  • “THERE WILL BE NO REMATCH,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform. “SO THERE IS NOTHING TO DEBATE.”

    Trotting out the classics, huh? Big “If we did less testing, we’d have less COVID cases” energy.

    Trump said it was very late in the process now to have a debate.

    The second Presidential Debate in 2020 took place on Oct. 22nd. This invitation from Fox News is for Oct. 24th or 27th. And the original CNN debate was scheduled for Oct. 23rd so fuck right off with that excuse, coward.

    Cool, now which is easier to build movements under, a fascist regime, or a moderate milquetoast capitalist regime?

    Let’s be real here, the kind of person ranting on the internet about “ThE DuOpOlY” is not actually interested in building anything at all. They just like to stomp their feet, and shout “no fair!” over and over again like the petculant children they are, while the grownups are busy trying to prevent the country from descending into fascism.















  • Too little too late. Fuck the New York Times and their sane-washing of Trump.

    Behind The Bastards did an interesting two part episode covering the role that the media played in Italy, Germany and the U.S. which contributed to the rise of fascism throughout Europe during the 1920s and 1930s. Basically, their attempts to maintain neutrality only served to legitimize extremist rhetoric and present fascists as reasonable folks who just had different, but equally valid, ideas. So The New York Times is just perpetuating the status quo here by sane-washing Trump and legitimizing the extremist goals of the MAGA movement. At some point everyone has to take a side, and many media outlets, including the NYT, have a lengthy track record of choosing to align themselves with the right side of history only after the dust has settled.

    If anyone would like to check out the episodes I’m talking about, here’s the YouTube version:

    Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URABscYOjRE

    Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW7FCJG9NjQ

    Edit: Anyone suggesting the media should not reject fascism in the name of some misguided sense of objectivity will be ignored. I don’t debate the merits of legitimizing fascist movements.
