Trump has given us — and by us, I mean largely the people at the top of the economic ladder, corporate leaders, their media lapdogs — permission to indulge that urge to cruelty while pretending we're "rebuilding" a "great" America and a "great" American economy. We're now going to see media and other leaders kowtow to Trump big-time, and as that happens, we'll see a lot of cover-up of the real price we're all paying for indulging ourr cruelty.. #Trump #cruelty #solidarity #CommonGood /8

@wdlindsy@toad.social this is one of the few articles I've seen that actually *gets* what's happened

@wdlindsy@toad.social Absolutely. Buckle has it nailed. Aligns directly with my phrasing: There exist *many* entitled 🫏's that have always been assholes in private & yearned to be assholes in public for lo some 70+yrs. Their parents taught it to them & they in turn taught the same to their children. Along comes Chump giving them all permission & encouragement to be those public assholes. They will always revere him for giving them that permission regardless what else he may do. That's MAGAt core.

@wdlindsy@toad.social America is finished; time to look to others to protect democracy.
