So is Liz Cheney officially the new John ‘Maverick’ McCain? 🧐
Not saying I like or trust her on anything else but I can totally muster a grain of respect for *any* Republican who’s willing to fight their own party to save America from Trumpism/fascism. It is what it is. 🇺🇸
John McCain more than likely wouldn’t have voted for voting rights either, he voted against MLK day and the 1990 Civil Rights Act. No one expects them to stop being Republicans altogether, the issue is way too many of them are traitors and domestic terrorists now (except Liz 🙃).
I repeat: 🗣 the MSM won’t pass up an opportunity to make the GOP look reasonable when they aren’t. White “moderates” and Never Trumpers are still desperately searching for a McCainesque exit ramp off the Trump train & they aren’t above trying it with a Cheney.
They can’t wait.
1) She imagines herself as Olivia Pope (“crisis” manager) 😒 #girlbye 2) 48 hours from 1/4 = 1/6, as others have noted, not a coincidence 3) They clearly anticipated completely/violently overthrowing federal, state & local govts 4) Lock them all up
Or as my favorite, @PoetJasmineMans said so eloquently to him in ‘Footnotes for Kanye’, “you look like you haven’t had a home cooked meal since your mama died.” No truer words and again, just WOW, what a loss of a mind, scruples and potential. 💔
It’s only terrifying if you’re a White person who doesn’t belong to a marginalized identity group. 😒 Plenty of women, Jewish/Muslim/Atheist, BIPOC, LGBTQ, disabled, impoverished and chronically ill people have every reason to avoid dating or associating with people who hate US.
Because the MSM is decidedly GOP and GOP adjacent. It’s basically just a bunch of White “moderates” who collectively publish the myopic Groupthink of Whiteness™️ as if it’s a sacred religious text and not a den of confirmation bias. They’re the ones MLK warned us about too.
The GOP & NRA also have a pretty good idea that plenty of aimless White #MAGAYouth (and adults) are considering school/workplace/mall shootings, vigilante killings and domestic terror attacks but they don’t give a shit b/c the blood money keeps flowing. #WhereWereTheyRadicalized
IOW, the #OxfordHighSchool shooting is yet another example of the stochastic terrorism borne of the Trump era and the ongoing radicalization of MAGA Youth at the behest of the GOP & NRA. The insurrection rages on and it doesn’t stop at the school doors either.
Ok @FromWheat, the consensus so far is your neighbor’s a racist and potentially violent POS. Godspeed, dear. 🙏🏾
Thing is even if it’s not the job that pays their bills they live in a society that grants them the power to be deputized into the vigilante overseer task force and/or Karen brigade. Zimmerman, Rittenhouse, Ryan/the McMichaels considered themselves to be correcting a problem.
