Brandi Love is going through the struggles I had as a conservative. I thought that they actually believed in liberty. I eventually realized it was all a front for Christian fascism.

Socially tolerant Republicans need to support her and actually fight against the lunatics.
This controversy has been illuminative in getting the Christo-fascists to state their agenda though.

They literally want the majority of Americans who disagree with them to have fewer rights, while dishonestly crying about "censorship." Image
This TPUSA event honored accused pedophile Matt Gaetz, sexual harasser and racist Madison Cawthorn, Christian supremacist Rob McCoy, alt-right podcaster James Lindsay, deranged lunatic Eric Metaxas, and 1/6 enabler Lauren Boebert but it wouldn't allow a Love as a mere guest.
I should mention also here that Brandi Love got the boot at the behest of white nationalist trolls who have been besieging TPUSA events for years. Here's one of them saying that she's worse than a serial killer for acting in porn Image
Here's another screenshot of the abuse that Brandi Love is facing from self-described Christian conservatives.

This person thinks she deserves the death penalty for having sex professionally. Image

Thread...

This may be hard to believe, but the most common meme among conservative media figures is that they serve as an honest corps of fact-checkers against the "liberal media."

Except quite often, their own fact checks are wrong. Here's a story of one.
Having been in their shoes, I can say that many Republican commentators are able to tolerate their jobs because they have distorted pictures of their own side as more rational and tolerant than it really is.

They honestly are pretty ignorant of what the GOP base really thinks.
Accordingly, they are constantly trying to find ways to defend irrational that their readers, viewers, or listeners do.

Everyone knows that the GOP is over-represented among #COVIDIOTS, including conservative writers, so they're constantly trying to flip the script.

Jenna, have you ever had an actual debate with a progressive pundit about this topic? I'd wager that you have not. You would get utterly and totally destroyed.

Disagree? Then try to prove me wrong. Let's debate your book!
Fundamentalists like Jenna have such irrational and contradictory ideas that they CANNOT debate them. Why? Because they can't even make sense of them from one day to the next.

This is why billionaire shills like Ben Shapiro or Steven Crowder prefer talking to college students.
The other issue is that Jenna's illogical Christianism is very vulnerable to white nationalism.

If you say that America should be built on Biblical ideas, a racist can correctly point to racist stuff in the Bible. Jenna can't debate them either. flux.community/matthew-sheffi…

#FartsAreFascist is the ultimate in far-right non-humor. They really think that progressives are insulted by a half-hearted and halfwit parody hashtag.
Basically, the only thing they seem to think is funny is offending people. They're so desperate to do it that they'll even concoct things that make themselves look like idiots, but they can't perceive it at the time

The Turning Point USA diaper debacle is a great example.
As stupid as this hashtag and the catturd account is, however, it's a great illustration of the utter collapse of conservative intellectualism.

You don't have to think John Oliver is funny, but he doesn't name himself after cat feces.

What a fantastic essay that includes an excerpt from a speech delivered in 1875 by President U.S. Grant on the importance of church-state separation and secular schools. Thom's piece linked below is worth your time.
Here's the entire Grant speech, which for some unfortunate reason, isn't too common on the web.

The context was his desire to promote secular public education as a way of preventing the recurrence of a second civil war. It's prescient. ImageImageImage
There's often talk of "Two Americas" as if it's about Republican/Other or Vaccinated/Unvaccinated.

Those divides exist but they spring from a much deeper divide, between people who understand deductive reasoning and those who don't. This divide largely originates from religion.

1/x Conservatives constantly rage about "liberal media bias" but when you see the material they call journalism, it's much, much more biased. Here's a great example from a RedState article covering the doomed CA gubernatorial recall campaign of a state rep with no chance
Recalling Gavin Newsome has never polled more than 40%. The guy who just launched his campaign has no chance of becoming governor. But according to RedState, "Hope Is Calling in the Air." WTF?

It's absurd in both political and grammatical terms. realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2021/go…!
The article doesn't mention the Newsom polls at all. But the author does make sure to quote from her colleague claiming that "There’s an air of hopefulness I haven’t seen in a while."

Sounds like delusions.

Mini-thread: Mike Lindell and the right-wing plutocrat network

The MeinPillow guy's never-ending spew of lies and delusions about the 2020 elections have damaged the country, but his craziness does provide a great example of how insane your average right-wing donor is.
The fat cats who bankroll the GOP (even pre-Trump) are lunatics, pure and simple.

The biggest right-wing donors out there are Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer. They are outright Christian supremacists who also are in love with the atheist Ayn Rand.
To a normal person, these two worldviews are utterly irreconcilable because they are diametrically opposed. But if you're crazy enough, they blend perfectly!

They're best pals with a guy named Arthur Robinson who collects urine and loves fake science fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-g…
