But what is striking is that Donald Trump said the administration will "find anyone who contributed to this crime”. It’s clear he doesn’t mean directly - he means indirectly. Opposing, say, Trump’s authoritarianism at home, or his facilitation of genocide abroad, will face an increased clampdown: how extreme that will be is yet to be known.

Fuck that. They perish just as easily as the next guy. I smell spring coming.

Watch Mehdi Hassan's conversation with Ilham Omar. Being brown and outspoken in America right now is, to quote Omar: "mortifying".

Especially since Nazis were on the ballot. And now run the fucking place.

Nah. I’ve been on cloud nine since I watched him die. Nazi lives don’t matter.

People are acting like the right aren’t pushing their fascism as fast as they can anyway.

The war will be over by Festivus

The war isn’t actually going to start. These dumb mouthpieces don’t actually speak for the majority of Americans. And the right wing is not nearly as organized as they would like to think they are.
