Ten Articles Explaining the 2024 Election Some background reading

The Republicans will kill you, and the Democrats will let you die.

An explainer on enablers from last year -- and before: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ten-articl...

There are abusers and there are enablers. There is an overt authoritarian death cult and a soft-focus death cult. The two parties are not the same -- and that's the point. They work in tandem to create this nightmare.

Sarah Kendzior's books, HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW, are essential guides to grasping vital background about the US government and organized crime. Get those books now, before it becomes impossible to do so.

"I wish I were exaggerating about that," she says.

Itโ€™s a special kind of political genius to win elections then immediately surrender, proving the only thing Democrats stand for is the art of folding like a lawn chair.

It's a conspiracy theory, I agree... however, I think Musk is likely intentionally influencing a lot of behavior that is forcing people out. 1. Create a problem. 2. Install an AI solution. 3. Make money on contract.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: โ€œI have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.โ€

Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah took down X posts Tuesday making an apparent connection between Gov. Tim Walz and the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, and blaming โ€œMarxistsโ€ for the murders. The change comes after blowback from Sen. Tina Smith and her staffers as well as Minnesota Democratic and Republican lawmakers.

One X post said โ€œNightmare on Waltz Street,โ€ with pictures of Boelter, who is accused of killing Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours of June 14. Boelter also went to the homes of two other state lawmakers that night; one house was empty, and at the other, a police officer pulled up to the house shortly after Boelter arrived, so Boelter left.

Another Lee post read, โ€œThis is what happens When Marxists donโ€™t get their way,โ€ with a picture of Boelter.

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

It is entirely possible to be respectful about the death of a person you disagreed with without โ€œhonoringโ€ him by vowing to continue his disagreeable, hateful โ€œwork.โ€

The Epstein case is a multi-system cover up, and how we handle it sends a message to survivors of sexual assault everywhere.

We will not allow the wealthy and powerful to be protected at the expense of survivors. Above all, they deserve healing, peace, and justice.

Harris warned everyone a year ago that Trump would let Putin get away with anything, including an attack against the rest of Europe, starting with Poland. Last night, Putin violated Polish airspace and Russian drones had to be shot down.

Kamala Harris was EXACTLY RIGHT.

Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by political violence.

Charlie Kirk was killed by *gun* violence.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

/6 Also: if a Left-wing activist even remotely as strident as Charlie Kirk had been assassinated, Charlie Kirk would have smirked and applauded, as would have many of the people who are going to be loudest about Charlie Kirk. Donโ€™t buy the hypocrisy.
