And just like that they all fell in line.

Screen shot of a headline on NBC accompanied by a photo of Spanberger standing at a lecturn holding her finger up indicated she's the new number one idiot shill for the democratic party. Copy reads: Abigail Spanberger says Democrats' election wins aren't a green light to extend shutdown
The Democratic Virginia governor-elect said both parties should vote to open the government even if there's no deal to extend health care subsidies.

screenshot of a list of 14 points of fascism as described by Umberto Eco with point number 8 highlighted. text reads : The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”

Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

Cool Ron. Wanna do something about all the fascism or nah?

I suppose taking a principled stand on the issue and actually fighting back rather than just boomer posting might endanger your funding though huh?

I don't think shaming people off the platform for mistakenly sharing an AI video is where it's at.

@jennbudd.bsky.social certainly isn't your enemy unless you're a fascist. point your fire at a better target. there's plenty of em
