Two second animated gif showing three people. The leftmost person is merely a bystander watching the altercation between the man in the center of the gif, and the third man to the right. There is no text. The center man is a Caucasian wearing a black leather jacket with a bright red white and black Nazi swastika armband. Center quickly holds up his hand as the rightmost BIPOC man approaches menacingly. Almost too fast to see, the rightmost man ignores the Nazi's upheld hand, and devastatingly delivers a blow to the Nazi, who then falls down as a result of the blow.

Tweet from: bireeves95 re-tweeting tweet from powermacuser12 bireeves95 text: This is very suspicious... Hope we find more around the country... powermacuser12 tweet text: Elon Musk rigged the 2024 election for Donald Trump, because results like Ramapo District 35 in Rockland County, NY could never have occurred naturally.

It's interesting that you are willing to admit the Fascism though.
Americans are, of course, the most thoroughly and passively indoctrinated people on earth. They know next to nothing as a rule about their own history, or the histories of other nations, or the histories of the various social movements that have risen and fallen in the past, and they certainly know little or nothing of the complexities and contradictions comprised within words like “socialism” and “capitalism.” Chiefly, what they have been trained not to know or even suspect is that, in many ways, they enjoy far fewer freedoms, and suffer under a more intrusive centralized state, than do the citizens of countries with more vigorous social-democratic institutions. This is at once the most comic and most tragic aspect of the excitable alarm that talk of social democracy or democratic socialism can elicit on these shores. An enormous number of Americans have been persuaded to believe that they are freer in the abstract than, say, Germans or Danes precisely because they possess far fewer freedoms in the concrete. They are far more vulnerable to medical and financial crisis, far more likely to receive inadequate health coverage, far more prone to irreparable insolvency, far more unprotected against predatory creditors, far more subject to income inequality, and so forth, while effectively paying more in tax (when one figures in federal, state, local, and sales taxes, and then compounds those by all the expenditures that in this country, as almost nowhere else, their taxes do not cover). One might think that a people who once rebelled against the mightiest empire on earth on the principle of no taxation without representation would not meekly accept taxation without adequate government services. But we accept what we have become used to, I suppose. Even so, one has to ask, what state apparatus in the “free” world could be more powerful and tyrannical than the one that taxes its citizens while providing no substantial civic benefits in return, solely in order to enrich a p…
Picture of Trump in a chair, surrounded by a crowd of his totally-not-a-cult followers, reaching out to and touching him.

Many of the people have their eyes closed, but are dressed in suits and or "Sunday clothing."
