20-01-2025. This is a real image
“Mildly” is putting it mildly.
This gif is real.
The US didn’t even get the excuse of being forced to pay obscenely high war reparations to justify their fascism. Instead, it’s dissatisfaction with inflation which, in turn, is the predictable combination of the exponential depletion of scarce resources (real estate, water) and the consolidation of property into the hands of an ultra wealthy minority. If one must frame the emergence of fascism in a “war” context, then the cause is plutocrat beligerantes strategically fighting a social class war while most of everyone else think it’s a culture war.
Ngl, I was sceptical since still images are not a good representation of what’s really going on when people are moving around, but then I checked out the video. Good lord, he even did it twice.
Remember when everyone hated on regular Russian citizens for not forming a rebellious revolution against Putin and assassinating him in his sleep? For not shooting every Russian oligarch and everyone who rubber stamped the invasion of Ukraine? Remember when people called them cowards and “as good as nazis” for being complacent and not getting up and doing something about it?
Where are you keyboard warriors now that the USA needs you?
Just sayin’
I want this picture on a sticker so I can put it on every Tesla I see.
Musk went from being the Henry Ford of our times to the Henry Ford of our times.
In the meantime while everyone is looking at Elon Donald is signing executive orders to
- Grant top secret security clearances to White House staff without going through traditional vetting procedures.
- Open the Alaska wilderness to more oil and gas drilling.
- Eliminate environmental justice programs across the government, which are aimed at protecting poor communities from excess pollution.
- Move to end birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, for the children of undocumented immigrants.
- Declare migrant crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border to be a national emergency
- Remove protections for transgender people in federal prisons.
- Ensure that states carrying out the death penalty have a “sufficient supply” of lethal injection drugs.

And it’s day fucking 1! We still have (at least) four more YEARS of this!
I’m reminded of Trump’s first term, when we all thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, and yet it always did keep getting worse.
Lookit his face. Makes me wanna slap the text FUCKTARD on it
“MildlyInfuriating”
Nah, this belongs in “ActuallyHorrifying”
Yeah I figured we had a year or two at least before slowly taking off the mask and showing the true fascism. This was just right out of the gate.
Why not? There’s been no penalty. No widespread social ostracizing, no legal justice, no political punishment… This is who they are, and enough Americans are okay with that that they don’t have to pretend otherwise.
The mask has been slowly coming off for at least 15 years. If you haven’t noticed and this seems like a surprise, I honestly don’t know what to say.
The nazis are wasting no time gloating.
I guess don’t visit the new https://www.whitehouse.gov/ then.
Is that a fucking movie trailer? Wtaf
I wish I could say we just gotta wait 4 years but I wouldn’t believe if I said it. The US is past a fucking joke. Just… Fucking dammit…
Jebus.
Can we just go to the old whitehouse.com?
Careful. That sort of smut is banned in our free country.
Unless you use a VPN. Which they’re probably now targeting…
Whoa now. That’s crazy talk.
Next you’re going to tell me they want everyone to be registered online to our IDs so we can be tracked. I mean to save the children. 🇺🇸
And then you’d prolly suggest something wild like they are putting back doors in our encryption and communication networks so they can track us further … I mean to save the children. 🇺🇸🦅
I suppose then just for fun you’d toss in something utterly insane like keeping track of us with camera systems and arresting us using those cameras - purely on speculation alone… I mean to save the children. 🇺🇸🦅🫡
And you’d be an absolute comedian - Because what are we… some crazy country like all those bad ones we talk about? Nonono. Not only are we free - #Buy God™, we’re gonna save those kids. 🇺🇸🦅🫡🎇🎆🎇
(Yes the spelling was intentional)
We need to save and remember this moment. The assholes are already rewriting history as we speak.
Next he’ll be wearing a swastika on his arm and claiming “oh this is just a whirling log, a symbol of prosperity and peace”. And also “oh this is just a very black uniform that Hugo Boss made for me”
