I'm always looking for facts that would prove to me, that what I'm seeing & hearing come out of the mouths of these fascist, democracy deconstructors, is the opposite of what I'm witnessing. I plead, to be wrong. Willing to be the dumb one who wakes from a nightmare. I've not yet been proven wrong.
Why Does the Right Seem So Stupid?
This is not a rhetorical question.

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...
I found a second vote.gov — and it's registered to the White House

We can’t sit any of these elections out, folks. Primary and general. This goes for local and state. We all have a role to play. Not voting isn’t an option anymore. Not voting is a vote for the enemy.
There is no justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth at the very top. It’s distorting our politics, rigging our markets and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

In meeting with South Africa's president, Trump showed an article with a picture of body bags and said those were the bodies of white South Africans killed in the country. The images were screen grabs from a video of the Republic of the Congo, not South Africa. www.reuters.com/world/africa...
