Reading through Looney @LauraLoomer’s ridiculous Substack on J6 prisoners so you don’t have to.

TLDR she’s blaming Desantis for not cleaning up Trump’s mess. The common theme nothing is EVER Dear Leader’s fault. #ItsACult

Follow the 🧵 as I update…
First, the irony of her calling out people making”boatloads of money” off Trump’s name…which is what she is attempting to do now.

It is also inconceivable to #TrumpGriftInc that people who supported Trump could genuinely grow tired of his constant buffoonery and losing.
@LauraLoomer is@doing Trump damage control. He knows the fact that he didn’t pardon is going to bite him in the primary. This is an attempt to stop the bleeding.

Things to note- Trump could have pardoned the J6ers BEFORE they were charged. See Ford’s pardon to Nixon…

Thread: The @TexasTribune's thread summary of their story about public school teachers in 2022 is a must-read, IMO.

My thoughts on it below, as a Cult 45 survivor and now opponent.
Issues like this one affect people beyond Texas, and even beyond the USA.

Republicans' intentional mismanagement of the public schools system in places like Texas is a useful example of why and how they are deliberately damaging their country for the sake of staying in power.
If they see the photo of the teacher sitting at her desk, the first logical fallacy they will commit is ad hominem.

They will try to disregard the whole story by asserting that even slightly overweight people are just lazy, and will do worse than others if they contract Covid.

Today in #itsacult :

"When cult adherents get confused, then ashamed, then realize they’ve been scammed, they get angry and exit."
While some followers may continue to believe in the cult for some time — especially if they stay in an information silo — eventually contact with family and friends who care about them and others who have escaped from cults can and will help people come back to themselves.
How do we dismantle a dangerous cult safely and turn this into yet another American fad as embarrassing as bell-bottoms, polyester and pet rocks? By dismantling the power of its mythology so people who have been pulled into it return to independent thinking.

DON JR on forthcoming IG report: "When you see the things we've seen in our government -- if you saw those things happening in our banana republics, you would say, 'that's terrible'.... what has happened has been really disguising."

(Note the complete lack of specifics.)
DON JR and @foxandfriends hosts give up the game, reveal that the IG report is going to be used to try and discredit key witnesses in the Mueller investigation
