People who don’t mainline political news genuinely don’t get this.
It’s literally Big Brother. This is a surveillance state telling you how to do everything.
Which means they have a bullet with my name on it.
Better than living with so much cringe the rest of my life.
And autism is supposed to be socially awkward.
Imagine having such a fragile ego you need to remind people you have the power not them. The power to what? Shoot us? That doesn’t give you power, that just makes you evil.
I find it ironic that there’s a reply about people who don’t read it not getting 1984 as a reply to this. The surveillance is a minor part of 1984. It’s largely about them controlling thought. They control language and the media to make it almost impossible to speak against them. “Big Brother” is the meme that gets repeated (I think because it was the only part that fit conservative thought, so they made that what 1984 is instead of it being against them), but it isn’t the important lesson to be taken from it.
Fair point - these were 2 separate thoughts. First, Big Brother is the face scowling down at us all, right out of the book. Second, that the US is right now a surveillance state and this is one of the more visible aspects of the virtue signaling and telling people to love the Great Leader.
Those people have also not read 1984 and either won’t get the reference or think it’s a reality show reference
ny first thought was Mussolini
Mussolini, Mussolini on the wall, who trains run the most on time of all?
Easy, Switzerland!
What do I win? Not being shot? Yay!
This is literally Palazzo Braschi in 1930s Italy.
Can we skip ahead to the part with the gas station?
Time for train stations and piano wire
woah spoiler alert! some people wanna see how this fascism thing is gonna go first
cartoonishly evil
If this was any other president the right would be losing it.
Any other Democratic president.
That looks like FREEDOM to Me!
-Someone who Lives in a State where you CANT paint Sidewalks and CANT speak after 10PM and CANT read Books with Rainbows in them!
CANT speak after 10PM
Im not aware of this one.
We’re not exaggerating. SB 2972 would require public universities in Texas to adopt policies prohibiting “engaging in expressive activities on campus between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.” Expressive activity includes “any speech or expressive conduct” protected by the First Amendment or Texas Constitution.
i believe he could be referring to texas allegedly trying to ban “expressing yourself” on colleges after 10pm.
Well that’s an obvious protest right there. Having a trumpet shit rally, and end it at exactly 10:00 p.m.
Who is protesting in the middle of the night anyway?
It’s not allegedly, they signed it into law.
This article was published on June 5. Since then, Gov. Greg Abbott has signed Senate Bill 2972 into law. It will take effect Sept. 1.
I’m genuinely curious if students at colleges in Texas mass mobilize. What happens when the majority of colleges’ student bodies are arrested and taken off campus? Is that a significant enough shock to tame these god damn fascists?
Maga hats probably look at that and feel good. Their in-group is strong and winning. That’s all that matters to them.
Stupid is as stupid does.
also the fact the news doesnt report things “arnt going wrong” under trump.
These memes are getting awfully heavy
1984 was a hell of a year
But don’t worry guys, the files will ruin him lmao

I hate that this is true.
this really isn’t going to be the thing that convinces them. ya’ll need to realize that the cult LIKES this
idk trumps approval ratings are sinking pretty fast
https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-trackerI really don’t think approval ratings effect reality. his core people are people who don’t really engage with all that
I have not the first doubt in my mind that somebody has jacked off to the idea of how upset somebody else’s about this.
you know that’s the point. really gotta stop giving them reaction porn that motivates it all. remember all those tiktoks with the corny teehee guys just filming themselves wearing their diddler hats in public, mugging at the camera because they’re triggin’ da libz? I always thought fascism would be ushered in by people a little more serious but reality is disappointing.
Fascists have always been this stupid.
They just did not have social media share their stupidity in the past.
Y’all
When you are that ugly, you’d think you wouldn’t want your mug all over the place reminding people you look like a sack of spoiled mayo spray tanned orange and stuffed into a bad suit.
Peak manliness right there according to the MAGAt moron brigade. Peak. Lol looks like he’s shitting himself in that picture.
So fucking pathetic.
Kudos to the photographer. That pic is dystopian AF.
I’m sure the photographer would point out they literally just photographed reality. It’s reality that’s dystopian
No argument there; I guess I was aiming my compliment more towards the framing and composition of the pic, not so much the subject.
All they need is a symbol of some sort plastered everywhere and America will officially hit Nazi Germany level
Reminds me, go look for your favorite porn videos. They gone.
My favorite porn videos aren’t hosted in the US or Europe.
We’re building it up
Just to break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait to burn it to the ground
This is so pathetic.
This is North Korean levels of cringe.
Well USA created North Korea so no surprise here.
American doing Americanism Americanly
Damn, reminds me of Evil Foreign Country Full of Bad Foreigners.
American presidents have never been dictators before, at least not in the US itself. They support dictators and overthrow legitimately elected governments but not at home.
American presidents have never been dictators before
I mean, tell that to Andrew Jackson. Or William McKinley. Or Jefferson Davis. However you square it, the Confederacy at least was an undeniable dictatorship that controlled half the country.
Even outside the Civil War, the Presidency has been an imperial office. American presidents have a well-defined line of succession and a party mechanism to guarantee the position of ex-presidents within the plutocracy once they leave office. But we’ve had plenty of periods in which a single party dominated the White House and governed at the head of a completely subservient legislature.
The period from Jackson to Taylor was indistinguishable from any military dictatorship you’d find in 20th century Europe or Latin America. The era from Hayes to Eisenhower was functionally an armed occupation, from the perspective of any African-American or Latin American or East Asian migrant.
This guy histories. 🤌🏼
