Stephen Miller isn’t a mastermind.

He’s a mediocre internet troll who learned how to use federal bureaucracy to hurt children.

Calling him a "monster" makes him a legend. Calling him a "bureaucrat" reveals the truth. Stop flattery.

Fox News operates on Paternalistic Populism—a strategy to infantilize the audience and normalize authoritarianism. They don't want informed citizens; they want obedient children waiting for a strongman father. This is manufactured consent for the death of democracy.

Outrage is rigged.

Phantoms like “Satanic Panic” dominate headlines, while genocide in Gaza is minimized.

The right’s obsession with AOC isn’t about policy; it’s patriarchal panic. Unable to refute her, they default to misogyny — calling her dumb, hysterical, sexualizing her — which reveals their own insecurity when faced with a powerful woman of color who won’t back down. #AOC #Patriarchy #politics

The relentless right-wing attacks on AOC are not a sign of her weakness, but a testament to her power—and a direct reflection of their own deep-seated insecurity and fear.
