13/ to complain to me, I'd either remain silent or say, "Told ya, but you didn't want to listen". I did my part; I told them the truth and facts of the situation and they didn't listen.

12/ a run for Georgia Governor next year.
Talking to the GOP voters doesn't work; brainwashed people have to be "deprogrammed" first. Only psychiatrists can do that. That's how complicated the process is.
I have little sympathy for the Authoritarianism-brainwashed GOP voters. If any of them were

11/ They're people who have to "learn" the "hard way". Marje Three Names is a great example... she has just learned the hard way and, instead of staying in Congress and fighting, she's resigning as of the fifth of January next year, after she gets her Congressional pension. She's also contemplating

10/ Fascist GOP politicians don't truly represent them; they only represent their wealthy and big corporate masters.
Ergo, I ask suburban and rural Democrats the following question: how are you supposed to "talk" to the Authoritarianism-brainwashed? They're not believing anything that you say.
November 26, 2025 at 7:18 PM
9/ they're tolerated, and only as long as they spew the party line. Autocracy-brainwashed GOP voters think Jess and other female Democrats are idiots. Those of us intelligent and sane know that's not true, but that's how GOP voters have been programmed to believe. They also don't understand that the
November 26, 2025 at 7:14 PM
8/ followers of the regime were/are insane. Autocratic regimes like the Fascist GOP feature all four types of insane people.
The situation is even worse for female and minority Democrats. You see, what few women and minorities there are in Autocratic regimes like the Fascist GOP are not respected,

7/ many GOPers skip the first two steps to go straight to this one. With projection, the claimant wrongly accuses the other side of being just as they, the claimants, are.
The Regression being practiced by Fascist GOPers proves the first Principle of Authoritarianism is true, leader/leaders and
November 26, 2025 at 7:07 PM
6/ that more times than I can count and I got tired of people ignoring the truth/facts.
Once I popped their cognitive dissonance bubble and they badly warbled the Siren Song, they'd go to the final step, the worst form of hypocrisy and a psychiatric ploy known as Projection. In fact, these days,
November 26, 2025 at 7:02 PM
5/ Equivalency. "The Democrats are just as bad" and other such nonsense was/still is spewed. They're too Authoritarianism-brainwashed to know that the last time the Democrats & GOP were actually "the same" was 155 years ago. Yes, 1870. I won't go into a long explanation of how and why; I've done
November 26, 2025 at 7:00 PM
4/ because those things make them uncomfortable, cognitive dissonance. Usually, what GOP voters would do is to deny the truth and facts and "dig in". But, even if you could pop their cognitive dissonance bubble...
They would and still do move to step two, singing (badly) the Siren Song of False
November 26, 2025 at 6:55 PM
3/ You can tell them the truth and facts until you're blue in the face, but it doesn't matter.
I eventually came up with "The Regression" because the Autocracy-brainwashed GOP voters' responses fit a pattern. The Regression has three steps...
The first step is their insane denial of the truth/facts
November 26, 2025 at 6:51 PM
2/ How do I know this? Personal experience. I "birthed" my first two social media accounts in October 2010 on Facebook & Twitter. It didn't take me long to see just how Authoritarianism-brainwashed GOP voters were/still are. These are people who give no fucks about the truth & facts of the matter.
November 26, 2025 at 6:48 PM
9/ violate all of the Federal laws. And...
Even if the House and Senate GOP decided to hold him accountable (good luck with that) by impeaching and removing him, DJTS could still pardon himself of all Federal crimes. Do you see how bad the situation is, legally?
November 25, 2025 at 8:04 PM
8/ Virginia Bar Association can hold her accountable, but no one else. And, since that's considered a state matter, the President's pardoning power doesn't cover it.
Guess what else? DJTS doesn't have to follow the Alien Enemies Act or the Insurrection Act, let alone the Posse Comitatus Act. He can
November 25, 2025 at 8:03 PM
7/ and here's why: the American Bar Association does not have the power to disbar any lawyer in this country; punishment for illegal acts by an attorney are handled by the state bar association of which the attorney is a member. I believe Halligan holds a bar license in Virginia, therefore, the
November 25, 2025 at 7:59 PM
6/ Letitia James due to DJTS' illegal appointment of Lindsey Halligan. His near-total immunity disallows him from being held legally accountable for that decision, but, because Halligan accepted that illegal appointment, she can (and should be) disbarred. Can DJTS give her a pardon for that? Nope,
