I guess politics@kbin.social only allows the expression of Marxist sentiments. I have been banned from that magazine for allegedly promoting fascism. I did no such thing. I can only assume that the moderator of that magazine construes anything contrary to Marxist thought as fascist.

Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss was an inside job

There are numerous bombshells in the congressional testimony of two IRS whistleblowers, but the most significant is that members of Trump’s Department of Justice helped to tip the 2020 election to his opponent by slow-walking the investigation into Hunter Biden.

A New Eastern Mediterranean Strategic Matrix Is Evolving

Meanwhile, the political-economic collapse of Turkey can no longer be ignored by its former allies, who face a dilemma because they can’t make the case for a viable NATO—if NATO’s mission (a relic of the first Cold War) remains the containment of Russia—if Ankara is closer to Moscow than it is to Washington.

'The Focus Will Once Again Be More on Trump than Biden' | National Review
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-focus-will-once-again-be-more-on-trump-than-biden/

If the GOP nominates Trump, the race will be a referendum on Trump, instead of Biden. And yet, judging from the rest of the poll, at minimum half of the Republican Party is eager to make the 2024 general election yet another referendum on Trump.

You cannot save a political party that does not want to be saved.
