It's truly astonishing how after 40 years of conservative domination we are at a point where at least a dozen huge systemic national bills are needed immediately, all at the same time, to prevent national collapse yet Republicans politicians aren't being chased into the woods.
40 years neglecting infrastructure. 40 years dismantling democracy and governmental norms and unions. 40 years radicalizing the judiciary and abetting white supremacist domestic terrorists. 40 years of wage theft. 40 years of deliberate sabotage of the national safety net.
Chase Republicans politicians into our great beautiful national forests, I say. Let them wander the wilds like a bunch of soft doughy sasquatches with expensive shoes and gold cards.

Set these beautiful creatures free to roam our beautiful natural abundance.
Joe Manchin should be sent to guide and observe them, in my opinion. He believes he's learned to communicate with them. He's very interested in observing them and has grown to love these noble beasts. Send him into the woods!
After the Civil Rights Act passed, conservatives, revealing that what they wanted to conserve was racism, cemented up public pools rather than share with Black people.

It wasn't realized at the time, but they intended to do the same to everything else.
Destroying every aspect of public life rather than sharing it with the unworthy is the promise, and it's a very popular one.

To believe that stage was an accident is to believe that the most conspiracy-minded people in the world, who look for symbolism hidden in *everything* already, w/membership including white supremacists that use Nordic runes, accidentally made their stage look like a Nordic rune.
And you also have to believe that this, the nth instance of "accidental" use of white supremacist symbolism, meme, or catchphrase, is also an accident, as were all the others.

All while one of their elected members actually spoke an an actual unvarnished white supremacist event.  GOP Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona was the surprise keynote spe
And you have to believe this at an event that featured as speaker a far-right Senator, who the month prior fomented a seditious insurrection, and voted to overturn democracy in America, calling for a "new nationalism."

From the transcript: And that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. So what ar

This article is good, but also just write "racism" 800 times, article done.
The Republican Party is mostly a reaction to the fact that Black people have, through heroic effort, sacrifice, bravery, and organization, established for themselves a voice in government, and the Republican position is that this reality represents absolutely unacceptable theft.
When they say "Stop The Steal," the theft they are referring to isn't one of their unhinged conspiracy theories that they themselves don't even believe—they mean Black voices actually successfully insisting on being heard.

Black equity is theft, to white supremacists.

You know, the Bible turned into potato-based porn book so gradually, I barely even noticed.
Extraordinary how perfectly today's bigots line up with yesterday's, right down to using the Bible for justification, but one advantage to the modern age is: throwing a #MrPotatoHead at the end of their screeds highlights the emptiness of their philosophy in hilarious fashion.
Sure; Jesus speaks pretty directly to this in a way that makes it hard not to think he's referring to the existence of nonbinary people.

I just wish we had historical record of Bull Connor saying eg "God wants our schools segregated-look it up! #YogiBear"

I’m sure this is just as much a coincidence as the last 1000 coincidental uses over the last few years by Republicans of Nazi slogans, memes, iconography, tactics, purposes, and methods.
It’s a Nazi Party. They’ve been telling us. Daring us.
Unassailable logic here. I think the simple fact that you recognized this as a Nazi s

Make them actually filibuster it. Then pass the same bill again and make them filibuster it again. Don’t stop.
Call every bill the “The Reason You Can’t Afford Anything Is The Republicans Block Every Bill Act.”

Let’s get creative.
Don’t use Hoe Manchin as an excuse. Fight. Throw everything you have. Make their intransigence their problem. Get creative and make their obstruction difficult and uncomfortable.
