    Trump never got a mugshot from his first indictment, but his campaign actually created one themselves to put on merchandise for fundraising.

    These fucking clowns think committing crimes and acting persecuted is a viable campaign strategy.

      It worked for Hitler, and the Republican Party seems to be taking straight from his playbook. (“Mein Kampf” means “my struggle” and was written in jail in ~1924 during his 5 years in prison for a failed coup attempt. Trump appears to be trying to speedrun the whole thing.)

      In order to stop Nazis you have to stop the ideology of fascism which is unfortunately sorta baked into America’s racist puritanical capitalist genocidal origins. Hitler even took notes from American Jim Crow policies and racist/poisonous border controls. We have to fight this colonialist abusive mindset at all levels, from uncles and stepdads and cops to CEOs, investors, and politicians.
