The right has weird ideas about their ideological enemies: we're "groomers," we're secretly on a billionaire's payroll, we hijacked education to promulgate revisionist histories, we steal elections, and, of course, w're plotting to take over America and subjugate them. 1/

The weirdest thing about this is that it's the right that engages in revisionist race-history:

And it's the right who stole a presidency:

Election-rigging is a right-wing specialty:

Sidney Powell’s team cld not get Gohmert’s SCOTUS brief—asking Alito to stay certification of Biden’s win to allow briefing on Eastman’s BS legal theory—until 3:51 pm on Jan 6. A Republican Congressman tried earlier that day but failed. Is this when the breach was ordered? 1/

2/ The screenshot in post 1 is from this article by Sidney Powell. archive.vn/2021.09.18-034…

3/ Gohmert’s brief was based on Eastman’s legal theory that Pence had discretion to reject the real electors & count the fake ones and/or throw it back to the states. Even Eastman knew the theory wld fail on the merits.

This thread is about the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, its ties to the radical right hub organization the #ShadowNetwork Council for National Policy, & efforts to overturn the 2020 election, particularly in Florida. /1

The National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) was founded in 1996. That came many years after several state-based Republican Assemblies. California was the first in 1934. /2

The California Republican Assembly was known for its support of Barry Goldwater & Ronald Reagan. The National Federation of Republican Assemblies touts Ronald Reagan & Phyllis Schlafly, one of its founding members, as luminaries & inspirations. /3

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4624: Senator Josh Hawley, No Affection, and Kissing

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #EmotionalIntelligence #JoshHawley #Kissing #Kiss #LowAffection #Affection #ErinHawley

2/ The above image, or cropped portions of it, has been circulated on multiple social media sites the last several days. It shows husband and wife, Josh and Erin Hawley 'kissing' after she spoke at one of his campaign rallies on 31 October 2018 in La Plata, Missouri.

3/ Look at the angle of each of their backs — each angles forward. Their feet, hips, and lower bodies are further apart than their torsos. Leaning into a hug or kiss is a significant signal of low affection.

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4620: Josh Hawley's Fist Pump at the Capitol just prior to the Attack on January 6th

2/ The above, now infamous photo, is Senator Josh Hawley at the US Capitol. It was captured by photographer Francis Chung (E & E News) who reported that Hawley was entering the building at 12:25 pm EST.

3/ Trump was still speaking at the Ellipse (he began speaking there at 11:58 and would finish at 1:12 pm). The first barriers at the Capitol were breached at 12:53 pm.

1/ THREAD: This is @HawleyMO's current profile pic at the top of his Wikipedia page. He can place any photo on this page he chooses. And no, this is not 'just the way he smiles' — this image shows #JoshHawley with a classic Contempt expression.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert

2/ Contempt is a clear and caustic tell that a person views him/herself as superior to another individual group — that they think of that person/group as beneath them.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert

3/ Contempt (along with Disgust) were the two most common emotional displays Nazi captors displayed toward their prisoners in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, and the many other concentration camps during WWII.
