Republicans love to make up fake crises. Here are five of the biggest: Robert Reich - The Guardian   The goal is to deflect and distract – to use scapegoating, racism and outright lies to disguise what’s really going on

Violence is the new Republican grift - Salon dot com

Trump's greatest appeal is how he gives his followers and others in the MAGA movement's orbit permission to be their worst true horrible selves. Violence bonds members of a social group together; this is especially true of political personality cults such as the Trump MAGA movement.

Opinion: How today's GOP has embraced the 5 elements of fascism - Raw Story

1. The rejection of democracy, the rule of law, and equal rights under the law in favor of a strongman who interprets the popular will.
2. The galvanizing of popular rage against cultural elites.
3. Nationalism based on a dominant “superior” race and historic bloodlines.
4. Extolling brute strength and heroic warriors.
5. Disdain of women and fear of non-standard forms of gender identity and sexual orientation.

B.See » 24 Jul 2022, 5:10 am » wrote: Truth is, the Republican party has been working toward the death of democracy in America for quite some time. 

From back when conservative think tanks and groups like the Heritage Foundation and their affiliates dictated policymaking to Republican politicians like Ronald Reagan. Back when their various right winged PACS and interests like the Kochs and Mercers held little pow-wows and retreats with right winged judges like Scalia and Thomas.   

And when their Federalist Society provided Republican presidents and lawmakers with lists of potential judgeships comprised of far right ideologues. 

Back when their "war" on drugs wasn't a yet "crisis" (as it is now with opioids) and back when they and their right winged media outlets like Fox, promoted and promulgated thinly veiled, racist, dog-whistle rhetoric and anti-democratic propaganda on a 24/7 basis. Just like they do NOW. 

The coming of Trump was only the culmination of that ongoing effort. He was only the full EMBODIMENT of all they were already trafficking in. 

So it was NO wonder that his hate based, rabble rousing diatribes were so readily devoured by right winged voters, above ALL other contenders. And why they love him STILL. 

And now that they can see their goals on the horizon, they've unembarrassingly pulled out ALL the stops. Today, their sights are set on nothing less than a fascist, authoritarian MINORITY RULE style of government founded upon hate based nationalistic sentiment and they are acting, non stop, towards those ends. 

They've set about doing so via They've done so by turning the GOP into A CULT. And THEIR ENDGAME is nothing less than THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA.
Great opening post B.See. 

Since, circa 1980, New Deal policies have gradually been dismantled and economic inequality has grown to historically disproportionate extremes.  Labor unions have been under constant attack.   And the US Far Right Disinformation Industry is the largest ever known.

This first true experiment with Representative Government is in real danger of declining into authoritarianism and dictatorship.  As you show above, the forces of inequality and hate have been planning the termination of genuine elections for a long time.  Now, they are nearer than ever.

There's a great fight ahead.  It's up to the majority of sensible Americans to mobilize politically and prevent a nightmare from descending on our country.

TRUMP, DESANTIS, AND RACIST MAGAS LIKE TOMMY TUBERVILLE ARE OUT TO DESTROY DEMOCRACY AND REPLACE IT WITH A FASCIST STATE

We are the enemy they want to kill - Dailykos

"MAGAS are wearing black American flags now, as flown by Confederates during the civil war, and the message is clear. We need to alert the 60% of the country that wants what our Founders bequeathed to us to persist to the very real threat posed by the 30% who want to tear it all down. They don’t just want to drive us out of their neighborhoods/states by censoring books, taking away our bodily autonomy, endangering our right to vote, threatening our children, and calling us every name in the book. They want to kill us."

Republicans have launched the Project 2025. Consider this a warning - Dailykos

"Republicans have launched a plan to reorganize the United States Government into a basic Dictatorship, by largely dissolving all government agencies and placing it under the purview of the Presidency. They are calling it the 2025 Project.

And They have developed a “training” program to help propagandize and brainwash as many people as they can sign up with their “The Presidential Administration Academy.” Only GOD knows what sort of depraved lunacy will be uttered in the four corners of that “classroom.”


Miles Taylor: "If we don't stop [Trump & MAGA] we will zombie-walk off the democratic cliff" - Dailykos

"This is a Red Alert Five-Alarm Fire interview with Miles Taylor about just how dangerous Trump would be if he returned to the White House.

Trump apparently wanted his own personal Mercenary Force like Putin's Wagner force - because he has hero worship for Putin - and would have sent them or Federal officers, armed, to the polls for "election security." (To intimidate Democrats) It's incredible. Miles says "If they don't (delegitimize Trump and MAGA) we are going to zombie-walk off the democratic cliff"

It’s literally dystopian and Dickensian. As bad as we think Trump is from afar, Taylor has been up close and personal with him — and it’s much, much worse than even my darkest dreams. ...a sobering seriously must-listen."

continued from above:

Speaking of Tuberville, the Trump sycophant who's doing Putin's bidding by undermining the United States military (Is Tuberville’s hold on military promotions so Trump can fill them with loyalists in 2025? - Raw Story) leaving the Marine Corps without a leader for the first time in a century, and the Army and Navy without a confirmed top officer,

only a cursory look at HIS record (outside of athletics and coaching) reveals he was/is EVERY BIT THE CROOK TRUMP IS. i.e. ANOTHER con-man who should've been locked the fk up a LONG TIME AGO (source - Wikipedia):


"After his 2020 election to the U.S. Senate Tuberville said that the three branches of federal government were "the House, the Senate, and the executive."

Tuberville was among a group of Republican senators who attempted to overturn Democratic president-elect Joe Biden's victory over Trump in the 2020

He voted in support of objections to Arizona's and Pennsylvania's electoral votes, both of which were won by Biden, and one of less than seven GOP senators who supported this.

On May 28, 2021, he voted against creating an independent commission to investigate the Capitol attack (for reasons which should be quite obvious by now).

On May 10, 2023, Tuberville was asked in an intereview whether he believed white nationalists should be allowed to serve in the military. to which he replied, "I call them Americans."

In July 2023 he denied white nationalists are inherently racist."


And financially, his record is equally reprehensible:

"In February 2012, seven investors sued Tuberville and a partner, saying they were defrauded of more than $1.7 million that they invested from 2008 to 2011. Tuberville's attorneys denied the allegations.

Tuberville settled an investor lawsuit in October 2013 on undisclosed terms, claiming that he was also a victim.

In 2014, he founded the Tommy Tuberville Foundation, whose purpose was, according to its website, "to recognize and support organizations and causes that connect with the beliefs and values of the Tuberville family, including "assisting our military and veterans/"

Through its first five years, the foundation raised $289,599 but spent just $51,658 on charitable causes, at a rate of 18%... FAR less than the 65% that the Better Business Bureau says ethical charities should spend on their causes.

In 2020, the Associated Press called the Tuberville Foundation "a questionable charity that raises money but gives very little away."

In 2020, The New York Times reported that his campaign and foundation officials "produced 2018 internal records that showed nearly $20,000 was raised for a temporary project to provide a retreat for veterans.

But this raised bookkeeping questions, since they showed more than $61,000 of 2018 revenue, roughly twice what the charity reported to the IRS.

He also said that he was looking forward to raising money from his Senate office, a violation of federal law.

In 2021, the WAPO reported, the foundation "reported $74,101 in revenue but spent just 12 percent of that, or $9,000

while $32,000 went to "administrative costs." By the end of 2021, the foundation's website had gone defunct.

In February 2022, Tuberville dismissed proposals to ban lawmakers from trading stocks.

According to Business Insider, Tuberville violated the STOCK Act 132 times in 2021.

Tuberville was among 31 Senate Republicans who voted against final passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.

In July 2023, a spokesperson for Tuberville said that his foundation had been "under audit" and had paused its activities, but that Tuberville was reforming it."


Yeah. I'll BET he is.
