Media, music, and democracy junkie. Usually musically love loud guitars, three chords and a few more. Also, cheese (except for Swiss)

Remember when VP Cheney called the last remaining Iraqis loyal to Saddam Hussein "dead-enders?" That's MAGA now. Fortunately they are declining in number...hopefully.

That's making all the news, but worse than that was his calling the media the enemy and treasonous, and that craziness about "Fortress America." Understand what he is doing: he's building a white Christian Nationalist army. With Elon Musk's help. This isn't hyperbole, it a hair-on-fire situation.

Most people don't understand or even know what Hegseth is doing to our armed forces. He's creating a white nationalist army, radicalizing personnel. In addition to the horrible "no trannies, no beardos..." he attacked the media, saying they are treasonous, said media is the enemy of the U.S.

Trump seeks to label Democrats as communists, but he was the one who rolled out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping and kissed his ass. He is clearly Putin’s comrade and buying government stakes in private companies, so why aren’t more people calling out this bullshit? #ComradeTrump

It's easy to ridicule, but its worth figuring out why that feeling exists for so many. Clearly rw propaganda media is a huge factor, but its only the couple election cycles where Dems are fielding more candidates and trying to build infrastructure there.

If this story is true that's two GOP house members (Smith and Boebert) and a former Senator/cabinet secretary we've learned about just this week. Ordinarily we wouldn't care about these folks' private lives, but if the party is openly hostile to LGBTQ+ rights I think the hypocrisy is newsworthy.
