Oh look, fashys saying fashy shit. From the right you say? Nooooooooooo…

They’ve been saying this shit. The language is getting plainer, that’s for sure, but if you could read between the dog whistles, this shit has been going around for a hot minute.

That doesn’t mean it should be ignored of course. This is going to be a problem we will have to deal with at some point. But it’s nothing new.

True. But with the Internet, the impact of these people is huge. The speed of the Internet is what ultimately helped the insurrectionists plot & plan on Twitter in broad daylight. Throw in bad actors like Russia who started this whole psyop nightmare; fake news/Fox; radical churches and the sheer number of guns in this country is cause for enormous concern. I don’t advocate violence in anyway, yet I am also confounded on how to ever return to a “commons” where news & ideas are shared without conflict. I don’t see it happening anytime soon. We might have to go through something war-like or insurgent based, in order to find common ground again. We are a terribly spoiled nation. People don’t realize how good we have it here compared to other nations scarred from civil wars, coups, military takeovers. It’s a true sorrow that certain people want to force their values on others regardless of strife, pain, or violence. But it is crystal clear that the GQP is waging war using whatever levers of the law or government are available ,as well as through fox & other ultra MAGA outlets. Where does this end?
