  1. What a crock of nonsense. More satire I suppose?
  2. I have nothing against considering South African Afrikaners for asylum. But the special treatment Trump is giving them while excluding EVERYONE ELSE is solid proof yet again that the maga fascist movement indeed a WHITE NATIONALIST one.
  3. Maga cultists do love using the word HOAX when things are not that at all. Yes we know Trump won this time. That is NOT the flippin' point here.
  4. OK, that happened. Sweden of course went through. Iceland's song sung in Icelandic was fun. However there is a plagiarism accusation of a popular Israeli wedding song. Semifinal 2 two days from now.
  5. Trump dines with Nazis and sucks up to Putin and you're complaining about where a Never Trumper republican is a contributor?
  6. When Trump lost, he tried to not leave. That's all you need to know.
  7. No. It's for patriotic Americans who don't want democracy and the U.S. constitution destroyed by the autocratic maga movement.
  8. My main sources are sites like The Bulwark. Dominated by former republican conservatives. The Bulwark - YouTube Fox and the even more maga tv channels are basically Trump state tv propaganda. You can't believe anything from such garbage sources.
  9. Harvard professor offers a grim assessment of American democracy under Trump : NPR www.npr.org/2025/04/22/nx-s1-5372334/harvard-professor-offers-a-grim-assessment-of-american-democracy-under-trump Steven Levitsky studies how healthy democracies can slip into authoritarianism. He says the Trump administration has already done grave damage: "We are no longer living in a democratic regime."
  10. Very true. I made the point (did you miss it?) that they are not the same thing. But as far as killing people, Trump's killing USAID is predicted to kill millions of people internationally, and if the maga cult is successful is gutting Medicaid, many Americans will die as well. Ironically the majority of the people that will suffer because of gutting Medicaid will be maga types. Millions will die due to ‘ruthless’ USAID cuts, Vatican charity warns - National | Globalnews.ca www.globalnews.ca/news/11011850/usaid-cuts-vatican-charity/
  11. To me to support Trump is anti American because the maga movement is: pro Putin pro autocracy pro corruption anti rule of law anti constitution (except for the second amendment) anti democracy anti press freedom anti academic freedom
  12. What is believable is that Chinese people would tend to know more about the Chinese cultural revolution than most.
  13. Quickly sample the songs:
  14. Just because it's coming from Chinese people does not mean it's propaganda.
  15. I'm late this year looking at the songs. The Sweden song is fantastic. How can it lose?
  16. I've never seen any source completely dedicated to the connection before that CNN article about the talk in China. I'm not sure that I would label all the content in that article as propaganda. It's opinions. It's not a state position.
  17. Unfair or not, that has been my observation. I can't know the intention or even it's intentional at all, but to me it's been a very clear change. I have no reason to invent my observation either way. I had no bias either way when there was a business change here. Members can post any political content they want on Soapbox. You can say that I'm "wrong" but as it's my observation, there really isn't a right or wrong. Not looking for an argument here.
