The strategy I used to get the bigots & terrorists scraped off Reddit was to go Karen & demand to speak to the manager about all of their bullshit.
Now, the "manager" is The American People.
We need a way to make the BS of Trump & Co into pain points for Americans
Trump may already be doing that

You could not pay me any quantity of money to be the Chair of the Kissinger School of Statecraft.
If I ever did, may Anthony Bourdain descend from Heaven to beat me to death with my own shoes
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Kissinger's thesis paper is known for two things:
Inspiring a rule about the maximum length of theses;
Being an extremely prolix rephrasing of "If they can't retaliate, and neither does anyone else, whatever you do to them is justiifed"
AKA sociopathy
Cinderella Mechanicus (@hroethgar.bsky.social):
I look forward to the day - although given the degree to which the US is in the thrall of Kissinger not during my lifetime - when it is well-accepted that his "realpolitik" advice mostly just massively backfired time after time.

The hatred of Trans people & Muslims that the MAGA crowd promotes isn't just fear & loathing — it's a calculated political motivation tool. People are motivated to vote (or stay away from voting) when they're angry (and afraid).
And they're running the Weimar Germany playbook.

Re-intro:
Much like how @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social says that "Everything is TB" (his new book drops in 1 week), I say "Everything is T_D" — the /r/the_donald subreddit, a hive of scum and villainy, explains US politics.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
/r/the_donald was simultaneously a genuine expression of a segment of US political sentiment (angry, bitter, aimless young men) and a massive propaganda astroturf operation (they were in a conspiracy with white supremacists to take over Reddit through terrorism at one point)
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The team of subreddit operators included Milo Yiannopoulos while he was connected to the Mercers & the Proud Boys, neoNazis, etc and the content posted to the subreddit was overwhelmingly white supremacist, misogynist, and LGBTQ-phobic (also: violent)
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
They coordinated and promoted the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally which became a neoNazi race riot with a body count; they amplified every politics of hatred and fear.
And everything they demanded from Trump in his first term is on the table as a deliverable in his second term.
