Courage is what we need

We’re not going to see any bravery from the Republican lickspittles. In private, they’re even admitting that they’re trembling in fear.

Senate and House Republicans know Trump will orchestrate the running of a primary challenger backed by Elon Musk’s unlimited resources if a member defies him. But this is not the whole story of Republican subservience to the president. In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions.

“They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,” a former member of Trump’s first administration tells me.

According to one source with direct knowledge of the events, North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about “credible death threats” when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary. Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm the former Fox & Friends host to lead the Pentagon. According to the source, Tillis has said that if people want to understand Trump, they should read the 2006 book Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work. (When asked for comment for this story, a spokesperson for Tillis said it was false that the senator had recommended the book in that capacity. The FBI said it had no comment.)

Wow. Keep in mind that these are the boomer children of what they called “the greatest generation,” the sons and daughters of people who marched off to risk their lives fighting the Nazis, and now they’re hiding in terror from the Nazis running the country. What are they, the “weakest generation”? Their fathers were shot at and shelled and living under desperate conditions to fight off the fascist threat, and these people are whining that they might have to run against a well-funded opposition candidate. Oooh. Scary.

You want to see courage? Here’s Chris Kluwe standing up in court to protest the Trump regime by stating the truth.


MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing. MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal. MAGA stands for firing military veterans and those serving them at the VA, including canceling research on veteran suicide. MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.

Watch how brave the cops are to attack and tackle a man who threatened peaceful civic disobedience, scrambling madly to get at him. I’m not clear on what he was arrested for, but they sure were quick to take him away.

It’s also ridiculous that the city was discussing putting up a truly absurd plaque in the city library that said, “Magical, Alluring, Galvanizing, Adventurous,” four words that I would never associate with “MAGA”.

If you watch the video above to the end, you’ll also learn that the public is getting fed up with Democratic cowardice, too. Primary them all.

    Poor republicans, trembling in fear of other, crazier republicans… so sad. So quit, get an actual job that doesn’t entail hurting other people. Quit being a republican, in other words. Being an asshole is a choice, you know.

  2. says

    Another nice touch: the NYT requested an interview with Kluwe. He turned them down because “They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in.”

  4. says

    “Actual job?” Like, how many of those will there be when the Trump Depression starts? (And yes, a former DOL economist has predicted that Mump’s “policies” will cause a recession, and not just in the DMV.)

  5. chrislawson says

    To be fair, they know what happened to the Brownshirts. On the other hand, they’re the new f***ing Brownshirts.

    This is what I’ve been warning people about. It is not about Trump’s outlandish statements and behaviors; those are attention getters; they help satisfy his ego. But they function more as distractions (LOOK! OVER THERE, SOMETHNG SHINEY!). It is the stuff he pulls off that we don’t know about and certainly he will not talk about in public. While everyone is watching and talking about him lowering the bar and/or ignoring the rules, he is manipulating powerful forces beyond anyone’s attention. He has had a lifetime of finding and grooming people to carry out these behind-the-scenes assaults. He understands the exact type of people he needs to fill the voids. Think of people who will carry out his mafia style tactics (an offer they can’t refuse). And if they refuse, the implication is they will be discarded, like last week’s trash, see the quote I used to open this post.

    Unfortunately for America and the world he now has those people encrusted throughout the government. He is continuing to cleanse the government roles and will replace them with his own Knights Templars. I know, I’m overreacting and preaching doom and gloom. The problem I’m having is I see no Knight is Shining Armour riding on a White Horse charging to the rescue. Chris Kluwe tried and look what happened.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if Putin already put the idea in Trump’s head that them as a team would make a formidable pair. They could own/rule the world. Trump has pretty much guaranteed the collapse of NATO. Elon would be along or the ride because he controls many of the communication satellites and would become a perishable commodity at some point. Probably accidently fall out of a high rise. The other issue is only one of them, either Trump or Putin, would be the only true dictator in the end. That is how these people work.

    My plan is to hope his BS catches up to him and his ilk before we are totally under his thumb. Not sure if the populace can figure it out before his Presidency crosses the Rubicon. Also, a conspiracy theory I harbor puts a damper on that. The access his people had to some of the voting machines since 2020. Can’t prove any knowledge they gained was used to swing the election, but I have a sliver of concern regarding that. Again, what we don’t know he is doing is the biggest threat. If they did manage to manipulate the vote, just enough to keep the result from too much scrunty, then elections going forward are out of the voters’ hands.

    I’m not quitting the fight but finding the right train to hitch a ride on would bring down my anxiety.

    PS: hope this ends before we are forced to become Christians. smiley face

    “Magical, Alluring, Galvanizing, Adventurous,” four words that I would never associate with “MAGA”.

    I misread that that as the text on the plaque. Maybe too snarky to be effective, but I would definitely get a chuckle out of that if I saw it hanging in a library or on a bumper sticker.

  10. PaulBC says

    It’s been obvious to me that a lot of powerful and influential people are a lot more afraid of Trump than I am. Maybe they just have more to lose. Maybe they are intrinsically without any values or backbone to speak of. I can’t believe how many tech executives gave million dollar bribes to the “inaugural fund.” I know it’s not much money to them, and I know they have no ethics to speak of, but I thought they had a little more self-respect. Also, the way diversity programs are collapsing is disgusting. These are successful initiatives, and that’s why Trumpies hate them. I know a lot of GOP politicians worship Trump (and called him “President Trump” for four years, perpetuating his 2020 election lie), but the extent to which he was treated as if he was already president right after the election by not just them but the supposedly “liberal” media was sickening to witness.

    It is true that most successful coups eventually wind up arresting and killing dissenters. Is there an exception? So maybe the fear is justified. But there would be less to fear if he could be stopped instead of enabled. This should have ended Jan. 6, 2021 if not before.

    Excuse the longish quotation, but I wanted to keep context.

    That’s one perspective.

    The other is, to be frank, how to not just survive, but thrive in a changed environment.
    How to adapt.

    I know you are making a moral judgement.

    But reality (nature, the universe) is not fussed about that sort of stuff.

    (Am I too oblique for ya?)

    —

    Point being, courage entails facing actual reality, and copping the worst in the hope one prevails.

    (You do know the etymology of the term, no?)

  12. PaulBC says

    John Morales@11

    The other is, to be frank, how to not just survive, but thrive in a changed environment.

    Right. “Compromise and be wise.” just like the Rogers and Hammerstein song that didn’t make it into the movie of Sound of Music. I do make moral judgments and I grew up with a moral education–in part because my parents played music (showtunes of all things) with lessons like “Don’t collaborate with Nazis.”

    I’m pretty sure that Alphabet (Google) would do just fine without their CEO sucking up to Trump at Mar-a-lago or paying a bribe. I know Zuckerberg has gone full MAGA due to his mid-life crisis, so Meta is somewhat of a special case, and that $25 million dollar “settlement” was offered to Trump with genuine affection. But I don’t think these are especially adaptive behaviors. Google can “curry favor” with the Trump administration and beg them not to take regulatory action, but Trump will just do whatever he pleases at the end of it. If you’re going to get crushed, you might as well stand for something in the process, and if you’re going play it for monetary gain, you still have to sleep with yourself at night. I thought being a billionaire meant you didn’t have to answer to a boss.

    I am personally powerless, though reasonably affluent. If I thought I was on their radar, I’d probably leave the country. In fact have some backup plans, but fortunately I’m nobody. Their best bet would be to weaponize the tax code against me. The fact that they’re in the process of reducing the IRS’s enforcement ability doesn’t mean I’m safe either. They just need to target their actions.

    I’m definitely staying aware, but I don’t see the gain in “thriving” in what this society is turning into. I do not want live in such a society at all.

    So, you are comparatively not much afraid of Trump, being a nobody.

  14. lotharloo says

    The last part is also very important. The Democratic Party needs to be rebuilt from ground up. Demand removal of all the bullshit “seniority” structure. The Democratic Party is the weakest opposition party I have ever seen.

    The original plaque features an eagle carrying two American flags

    Design Meeting: “One flag? You kidding? Everyone with an eagle has one flag! Our eagle will have two! In fact, let’s make it fourteen flags. Is there room for that?”

  17. raven says

    I’m going to point out the blindingly obvious here.

    Not showing courage or at least resolve isn’t necessarily going to make you any safer or more secure.

    The current fascists are at the stage where they are just throwing mud against the wall and seeing what sticks. Move fast and break things.
    They don’t care if they destroy the USA. That is, in fact, their entire plan right now.

    Everyone is frightened because we don’t know where this ends.
    We could end up like North Korea, a small ruling oligarchy living the good life, while everyone else are serfs living barely above poverty. During one of their recent famines, something like a million people died from starvation. Malnutrition is common.
    Or we could end up like their namesake, Nazi Germany. Concentration camps, millions dead in gas chambers, mass graves.
    Or the old USSR with their millions in the Gulag slave labor camps.

    What is for sure is that if no one stops them, there is no bottom to how far down the USA can go.

    You’ve all seen this many times.
    First the came for the Trans.

    Keep in mind that these are the boomer children of what they called “the greatest generation,” the sons and daughters of people who marched off to risk their lives fighting the Nazis, and now they’re hiding in terror from the Nazis running the country.

    I got a feeling that most Americans who went to that war were really hoping to shoot Japanese folks rather than wholesome, white Germans. The “Greatest Generation” didn’t give too shits about fighting fascism–that was dirty commie stuff–and they certainly didn’t give two-shits about those being slaughtered in the camps. They just had to fight Hitler because they declared war on the US after we declared war on Japan.

    It’s time we faced facts just what unredeemable piles of shit most of our fellow Americans truly are.

  20. John Watts says

    Years ago, when I was in the military, I talked to an elderly German man over beer and shots. Drinking is about the only situation when you will get honest dialogue from Germans of that generation. When he was fairly loaded, he said he’s been a Brownshirt in his youth. It became a sport for them to identify anti-Nazis and then beat the shit out of them. One tactic was to go to a Gasthaus in street clothes and listen in on conversations at nearby tables. When they identified anyone critical of Hitler, they’d wait until he left the tavern and then ambush him. It was always something like three or four against one. They’d beat him to within an inch of his life and sent him to the hospital. This old guy laughed when he reminisced over it. He didn’t feel an ounce of remorse over his actions. In his heart he was still a Nazi.

  21. birgerjohansson says

    Msube ask some of those millionaires who -occasionally- donate money to good causes to set up a fund financing bodyguards for senators who fear the brownshirts. After all, mobsters who testify get new identities, if some of these @☆#¤ assholes have a change of heart, they should be encouraged to stop the destruction of the country without risk of being murdered.
    And it must be financed from outside the federal govenment, Trump was prepared to let his own VP get lynched.

    Here’s hoping.. Ideal scenario :

    Michael Moore, Feb 14, 2025
    Overwhelm… Overreach… Overthrown.

    HOW TRUMP IS COOKING HIS OWN GOOSE.

    Nobody, especially Trump, knows it yet.

    His fate, his downfall, and his doom is, as we speak, being set in stone. And considering the roll he is on, few will believe what I am writing here. Just as well. Best not to believe or repeat what I’m telling you. Fortunately, Trump is so full of himself and too stupid to see what he is doing to his sweet victory. He will continue to do what he’s doing — shock and awe, slash and burn, rape and pillage, a collective cattle-prod to us all — because he believes he is seriously wounding what he considers to be the “enemy from within.” You and me. But what he is actually doing, and what he doesn’t understand, is that with every drop of blood he takes from the collective liberal American soul, he is carving out a pound of his own flesh, large self-inflicted wounds, many times each day, every day, right now, at such a breathtaking pace. He is incapable of moderation — “I must not let up!” “I CANNOT LET UP!” — even though he is digging the graves of perhaps hundreds of thousands of Americans as Gravedigger-in-Chief (with his Mad Enabler, the new Secretary of “Health,” who has guaranteed there will be no vaccines available for the massive and deadly bird flu that may be on its way — over 150 million chickens in the US have already been euthanized). He will, in his own fevered mind, not be interrupted. He will be cheered on by his sociopathic handlers and his sad and frightened MAGA Nation followers who know deep in their bones that they have so little time left before the Orange Man’s reign comes to a screeching end. Trump does not even understand how he is creating his own ultimate doom.

    I’ve debated whether or not I should be writing this, first because I want to see no harm come to a single individual anywhere on this planet. But I also know, as do all of you, the awful truth that in these early weeks, in the very short term, we hold little or no power in our hands to put a stop to him immediately. But that doesn’t mean we should not be using all parts of the apparatus to do exactly that. Yes, I worry that he will find out too soon that he has cast the die and has sealed his own bitter fate. For he has committed the Original Sin of the megalomaniacal and the malignant Super Narcissists: He thinks he is King. He believes he has the powers of God. He has already said there will not be a need for another election. He means it.
    So perhaps it’s best that the Trumpsters don’t know yet that the jig is up. Actually, they’re so high right now, they will never believe that Trump has lit the fuse to their demise — even if I showed them the physical evidence of Trump himself with the match in his hand.

    It has only taken him three simple moves since Inauguration Day to get to this heady place. You have all been a witness to it. I know, it has not been easy to watch. Painful, in fact. Every day since January 20th has been filled with numerous sick and cruel actions as Trump and his henchmen have been furiously trying to dismantle our government, blow up our Democracy and crush our spirit.

    They have already mostly succeeded on that last point, sensitive souls that we liberals are! We’ve never met a defeat we weren’t sure, in advance, would be handed to our sorry, sniveling, woe-is-me defeatist ass. Only a group like us would let a lame Party, which calls itself “Democratic,” time after innumerable time, snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Future historians will never understand us.

    Here are Trump’s three mistakes he’s made in creating his own demise:

    Overwhelm.

    Trump knew that, in order to pull off his coup, he would have to act fast and without mercy in order to catch the country off guard with a massive assault of illegal proclamations, firings, crazed appointments, attempts to rewrite the Constitution and the use of armed goons to round up the “illegal” Brown and Black people of this country — and to try and arrest those who impeached and indicted him! This vengeance and retribution tear he is on is unlike anything the country has ever seen. His hand-picked Supreme Court has ruled he has the legal right to break any and every law he desires. And so when a psychopath is given unlimited power to commit harm — and soon, perhaps, death — he will act like a rabid animal and seek the blood and the destruction he believes is rightfully his. No one dares get in his way. Liberals, Independents, Democrats are all paralyzed, unable to fight back. Few believed this would actually happen. And nobody has put together a plan to prepare for the onslaught. Everyone in the opposition is in a daze, their/our heads spinning, confused, disoriented, gobsmacked…
    OVERWHELMED. Overwhelmed with a sickening sense of dread. Overwhelmed with no one to turn to. Nowhere to hide. Nowhere to run. Filled with fear, your heart ready to explode. You try to calm down, to breathe, but you are feeling physically choked, can’t breathe, “why are the uniformed men pulling that family next door out of their home?!”

    “Why did my child have to witness three classmates hauled out of school in chains?”

    “I AM SO OVERWHELMED I CAN’T THINK STRAIGHT! WHAT DO WE DO? HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US! I CAN’T BREATHE!!!”

    Overreach.

    A President out of control has now upset the millions of people who didn’t vote for him. He is happy about that. My guess is that he is just a little bit too happy. He has convinced himself that he won in a “landslide.” He has called it “the most epic political victory our country has ever seen.” Both of those claims are false. He won by a miniscule 1.5% over Kamala Harris, one of the smallest percentage presidential wins ever. Only 2.2 million votes separated the two candidates. Back in 2020, Biden beat Trump by over 7 million votes! In November, Trump couldn’t even get 50% of the vote in his victory. We can call it an anemic win, but it gave him all three branches of government to rule with — and he is hell-bent on ruling with might and brute force.

    But I am convinced that it will not be long before this wannabe dictator overplays his hand. Trust me, there is a point where the citizenry will have seen enough. George W. Bush had a 70% approval rating after he invaded Iraq. 70% of the country supported his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Things looked bleak. But within 2 years, and after a narrow re-election win, the voters turned on him — and in the 2006 midterms, the voters took the House and Senate away from him. I believe Trump’s Overreach will face a massive backlash, even from some of his own voters. The day will come where he will have insulted enough law enforcement officers and first responders just one too many times. The day will come after his hundreds of insults hurled at the men and women in the armed forces, including those whom he calls “suckers and losers,” — the dead on the battlefield — where the volunteer members of the military and their families will have had enough.

    I can’t predict what the topic will be or at what moment the majority of the country will turn on him, but I believe his Overreach will do him in. I know many of you don’t believe that because so many millions in November said that Trump is exactly what they wanted, but I’m going to go with my belief that there is such a thing as a bridge too far for most people. We won’t know until it happens. Will it be him throwing the nation back into record inflation thanks to his unnecessary trade war with its insane tariffs? Will it be his continuing disrespect of women, all women, and which of their rights he next plans to extinguish? Will it be when he debases for the last time our veterans, the FBI or the Catholic Church, or simply his giving the finger to the Rule of Law? I don’t know. But I do know most of you hope I’m right.

    Overthrown.

    And when that day arrives, it will be then that Trump will realize he may have gone too far. A big clue to his awakening might be when he sees the Joint Chiefs of Staff entering the White House with armed MPs and officers of the court. “Oops,” his miniaturized brain will say to itself. “Uhh, these guys look like they mean business. Somebody call Roy Cohn!”

    The Supreme Court did issue a pretty iron-clad Get Out of Jail card for Trump last year, but they are only one-third of the government. Our military, which has already stood up to Trump in his first term, is that one part of the Executive Branch full of serious thinkers, women, Black Americans, Muslims and the occasional General with a PhD in Philosophy. The days of the Vietnam War and Colin Powell being ordered to lie to the U.N. about non-existent weapons of mass destruction in Iraq are over. The Generals these days have not been afraid to call Trump a fascist. And the United States Congress — the Senate and the House together — they write the laws, and they hold the purse. In other words, their one-third of the government holds a fuckload of power. And there are ways and means in both Houses of Congress where the minority party can throw up massive roadblocks to mitigate the damage that the majority party lusts for. So this is not “game over.” In fact, the Republicans have not even begun to see what we plan to do. They will rue the day they took us for granted. Maybe it has worked in our favor to look like a bunch of weenies. Because right now the MAGA-heads have let their guard down. We are the TRUE fighters. It is the liberals and progressives that have won all the big fights throughout American history. We won the Civil War. We got women the vote. FDR (and the Soviet Union — 25 million dead) won WWII.

    Civil Rights. Gay Rights. Labor Rights. Again, the big battles have all been won by us. The losers? Slaveowners. Bigots. Homophobes. Nazis. Segregationists. Anti-Education Teacher-Haters. Union-busters. Child-labor Enthusiasts. Anyone who has tried to force us to say a prayer, to go to church, to salute a flag, to post the 10 Commandments, cut our hair, wear our skirt below the knee, get on our knees and bow to authority, “Every house in zee neighborhood must be painted white!” — this and so many other things have been met with historic and epic resistance. What is it that we say? Oh yeah, “THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY!” We learn that by the time we’re 5! Autocracy has always felt like poison. And yes, even now the majority of our people will not be force fed a meal of conformity, cruelty, obedience and apathy. Those who were Overwhelmed at first, those who know an Overreach when they see one… NO King is going to be allowed to overplay his hand. We don’t know how this will happen, but we should know how this will end. We’ve seen far lesser men — and far stronger men — brought down in humiliating defeat, crumbling under the weight of what we still call Democracy.

    We are lucky to be living in a moment where we get to be witnesses once again to the power of the people.
    What if I, and a whole bunch of others are, right now, devising a plan for all of us to Take America Back Again.

    I’m up for it. How about you?

    @21. birgerjohansson : “.. it must be financed from outside the federal govenment, Trump was prepared to let his own VP get lynched.”

    Prepared? Trump actively tried to get his VP Pence lynched and incited a mob to do it and sat back watching almost certainly with sadistic glee hoping to watch his cultuists using that gallows they brought with them on Jan 6th. In a rational, decent country that would have got him jailed for life as well as permanently ending his political career.

  25. StevoR says

    One note of caution tho – I do fear that Trump is deliberately trying to provoke violence to use as a crackdown and usher in even less restrained repression and brutality and actual executions and likely more open and hot civil war.

    The Repugs have been preparing for Civil War for a long time. They want it. But if it does happen and it now looks like ther emay not be much choice the Democratic side; the actually patriotic, actually upholding the best of Americans values side – the Statute of Liberty’s torch side as opposed to the Tiki torch side now has to be be prepared to fight it without pulling punches and win it and when you do, you need to drive a stake through the metaphorical heart of the South this time and do NOT ever let them rise again. DoNOT ever let that worst aspects and culture of Amnercia side ever get its way again and make sure nobody like Trump can ever try and take over the USA again..

    I do NOT think Trump’s regime should be allowed to last mor ethan a very small fractionof its scheduled term.
