This pretty much sums up the MAGAts, the White Supremacist RepubliKKKan Party, and the despicably vile Christian Nationalists.

The beauty of Elon Musk is that his opponents don't even have to "push negative propaganda." He does it himself.

This is exactly how I feel right now.

I don't know what to say. I'm deeply honored, because I've been soooooo supportive of the RepubliKKKan Fascist Party. Does anyone really fall for this crap? Are MAGAts really this stupid? I have to assume that the answers to the above questions is a resounding "Yes."

For anyone who's still not clear on the way Trickle-Down Economics works, this is as good an explanation as I've ever seen.

I know this has been discussed previously, but if you haven't read this incredibly prescient novel by Sinclair Lewis, get a copy today. In it, Lewis tells the story of America's election of a fascist president and the incredible turmoil that follows. It's more relevant now than when it was written.

Cover of Sinclair Lewis's amazingly predictive novel, It Can't Happen Here.

Had to share this, as #ElonIsAFascist proves once again that he is entirely delusional and simply desperate to be liked.

It's really cold here in North Texas. Overnight, it went from "Ted Cruz Buying an Airline Ticket" to "Ted Cruz Boarding his Flight" Cold. I just hope it doesn't fall all the way down to "Ted Cruz Basking in the Sun in Cancun" cold or we're all screwed. Nothing is ever forgotten.

Ted Cruz abandoning his constituency and getting on a flight to Cancun in the midst of a life-threatening winter weather emergency in which nearly 250 Texans died.
