The Right’s authoritarian
And often quite contrarian
Their views are antiquarian
And anti-proletarian

The short-fingered vulgarian
Has proved utilitarian
To radicals and Aryans
And other such barbarians

Too true?
#VoteBlue.
Their war on education
Is a plague upon the nation
With fanatical fixation
On coercion and castration

There is no substantiation
For their tales of exploitation
It’s a source of true frustration
I would like to see cessation

You, too?
#VoteBlue.
There can be no abdication
Of our civic obligation
And we need participation
From the younger generation

There’s no place for resignation
We can’t choose capitulation
So please hear my exhortation
To hold back this devastation

We’re through,
#VoteBlue.
I’m sick of the inanity
Of Carlson and Hannity
They feign their Christianity
But flatter MAGA vanity

We must return to sanity
To benefit humanity
I may lose my urbanity
And lapse into profanity

You, too?
#VoteBlue.
We’re heading toward election
And I’m sharing my reflection
I would hope that your complexion
Won’t influence your selection

Let me offer an injection
Of our needed course correction
We must all raise our objection
To this MAGA type infection

Two, two (‘22),
#VoteBlue.

Theoretically, any issue can be a “kitchen table issue” if you talk about it in the right place
MOM: More roast beef, honey?

DAD: Sounds good. And I’m sick of white supremacists trying to disenfranchise voters

MOM: How was soccer practice, Johnny?

JOHNNY: The crusade against CRT & “groomers” is part of a longstanding plot by the Religious Right to destroy public schools
SALLY: Do I have to eat this?

MOM: Yes, dear. And it’s ridiculous to pretend that any Republican will have a chance against Trump when he inevitably runs again

DAD: The climate that declares any anti-Trump Republican to be a RINO is unlikely to dissipate in the next two years

Best as I can tell, Elon Musk’s plans for Twitter appear to involve de-legitimizing truth and legitimizing untruth.

He wants to eliminate (or severely loosen) content restriction, and his plans to charge blue checkmarks for identity verification will surely discourage it.
Now, maybe Musk doesn’t REALLY understand what he’s doing, and naïvely thought that charging verified users for the privilege of Being a Famous Person on Twitter would help him recoup the billions of dollars he sunk into this ridiculous vanity project.
But that defies Rule Number One of Social Media: if you charge a monthly fee, that kneecaps your popularity. You can’t have a thriving social network unless everyone is allowed to participate. And why would any well-known person want to pay Musk for the privilege of being here?

OF COURSE IT DIDN’T ACTUALLY HAPPEN! FOX NEWS JUST MADE SOME SHIT UP FOR THEIR AUDIENCE TO MINDLESSLY REPEAT, LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO
I’LL SAVE YOU SOME TIME: NO PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING CRITICAL RACE THEORY TO THEIR STUDENTS, NOR ARE THEY GROOMING CHILDREN INTO GENDER TRANSITION SURGERY. DRAG QUEENS ARE NOT MOLESTING CHILDREN, AND TRANS WOMEN ARE NOT ATTACKING CIS WOMEN IN PUBLIC RESTROOMS
THERE IS NO “BORDER CRISIS” OR “CRIME WAVE” HAPPENING. THAT’S JUST THE SAME SHIT REPUBLICANS SAY EVERY ELECTION TO SCARE PEOPLE. DR. FAUCI DID NOT COVER UP THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS, NOR INITIATE LOCKDOWNS AS A MEANS TO SUPPRESS THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

“Skepticism can never be wrong” is an awfully convenient statement for Glenn Greenwald to live by.

It’s another variant of “I’M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS!” from the sect of the public that repeatedly refuses to listen to the answers.
“What if the Republicans were never wrong about anything, ever?” isn’t healthy skepticism. It’s cult mentality.
CNN: The Coronavirus is infecting thousands of people per day

TRUMP: THIS IS ALL A HOAX TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD

D: That’s clearly not true

CARLSON: But what if Republicans were never wrong about anything, ever

D: Is he serious

R: I refuse to let the Deep State control me!

“I like Bill Maher because he makes fun of both sides equally.”

- Republicans
“Both Sides Equally” means that Paul Pelosi and David DePape are equally worthy of scorn
Implying that both sides are equally shameful & unethical is a tactic to elevate the side that is empirically worse.

Again: it’s almost always the Republicans who stand to gain the most from this strategy.

Which is why they encourage a comic like Maher to attack “both sides”.

They’re all just objectively terrible people now
I don’t see how “difference of opinion” encompasses “Joe Biden didn’t win the election.”

There is truth, and there are lies.
The GOP is the party of lies.

They will remain the party of lies as long as they tolerate the lies without pushing back.

If you know a Republican voter, they are complicit in the deceit. Because these are extremely obvious lies.
