Fun facts about Henry Ford (or as the Nazis called him, Heinrich Ford), who Trump just weirdly praised as having "good blood."

He popularized, worldwide, the anti-semetic conspiracy theory that inspired Nazis. They awarded him medals and Hitler had his portrait in his office.
Trump has believed, for his entire life, in talents flowing through bloodlines, a very, very Nazi-ish philosophy. Talking about bloodlines in reference to Ford is an...odd coincidence.

I'm not saying Trump knew what he was doing, but chances are he knew exactly what he was doing
Hitler told an American newspaper he believed Henry Ford would make an amazing fascist president and signaled his intention and desire to send Nazi stormtroops to make that a reality.

The conspiracy theory Hitler used for power was Ford's doing. A direct line between them.

Glad the President of the United States is taking care of the big problems. Like dealing with social media companies checking his baseless and slanderous claims instead of, you know, a generational pandemic that’s already killed a hundred thousand people.
What an embarrassment Trump is. What a thin-skinned, insecure, desperately shallow, broken shell of a man. Just the absolute worst possible president at the absolute worst possible time.
God. What a disgusting farce all this is.

100,000 dead.

Just an unbelievable tragedy, and the heartbreaking thing is that we know Trump has no intention to save lives or prevent future loss.

It's time to face facts and act accordingly: America is a failing state.

The anger and sadness you feel is the realization is failing as a nation and that generations' worth of mistakes and manipulation have laid the groundwork for this whole thing to collapse.

We should be angry. We should be sad. The nation is failing us in a major, major way.
For years now people in denial have labeled people like us who recognized the crisis as alarmists. Unfortunately, the crisis is very real and is playing out before us with murderous consequences.

Recognize it. See it. Fight against this thing while we still can.

The problem isn't that Twitter is adding tags to Trump's tweets.

The problem is that Twitter's business is directly engineered to profit off of Trump's harassment, dysfunction, and cruelty.

The problem is that our economy explicitly rewards people detrimental to society.
The problem is hypercapitalism rewards people and businesses who act completely out of destructive self-interest.

This is no way to create a decent, human, and fair world and ensures division and needless suffering.

Trump is just the embodiment of that.
The problem is that the President of the United States can get on a platform, spew conspiracy theories, baseless accusations of crime and corruption, and the platform benefits and he inherently benefits by overpowering the news cycle.

All of this is built to fail.
