“Trump White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt drew fierce blowback on Thursday for what was slammed as an “insane” and “vile” hot take on the Democratic Party.
Leavitt was asked on Fox News for the White House’s reaction to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s (D) refusal to say whether he thinks Hamas should disarm in Gaza.
She spun her answer into a wider attack on Democrats, claiming the interview proved the party’s “main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals.”
“That is who the Democrat Party is catering to,” she added. “Not the Trump administration and not the White House and not the Republican Party, who is standing up for law-abiding Americans, not just across the country but around the world.”

And she did it with a gleeful smile, barely containing her excitement. It is bonkers.

They’re very close to their ultimate goal…
Labeling the entire democratic party a terrorist organization.
“The democrats are the party of hate, evil and Satan” – Donald Trump
“The democratic party’s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals.” – Karoline Leavitt

What is the point of this backlash? Was she forced to resign? Fired? Arrested? What happened to her?
NOTHING. She might even get praised and a promotion.

No taxation without representation. I will be withholding my taxes from this administration and donating them to causes that are important to me as a form of protest [I.e., national parks and food banks in low-income communities]. I will also be submitting a protest letter along with my tax forms to explain why I am resisting taxes.
Tax resistance is an effective form of protest that defunds the Trump administration. The more people who resist taxation as a form of protest, the harder the administration is hit.
Our protests are being ignored. The money from our paychecks are directly landing in Trump and MAGA’s pockets. It’s time to hit them where it actually hurts.
More information here on the Wikipedia page and a step-by-step guide:
Post-Kirk is a different era. There will be no attempt to speak of non-MAGA as anything other than a threat to their vision of America. What’s said by Leavitt, Miller, Trump, Vance, or anyone in that orbit simply isn’t worth the engagement. Protest is the answer. Perhaps there is still an opportunity with the remnants of the democracy for a course correction at the polls. And ultimately this is up to the people to change.
And let’s realize the protests are such a threat to their power that the rhetoric and reaction will increase as protests increase. I see this as I see someone who is scared of No Kings and is trying to paint a picture so their base doesn’t fracture. She’s not clear. She’s not decisive. She’s afraid.

Backlash on line is not going to stop fascists from doing fascism.
See you all at the protests tomorrow.

Most Republicans are good people…
Then why are so many still supporting the Trump administration?

Remember attending a talk by Paul Rusesabagina (Hotel Rwanda) a few years back, this was the kind of talk from the government & media (radio) about the Tutsis just before the killings began.

“In another pivotal step in the transformation of German society from a democracy to a dictatorship, the Nazi leadership passed the Law against the Founding of New Parties. With this law, passed on July 14, 1933, all other political entities were disbanded or dissolved…
Germany became a one-party dictatorship led by National Socialists, whom the law made the only legitimate political party in the country…”
This is not simply ‘incredibly dangerous’. It’s an outright incitement to violence.
She’s really hoping someone kills Mamdani and she’s not exactly subtle about it.

Since she did it with a smirk on her face, I have to assume this one is “mission accomplished”.

It’s so crazy that progressive taxation, universal public spaces, basic regulatory guardrails, and inclusive national identity is being called terrorism. I just want people in the country to be able to live their lives and get some help if they fall on hard times.
