🧵 This piece captures a core problem of the hollow democratic state: politics has become performance, optimised for visibility, not understanding.
Farage is winning because politics has been reduced to clickbait.

It’s a shallow spectacle that favours clowns and con-artists.

As @jemmaforte.bsky.social says here - politics has been “repackaged into junk food.”

But there are ways for the left to fight back 👇🏻

Again, Seymour Hersh's reporting on this was a work of fiction, not journalism.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

De VVD: "Wij gaan niet met die geradicaliseerde GL-PvdA in zee; zij zijn uit het midden gerukt."

De VVD heeft plannen die een bedreiging vormen voor de democratische rechtsorde, terwijl GL-PvdA de democratie versterkt.
It should be noted that American Conservatives in general often fantasize openly about running over or gunning down protestors.

Also worth noting that the amount of money spent on the additional police presence is definitely many times more than it would cost to just feed the hungry people republicans are stealing food from.

Not all surprised by Wilders trying to pull a Trump.
There is no fascist on earth who respects the electoral process, wherever you find them they will try to undermine and ultimately destroy democracy. Wilders is no different. What an odious fascist piss stain on our country.

The women married to fascists are usually also fascists. They weren't "tricked" into being with these people. They chose them.

This is a longstanding, thoroughly disproven lie.

Vance is carving out a little niche for himself as the guy who tells vicious, racist lies about non-white people to massage the egos of white nationalists. And the *specific* lies he tells reveal he’s well versed in white nationalist propaganda.
Speaking at the Univ of Mississippi in Oxford, Vice President JD Vance claimed that when settlers arrived in the New World, they “found widespread child sacrifice,” adding that “Christian civilization ended the practice.”

Last year we got a tip about a children's pastor who'd managed to stay in ministry for decades even as allegations of sex abuse trailed him across four states.

I kept pulling thread and found something far bigger: a 50-year pattern of abuse and cover-up in the largest Pentecostal denomination 🧵 1/

Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis.

Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.
