I hope you'll read this Q&A I did with @naomiaklein.bsky.social. Klein offers a clear-eyed assessment of the end game of Trump's billionaire backers -- and what it may take to reclaim our future from these megalomaniacs.

Strong arm tactics have come into fashion
The muscle boys are back in style
They shatter the bones of descension
And never crack a smile
Well, if that's the way breaks are gotten
You know I'm gonna give it a try
All I want is everything

The rich have successfully convinced poor conservatives to fight for their right to rob them.

You can see it in every post by our resident Deplorable Trumping MAGAts.

The fealty they display for the rich.

It's a mindless subservience.

Naomi Klein was born in Montreal, Quebec, into a Jewish family with a history of peace activism. Her parents were self-described hippies[10] who emigrated from the United States in 1967 as war resisters to the Vietnam War.

Trump really has helped his supporters feel comfortable saying the quiet part out loud.

"Jewish family with a history of peace activism"

Not all Jews are Zionist Colonialists.
That makes the Zionists really mad!

AI Generated Content, which happens to be accurate:

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is classified as an "anti-Israel" organization by the Anti-Defamation League.

The ADL, under CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, has labeled JVP and other Jewish organizations as "hate groups" for organizing anti-war protests and advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza, actions which the ADL has added to its database documenting rising antisemitism in the US.

#12: Hi Snoofy: ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt also defended Felon Musk's Nazi salute: www.wsj.com

Some ADL leaders resigned over Greenblatt's position. The ADL became a lobbying group like the NRA or AIPAC, rather than a defender of civil rights for Jews.

Trump has that covered.

He's got you so worked up about immigrants and transgenders, you're not paying attention to him looting the nation.

I'll take that as a backhanded agreement? Don't see how it directly relates to the Esau Gambit, though.

You do make a good point, though, that *ionists never like to fight their actual wars personally, but every *sraeli (except the 'orthodox' ones) is 'drafted' to participate in their local genocide sacrifice rituals. Satan demands it, from his children.

Ask liz cheney about cancel culture.

Or ask the right wing twitter influencer chicks who elon offers his sperm to, and then cuts off their followers and income if they tell anyone about it.
