THREAD: As a genocide scholar, I SAY AGAIN: This is the result of Culturally Normative Sociopathy (a model I developed; read on).
Y'all are unprepared for this b/c you've been too busy excuse-making for folks (e.g., saying they're in a cult:
1) you can't leave a cult
1/x

2) you're physically cut off from t/world;
3) these folks have freewill &
4) are free to turn t/channel
5) if it were a cult why are so many unaffected within t/same families...
6) it doesn't work like that!) instead of recognizing they're acting irrationally & criminally 2/x

across multiple measurable social and individual dimensions & factors.

Are not racism and misogyny illegal let alone inhuman?; but FOXers WS/WN in all their guises, MAGA folks and t/ Silent White Majority get a pass, if FOX/Trunpism a cult 3/x

rather than a feature of American life (thank you @PortiaMcGonagal. for that phrase).
When you say, FOXers WS/WN in all their guises, MAGA folks & t Silent White Majority GOP/Tumpism is a cult, you collude with them and delude yourselves rather than face the truth 4/x

relative to the systemic structure and functioning of American society and what that has brought about.

And, you're about to get hit with what's really going on.....
Speaking as a genocide scholar, we are now at the threshold; you know that place where: WITH 1 MORE TURN OF 5/x

THE WHEEL, given your speed, velocity, trajectory and the distance from where you are to the cliff, there's no way in physical reality, you're not driving over it!

FOXers WS/WN all, MAGA folks & t/Silent White Majority GOP/Tumpism folks want this, take pleasure in doling 6/x

out the pain & watching folks suffer EVEN IF IT MEANS THEY THEMSELVES SUFFER

Automatically handed power & privilege from birth via structural institutional and cultural racism and misogyny, they will do anything & I mean ANYTHING to put down/take out those who dared to 7/x

advocate for and make/made steps towards an equal just society....
As far as they're concerned, we are the usurpers, the reason for all their misfortunes (God forbid they consider the pathological nature of their hate which decimates people and lives) 8/x

Because, in the end, privilege & power without spiritual, emotional, psychological, social and physical hard work to rectify what you didn't create but nonetheless were afforded by the color of your skin, makes people weak.....and weak people who turn to faux victimhood 9/x

which they use to justify the dehumanization and crimes they commit on a daily basis both large and small to rid themselves of "the problem" i.e., all non-White others with dreams of restoration of the "Fatherland, Motherland, or New American Eden" are genocidal...10/x

This is well supported by history.

We face some hard choices in the coming days, that will require both resolve & wisdom, but before we can even hope to do this, we must first face facts & reality.
There's not one thing 11/x

I've said here today that @docrocktex26 hasn't told you now for years. If you don't already follow her, I strongly suggest you do!

Godspeed to us all
12/x
