This was same legal defense made by Tucker Carlson in the McDougal case. Bottom line, is that Fox and the Right Wing Media Echo Chamber are pushing disinformation. Their defenses in court are an admission: businessinsider.com/fox-news-karen…

The sociopathic game the Right plays w/the gun issue:

1. Republicans sell congressional inaction to the gun lobby, and instead offer hollow thoughts/prayers to murder victims' families

2. When sane members of society accurately point out the Right's corrupt cowardice... 2/
3....Cruz & other sociopaths deflect attention from their complicity, by creating a gaslighting characterization of the sane reaction to mass murder/GOP inaction...as being "contempt" for prayers......

4. This triggers the persecution complex of the evangelical base, and.... 3/
.....manipulates the "Right to Life" crowd into essentially defending a "Right to mass murder" position.....especially since the Right has manipulatively defined gun fetishes as being a "god given" Right....as analyzed here: 4/

A relevant dose of reality at a time when @TuckerCarlson is disputing Qanon's website-less existence & railing against the feminization of the military:

QAnon...[and other extremist groups] pose...a threat to unit cohesion, discipline, and readiness." 1/

Thread:"...one overlooked factor of Qanon: there’s an interactive, crowd-sourcing component where people compete, receive a “reward” (dopamine) for being the *cleverest*, connecting the furthest dispersed dots, & for (most absurdly) advancing the “story” the furthest/quickest."

Is Qanon morphing into a religion right before our very eyes?

At a minimum, we are witnessing a perfect storm-like convergence of numerous features of modern society that have created a fertile ground for conspiratorial delusions. 1/ religiondispatches.org/in-the-name-of…
These features unsurprisingly run parallel to both Trumpism and Qanon.....and include: celebrity hero-worship, reality TV, weaponization of technology, narcissism, victimhood, a neurotransmitter called dopamine, religious conditioning,…2/
…….a post-truth mantra that entitles people to “find your (their) truth”....

Lost in @tedcruz and @Sethrogen's back and forth is something worth noting: an apparent shift in demographics and ideological platforms of the Republican Party.

Cruz implicitly promotes the Republican party as being pro-union. This is not only a break from the past, but....1/
... the suddenly pro-union position is also consistent with other positions that had historically been opposed by the Republican Party such as protectionist policies/tariffs supported and implemented under Trump: 2/
Regardless of whether these ideological shifts were initially the result of a blind, cult of personality allegiance that is now morphing into a more general leaderless (Trumpless) populistic tribalism, the shift, even if relatively nominal, is real: 3/nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Trump has been inciting violence for years.

April 17th, per the Virginia GOP: "On Friday, President Donald Trump tweeted, “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!”

Virginia borders Washington D.C.

What happened on January 6th was the naturally flowing consequences of having a president who is as psychologically disordered as Trump. From 2018: 2/
Trump's Narcissism not only incites the violence, but the narcissism causes him to desire the violence because after being "rejected" by a majority of the country, the violence soothes his pathologically fragile/wounded ego....3/
