Greene Warns MAGA Base Epstein File Backlash Will Hurt GOP in 2026 Midterms Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a stark warning to the MAGA base she once energized, saying its response to the long-anticipated release of Jeffrey Epstein files could damage Republican prospects in ...

The next test will be whether GOP leaders adjust tactics to broaden appeal or double down on base-focused messaging as they prepare for November’s contests.

social media, highlighting her belief that tone and focus matter for the GOP’s electoral viability.

This tension matters because it reflects deeper fractures within the Republican coalition over strategy, messaging, and priorities ahead of a pivotal election cycle.

Israel Has Incinerated Human Beings So They Can Build Waterfront Condos and Skyscrapers The only way systems of large-scale violence survive public scrutiny is by teaching people to see them in fragments.

Once that belief becomes normalized, the question is no longer whether extreme force will be used again.

The question becomes who will be reclassified as a legitimate target next.

The most dangerous shift is not technological, but psychological. It is the moment when societies begin to believe that extreme violence is sometimes necessary for stability.

None of this means battlefield weapons will be deployed wholesale inside American cities. But it does mean that societies that normalize extreme state violence abroad often normalize increasingly aggressive forms of state control at home.

The existence of extreme weapons technologies forces a larger moral question: why does any society believe it needs weapons capable of producing that level of total bodily destruction?

When enforcement is paired with militarized language, militarized equipment, and militarized tactical frameworks, it shifts the relationship between communities and the state from governance to occupation.

But they also represent deeper ideological exchanges about how states identify and manage populations they perceive as threats.

We are already living in a moment where immigration enforcement is described by many communities as traumatic and terrorizing.

Law enforcement exchange and training programs between U.S. police departments and Israeli security forces have been publicly documented for years. These programs are framed as counterterrorism cooperation.

What begins as war fighting abroad often becomes public safety at home.

This is why marginalized communities in the United States need to pay attention to how state violence is normalized abroad.

History offers an uncomfortable pattern. Military technologies normalized in foreign conflict zones often migrate into domestic security doctrine. Surveillance systems, counterinsurgency tactics, and militarized policing frameworks have repeatedly followed this path.

reflects a broader global trend toward increasingly total forms of state violence.

Weapons are never created in a moral vacuum. They are created because someone anticipates a future in which that level of destructive force will be considered useful or necessary.

What makes this moment even more terrifying is not just what these weapons appear to do to the human body. It is the fact that they exist at all, that they are being deployed with Western supply chains, and that their development

History shows that redevelopment often arrives hand in hand with historical amnesia. But amnesia is never complete. The physical structures of the future are always built on top of the moral record of the past.

This is not simply a geopolitical conflict. It is a struggle over historical memory. It is a struggle over whether mass destruction will be remembered as tragedy requiring accountability or reframed as transformation requiring investment.

are just β€œhow he is,” the more complicit we become in the damage. The man is gradually imploding. The administration’s job is to tell us he’s flawless. And somewhere between those two realities lies the toll this is taking on the United States, a toll history will not spin away.

This isn’t partisan theater anymore. It’s structural denial. A deteriorating executive propped up by institutional dishonesty. And the longer we pretend that this is normal β€” that late-night rants and retaliatory press conferences

That global embarrassment is preferable to personal political risk. So the myth persists while the man erodes. And as he erodes, the country absorbs the shock waves, economically, diplomatically, morally.

What frustrates me is the normalization. The quiet agreement among too many elected Republicans that it’s easier to lie with him than stand up to him. That it’s safer to praise than to question.

A superpower should not feel emotionally hostage to a monologue on HBO. Yet here we are, watching staffers defend the indefensible because their real job description reads: Preserve the Leader at All Costs.

Democratic norms eroded in broad daylight. Late-night comedians triggering presidential manifestos. This isn’t the projection of strength; it’s the projection of fragility amplified by power.

the exasperating truth is, the global humiliation is measurable. Trade allies alienated. NATO partners unsettled.

who cannot metabolize criticism, who must dominate every narrative even when it makes him look smaller, that’s combustible. So the administration lies. About his health. About his β€œperfect calls.” About his β€œtremendous relationships.

Dementia, whether anyone dares use the word publicly or not, does not improve with applause. Cognitive decline does not reverse because a staffer says β€œhistoric” five times in a briefing. It progresses. And when it progresses inside a man who cannot tolerate ridicule,
