Mary Morrissey apologizes after being filmed dumping liquid into backpack of Democratic legislator Jim Carroll
Jesus, is every single Republican lawmaker a complete piece of shit these days? I’ve often felt like the party that is all about tax cuts for the rich and making sure no one gets a handout attracts a disproportionate number of terrible human beings, but once upon a time I felt like a lot of them were decent, wrong-headed people. Now I’m not sure I can name a single Republican who seems like a decent human being. Maybe Liz Chaney is mostly there? So many are like cartoon villains.
At their core, many are just bullies and it nicely appeals to the emotionally stunted desires of their base.
I recently watched a Nazi documentary on Netflix, and the parallels beyond concerning. If Trump is elected, you should expect Brown Shirt like violence.
For those who think my statement is alarmist, it takes time for fascist propaganda to build inertia, and we’re somewhere in the middle of the progression. If you’re paying attention, you can see and hear the rhetoric getting more violent. They are following a similar playbook to the Nazis by stimulating the rural communities with more and more nationalist rhetoric.
It’s not at all a surprise that some of the earliest MAGA alarmists were Holocaust survivors
Very much so and that’s one of the great lessons of the last 8 years. Yet we still have people saying “it hasn’t happened yet”.
It’s pretty hard to be a good person while denying the working class medical benefits.
Or a living wage, or a decent education.
