We are living through the most consequential shift in the constitutional government of the United States in over a hundred and fifty years and nobody seems to have even noticed yet.

It might not be inaccurate to say that the most powerful people in human history want to put humanity to sleep because they are afraid of dealing with our reality that we have wrought

“What do you mean I’m a bought and controlled rightwing propagandist!? I get all my information organically from eaglelibertynewsfuck that has 500,000 fake followers on instagram, and the Alpha Warlord podcast that was funded and micro-targeted by Peter Thiel to my exact demographic for ten years!!”

Well-buttered rightwing propagandists are always screaming lies about “paid leftwing protesters” because 100% of all rightwing political activity is very obviously deeply funded by the hyper billionaires who own them - so they fabricate a symmetry that doesn’t exist

MAGA should have rightfully been labeled a domestic terrorist group after their Jan. 6 terrorist attack on the Capitol.

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition…

We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

Always a lighthearted salon game to chart out how twelve lifetime *zero-laughter* broken brained billionaires decided in their thinktank groupchats that American comedy was their most dangerous enemy, and so simply purchased and wrecked it over ten years with the dumbest algorithms.

The Right hates American democracy and freedom because it recognizes that those things tend to foster policies and cultural shifts they don’t want—consumer protections, environmental regulations, progressive movements, etc.

The right-wing agenda is deeply unpopular. And again, they know it.

Again, these people want violence. They want their supporters radicalized and ready to commit it.

Psychotic violent fascists who label protesters, activists and dissenters as terrorists, are in fact obviously themselves the terrorists - see how that works? Labeling is easy! 🤪🎪🙃

*Back in my day* we required a proper government false flag event, with an elaborately rendered official story slapped over it, in order for us to get panic-herded into an illegal police state escalation. Nowadays they just declare it’s time for fascism without even bothering to do the inside job.

Here's an angle for ALL journalists: Never write the fake-word "antifa" again. Every reference to it in a legit news story should spell the phrase out fully: "anti-fascist." I'm pretty sure Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" would've advised the same. And it's a LOT clearer to your readers.

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

Blue State AGs should open a multistate task force to investigate and prosecute every single assault and attempted murder. Haul them into court without their masks to face justice directly.

According the victim's attorney, body camera footage captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good.”

Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.
