    Is your feeling okay more important than fascism flaking?

    I thought the point of the phrase was to bruise Trump’s ego and reputation? It’s not “We believe this in order to make ourselves feel better,” but rather “Trump attempts to project a strong self-image, but he’s actually an insecure little chicken shit without a sense of personal conviction.”

      This just provokes him, it doesnt actually degrade his power base like Epstein stuff at least theoretically should.

      Yes, its true, but if you keep provoking him his senile ass will just start committing to shit for the sake of it. It gives him a clear out and it’s not oje we want him to take.

        Fascists never need an excuse to react. They’ll find scapegoats when they want to, but the fact is they don’t truly need them in order to retaliate - Trump and his ilk will do what they do regardless of what the rest of us say.
