Didn't have anything on my Bio Description when I was on Twitter, but I guess I may as well have one now. Studied music, dabbled in history, love film. He/Him, in case the kilt wasn't a giveaway.

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

He is literally doing the Johnson pig story to himself.
From https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/this-hunter-s-thompson-passage-is-particularly-poignant-in-light-of-that-david-cameron-and-the-pig-story-10510787.html

It reads: “This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas.

“The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.

“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-f****r,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofab****h deny it.”

These are not fully formed ideas but what I am sensing is a toxic combination of: - So few people reading quality fiction where you have to put yourself in someone else's shoes & actually pay attention, rather than reading passively. This results in lacking basic reading skills.

We wrote this 18 damn years ago.
A script from episode 102 of Leverage with the dialogue for defense contractor Dufort:”You know the great thing about Congressmen? Fifty, a hundred  grand well spent will get one elected.Once they’re in, they have an incumbency rate of over ninety-five percent. You get, on the average, eighteen to twenty years of use out of one. (beat) In these uncertain times, buying a United States Congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make.”

A photo of Donald Trump inspecting the scale model of the Trump arch with drones, snipers, and golden statues was unavailable due to reporters being banned from the briefing. So, here is Hitler and other top Nazis inspecting a scale model of a planned Triumphal Arch in Berlin, circa 1939.

You have to understand that white nationalists think there is a huge silent majority that agrees with them but fear of backlash keeps them from expressing their support openly. Therefore, they crudely signal and interpret everything as equally crude return signals of support.
