I don’t often recommend a #podcast, but this episode of #ItCouldHappenHere is exceptional. It’s a deep dive into the roll of Christian evangelicals in #Texas politics, and how its tentacles creep into all aspects of national and even international affairs. A must-listen for sure.
@indigenous_commentator I don’t watch TV, so I didn’t see any of it. I don’t need to. I’d vote for a hamster if it meant keeping Chump out of there. Consider it harm reduction.
Nothing #weird about a presidential candidate saying he’ll move to Venezuela if he loses the election, nope nope nope. Very normal and genius behavior using all the best words, bigly.
A lavishly-funded, openly fascist group like the Heritage Foundation isn’t going to just suddenly drop it. This is the Right’s playbook for decades to come. Dozens of authors didn’t spend thousands of hours writing this white nationalist war strategy for a single passing chance at one election. This is the Republican Party’s bible now, and Democrats need to beat them over the heads with it and end all this talk about “working together” with fascists.
I don’t think a polished, 900-page fascist playbook written by dozens of contributors is going to simply go away after 2025 comes and goes. #project2025
Here’s an important bit of #history that no one should miss:
Right up until the U.S. entered WWII, there were loads of Nazi-fanboy fascists here. The thing is, after the war, they didn’t go anywhere... they were always here; they just got real quiet for a few decades, waiting for a time they would feel safe to come out of hiding again. That time is now, their methods are masked behind folksy-sounding groups like “The Heritage Foundation”, and Chump is their Hitler.
Crazy how shining a light on anything Republicans want to do causes them to deny it, distance themselves from it, and act like they know nothing about it... as if everything they want to do just completely sucks.
Now that another disastrous #SCOTUS session has ended, #ClarenceFuckingThomas will no doubt be hitting the road in his billionaire-purchased RV. Here’s what it looks like... you know, just in case.
This probably should have been done after the 2016 election, but since nothing has changed since then...
The Democratic Party needs to be demolished down to the bedrock and rebuilt, or we need a new party to the left of them. This neoliberal misadventure and enduring Clinton-era establishment has reached its inevitable dead end. There is no talent there worth salvaging; it’s just decades of unforced errors, seemingly purposeful losing, and betrayal to the working class.
Alito isn’t going to be held to any standards. Same with Thomas. They’re going to do whatever the hell their traitorous asses feel like doing, and you’re just going to sit there and take it. No one’s going to protest because no one cares.
This is real failed state stuff. Calling this a kangaroo court would be an insult to kangaroos. Why does anyone continue to believe in this? (Somewhat dated article)
Husband and dad, from a different timeline. Career #railroad. Ashamed #Montana native. Big on #solar and (non-Tesla!!!) #evs. Proudly, aggressively anti-fascist. #Microblogging since 2005. I write a lot about #USpol and #MTpol, and therefore I swear a lot. The entirety of the Democratic Party is to the right of me and millions of other Americans. I can’t believe I have to specify this, but all toots are my own thoughts and opinions, not my employer’s. Who would even think that?
