    That’s literally all he said? Are you fucking serious? He’s losing the show, everyone is losing their minds, and he’s being forced to donate to turning point USA over that!?

      He’s not forced to make a donation, but if he wants to maybe have a chance to keep the show, it’s heavily encouraged. I’d sooner kill myself before donating to those cunts. Being loaded and walking away from an irreparable relationship I think would be an easy choice, albeit one that should have to be made.

      Exactly when are y’all in America going to wake up to the fact you are living under Fascism? What will it take? The cancelling of the mid terms next year?

        When did we become fascist? Was it when Trump was first elected and stormed the capital with his Magtards.

        Maybe it was when Bush used Islamophobia and lies to attack Iraq.

        Perhaps it was when Regan deregulated the banking industry and stopped taxing the rich.

        I think it was when the US toppled 70+ Democratic countries and installed fascist dictators during the Cold War.

        Oh I know, it was the during red scare when the government purged all the leftists.

        No no, it was the civil war when we pit brother against brother in a war because the wealthy couldn’t decide who was in charge.

        Actually, it was the after the US and Mexico war when congressmen decided we couldn’t poison our blood by creating US states out of Mexico.

        I will bet it was when we broke treaty after treaty with the Native Americans engaging in the largest genocide in American history.

        Oh gosh, of course it was when we allowed the first standing army to exist!

        You can’t forget when the founding fathers used terrorism and propaganda to take control of the colonies for their financial benefit.

        Well gosh, it looks like we were always fascist fucks after all.

        For the majority of us, we aren’t going to ever wake up to it until it’s literally dragging their neighbors out of their houses for wrongthink. We have a terminal case of “it can’t happen here” and a media ecosystem entirely owned by billionaire right wingers. We’ll be gaslit into believing anyone speaking out is just exaggerating and fanning the flames of political violence.

        I have absolutely no faith whatsoever that we come out of this without first having to go through a God knows how long brutal dictatorship.

        I suspect there are some who will finally take things seriously when tv shows they like are affected

        Turning point USA is Kirks abomination that travels the country getting college students to become conservative.

          I’m aware of that Nazi recruitment group. I’m just amazed that Kimmel is being “forced to donate” to it.

            He’s not. They’re making it a condition though if he ever wants to come back or whatever.

            I’ll be really disappointed if he capitulates.
