    Define irony. An army of bigots violently detaining and often killing immigrants and then pretending to worship an immigrant every Sunday (presumedly)

    Backwards ass motherfuckers.

      It’s all projection. They can’t square their self image with the reality so they project it onto other people to sooth the cognitive dissonance. They’re garbage people. Like in a deep, fundamental, way. They are bad at existing in a complicated world.

      It’s a trillion-dollar-plus oligarch-owned far right propaganda machine that is programming people to ignore rationality and critical thought in favor of fear, rage, hatred and prejudice.

      Propaganda works, and when you put enough money and power behind it, the overwhelming majority of us become suckers to it.

      If it were combined with a robust social contract, the rich could stay rich and we’d happily let them, but our billionaires have too much and are consumed by their own avarice and indifference, so they seek to rob even those of us on whom their wealth directly depends.

      Eventually, there will be nothing left for us to lose, and the Amazon warehouses will start burning.
