When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Not exactly comforting that the survival of our democracy is hinged more than ever on their incompetence but if it helps, it helps.

You, your neighbors and Mr. Talisman have my shared horror & outrage that this has happened. How any decent human being can support these actions is beyond me.

In addition to being appalled by the potentially deadly incompetence displayed, I had tears streaming down my face in watching this. What an incredibly sick place this country is right now. Kudos to those who courageously filmed this.

I'm currently reading "February 1933" and would also recommend it. "Marseille" is on my list!

Like little kids playing soccer, it too often seems that everyone runs to follow the ball, in this case the Administration's twisted ploys, instead of maintaining their positions, composure and game strategy. I really appreciate the points you made in your article which did leave me more optimistic.

violent rhetoric from the right starts all the way from the president at the top, and goes all the way down to the fringe randos.
violent rhetoric from the left is confined to the fringe randos.
can you spot the difference

This is such an important point that is too often forgotten.

A president of the United States is there to serve us. All public servants--by the very name--are there to serve us, the public. Local police are there to serve us--and by extension, federal policing agents are there to serve us. Let's not forget that when we see all these people working against us.

Lying publicly to protect a child rapist while rocking a crucifix is the essence of the MAGA self-lobotomy required to live in their broken world.
