He belongs in prison, he’s a monster, but there is a part of me grateful to him for throwing away all the dog whistles Republicans had been cultivating for decades and removing the ambiguity that allowed them to spew their venom in polite society.
I’ve been talking about what a danger the Republican party is, and what they actually want through their dogwhistles since Bill Clinton was President, to eyerolls of friends and family. I wrote papers about the dangers of the Federalist society and an unchecked SCOTUS in college only to be met with professor’s notes that I “lacked essential respect” for esteemed and “apolitical” institutions, lol, so virtuous they are beyond reproach. Not to mention feeling like I was taking crazy pills in the face of indifference to the slow moving cataclysm for our species that is climate change. How bout this heat?
I’m not happy that time has proven me correct, but I am vindicated. It was always about greed appealing to and manipulating America’s most abundant resource, hatred, to take control of our institutions for short term profit, the social framework and even our shared sole habitat be damned.
Damn, that’s good writing. And similar to my experience. And I’m sure many others’. I think it drives me the most crazy that you’re not allowed to talk about these issues so often because “politics” upset people. Facts are “politics” now and lies are “the truth”. 🤯
Good news is we don’t need a single maga idiot to to leave the cult to win. We just need Democrats to show up and some independent apathetic swing-voters to stay engaged.
Bad news is there aren’t good signs of that right now…
Yup while sane, rational thinking people look at it and notice the obvious shit ideas it’s riddled with that will quickly lead to the downfall of the nation and increase the progress for the destruction of the world, brainwashed conservatives look at it like bible 2.0.
Will not sway maga idiots. They WANT all of it
The cruelty has always been the point.

Welcome to the party, pals.

I think the goal is to energize voters that don’t know about and are super over having two ancient old white men in charge.
I am too, but the DNC will clearly cause less acute damage than the GOP.

According to the propaganda machine.
The goal is to sway the centrists. The MAGAS will always be the dumb.
