CW: CW: Far-right politics, fascism, AfD, anti-democratic rhetoric, election results
The problem in Germany after the Saxony-Anhalt election is this:
Every time we oppose the AfD, they will tell us, “But that’s what the voters want.” And then they’ll call us undemocratic for refusing to accept it.
No.
Democracy does not mean surrendering to the strongest fascist tendency at the ballot box. It means defending the democratic society in which people are actually free to disagree, organise, protest, and live without being targeted by fascists.
This will be a tough fight. It will be exhausting. And yes, sometimes it will feel horribly lonely.
But there is literally no alternative.
Until there is no Alternative. -
CW: CW: Fascism, far-right politics, racism, anti-queer rhetoric, threats to democracy.
The AfD’s results in Saxony-Anhalt are not merely “deeply troubling.”
They are the bill coming due after years of political complacency, denial, and deliberate-looking-away.
Centrists have spent years telling us not to overreact.
Not to “polarise.”
Not to call the AfD what it is.
Not to “drive voters into their arms.”
Not to make everything about fascism.Meanwhile, the fascists kept organising.
They normalised their language. They poisoned public discourse. They attacked migrants, queer people, democracy and the very idea of an open society, while "respectable" politicians kept insisting that the "real danger" was apparently being too rude about it.
Well. Here we are.
You cannot spend years treating an anti-democratic movement as just another flavour of conservative politics and then act shocked when it becomes stronger.
This is not happening because anti-fascists were too loud. It is happening because far too many people with power were far too quiet.
And no, the answer is not to move further to the right in the hope of appeasing the far right.
The answer is to fight them. Clearly. Consistently. Without apology.
Because fascism does not become less dangerous when we politely refuse to name it.

One more reason to fire everyone with an R after their name (and a few with a D, too!) this November.

Trump Is Manufacturing an Election Crisis to Justify Military and ICE Power
Trump is manufacturing claims of foreign interference and noncitizen voting to discredit future election losses and prepare Americans for authoritarian federal action.

my fellow Americans,
If you’re seeing this, please take a moment to write to your representatives and tell them to demand that Trump serves our nation, not foreign interests.
Write to all of them, including MAGA senators. Not because we expect to change their minds, but because they need to know they’re going against the will of the American people.
If you don’t feel like writing your own message, just keep it simple—tell them our leaders should stand for America, not dictators. It takes less than a minute, but it matters.Let’s make some noise

@StephenRamirez "Nervous breakdowns"? You kidding me????
From Jan 20, 2017 to Jan 20, 2021 the United States had its first very own Caligula in Oval Office.

@wendinoakland We may remember, that Trump is a defendant in four lawsuits so far, charged with 91 counts so far.
He is the incorporation of what the Founders understood by unacceptable extreme misdemeanor, unworthy to hold any government or other public office & disqualifyingly refusing to take care, that the laws be faithfully executed.#RuleOfLaw #AccountabilityMatters #JusticeMatters #DefendTheConstitution #DefendDemocracy #DefendTheUnion #TakeCareClause #DisqualifyTrump #NationalSecurityThreat #EnemiesOfTheLaw #CareerCriminals #CareerFraudsters #Espionage #Treason

@kegill Allowing an aggressive enemy of the constitutional order of the United States to run for presidential office must be another feature of American exceptionalism, I guess.

@LaureM @RollingStone Today's "Republicans" are effectively obstructing everything the Republican Party's co-founder Abraham Lincoln ever stood for, while being lucky Lincoln ignored & even vetoed efforts of Radical Republicans to impose even tougher sanctions on ex-Confederates.
Today's "GOP" is in no way GOP.
They're Lincoln's then-adversaries.
They. Are. The. Party. Of. Rebellion. And. Obstruction!As opposed to majority rule as in 1861, when their arch-enemy Lincoln was elected.

The question voters need to ask themselves before wasting their votes:
What are the virtues & ethics the guy, who begs to get my vote to make him represent me, my family & friends in United States Congress really has?
Will s/he serve me & most Americans or will s/he just be another lobbyist for an over-wealthy, self-centered splinter group unrepresentative of the nation's community?

@fluxed Haha, Minnesota's Supreme Court threw the ball back into the field of state "Republicans", whose responsibility it is to either put insurrection-inciter on states' ballots & nominate him to run for presidential office — or not!

@DemocracyMattersALot The "Republican" proposal to slash IRS funding alone constitutes a corrupt act & underlying bribery by the "GOP's" richest donors, to the disadvantage of low- & medium-income Americans.
Connecting that proposal with the alternative to stop aid to Israel is an act of illoyalty & corruption in favor of America's richest tax evaders, which can hardly be outperformed.#RuleOfLaw #AccountabilityMatters #JusticeMatters #DefendTheUnion #DefendTheConstitution #DefendDemocracy #TakeGOPOffTheBallots #BanTheGOP #Insurrection #Corruption #DefraudingAmerica #LootingAmerica

Abraham Lincoln, Republican: “The rule of a minority, as a permanent arrangement, is wholly inadmissible, so that, rejecting the majority principle, anarchy, or despotism in some form, is all that is left.”
Mike Johnson, "Republican": You're wrong! America's not a democracy!

@AlliFlowers @MJmusicinears With their phony baseless clown show in infantile retaliation for Trump's impeachment double-Burger today's confederate "Republicans" are putting all their contempt for the dignity of United States Congress on display.
Besides simple math telling that their infamous abuse of congressional power will be going to crash-land in the Senate, where they're also lacking a two-thirds majority.

@marcelias Replacements should have to undergo security clearance procedures & tests scrutinizing loyalty & adherence to the U.S. Constitution.
And neutralization of/accountability of terrorists attacking election officials verbally or physically, to disrupt the electoral process as fair & free as it should be.

@realTuckFrumper Mike Johnson no longer has his Confederacy (has been defeated), but is still on his own crusade against the Fourteenth (Reconstruction) Amendment, which Louisiana & the other ex-Confederate states had to ratify to regain representation in Congress.
SCOTUS's 1965 decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (use of contraceptives) was based on the Fourteenth Amendment.P.S.: Leonard Leo's protégé Johnson is either intellectually unable or unwilling to tell contraception from abortion.

Confederate Republicans-In-Name-only can't ever win in a single election, if they didn't suppress masses of voters known to be casting their ballots wisely not for the anti-electorate party, "GOP".

@Free_Press Individuals, who are defendants in fraud trial(s) better shut the fuck up publicly fantasizing about "rigged elections", like Trump did in 2016 before the election, when polls (accurately) predicted he was gonna lose to Hillary — which didn't happen due to Putin's interference & habitual/traditional "Republican" voter suppression, gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, intimidation & other regularly practiced methods of fraudulently obstructing the electoral process.

Who does Mike Johnson think he is, stupidly assuming he were entitled to promote a Christian-nationalist/fascist- branded U.S. government, against the documented beliefs & doctrines of President John Adams, the Founders & the author of the Treaty of Tripoli Joel Barlow, not even mentioning the First Amendment to the U'S. Constitution?
Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli:
"Art. 11. ***As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion***... ...it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.https://www.salon.com/2023/11/03/mike-johnson-is-not-a-culture-warrior--hes-an-enemy-of-democracy/

Haven't 4 years of being officially insulted as "fake news" by Trump been enough for America's major "Give-him-a-chance!" news outlets now ignoring the troubling background of a central MAGA player in Trump's Jan 6 conspiracy against the U.S. & citizens' (voting & other) rights?

@slcw Mike Johnson is not a Christian.
He's more of a crusader — including the ruthlessness, recklessness & mental brutality.
And he obviously totally misunderstood the actually pretty simple message of Jesus Christ "Love your neighbor like you love yourself."
How strong is Mike Johnson's hate & disgust of himself?
