They Really Are THIS Stupid. RW GQP AZ Gov Candidate Kari Lake gets schooled. 🤦




Brian Klaas @brianklaas · 18h
Public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood political scientist:

A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. Saying “we’re a constitutional republic, not a democracy” is like saying “I don’t have a dog, I have a Border Collie.” How is this difficult?

"Our Democracy" is actually a Constitutional Republic, Joe.
Maybe that's why you don't seem to understand how any of this works.



Methinks she may need one of those collies... 🦮

Right wing propagandists over the years have brainwashed dumbasses into believing there is no democracy anymore because it sounds like democratic.

I've heard Mike Lee and others hammer that slogan over and over.

Why they think that message appeals to people who vote is beyond me.

Religious liberty (not theocracy), following the Articles of Confederation, following different things in the U.S. Constitution protecting slavery.


Things change. We owe the Founders nothing.

In her little Fascist mind it goes something like this.

1.) America is not a Democracy.

Because Democracy is too close to the word Democratic. Kari Lake and her Fascist chums hate DemocRATS. They are Socialists, Commies, unpatriotic, and un-American.

So Kari Lake is going to revamp the dictionary and redefine reality to suit her needs for her lust for hatred.

2.) America is a Constitutional Republic instead.

There see,.. now that is so much better. The word Republic is very similar to the words Republican Party. And the Republicans are the only true red, white, and blue - flag waving - hyper patriotic AmeriKKans.

The purpose of the Fascist Republicans are to demean, deface, discount, and debase any/all DemocRATS until the last one has been wiped from the face of God's green earth.

This Constitutional Republic vs a Democracy kerfuffle about America is a backdoor declaration that the Republican Party reins Supreme pertaining to patriotism, freedom, and liberty.

Alternatively the DemocRAT Party needs to be erased from the political landscape because they are bad for the USA. They seek to subvert God's Will. They are not the true Christians. They are all pedophiles. All DemocRATS rejoice and worship at the alter of the devil himself. Jesus finds all DemocRATS to be totally despicable.

These fucking Fascists will not stop until they bring America to the threshold of a hot Civil War.
That is their ambition that is their end goal.

Big Dick Energy - in reference to Donald J. Trump and Ronald DeSantis. - the utterances of Kari Lake.

+++×××+++×××+++

Snip,

Arizona’s Republican nominee for governor is going viral for sharing her NSFW opinion that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and former President Donald Trump both have “BDE”—or “big dick energy.

End snip, more at link below,

These Fucking fraudulent Fascist think they are God's gift to humanity, all that is pure, all that is good.

If they ran the country, all us humans would be ball/frisbee throwing robots that also feed them whenever they need.

We'd get up at 2AM/4:14AM/6AM/8AM and replenish bowls.

In their perfect world, we'd also have a fenced in yard (40+ acres) with lots of sheep. And a playground with jumps, tunnels, water hazards.

Aussies ain't bad either!

...in Russia.

The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia...is a right-wing populist and ultranationalist political party in Russia.
~
The LDPR was centred around Zhirinovsky, and is often described as populist, nationalist, or ultranationalist. It has been described as adhering to statism and authoritarianism, and has also been described as fascist, though this label has been disputed.

Lots of "handlers" around these parts. This is problem with pretty open borders and lax internal enforcement. The russkis and others have no problem infiltrating opinion-making operations into the US.

Sure looks like she has been "groomed". I guess that's why the repugs started using that word (groomed) since they knew it would soon be used against them.
