One way or another, I have a feeling that phrases like "you're overreacting" or

[ck4829]

"you're making a big deal about this" will be said a LOT about QAnon-style politicians, white nationalism, rehashes of Satanic Ritual Abuse, Republicans outright saying poor pregant women are little more than chattel, excuses for Trump corruption, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, and crazy conspiracy theories over the next two years... so much that it will have an echo.

But: If you have to be "weird" about then be weird about it and never shut up. That's for sure.

1. recycled anti-Semitism

It has paid off for CENTURIES, no surprise some are still cashing in on it.

2. It's gonna get bigger unfortunately

So much recycling of tropes you’ll think they’ve gone green

3. Sounds like a form of gaslighting to me.. nt

4. It is, the gaslighting will be cranked up to 11

5. If it's exposed they will be burned by their own gaslight..nt

6. And that, my friend, is up to us

I am confident that we will be seeing more gaslighting and what-have-you in the next 2 years than in the entire Trump administration.

We’re going to take a bad hit - scientifically, art, culturally, socially, and more. There is this right-wing Trumpian pastor, Greg Locke I think, who said there are witches in his congregation and I honestly think we will see more accusations of that in the mainstream, we will see “scientific” racism, and claptrap like conversion therapy and trickle-down economics forced down our throats. Even if we keep Congress, this will still happen.

It’s going to be up to us to say “NOPE”, “bull”, and “citation needed”… no matter what they do.
