Historical fear plus a historic ‘enemy within a ethnic cleansing manifest destiny sack and slaughter framework?

Forcing all that fear and hatred on one political candidate to avoid thinking through a politician whose first wife discussed Reich adulation?

Centering fear this way-dysfunctional cope.

That playbook was a retread of segregation and rape lies. Imagine trying to convince a trauma survivor that they shouldn’t discuss the assault bc ppl get uncomfortable with the truth. Why are we accepting this frame around a long held RW belief?

It reminds me of the high noon 80s where the fog of confusion in this RW culture drug wars, young buck, planting evidence allowed boomers to ignore list pensions, rolled back labor protections, and banking crimes with Iran Contra + Noriega heist.

What’s this fear covering over?

You forgot to mention Rush Limbaugh being awarded that MoF during the first administration. I did too until this latest tragedy and gaslighting exercise of grief/rage/psychosis.

How is that possible? Senate Democrats have convinced us to leave the status quo alone across 4 presidents even when fundamental basic foundational issues were at the forefront (ex. voting, abortion rights, access to hospital care, etc) because the Republicans honor their agreements. *sarcasm*

Why accept the frame that slave owners are the only measure of whether America benefitted from slavery then or now? Why is the frame about the Smithsonian around experts and fascists or continued book burning on the right because they hate other people?

I just thought: rough around the edges, externalizing trauma. Now I think wimpy bullied kid that tries to bully and shame others to finally be accepted or be the cool kid. It’s just a mess that a reality tv star got into the WH and spawned so many other reality tv stars hopes for office.

I’ve listened to women talk about their SA. The sickest souls are the ones who take on the victimizer's mindset of externalizing their desires as their own. If she’s been engaging in this brokenness for 20 years, who else has received the rules of suffer don’t complain.

Feels like more intersectional than just self directed rage and self hate about women. She’s rationalizing being statutorily raped as a teenager where nothing protected her means other girls should be game for every adult rapist hunting girls.

Her neglect and dysfunction doesn’t support kid rape.

Cry racism.
Cry 2 okay pedophilia.

Are these two things similar on the scale in fascism?
What does that scale look like exactly?

Kid locked in2 an authoritarian family/community system with a predator?

Incentivized girls sexualized in music industry contending with colorism and preferred races?

With the rate of rapes and sex abuse, there has to be a pretty widespread culture of violence around forcing & coercing children in2 staying silent about it. Shaming educators away from informing would be victims about consent always smelled.

Can’t complain if you don’t know the secret is illegal!

I was shocked anyone said it. Shocked years ago when John McCain kept making jokes about a part of Republican Party supporting man and boy or man and girl open relationships. Something like manpedala or similar sounding. The joke was of course we don’t agree with that. Wink wink. Nudge nudge.

To exclusively point out a neo nazi while siding with neo cons and neo libs ignores that she won’t even save 95 because the flip side is the increasingly purged territory because the Neo s don’t really care about Gaza at all or the corruption of our process. It’s escalating. Gaza Vegas.

If AOC will save 95 kids out of 100 kids and Greene will save none, the balance weighs in favor of AOC.

If the question is whether Ilan will save 100 out of 100, then the balance in strategy is favor of Ilan. The four Dems who are more inclined to try for 100 are working in the right direction.

Yes Greene is terrible. Yes, her intentions aren’t pure.

The question isn’t purity. If it was Biden Harris and Dems support for funding would be ruled the primary vote in 2024. The issue is disarming the genocide. What strategy works to stop starving and dehydrating kids. How many can we save?

Corporate news is a face for the conglomerate. News and programming is beside the point. It’s the 80s version of the Running man. A face for the propaganda. The diversion.

It’s painful how steady the corruption is over there while they tell the world they are God’s ppl. A god of what exactly?

I don’t think any of these ppl are Christians much less believe in Jesus Christ. They say religious but they are always working some other angle.

Faith and bribery typically don’t work hand and hand.

Roberts court made a decision for the ages.

The halfway position using maga instead of Republican isn’t true. The party has had all these positions prior to 45 47. They meant to knock down federalism, constitutionalism, states rights. Fascism was the point.

Conan made nbc look terrible. If Colbert is smart he will make his last shows epic and quotable until cbs finally pulls the plug.

I hope Colbert finds places for his workers before he blazes out. Calm at first as his ppl find new jobs: bolder.

An off track aside to that aside.

Michelle Obama wanted to stay in Chicago and not interrupt her children's schooling when her husband chose to work for the country. Peer pressure pressed her into DC for 8 years.

Can America stop pressing women into work for the country for no pay, no benefits?

An aside. Is the WH the place either Trump spends most of their time?

Are they there at the same time to have that or any other conversation?

Watching the fourth estate collapse is part of the democratic decline story. Some people were hooked on 60 minutes, NYT, and WP. If the new institutions don't unpack what happened with the standard bearers they won't remain new for long.

I don't want to get over democracy.

The brand doesn't stick to Twitter after it becomes 4chan.

The WP is no longer the paper fighting Nixon and Watergate. It's the paper that stops independent editorial endorsements because the owner says so and the bottom line is no longer credible news and think pieces.

Worst version of corporate speak.

You will be fired if you do anything I don't like. You'll know what I don't like when I fire you.

Be afraid, very afraid.

It reminds me of Leon buying the brand twitter and making it 4chan. Why not just buy 4chan?

When 45 47 decide to segregate the government, pick Hegseth, & have a roman salute billionaire wreck the government...

fired a joint chief of staff person of character and quality,
dismissed the head of the branches of the military for a uterus,
blackballed all members trans...

it's already wrong.

It's both the evil and the stupid that creates the overwhelming nihilism. We still care. Our hearts are doing nothing but bleeding all over the place. It's hard to figure out what hurts more the million covid deaths or the 300K deaths and counting on doge and other measures designed to break govt.

I'm so glad you are doing a show your own show. I thought you went with Conan with his podcast after he left Cable.

I thought the target % of WW was raising the number from 42 to 47 to 48% from years previous. Harris hit her target. Reproductive rights were persuasive for some.

She sacrificed millions of votes Biden received in 2020. What motivated the others to stay home in the coalitition?
