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.
How is any of this legal? Why aren’t Americans doing anything about it? WTF happened to you guys?
It’s not. The people with the authority to do anything about it either won’t or can’t. You’re First Amendment rights are worth 2¢ in a trillion dollar economy. While the 2A was supposedly written to be the follow-up, it has basically the same effect.
So now it’s ok to be anti-fascist? Um so if I go and say I am anti fascist, nothing will go wrong, right? Right, guys?
This is undoubtedly a crime and every minion involved needs to be prosecuted and imprisoned for it once crimes are illegal again.
I suspect they’re not actually interested in kicking out the fascists.
They have convinced the moronic masses that the communists are equivalent to fascists, and they have convinced the masses that anyone not MAGA is a communist. They even started rounding up brown people, some of whom have died and/or will never see their families again. They’re builting concentration camps. AI datacenters are meant to take control over computing and the communication it enables.
This is our last chance.
Hard to angle your leg in such a way as to kick yourself with enough force…
One ponders if they know the definition of any words at this point.
Oh they know, they just also know that they won’t face consequences if their rhetoric is completely untethered from reality, no matter how dangerous - it’s their whole thing.
Okay, fine, maybe Trump doesn’t know the definitions, but his puppet masters certainly do.
Temu Hitler spams the same fascist drivel used by Real Hitler in order to seize control of the country. Backed by the rich hoping to further rape and pillage the country and those scared that if Temu Hitler loses power they’ll be held accountable.
I still don’t see how anyone can watch this shit seriously.
The Trump administration is a rabid animal that needs to be put down.
Extends beyond Trump. Republicans in Congress are complicit.
And any aipac funded dems
Both sides.
Criticizing dems that won’t impeach trump or stop his stupid war isn’t “both sides”. Fetterman is worse than useless
You realize the both sides thing comes from the idea that one side is actually different? I hate these internet cliches because smugly incorrect people will grandstand with them. Whataboutism too. You know the democratic party also gets aipac money right? Democratic Party politicians and democrat media are equally (if not more due to their neoliberal globalist stance) compromised by Israel. Get a spine, if you can’t even break the party line to whisper a mild critique about the milquetoast “””opposition””” that’s been complicit in a genocide for 3 years I have nothing to say to you. Politics is only a sport for you, then.
“Well meth clearly isn’t working out because my wife left me and I lost my job and my teeth are falling out, but obviously I can’t go back to just alcohol because alcohol is expensive and it makes me sluggish at work. I don’t know which is worse!” - you, probably
Idk, I’m sure there’s a better analogy out there but you get the point.

MAGA in general.
The ultra wealthy class will team up with the religious radicals to just replace them. The problem won’t be solved that way.
Yeah, he’s a particularly malignant tumor, but he’s not the underlying cancer.
The country DOES need to remove him in order to survive, but doing so ISN’T enough.
Conservatism is cancer. It brings only sickness and death. This has been true throughout all human history. Nothing good has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.
I want it to happen during primetime television so the program will be interrupted to tell me
The networks playing Swan Lake would be fitting in oh so many ways. Especially for CBS.
The unexpected fireworks will also be a good indicator.
It’s a bit terrifying how the entire country is just walking forward into this.
It’s not the entire country. Conservatives are dragging the normal people into this. Our nation is absolutely infested with conservatives. This is what happens when we don’t finish a civil war properly. We either finish Sherman’s work or we suffer the consequences of humanizing pure evil.
Watching from the outside, I’ve never doubted they would. USA has always been so disgustingly patriotic, to the point of ignoring everything bad about the country in order to fuel their imagined self image as “The Greatest Country In The World”. It was always going to be like this, when most of the country is that brainwashed and ignorant.
I think it was letterman that started his show with “from New York, the greatest city in the world” that they unreflectively cheered for years … which I think is an example of how brainwashed even the more liberal Americans have been over the last 50 years. Their entire culture has been leading to this point.
They were never the good guys.
One of the first things I learned about climate change in the 90s was the US didn’t ratify Kyoto—and Bush withdrew in 01. Never the good guys. We can go back further (Allende, Nicaragua—not the good guys there either).
But still, even many liberal leaning people, think they are the greatest. And they laughably think this is a blip.
Edit: this post definitely triggered some Americans.

The only people you’ll find actually saying that are New Yorkers. And they have said that shit for a LONG ass time. Their arrogant delusions are sort of unmatched when it comes to having the “best”… whatever. Pizza, bagels, art, etc. they’ll claim everything they do is the best in the world regardless of reality.
There’s American Exceptionalism sure, but in my experience even an unpatriotic New Yorker thinks NY is the best city in the world.
It’s actually quite old. At least a century or two, if not more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism
just ‘a bit’?
I keep telling people but most people on Lemmy are like “you’re a doomer” which says a lot about how this happened.
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.
Thank GOD they Fired me and My Neighbors so we could AFFORD these Ads!

Anyone got a link to the propaganda video? I’m curious, but not so curious to dig it up.
It’s really a fucking shame what a group of pedophiles are doing to the USA and I don’t think their appetite will be satiated with just that one country (playing politics in Europe by the US oligarch is clue enough). Like I really am not optimistic but I hope the US gets their shit together, but maybe they can do something to stamp this shit out for themselves and the rest of us.
I used to love going to the states as a kid/teen on family trips, but don’t think I can ever bring myself to go back. I actively discourage friends and family to do the same. It’s not worth all the freedoms to end up in a box in El Salvador for making free expressive posts like this on public forums. But I don’t trust one iota that my rights would be upheld if I were targeted at a border with an illegal search of my phone.
It’s basically on repeat for any nfl ad break right now.
Still around, this guy?
