Always a lighthearted salon game to chart out how twelve lifetime *zero-laughter* broken brained billionaires decided in their thinktank groupchats that American comedy was their most dangerous enemy, and so simply purchased and wrecked it over ten years with the dumbest algorithms.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

The Right hates American democracy and freedom because it recognizes that those things tend to foster policies and cultural shifts they don’t want—consumer protections, environmental regulations, progressive movements, etc.

The right-wing agenda is deeply unpopular. And again, they know it.

Again, these people want violence. They want their supporters radicalized and ready to commit it.

Psychotic violent fascists who label protesters, activists and dissenters as terrorists, are in fact obviously themselves the terrorists - see how that works? Labeling is easy! 🤪🎪🙃

*Back in my day* we required a proper government false flag event, with an elaborately rendered official story slapped over it, in order for us to get panic-herded into an illegal police state escalation. Nowadays they just declare it’s time for fascism without even bothering to do the inside job.

Here's an angle for ALL journalists: Never write the fake-word "antifa" again. Every reference to it in a legit news story should spell the phrase out fully: "anti-fascist." I'm pretty sure Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" would've advised the same. And it's a LOT clearer to your readers.

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

Blue State AGs should open a multistate task force to investigate and prosecute every single assault and attempted murder. Haul them into court without their masks to face justice directly.

According the victim's attorney, body camera footage captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good.”

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous.

Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.

So far they’re just rolling out a Reichstag decree without even bothering to do any actual Reichstag fire incident - they’re simply sloppily editing a few non-incident videos and turning the algorithm dial up all the way to SCREAMFUCK to the mind controlled 20%ers that it’s now necessary to do Nazi.

Hi I’m a rightwing conspiracy guy: I believe over 7,000 separate conspiracy theories, but have carefully curated a blanket exception for any obvious false flag operations aimed to enrage and manipulate rightwing conspiracy guys like me into obeying oligarchs - official story all the way on those!

At yesterday's White House Antifa conference, testimony was produced from a series of well-known fabulists and conspiracy theorists about an organization that battled the Nazis in Weimar Germany and went dormant in the fifties. For the speakers, the Nazis were the good guys and Antifa were dangerous

Trump’s ‘Antifa roundtable’ was so much worse than you’re imagining

Holly Baxter reports on a meeting that, at one point, appeared to position people protesting against Nazis in the Weimar Republic as the bad guys, and at another saw the president declare, ‘We got rid...

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
