+1 for the Larfleeze reference

9) Remember, this regime is too cheap & too selfish to govern. They can’t even keep the government funded. Ideology doesn’t pay the bills & even the most ardent backers won’t show up when they’re worried about how they’re going to pay the rent/mortgage, put food on the table. Propaganda is cheap

8) This MAGA regime will fail & fail hard. The question is whether it does before its Leader passes. Already, he’s brought no benefits to his people or backers & lacks a coherent ideology other than selfishness. He bases his power on the Office & his brand alone. His selfishness will destroy him

7) What I am saying with all of this? These regimes aren’t permanent, they don’t last long (without outside help). They need war to survive, they spend all of their wealth quickly & then spend their own people just as fast. The only people who benefit are the Leaders & a very small elite remaining.

6) In the end, only the middle survived enough to surrender. Germany & Italy went at gunpoint. Portugal & Spain let their Leaders live their deteriorating fantasies until they buried them. Both regimes fell afterwards, with Portugal sputtering along until its war cost became too great.

5) The guards were always the least desirable in group peoples, always close enough to undesirables to be expendable, which made them more ruthless. But what of the prime in group people? That circle got smaller. No one could challenge the Leader or his vision. They spent with their lives as needed

4) The circle had to get smaller, the desirables had to be thinned. But who would guard the prisoners/slaves? They had to give some hope & crumbs to the lesser desirables (middle aged family men). They would do the dirtiest work for the least, not knowing they could end up in the out-group.

3) Those were high start up costs. They had to feed their troops & people. The ideology didn’t work if they were hungry & couldn’t buy bread. It costs a lot to feed/pay those people. That’s why they inevitably turned to social purging. Thinning their herd of out-groups & in-groups eventually.

2) What do I mean by that? They ramped up their war machine as soon as they could. They borrowed heavily on debt. They needed war/perpetual conflict that required conquest/expansion for raw materials & prisoner/slave labor to process/produce their goods. They had to pay their people & troops enough

This MAGA Regime is not long for this world. Like all Fascist ideologies, it’s effectively tied to the Leader & will quickly dissolve without him (i.e. Spain, Portugal, Argentina). Those regimes spent quickly, borrowed heavily, demoralized immediately. They spent their gains before realizing them.

You can’t build a regime on austerity. You can’t build a personal army paying poverty line wages. You can’t shut down the government and expect the soldiers in your personal army to work for IOUs. You surely can’t raise taxes on your supporters to pay for your agenda after taking their bread away.

The only hope I have with the building of the Fascist regime governing the United States now is that it’s being built more stupidly and more reckless than any other right-wing/fascist regime before it. To compare Trump to Mussolini, Franco or even Hitler is shallow & misses the point

Sir, this honestly gives me some respect for Sliwa in the fact that he continues to carry on despite his President backing a former adversary. We know Adams is getting some kind of deal for all of his cooperation. Sliwa keeps charging at that windmill

@PeteHegseth on X: Cool story, General QT of @general_ben on X: July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer. Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions.

No matter what this meeting is about, Pete will always be a National Guardsman assigned to a Civil Affairs unit who got a bunch of crusader tattoos in his 40s because he wants you to think he's a cool, war-criming operator instead of an extremely online wife-beating loser

A lot of Republicans are anti-government

Excellent read and worth considering.

That must have been SOME cover letter!

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

you have to be fluent in online culture to understand the modern right wing. you have to be extremely online to get it. you need an understanding of what gamergate is. you have to know 4chan. boomers don't get this, no legacy media sources get this, the average trump voter doesn't even get it. these people are on the fringe, but they have infiltrated the government. unfortunately, understanding the grossest underbelly of the internet is now crucial to fully understanding the current moment & the guys at the center of it all. this is literally the stupidest moment in history.

A friend perfectly summed up why legacy media is unequipped to adequately report on this moment/era in history:

Nobody seems to get this, the whole wild west of unregulated gun shows is long gone. You can’t even buy them in the convention center parking lots. What’s more likely is this dude bought a stolen gun, or from a private individual looking to make some cash or even built the gun from parts.

This is the truth right here

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis gives an update after today's shooting at Evergreen High School.

He says there are 2 victims, both of whom are hospitalized, as is the suspected perpetrator.

State law enforcement is assisting at the scene while Polis is offering resources to families + kids.
