My top 10 list of recent republican fascists/proto-fascists endangering our democray.

1. trump, TSF himself. No one does it better as he seeks you know whose approval.

2.The SCOTUS 6, IMO one unit, corrupt as all hell and craven too for giving TSF immunity.

3. Musk, whose money bought TSF the '24 election (and BTW didn't know WTF he was doing with all the DOGE firings and damage. Even trump had to show him the door.

4. Vance, the sidekick who's going-along-to-get-along-feint is only there to mask his itch to invoke the 25 Amendment.

5. Rubio, the one and only Lil' Mario whose memory of who nicknamed him is apparently very short and his stand on principles even shorter as they are the same as trump tells him they are.

6. RFK Jr., brain worm from bear steaks is eating away his mind and the HHS mission to protect the nation's health.

7. Kristi Noem, the dog killer who wants to deport as many immigrants AND NOW AMERICANS too as fast as possible with no due process. That's the ticket.

8.Manchin, the creep who kept snatching the football away from Dems agenda at the last minute like Lucy does the ball from Charlie Brown.

9. Sinema, the tutu wearing phony who worked hand-in-hand with Manchin to foil Dem's legislation like clockwork orange a-hole...oops, that's a whole other list...or is it? She helped make TSF possible.

10. Comey, we haven't forgotten what you did to Hillary with that last minute hoodoo of making public the misinformation on Anthony Wiener's laptop that you had to withdraw just before the '16 election because it was misinformation...damage was already done though,as intended.

You're all welcome to add, subtract, change the order, add comments or whatever. Have at it.

Absolutely, he should be on the list. How did I forget him? brush Jul 2025 #2
Manchin, Sinema & Comey don't belong on a list like that. They are harmless at this point. So's McConnell. Wiz Imp Jul 2025 #3
I agree and disagreed. Stephen Miller, Pam Bondi & Mike Johnson belong for sure.... brush Jul 2025 #5

Mitch "they'll get over it" McConnell.

This amoral asshole is retiring. What's the big deal? He could have voted against trump's bill with no concerns about getting primaried, which seems to be what they're all afraid of.

Eff him.

They have no connection to Government any more. They are not endangering Democracy or anything. They may have done some damage in the past but not any more so it is flat out ridiculous to say they are currently "endangering" democracy. If you insist on keeping them on your list, then your title is completely inappropriate.

What you titled your list was people who are ENDANGERING democracy, which is a present tense verb, meaning people who are doing bad things NOW not somebody who did something bad in the past.

Jul 2025

1. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi - the wingus and dingus of the FBI and DOJ are doing their best to stall and obstruct any meaningful progress and are actively doing Trump's dirty work.

2. Sean Hannity - Trump's professional 24/7 ass kissing mouthpiece who hosts a continuously operating Trump infomercial. If Trump were the Joker, Hannity would be his Harley Quinn.

3. Alex Jones - the alpha male more manly than you conspiracy theorist podcast host who abused child victims of needless murder by saying they were "crisis actors".

4. Elon Musk - The Tesla and Space X CEO who's also Twitter's biggest shit poster and bought the platform to promote hate and white supremacy, monetized and weaponized trolls like libsoftiktok, Tucker Carlson, and Catturd, used his connection with Trump to destroy entire government agencies from within to enrich his coffers.

5. Tom Homan - The former Heritage Foundation employee who heads ICE and turned that agency into basically a giant Call Of Duty "get the immigrants" operation.

6. Kevin Roberts - The Heritage Foundation chairman who cowrote Project 2025 along with many of Trump's highly illegal executive orders.

7. Ryan Walters - The Fox News employee who was installed as Oklahoma's state superintendent, took Oklahoma to nearly LAST in the nation. Hawk's Trump's policies 24/7 and used his position to mandate that Trump brand Bibles be taught in schools, and is also mandating that Oklahoma high school students learn about "discrepancies" in the 2020 election.

8. Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick - The unholy trinity of psychopaths running the Lone Start State used their position to help build Trump's insane border wall and installed illegal barbed wire booby traps in the Rio Grande River.

9. Steve Bannon - the architect of the Trump administration who figured that if you put a face to populist talking points you will win every single time.

10. Nancy Mace - the professional social media troll currently serving as SC representative who uses her position to troll the LGBT community and especially the trans community daily.

11. Marjorie Taylor Greene - The Georgia Congresswoman and major conspiracy theorist who is a professional 24/7 Trump mouthpiece and may have been one of the architects of January 6th.

per Wikipedia, he is known for publishing a far right manifesto argiung for dissolving representative democracy and replacing it with a technology-based oligarchy

In October 2023, Andreessen published a "Techno-Optimist Manifesto" arguing that civilization is built on technology and that "Technology is the glory of human ambition and achievement, the spearhead of progress, and the realization of our potential."[47] He has also described himself as a "tescrealist".[48]
