much better president: do not ask what the world can do for your happiness – ask what you can do for the happiness of the world. You commit yourself to making the biggest difference you can – even when others do not."

U.S. citizens cannot be deported under immigration law; deportation applies only to non-citizens.
- Demanding that citizens "self-deport" is not only improper but also illegal, as all individuals on U.S. soil have due process rights under the Constitution. #ice #doge #fascism #constitution #maga #trump #Reels
Trump is pushing the Smithsonian to promote #AmericanGreatness. Says the guy who painted the darkest ever picture of America in his first inaugural and rips on everything done in this nation by people he doesn't agree with. #uspol #MAGA
Sozialdarwinismus auf dem Vormarsch: Die Unterscheidung von lebenswertem und -unwertem Leben ist zentraler Bestandteil der #MAGA-Ideologie, erklärt @da_loick in seiner aktuellen Kolumne. https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1190658.aus-dem-faschistischen-amerika-usa-neue-eugenik.html
#Race information disappeared on #OPM site that displays #statistics for public on 2.3M #federalemployees. For decades OPM has provided #Congress federal agencies, #academics w personnel data that helped shape #policies, #funding and #staffing decisions. Without the race information, those groups will not be able to easily track how #Trump’s workforce cuts affect minority race groups, including #Black and #Asian employees, #academics said. #censorship #discrimination #government #maga #politics

Encore une réussite de Trump, la catégorie (en anglais) "Controverses sous la seconde administration Trump" dans Wikipédia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Second_Trump_administration_controversies compte maintenant 73 pages et une sous-catégorie manifs #MAGA
"It doesn't seem #political, but the project of lulling users into not caring about anything outside their immediate self-interest suits the goals of the #MAGA movement... This isn't the #Christianity of the liberal Christians I know, who volunteer, donate money, and care very much about electing better leaders. This is a "don't worry your pretty head about all that stuff" kind of Christianity."

La France qui utilise la Libye comme zone tampon où ceux et celles qui fuient la misère et la catastrophe climatique se font torturer et violer, les USA qui utilisent le Salvador pour déporter les pas blancs (où ils subissent viols et tortures), et maintenant le Danemark qui fait de même au Kosovo.
Pour faire face à la surpopulation carcérale, le Danemark “exporte” ses détenus étrangers au Kosovo

Americans, residents of the USA, if you've got MAGA voters, or recent former-MAGA voters, who you can talk with, please ask them about how they're finding Trump2, and what they would think if he invoked the Insurrection Act and imposed martial law.
And then share your discoveries.
This is us.
The umbrella Trump abandons, as it won’t fit through the door of Air Force One without him going through the trouble of closing it.
We are this umbrella. Trump won’t bother to do anything for us, nor anyone who isn’t MAGA
We are the umbrella.
#Spotif goes #enshitification -- definitely final sign to switch to some (other European) alternative. Remember, Spotify hosts podcasts from #MAGA type people like #JoeRogan.
