This is such unbridled horseshit. I live in fucking California, and I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Fuck Trump shirt/flag/bumper sticker/whatever in person. I can't go a day without seeing Let's Go B

Yep. I was a George Will/Ronald Reagan/Al Laffer conservative.  I genuinely thought that if you cut taxes for the upper classes, then they would spend and invest and the economic result of that w

Youngkin walked it back so fast. Dude can’t decide if he wants to go full Trump and alienate moderates or full moderate and alienate the base. He’s fucked 

Their only campaign strategy is hate. Now that there is schism, they turn that strategy on each other.

Chappelle: You really hate to see it....

NASCAR fans started shouting “fuck Joe Biden.” But, a guy named Brandon Brown had won the race. A reporter tried to deflect from the shitbird behavior of the fans by saying “seems like they’re saying ‘let’s go Brandon’” in the post race interview.

Its funny because people tried to politely pretend idiots weren’t doing something embarrassing. 

i also had no idea wtf Brandon was

I mean, the parallels long ago passed being "spooky" - they are fully into "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THESE GUYS ARE FUCKING VIOLENT AUTHORITARIAN FASCISTS WHO ARE AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT" levels of comparison.

They aren't "kinda like" historical authoritarian fascist movements.  They are literally following the EXACT fucking playbook, to the smallest detail.  We know how this begins.  That's happened.  We know how it goes.  That's happening.  We know how it ends.....if we don't stop this shit, that is the fate that awaits us.

It sounds almost over the top to talk like this, but you are absolutely correct. We refuse to take these disordered people seriously at our own peril.

I mean, how many fucking parallels does it take? They've had their own Beer Hall Putsch (Jan 6).  They are busy creating their Beer Hall Putsch martyrs (the Jan 6 defendants).  They have the fucking Beer Hall Putsch Holy Flag (the story linked above).  They openly use white supremacist symbols (the Odal Rune stage at CPAC).  They use the same fucking "replacement theory" rhetoric as the Nazis use.  They attack the "Lügenpresse" the same way the Nazis did.  And I could go on, and on, and on.  I mean, they hit damned near EVERY FUCKING ONE of the touchstones of the rise of authoritarian fascism in Europe in the 1930s (let's not forget Mussolini: political rallies as cultish rituals, rampant cronyism and corruption, etc.).

These aren't "comparisons."  They're fucking EXACT DUPLICATES.  And one more very, very, very important parallel: at the time of their rise, everyone dismissed the nazis and fascists as incompetent clowns who couldn't constitute a real threat.  Until it was way too fucking late.  We're doing that exact same thing here.  I'm sitting here watching one of the most horrific plays in history be replayed right here in my own beloved country, and we're apparently just going to let it fucking happen.

Plus, the reason the RW have been trumpeting inflation is because it is a key to taking back Congress, once in office, the power to wield measures will be intensified this go around. Violence will not be a surprise, they've been expecting it and hoping for it. It's what fascists do.

Everything.  They.  Have.  Done.  IS WHAT FASCISTS DO.  It's not a "similarity."  They literally ARE fascist authoritarians, doing all the fascist authoritarian things.

Yes, we've been calling them fascist for quite awhile.

Not everyone sees it that way and they will be swept along as the tide of history consumes us all. The question is not will they notice the rising tide (they usually don't), but how many will drown before it's over. There are no life vests, no boats coming to throw a lifeline. This is it. Hold the beach now or hope you don't drown.

If the average baby is about 8 pounds and you could turn 50% of it into meat, that would mean you could get 16 quarter pounders per baby. That burger goes for 3 bucks, with the meat probably costing a dollar. So the average baby would be worth about $16. 8 million babies, $94 million in revenue. Doesn’t seem like a good business model.

Or maybe it’s because you acted unethically, including the slander of a programmer at Dominion that has basically ruined his life and endangered his family because you propagated a conspiracy theory about him rigging the election?

50% yield is probably too high. I’d go with like 30% for you math, unless you have something really yummy in mind for the offal.

if Fascism had a ticker symbol what do you think it would be? 

FSC? FAS? FASC? I kinda like the last one myself is.

Anyway, when will they let us invest in these fascisms? Can't seem to find it in my high risk options just yet

TIL: Cult members hate the word cult. It's their greatest fear. 

I thought it was brown people?  
 

Oh wait, what about a brown person telling them they're in a cult?

There's an unfortunate degree of overlap in those groups, I've found. Which is unexpected, because Bobby is always wearing gear for lefty political causes like voting and women's rights

I don’t think there’s much overlap. Maybe in Texas. Most Deadheads are liberal with a tolerance for people who don’t conform to societal norms. That’s kind of a central tenet to hippie philosophy. Get your freak on. It’s all good as long as you’re not hurting anyone else. The surviving members of the Dead played a fundraising concert for Obama at Penn State. The Allman Brothers opened. There are similarities between the Dead circus and the Trump circus but I don’t think there’s much overlap. One is about peace and love. The other is about ignorance, fear, intolerance, and hate.

eh at Playing in the Sand 2020 there were a few MAGAs rolling around in their gear around the pools (not the nighttime shows), but to be fair I didn't see any at the Woodlands show last weekend
