I live in a small city in Connecticut. Thus, I don't think that the Trump admin would get the publicity hit that he wants from targeting some random city in CT that most people haven't even heard of and haven't had enough demonization of it ingrained into them for years. Unless he decides to start targeting metros (of which I am in the Hartford metro).

Of course, fascists don't often stop with the big cities. The thing is that Trump is a shallow creature that likes big shows. But again... Who's really running this show? Miller, probably. I'm scared of that dude, he'd reduce my state to ashes if he could because we're blue.

Stay safe, everyone. Scary stuff going on out there.

Miller and Homan are worse than Trump.

Hopefully he will just die soon. I have a feeling he is doing all this quickly because he knows he will take the stairway to heaven not knowing he will be with Satan real soon.

But how do we know Vance won't be worse?

He doesn't have the allies he needs.

I meant trying to get conservatives to, basically, stop being conservative.

I would consider voting Democrat if they went back to being as liberal as JFK.


Well, if the democratic socialists and progressives can infiltrate the Democrat party and do away with the DNC it might. There are some efforts to do that, but it hasn't picked up a ton of momentum. There is push-back from some leftists who don't think we should work with democrats, but democratic socialists and progressives have already tried running in third parties and that doesn't work. Makes more sense to get in there and reform the Democratic Party, like MAGA did to the Republican Party.

At this point, I consider anyone to the right of Zohran Mamdani to be a fascist.
