The mainstream press failed to accurately describe the hand gesture that Elon Musk made twice at Trump’s Inauguration Day rally, setting a troubling precedent for the second Trump era.

      As an American who fucking hates Nazi’s, piss off with your defeatism. I would much rather die fighting against Nazi’s than run like a coward because things look bad.

          Has nothing to do with “being tough” or any kind of posturing. How would you react when told to abandon something you believe in and let it be taken over by the worst of humanity? Do you love Nazi’s and want Americans to be Nazi’s? (see i can deflect the conversation into bullshit too).

              My community, and the idea that we can and should always strive to be better than we are today.

                Fair enough, I don’t disagree with your choice to defend what you believe in ( and i doubt you care about my opinion on that anyway, i wouldn’t if the situation were reversed ).

                Your wording implies you believe that had you chosen differently you would be a coward, are you implying that all people who don’t choose as you did are cowards, or is this specific to your choice ?

            It’s a lot easier if you stop believing in America.

            They let us all down it’s time to let it burn.

              “Let it burn” means giving up and letting them win. Accepting defeatism and rolling over for them is exactly what got them into power and is letting them stay there.

              I, personally, would much rather keep fighting them.

      There’s no getting out, what happens in America affects the rest of the world too.

      Nazis have the federal government in a chokehold but there’s a lot of resistance at local and municipal levels. I’m just mid level management but after Trump’s announcement on “two genders” I immediately let my trans and nonbinary employees know that they would continue to be seen and respected and validated at work regardless of what the white house says.

      The worst I fear is still the issue of global warming, it’s already bad and the white house is locking in on releasing all the CO2 it can - and the entire globe will suffer for it.
