Just watched the 1st #GOPDebate. Bergum, Hutchison, and Scott did nothing to break through and are still very much a bunch of also-rans who'll likely be the first to drop out. The interesting thing I felt was that DeSantis was a bit of a nothing man. He was largely ignored by the other candidates and had no big spotlight moment. Candidates seemed to coalesce around attacking Ramaswami, though I suspect he considers that a win, as he's got nothing to offer except edgy contrarianism

Him: All right, that'll be two pounds and ten shillings for five minutes.
Me: OK, here you are.
Him: 😶
Me: Well...?
Him: What?
Me: When does the argument start?
Him: It already has.
Me: No it hasn't.
Him: Yes it has.
[etc]
Me: 😠

US Conservatives say they aren't Nazis yet they are constantly attacking human rights. Their idea of freedom is largely for white heterosexual males. Anyone else has a boot on their neck. #uspolitcs

Older piece, but even more apropos today. Florida and Texas are transitioning into fascism (as states within a state) now with other states soon to follow. If a Democrat is elected in 2024, it will only delay the transition at the federal level.

To paraphrase Sir Edward Grey, “The lamps are going out all over America, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.”

I wanted to test if Content Warnings (and the subsequent 'click to view' protection) carries over from the original post, if you boost it. But I can't, because, of the 20+ #uspolitcs posts on my dash this morning, NONE had a #contentwarning - most were there due to boosting.

PLEASE: if your post is something wearing on the soul (uspol is obvious), put it behind a #cw.

If you're boosting something like that, but it has no cw, DON'T BOOST IT.

Seriously, just write your own. WITH CW.

Despite all of the uncertainty, the information already available makes it possible to know what to watch for.
