By saying it's "wasting unnecessary" tax dollars. I saw a comment that said he should be able to afford his own security because "we the tax payers fund his 300k yearly retirement". Meanwhile the fat cats are laughing all the way to the bank as this guy fights for a literal crumb of a crumb 🙄
For an hour today I had to listen to a conservative talk radio host keep repeating that if anyone in Europe said there were only 2 genders that the "stormtroopers" would be knocking on their door the next day. Over and over again trying to drill it into people's heads that this happens somewhere. It only happens in their fantasies, the fantasies they are trying to normalize because they want people to think it is normal when they start knocking on peoples doors for having any freedom of speech or expression. (And then I remembered that Desantis ordered just this when people signed a petition to get something voted on)
Fucking exhausting listening to the wack shit they say.
Yeah, that does seem to be the tenor of it.
It might make me a terrible person, but I hate Trump more for how stupid everything he does is than how evil it is. Every step of the war he hurts us, econimically, diplomatically, bureaucratically. Even if he doesn't try an ethnic cleansing and self-coup, the damage he has done to democratic institutions, professional government and our place in the world is something none of us will live to see America recover from.
