Unlimited government surveillance
Unlimited power to ban leftist non-profits
Banning leftist social media
Sicing cops on students all over the country
Giving $95 billion to fascist regimes all over the world

lmao this shit is nuts and an escalation of fascism we haven't seen since the early days after 9/11. After months of fear-mongering about the supposed takeover of all facets of government by MAGA fascists if Trump wins, the fuckin dems went and passed everything they warned us would pass if we didn't bend the knee and back Genocide Joe, I think most leftists (including me) are still too shell shocked at this early stage to realize the full implications of what we've just been hit with, seriously wtf

It's wild because I actually saw some polls recently that showed them to be regaining the lead, then they do this. Like yeah polls are flawed, but it is maddening to see them do this.

It's pretty clear that the polls merely tell them how far they're allowed to push. Voter support is just currency to them, whenever they creep up in the polls it means they've built up enough spending power to implement something horrible.

He is literally turning a big dial that says "Racism" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right.

Libs keep falling for general approval polls and seem to be very determined to not mention that the dem candidate has to win by 5% to 7% to overcome the EC advantage of empty land in the Dakotas and Wyoming being very pro Trump.

Exactly like they did in 2016.
