"But at least since January 6th, some MAGA sectors have been dropping much of the pretense of religious freedom, while they appear to openly prepare their audiences for vigilante violence and religious war."

abc.net.au/religion/chris… "Since its inception, the Lord’s Resistance Army has kidnapped more than 100,000 children. The objective of the group, as articulated by Kony, is an explicitly Christian nationalist one: for Uganda to be a country governed by the Ten Commandments."

"Shockingly, they completely ignore two of the most significant economic events: the market crashes of 1929 and 2008."

Plutocrats are controlling too much of our edu and media.

Because it wasn't really an "attack". It was an *assist* by the right-wing of 1 country to the right-wing of another country — part of a global right-wing alliance that Putin's party and the GOP are just 2 members of.

They've all been helping each other for decades and decades.

The fact that most Americans don't realize this is because U.S. establishment media is controlled by people who benefit from right-wing policies.

So it benefits them to keep us hating other countries without giving us enough info that would make us evaluate our own systems.

@duchessofearl1 @JYSexton In an INTERNATIONAL STUDY, the GOP *platform* was found to be FUNDAMENTALLY neo-fascist.

Republican Party has evolved into an American version of Europe's neo-fascists.
👉🏼 dailykos.com/stories/2019/6… @duchessofearl1 @JYSexton Studies have demonstrated that the ONE characteristic that linked 2016 Trump voters across all *other* characteristics is that THEY ARE AUTHORITARIANS. 😖

Trump is a SYMPTOM of #AmericanFascism.

Good morning! 🌄🌇🌅

The *illegitimate* Trump admin — which exists because an oligarch cheated to get elected — is an *illegitimate* neo-fascist regime building fascism.

Today's GOP is a neo-fascist party.

The USA is an OLIGARCHY.

Oligarchy and fascism are UNACCEPTABLE. Monday, @NPR *reporters* repeatedly called the fascist, terroristic rally in Virginia, "peaceful", and Wednesday morning, NPR *reporters* called perfectly legal behavior by refugees, "Illegal".

Do you understand what's happening?

@Teri_Kanefield Today's Republicans like Putin and United Russia (Putin's party) because they're ideologically aligned on many issues.

They're NATURAL ALLIES.

From March 7, 2017:
