“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” — Alice Walker

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

It’s weird. The MAGAs are spoon fed daily outrages and have their physical health degraded by the constant cortisol pumping through their veins.

The outrage machine’s unplugged and they’re cool as a cucumber.
Trump says move on.
