Trump is radicalizing his minions to violence on Truth Social

[feelosofer]

The Parable of the Talents and The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler is one of the classic stories in Black sci fi. It was written in the early 1990s and imagines an America where the crack epidemic, LA riots, etc. just kept getting worse until California and several other regions basically fall apart societally, with militarized corporate towns here and there employing virtual slavery on their workforces behind walls that keep out the rampant gangs, addicts, and homeless barely surviving out in the ungoverned wastelands outside.

Within that mess elections are still happening, and a demigogue presidential candidate emerges who looks EXACTLY like Trump except that he's an actual preacher. But the exact same shyt Trump does with demonizing outsiders, calling for law and order, appealing to right-wing populism, letting the corporations do whatever they want, and aligning with hardcore Christian nationalists/fascists. The crazy thing is that even while this president is as obviously anti-poor as can be and there are hints that his followers are anti-black as well, he still manages to gain black supporters who talk like, "Maybe we really need more law and order to turn this thing around."


You read the book and its fukking crazy how well it matches the Trump phenomenon. Octavia Butler isn't with us anymore, but I think the only aspect she would be surprised about is how little actual societal decay it took to push people in that direction.

Sometimes I really feel like even back in the late eighties and nineties, people were warning us of a Donald Trump presidency and why it would be bad for America.

It seemed ridiculous but they had a point. The Donald Trump presidential nightmare has been an encapsulation of all the collective evils that have consumed America.

This and this.

None of this would be happening now if #JebSet won in 2020

Trump's ego is so big he's messing up DeSantis big time, dude doesn't even care about the future GOP his ego is crazy.

Dude might legit set the GOP back even further than they already are.

Trump is bankrupting the Republican Party with the same level of skill that he bankrupted his own businesses.

As somebody who lives in TX, this whole situation worries me. I've been planning a move for a while now, and this is just making me want to move out of red states even sooner. I just gotta wait a few months for my job to allow me to move

Let’s remember who were the loudest KOONS when it mattered

I'm just leaving this here to remind you of something trump and Devin Nunez own truth social that is a billion dollar operation that if taken offline can be hosted somewhere else and possibly never taken offline.

And the former President is now calling for violence and taking 4klan memes. Yes you read that right.

And mad WS groups are on TruthSocial.

Yes yes he’s radicalizing his minions to get washed up

The QAnon shyt is depressing. It's like this country has intellectual regressed a hundred years. I guess it's a product of our subpar education system, air pollution, GMOs, harmful chemicals in our food and water, and news/social media trapping people in a bubble of perpetual fake news (remember when people believed covid came from 5G antennas?)

Equally goofy conspiracy theories get thrown around on TLR regularly

And mad WS groups are on TruthSocial.

Truth social is a ws hub. There's no casual news, sports, video games, common interest. If your on truth, you're a white supremacist.

You guys haven't seen anything yet. The people he holds most accountable for his loss is the GOP. He really expected Pence to overturn those electoral votes.

He is out to sabotage the GOP. I'm glad they are in denial about it.
