I think it’s a bit—he needs the thrill and attention of being a smug contrarian. Over and over and over again.
Seems to me that Q A n o n was created as cover. To produce an automatic reaction in our minds — a massive conspiracy of pedophiles and committing SA and trafficking by the highest levels of our society is just nonsense.
And out of everywhere is the logical conclusion is it not?
Calling positions that are a direct line from the New Deal, “Marxist”, is absurd. Why are you spreading this nonsense?
Our liberal ideals don't come out of nowhere. They're rooted in America's founding documents, the traditions of the Indigenous people who helped inspire American democracy, the rebels and critics who've spoken out in every era.
That’s exactly what I was thinking of. :)
Yes but only some of Reagan’s rhetoric (ie. not welfare queens). His actions betrayed the ideas of democracy — and led us directly to here.
Gaslighting is a power to wield. MAGA knows they are lying and they revel in it.
Yes, and is why the concepts expressed in The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones are so valuable. We can hate the history but love the ideals. The promise of true democracy is worth fighting for until we get there.
Extrapolating to current politics, I’m wondering whether it is beliefs based more on prejudices (and not facts) when cognitive dissonance is truly present.
It’s prejudices and fears that trigger a more powerful emotional response.
Thank you for the reminder to watch. Relatives just described it as one of the best shows they’ve ever seen, and that the finale was incredible.
I really need people to understand that refusing to seat fascists is an antifascist act that protects democracy & is not the same as fascists refusing to seat antifascists to destroy democracy—in the same way that finding a guilty person guilty isn't the same as finding an innocent person guilty.
This. And the media still can’t see it! They continue to treat the lying-grifting-incompetent-antidemocratic GOP as valid.
Complex facts don’t matter anymore. Just a strong story/image to break through the noise. And this is powerful. 😡
"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."
I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.
I can’t wait to never give $ to centrist Dems again. This strategy has failed for years. Wake up.
This is how the right wing owns the narrative—facts are buried or inaccessible due to flooding us with constant shit. And the billionaire owned national media capitulates.
So why did the Vichy Democrats vote for the resolution to honor Kirk’s “life, leadership, and legacy”?
It’s like honoring a member of the KKK. He said the exact same things.
Like the Trump regime, maybe news outlets want to hire morally bankrupt people for a reason?
This is absolute madness when ABC News airs Republican lies time after time without correction.
I’m concerned that it’s all a big con. Because the details get missed. They are lionizing him for their own purposes — and most people just listening to a few minutes of TV sound bites don’t get the full story.
Um.
From 2016 via Boston.com: The Environmental League of Massachusetts is re-releasing a bumper sticker used 44 years ago when Richard Nixon won the presidential election and Massachusetts was the only state whose electoral votes backed Democratic opponent George McGovern, reports State House News Service. The bumper sticker says, “Don’t blame me, I’m from Massachusetts.”
Red Massachusetts has never been, and will never be, a thing. 😆
Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
He had me at habibi.
I like Powecom and EvolveTogether KN95 masks.
Also, I just got Covid for the first time, from my parents getting it while in rehab centers. Be careful.
My understanding is that it’s temporary because some states are tied (right now) to CDC guidelines. RFK Jr canceled the June meeting by firing everyone, and states are waiting for Sept 13 meeting.
Northeast states are actively trying to work around it.
