#trumpsim — Public Fediverse posts

This is, overall, an excellent writeup. I have a couple of quibbles (e.g., this WAS the expressed will of a plurality--though not a MAJORITY--of last years' voters, so our #AmericanOligarchs WEREN'T just ignoring the will of the people, and I do, for example, think a decent case could be made for handling illegal narcotics shipments into America as an act of war--as a form of chemical weapons, which have killed FAR more Americans than the attacks of those more famous "unlawful combatants" on 9/11) but even there, the #AgolfShitler administration consistently refuses even the most basic standards of evidence, oversight, and accountability REQUIRED FOR such justifications.

More to the point, though, Robin's writeup reminds us JUST HOW FAR the #Donjjal--the #MAGAts' 'messiah' who literally epitomizes EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Seven Deadly Sins--has (mis-)led us toward normalizing behaviors that EVERY CHILD can recognize as wrong...while spinning false #narrative woven from whole cloth out of #disinformation, to obfuscate and confuse those obvious conclusions for us 'more worldly' adults.

It's high time 'We, the People' rouse ourselves and put a stop to it. And Scott hints at a crucial conclusion that my wife (a scholar of ethics FOR DECISIONAKING) and I have reached as well: that getting back to and making explicit our "#FirstPrinciples of Americanism" that #Trumpsim stands manifestly opposed to is a key initial step.
