Stories are everything!
They stick in people’s minds.
The “conservative-christian” propaganda machines figured this out decades ago. We are late to the war.

It’s a war of stories.
They have the edge, because they use fictional narratives… LIES.
It’s much harder to capture attention truthfully.

AOC:

“JD Vance, you look like a CLOWN.”

“They (mah-gah) ‘ridicule others’ to make themselves feel powerful.”

“Laugh at them.”

“This is about INSECURE masculinity.”

also she says:

"In order for a SMALL person to feel BIG, they have to CRUSH someone else.
THAT is what their whole political
IDENTITY is ALL about. IT'S PUFFERY.
It is about forced supremacy, and it is based on nothing; because they KNOW how SMALL they actually are. They are grasping at straws, because they have nothing else."

The one percent in this country…

“For my friends, EVERYTHING.
For my enemies the LAW.”
-Oscar R. Benavides

The one percent in this country
(who control everything; either in a monopoly or a too-big-to-fail corrupt system, that gets socialist-government-bailouts whenever there's a new republicon crises threatening civilization)
seem to think they live in Roman times, and they are the aristocracy. They get to be served by thousands of slaves. They love it.
Rome was about 50-50... half slaves and half citizens. Their view of "equality." That's where they're leading us; where you are sleepwalking to.

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

How do we know this isn't Putin's doing?

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Fox is essentially the WWE of journalism. They’ve essentially acknowledged this themselves in their court defenses.

I doubt Fox will get sued for this obviously deceptive practice. Watters, Hannity, etc. are officially "entertainers" not journalist, not reporters. This is Fox's version of Jimmy Kimmel. Steven Corbert, etc. but dressed up as "fair and balanced" views on politics.

So it only took a handful of sycophants to induce fear and hatred into the hearts of half the country … with the GOAL being rightwing, partisan radicalization.
Sickening… unforgivable…

noun
plural noun: sycophants
a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage.

So important… “plenary authority” = UNLIMITED POWER = their very obvious goal since entering “politics.”

Plus, she says “orange bag of hotdog water,” a couple times.
It just rolls off her tongue so poetically!

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

The fascist fucks refuse to seat a duly elected member of Congress. It's a clear view of what will happen IF the Dem's take the midterms. No one will be seated, the nazi dictator will not allow any Dem's to be sworn in. They don't care about strongly worded letters, they have seized the government.
