Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

In spite of his many vices, Republican women rewarded him with the most powerful office in the world and access to unfathomable gain.

Why wouldn't MAGA men imitate him in his vices too?

This attempt at normalizing extra judicial killing is not only in atrocity, just imagine Americans living abroad.

And "pro-life" Christian supporting him, believing they are ducking responsibility and just repeating the talking points of their media fantasy industrial complex. Withdraw all respect.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

Jones is a flavor of the "Fantasy Industrial Complex" but let's ask why he was so persuasive? The banality of the lives of his audience is such that far right conspiracies feel more alive than the facts of their life. They continuously choose fantasy over fact to feel more alive.

It's excitement.

Somebody should ask him...

1. What's it like to be subordinate to an adjudicated rapist?
2. Is that morally hard for you? 3. How do you feel about the Commandment bearing false witness?
4. Do you believe lies are justified when they benefit Christian nationalists?

The MAGA supporters like to think they're being rebels but they're conformists to what their leaders tell them. No matter how absurd. The excitement of the conflict fueled by the "fantasy industrial complex" (Fox News Etc,) is more exciting than anything else in their life.

Media illiteracy would explain it. But there's more.

Some people's lives are so banal that they prefer what's offered by 'the fantasy industrial complex' to reality. It's more exciting. For many people, they feel themselves more alive watching Fox News (etc.) than the rest of their life.
😮

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

It's obvious how they turn "No Kings" into "Hate America."

Let's remember, their rhetoric is leading to bloodshed. When it happens, they should be held responsible. They are inciting people to do crimes against other citizens.

The president might even pardon them. He's done it before.

Todd Vickers 🇺🇸💙🇨🇦🇺🇦 @toddvickers.bsky.social · 14h

This persuasiveness has but one direction, and we should say it, it's bloodshed. What they're saying is simply not true.

Where’s the evidence? They claimed the election was stolen but never produced it. Even Republican judges rejected their cases—claims fail without proof. Speculation about Bidens preferences is irrelevant.

Burden of proof.
