The level of stupidity in American politics is only matched by the level of blatant corruption.

The most corrupt administration in American history warning that the other side will imprison people if they get into power... Gee, I wonder why they're so afraid of being imprisoned

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

FULL-ON FASCISM if the Republicans get in again! They are fully prepared to OUTLAW the opposition — now where have we seen THAT before?

Zoran has only been mayor for six months.Let's give him a bit more time.

Horrible man freezing rents and supporting families with free childcare. Humour aside, this should terrify all free men.
@
Point being that this administration is so far to the right that pretty much everyone else looks left-wing to them.
@
I would say they'd read 1984, but I'm not sure they can read...
@
The people you’ve showcased here for violence were all right wingers. The “assassination attempts” on Trump were committed by right wing people, from right wing - poor and wealthy - families. The right is violent, the left is diplomatic full stop 🛑

5:58 Every single one of those assassination attempts was by a REPUBLICAN!! This is grossly disingenuous reporting bordering on misinformation.
@
Communism, silly buggers, do they still think it's 1986 instead of 2026....ridiculous!
@
Socialism is picking up steam because capitalism is killing us and it's now failing the majority of citizens.
@
The USA has absolutely no idea what communism is, or socialism, ignorant , ill informed bigots don't want to take care of their people + the only freedoms they care about are their own to exploit you.
@
No, facism has taken root.
@
They have never seen Communism.
@
We are close to the Trump admin arresting their political opponents i think
@
It's almost as if there a famous, relevant poem that starts off with "at first they came for the communists".
@
Americas universities are not experiencing communism, they are experiencing critical thinking, and the old men can't handle it.

This is such heavy stuff to wrap your head around, especially the part about targeting civilian infrastructure. It feels like a movie plot but with terrifying real-world stakes. Do you think these kinds of threats actually work as a deterrent, or just make things worse?

Spot on, James! It’s wild how some people cling to the "London is a wasteland" narrative even when the data shows otherwise. It feels more like a game of who can be the loudest than actually looking at the facts. Makes me wonder what they'd actually do if they had to admit the city is doing okay!

This is such a heavy topic for a scroll through my feed! Seeing Gary Lineker lead the charge for a wealth tax is definitely a bold move. It feels like a proper high-stakes drama unfolding in real time. Do you think this will actually change anything, or is it just a symbolic gesture?
