When leaders of Young Republican groups around the country exchange texts that say “I love Hitler”; that joke about gas chambers and rape, approve of slavery, sneer about “watermelon people” and monkeys in zoos, and throw around words like faggot and retarded, they aren’t just exposing their own anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, and misogyny. To see only the varieties of bigotry with which we’re painfully familiar is to miss the depth of MAGA’s moral collapse. Professing love for Hitler is more than anti-Semitic—it’s antihuman. It’s a proud refusal to be bound by the most basic standard of goodness, a deliberate expression of contempt for everything decent. The texts degrade all of us. (The Atlantic)
I was a proud participant of the “No Kings Rally” today, primarily to denounce the Fascist ways of Trump, but also attended because Fascism and Bigotry do not begin and end with Trump; it oozes, like a festering wound infecting a cadre of people, who, through Trump, have found it easier and acceptable to hate out loud, to bully without any repercussions, and to demonstrate their desire for the demise of democracy.
When a DOGE member was revealed to have posted “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity” and “Normalize Indian hate,” Vance—married to an Indian American—scoffed at the ensuing outrage and demanded that the offender be rehired. But when private citizens anywhere said something ugly about Charlie Kirk, the vice president went after their livelihood. Once morality is rotted out by partisan relativism, the floor gives way and the fall into nihilism is swift. (The Atlantic)
I was a proud participant of the “No Kings Rally” today because of people like Just Dance Vance and his cohorts of self-opportunity, self-preservation, ambitions, and their right-in-your-face hypocrisy. Men and women who will lie, cheat, and steal to maintain power, and act as the bullies to repress, restrict, and remove any and all power from the people.
I was a proud participant of the “No Kings Rally,” because above all else, unlike the current iteration of the Republican Party, and their cult like minions, I BELIEVE IN FREEDOM, EQUALITY, and our CONSTITUTION!
