The Trump regime is acting like a cornered animal: aggressive, panicked, snarling and biting.

This makes them dangerous. It does not, however, make them victorious. Be clear on the difference.

Hell yes! It means we are winning. As someone who's worked with victims of domestic abuse, I felt it so hard when Kamala Harris was saying "I know Donald Trump's type. I used to put people like him in prison." I did too with testimony. These people are all abusers of various kinds, and they are acting exactly as abusers act when accountability is near. Press on! We have them flailing!

@MaryAustinBooks
Yeah, abused behavior is key to understanding so much. Just disturbing how much this regime’s words ring with “If you tell I’ll hurt you.”

@inthehands They are rushing their agenda now because they know they will lose the House in November, and maybe the Senate. That makes them prone to making more mistakes.

@AAKL I take neither of those things for granted myself, but yes, they’re afraid of all that — and more broadly, they’re afraid that their power grab has outrun popular support and the clock is ticking. The MAGA Titanic is already sinking; the question is how very long it takes before it reaches the bottom of the ocean, and how many people it hurts on the way down.

[aakl@infosec.exchange]

@inthehands Yes. Biden interrupted their plans. In that way, he "stole" the election. They will fight tooth and nail before letting go this time, and more likely, they will have to be booted out en masse. But given that this is an unnatural state of affairs, it will come crashing down, sooner or later.

@inthehands @AAKL it's important not to take things like this for granted. Both times Trump won, a lot of folks took his impending loss for granted. I believe that hurt us both times.

@inthehands It will make them vicious, and if I’m getting killed, I’d rather it be for removing Reinhard Heydrich from the world than putting up leaflets criticizing the filth.
