Hehehe. Funny.

The juxtaposition of that they think they are versus what they really are... if they weren't such fascist pricks you would almost feel sorry for them.

Thankfully America had the sense to get out from under the former guy. Brazil and India are still dying with the reckoning bought on by voting ultranationalists into office. Vote on the twisted ideology of othering and you get the incompetence and utter mismanagement you might expect... the far right hate reason, critical thinking skills and fact based decision making - these are counter ethical to all the hate they hold dear. Of course they were going to fuck up the pandemic response, and the worst thing about it is I am quite sure they don't give a shit. What was it Stalin said- one death is a tragedy and a million is a statistic? Heh. Indeed.

Come on!!!! Surely they can do better than that? This is want they are going with? That Biden owns the insurrectionists. That the MAGAts this fascist barbie helped incite are all about Biden. They are going try and rewrite history with this nonsense and make it stick? LOL

I love the smell of far right desperation with my morning cup of tea.

...planning the death of American democracy by a thousand legislative cuts.

The response to the other guy losing is every fascist authoritarian racist nativist wannabees wet dream. Over 360 bills in 47 states undermining the electoral systems to a huge degree. I mean come on. Want to protest systemic racism in Florida and a Nazi runs you over and kills you, nothing to see here folks. First amendment be damned. Want to vote in Georgia? Good luck with that. Attempts to purge voter rolls in Arizona is paused for now, but only cause the big lie freaks in the legislature felt it did not go far enough.

Let’s pretend the insurrection did not happen

Let’s repeat the big lie ad nauseum to undermine faith in how voting shit works

Let’s limit the power of election officials

Let’s give ourselves the power to overturn election results

Let’s steam roll through legislation to silence and disempower those who have a problem with male, pale, stale, fascist, lying racist fuckers clinging onto EVERYTHING.

They will happily see the great experiment die rather than cede any control at all to anyone who does not think and act JUST LIKE THEM.

As Steven Levitsky so eloquently puts is
“This is how elected autocrats subvert democracy—packing and “weaponizing” the courts and other neutral agencies, buying off the media and the private sector (or bullying them into silence), and rewriting the rules of politics to tilt the playing field against opponents. The tragic paradox of the electoral route to authoritarianism is that democracy’s assassins use the very institutions of democracy—gradually, subtly, and even legally—to kill it.”

They need to be stopped.
