We know bad actors behind climate denial; we recently examined bad actors behind Court capture; there’s news reporting of bad actors behind the Republican voter suppression apparatus; & we know pretty well who funds most Republican politics. No surprise: it’s the same crew.
The blood pumping through that beast is dark money; expose that & the beast shrivels. The beast knows this. So the race to capture the Court is also a race to establish that dark money is protected by the 1st Amendment rights of association & petition.

That seems ludicrous, & it only got Thomas in Citizens United, but he’s the dark money crowd’s leading indicator. This theory now pops up all over the right wing’s ideology hothouse, & dark-money entities have begun “pleading the First” to questions.

These bad actors are running a covert operation against their own country.

They’d like legal protection around the dark-money bloodflow of that covert op. Packing the Court lets them do it.

I wish these were fever dreams, but I think it’s actually situational awareness.
