It’s a ton of the media really, not ‘just enough’ afaict. So much reporting from all the US mainstream media treats everything he says with kid gloves. If he invaded canada tomorrow the headline on CNN would be something like “US military deployed in proactive peacekeeping mission to the north”.

I’m not very familiar with Portuguese history but my understanding is that authoritarianism in Portugal was ended by the carnation revolution, which was a military coup. I’m curious what this person means as well. You can’t vote out authoritarianism, at best you get a dictator kind enough to decide to step down when asked.

I hadn’t read it as “theirs”, I assume they heard it somewhere and are repeating it just as I plan to do.

I don’t think they’re panicking, this is how they always behave. Trump is saying a moronic thing again to draw attention from the actual important authoritarian shift onto “what stupid meaningless shit did he say”. It’s the same fucking playbook every time.

Best analogy I’ve seen so far, thanks so much.

Call me when the democrats actually do something to fight fascism then. I predict you’ll continue to side with them as they continue to sit on their asses whining “it’s not allowed!” while your country invades mine. Cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

I’m pretty sure it’s actually a broadcast from the future mate.

no enthusiasm among the left due to infighting and degrading our candidate.

First, the democrats are not “the left”. Don’t even pretend. Dick Cheney is on their side and they lauded that, ffs.

Second, we all did our damnedest to bite our tongues over your pro-cop, pro-israel bae, but everyone is well aware she was a piece of shit candidate. “Infighting” isn’t what cost the democrats the vote. “Pushing forward another intensely bad choice and then running a bad campaign that failed to win anyone over” did. You left people stuck between an insane choice and a miserable one. Should they have chosen misery? Sure, but don’t parade around acting like everyone should have proudly accepted the miserable one. That’s the attitude that has cost your country everything. The democrats are continuing to prove they just have no idea how to lead themselves or act in any meaningful way in the face of fascism.

They won’t get the message, and it won’t matter now. Americans voted for their nation to formalize its oligarchy. From the current trajectory, I wouldn’t hold my breath on this playing out in any accelerationist’s favour either.

At this point I think it’s all a little moot, I’ll be genuinely surprised if the US ever has a proper democratic election again.

What’s with this nazi glorification? They were exactly the same sort of people as musk. Look at frigging Hitler.

Yes thank you, this is the sane response. Sitting here in my neighbouring nation wondering if we’ll be facing invasion in the next year or two, I have no sympathy for people who couldn’t hold their nose and vote for harm reduction. I just can’t understand why so many Americans are too blind to understand that you can have harm reduction, AND oppose the democrats.
