@JomaroRogamur @TheDemCoalition Cult

@TheDemCoalition Trump represents those who love their country, don’t want it to be usurped by illegal criminals the Left entices into the country to destroy Democracy & American identity, & don’t want their children destroyed by people for whom LGBTQ+ is the new norm. Civil War Z has begun

These quick thoughts by Michael Jochum on the disturbing reason Trump gets as much support as he does is a must-read 👇 I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is. I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others. If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy. If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy. If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it. It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume. Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.” And that’s the part that should chill us. Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform? Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress. Now the mask is off. Now we know. And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand. – Michael Jochum, Not Just a Drummer: Reflections on Art, Politics, Dogs, and the Human Condition.

@TheDemCoalition @_SusanSams Brilliant!

@TheRiversEdgeAB Fascists ALWAYS attempt to create an ‘us vs them’ narrative. This is what the maple MAGA ‘movement’ is. Who funds you River’s Edge? MAGA? Russia? Some other far-right dark money source?

When Eastern Canadian Liberals and Leftists Tell You Alberta Can't Leave - They Reveal Who They Are...

Maple MAGA bullshit.

@abc123jjj Who funds your separatist bullshit, D.C.L?

Keith Wilson won tonight’s debate. He spoke of the future, while Kenny spoke about the past. He gave a message of hope, while Kenny resorted to fear, fairytales and emotion. Keith said 2 things that truly stuck out to me: 1) “Albertans are waking up to the value of their worth.” 2) And he spoke about how elected officials in an independent Alberta will be elected by Albertans, held accountable by Albertans, and removed by Albertans. Kenny also said 2 things that stuck out: 1) Independence would end Alberta’s O&G industry. 2) Future President Newsom or future President Harris won’t want to work with Alberta. Tonight’s debate will be available to watch on aristotlefoundation.org in the upcoming days. Everyone should take the time to view it.

@Doubletapp187 @papajeff71 Alberta ‘patriots’. Give me a fucking break. Traitors through and through. WHO FUNDS YOUR BULLSHIT?

Albertans just don’t believe these clown MPs, MLAs, talking heads, and the progressive losers. You’ve all been in on the grift for decades. So why the sudden urgency to “fight for Alberta”? You’re parasites and liars. The only reason you’re doing anything now is because Alberta patriots have been doing the real work putting an end to the grift and going full send on a solution that will deliver incredible results for Alberta and prove catastrophic for canada.

@Alaskacryptogi1 @CattardSlim No they didn’t.

@CattardSlim Democrats under biden approved it.

Mason County, WV. voted +82 Trump Their reward, you ask? A new Data Center, & a backyard swamp to compliment their smokestacks. Winning!

@WallyPetersIV @CattardSlim Cult

@CattardSlim Bummer they have to adapt while Democrats have been threatening their coal businesses for the last 15 years to chase climate butterflies.

@dckurek @MarkJCarney Sit down, you disingenuous lackey. What did you get handed to you on a platter for you to give up your seat for your loser leader?

You want to start listing the things Albertans didn't vote for @MarkJCarney? That list (and its a long one over succesive elections) is largely what forced 700k Albertans to ask for a vote on this very issue. Plus, I dont remember you winning a majority in the last election?

@MelodyMacmillan @Ronicountrysoul What does our country ‘do’ for us? Besides give us one of the best places on Earth to live? Clearly you don’t think so, so here’s a suggestion, get the fuck out.

@InBed17 @Ronicountrysoul What does Canada do for us? Asking because I want to know why you think this way.

They’re doing it again, dividing Alberta patriots with noise! Stop falling for it. The Alberta independence movement must stay Politician-Free. This isn’t led by career politicians who sold us into the New World Order. It’s led by Albertans — real people who actually love this province. No one is coming to save us. We save ourselves. #AlbertaIndependence #Riseofalberta #Albertafortislibre

@Turn_and_Tempo @rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes No I’m not. You are literally cutting and pasting from your ‘script’. Then then straight to your ego boosting gaslighting bullshit that I don’t know what I’m talking about.

@InBed17 @rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes Again, you're operating off a script. And the funniest thing is you don't even know what gaslighting means because it doesn't apply here lol x.com/i/status/19190…

@rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes MAGA fascists, billionaires, and oligarchs, and their lickspittle. I stand corrected.

@R21289Jeff Narrator: It is true. JRC cried and cried and cried for ‘one good reason’. I gave him one, but he cried ‘No, it’s not even TRUE, so try again! No intellectual response, just tears. This is maple MAGA bullshit in a nutshell.

@InBed17 Nope! It’s not even TRUE, so try again!

Please, MAKE THE CASE! Give us ONE GOOD REASON TO STAY, DAMNIT! Secessionists are NOT SEPERATISTS so much as SOVEREIGNTISTS to a SOVEREIGN REPUBLIC OF ALBERTA! They have NEVER GIVEN US ONE GOOD REASON TO STAY!

@Turn_and_Tempo @rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes Utter bullshit. You’re using gaslighting, and bigotry to try and boost your fragile ego. Why is that?

@InBed17 @rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes Trump, despite his Avalanche of style flaws, has done more good for America than any president in our lifetime. You're just that smart enough to see it. You're a feminized man who's been kardashianized to where style matters more than reality or results. Democrats count on you

💯 agree Laura. She's dangerous and I'm sure there's a money trail or the promise of one somewhere.

“You have a right to leave Canada. You do not have a right to take a piece of it with you.” Andrew Coyne delivers a sharp response to separatism. Watch the full interview on the Energi Media channel. #Canada #AbLeg #Separatism

@yegwave @bunnyhur We didn’t. He’s absolutely correct.

PM Mark Carney says Albertans did not vote for a separatist agenda in the last provincial election, arguing it was not part of the governing party’s platform and warning the issue creates economic uncertainty.

@AngelaUnspoken No, the strongest argument against Alberta independence is that Alberta would be vastly poorer, both economically and culturally, separate from our friends and families in the rest of Canada. macdonaldlaurier.ca/a-separate-alb…

The strongest argument against Alberta Independence isn’t economic, it’s nostalgia.

@Turn_and_Tempo @rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes No, it’s a cesspool.

@InBed17 @rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes Maga is a compliment

@Turn_and_Tempo @rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes You’re not right, Kaiser. Claiming ‘victory’ is such a tell tale sign of an immensely fragile ego. As predicable as a Trump lie.

@InBed17 @rosebud_jurado @glenn_tunes You're getting upset because you know I'm right. You clowns rotate through the same five or six words, and have no ability to make it a salient point. You're literally wrong on everything lok
