such good writing , explanation & analysis. And Restraint! (In my head, I call Trump "this MF" , Scalise "fucking dummy" I could never write "president T..." nope , can't do it.

* Donald Trump is dementia nuts. Everyone Knows it. The World Nations Know it. Trump needs a Dementia CareGiver, and No One Cares. Trump's father, Fred Trump Sr., died from pneumonia complicated by Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia. He passed away on June 25, 1999, at the age of 93. *

Yes. Con artists don't say things bc they R true but to attain goals--here to "justify" SAVE Act. In getting ppl to not care re: gov & feel like their vote doesn't matter--GOP has done massive gaslighting toward this goal 4 generations--since Reagan's 9 most terrifying words. Many hate & ignore gov

The public doesn't understand how these people operate. That's why every book club in the U.S. shd read @mkonnikova.bsky.social 's The Confidence Game, a history of con artists. Also Babiak's Snakes in Suits. And Hoffer's classic The True Believer And @brianklaas.bsky.social 's book

Save America act! Hold all the republicans congress ,senators , and judges along with trump family musk family all billionaires responsible for distorting our country and seize their assets put them back in the us treasury to pay back Americans.

Agreed, MAGA is rife with people who recognize the power of their vote but feel like the act of voting is a chore tantamount to rolling a boulder uphill. They want freedom from voting.

"An overall sense of voter apathy is the desired outcome here, in both red and blue states." Before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Putin's propaganda aimed to cultivate political apathy by making people feel that the truth of any particular issue was unknowable.

It’s not even the ID that’s an issue (although that is one as well), it’s the ridiculous requirement about proving your citizenship. First it was this stupid REAL ID bullshit, now that’s not good enough either.

Our vote *doesn't* matter, at least at the national level. The popular vote doesn't elect the president, and votes for our state representation to Congress are gerrymandered to be pointless depending on which party controls the state government.

Well it is because they only say shit out publicly without disclosing the entire content. This is not; about using a photo drivers license to vote. This is a poll tax one incurs when you register or re-register to vote. I have at registration already attested to being a citizen and signed my name.🤔

I never ever want to hear anyone wonder HOW people end up in CULTS. You are watching cultic dynamics every single day. There are cult lieutenants and cult followers. Not everyone is a "true believer" within the cult lieutenants, but all Maga rank and file cult followers are true believers.
