the Republican Party checks off almost all of these.

• powerful and continuing nationalism: MAGA and America First
• disdain for human rights: the ongoing trans genocide and their support for the Palestinian genocide
• identification of enemies as an unifying cause: the “woke” fearmongering
• supremacy of the military: Trump has waffled between praising the military and calling them “losers”, so not quite yet
• rampant sexism: reinforcement of traditional gender roles and the “tradwife” movement
• controlled mass media: inside their sphere, yeah. Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN breathlessly hang on to every word Republican figures say
• obsession with national security: bOrdEr WAlL!
• religion and government intertwined: anti-abortion policies universally have religious justifications for them, plus several Republicans have said (and seem to sincerely believe) that Trump was ordained by Jesus
• corporate power protected: corporate tax cuts and the withering of regulatory agencies under Republican leadership
• labor power suppressed: the logical corollary to the above
• disdain for intellectuals and the arts: distrust of experts and scientific endeavors
• obsession with crime and punishment: running on being “hard on crime”
• rampant cronyism and corruption: Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s undeclared trips from Republican donors are likely just the tip of the iceberg
• fraudulent elections: not yet, and hopefully never 🤞

he’s gonna stiff the contractors? great, now all his teleprompters are going to be broken

anything but the metric system

bikes don’t need pavement, just good wheels

post title is misleading. it won’t make criticizing Israel illegal, but it will be legally considered hate

get another joke

brakes are woke and socialist and full of CRT, real Americans stick their foot out the door and shred their boots on the road to stop their car
