    I like to pretend it’s a 5D chess long con (it’s not, but pretending is fun). It’s much easier to scoop off the scum when it floats to the top, and trump got a whole bunch of them to take the mask off so they can be arrested for treason.

    Similarly it’s fun to pretend Apartheid Clyde went full fascist so that neonazis would replace their coal rollers with low-poly 90s video game pedestrian crushers to own the libs.

        A phrase that refers to someone being openly fascist/nazi rather than trying to hide their true intentions.

        Mask-on: Bush era GOP or current European far right.

        Mask-off: DeSantis

            It implies the number of opponents isn’t changing, in a thread about how they increase in number.

            Taking the mask off isn’t always a good sign. Sometimes it means the hate is being normalized.
