The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”
“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.
I never watched the Handmaid’s Tale until Trump was elected the second time. Oddly prophetic in some ways, hopefully not in others.
This is so deeply ingrained the the US culture. It’s always been this way, ever since a continent was stolen and Manifest Destiny was a new thing. I mean, Hawaii is a state because it also was stolen, and a federal law prohibited the teaching of Hawaiian culture for like 50 years. If I recall correctly, it wasn’t repealed until like the 90s.
Just shameful stuff, from the beginning through to today.
Yes, and this November I really hope people don’t allow it to turn from that into something far far worse.
