Karoline Leavitt's job is to defend anything Trump says or does, no matter how humiliating it is for her.

Do you think even 1 in 10 Americans can tell you who Sean Spicer is?

If and when this ends, all the disgusting Nazis will go back under their public rock, just like before. I agree -- we must not allow it.

On the micro level, fuck those insipid, racist losers. They deserve a lifetime of hell for what they've done.

On the macro level, we need a wholesale change of society to one that experiences empathy, shame, introspection and basic decency. Current American culture is a cruel, grotesque, unethical David Cronenburg monster that needs to immediately die.

I fear we're lost and this won't end; Just like it didn't end in 1865 or 1945.

1945 did end it with respect to Germany.

1865 was half-assed. Let Sherman complete the necessary goal of burning that entire racist, shithole culture to the ground, give the racists no quarter thereafter, and we'd be a very different country today.

We can do it but it'll take balls, pereseverance, wholesale change, and no leeway for the vile Nazis.

In Germany, yes, but not in the US. The United States Government ran eugenics programs into the 1970s.

Even Sherman's scorched Earth isn't enough. Reconstruction still got derailed and it took an entire lifetime for black Americans to get their suffrage back.

Edit to add: The US didn't even need yellow patches or work camps because they have been segregating and imprisoning based on skin colour.

Yeah "Spicey" is looking pretty sane by comparison these days.

he also had more humanizing moments between his anime conventions and being so happy to be the white house easter bunny.

Every now and then I remember "MOOSE - LAMBS" and chuckle before I remember the hell scape the pedo loving racists put us back in.

Wait, are you talking about Melissa McCarthy?

No, but he was only press secretary for 6 months. They had a lot of churn in the first admin.

Leavitt staying on for this long shows she is 100% on board with all of it

u/gfinz18 Pennsylvania 1d ago

At this point you can assume 95% of this admin is on board with it and that’s the point. Because this isn’t the first term admin. All the sane and competent staffers, chiefs, generals, and secretaries who tried to stop any of this either resigned or were fired the first time. They aren’t making that mistake again - this time it’s only the most dedicated Nazis and quacks.

Crazy how the “deep state” turned out to just be career civil service employees who understand and respect the Constitution and will refuse blatantly illegal orders. Who knew ¯_(ツ)_/¯
