Republicans aren't just repeating Russian propaganda by accident. They know the truth and are choosing to side with Russia over America’s allies. That’s not incompetence—it’s collaboration.

Imagine bulldozing a rose garden to build a tacky ballroom—funded by money stolen from kids with cancer. Not corruption, but a masterclass in soulless greed.

Elon Musk isn’t a business genius—he’s richest man in the world because he’s robbing you blind. He’s sucked billions from taxpayers while demanding you get nothing.

Bootstraps for thee, welfare checks for him. Funny how the GOP hates “illegal aliens” unless they’re billionaires looting the country.

We’re social scientists. We can’t solve everything, but we make sure you *really* get what’s wrong with it.

Remember when ‘80s movies warned about a Soviet invasion? Now the GOP is begging to be occupied. The U.S. just sided with Russia at the UN, betraying Ukraine and our allies. The party of “Better dead than red” is now Putin’s lapdog. No Wolverines this time—just Republicans rolling over.

We're hiring a fully funded PhD student in #sociology here in wonderful Copenhagen!

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally.

The GOP isn’t "drifting toward fascism"—they’re sprinting there, right arm raised, tripping over themselves to prove who loves their wannabe dictator the most. They’re not just allowing it. They’re actively rewriting reality to justify it.

Trump says Ukraine "should never have started it." Ah yes, classic move: rewrite history while everyone is still alive to remember it. Russia launched a full-scale invasion. That's been documented since day one.

Janja Lalich: “Cults espouse an all-encompassing belief system, demand devotion to the leader, and suppress criticism.” Trump’s team fired probationary staff and is loyalty-testing every hire. Expertise? Irrelevant. Dissent? Eliminated. This isn’t governance—it’s a suicide pact with a ballot box.

RFK Jr. fans hear "wellness camps" and think yoga retreats. History hears forced labor, re-education, and state-mandated detention. He wants the “unwell” cut off from the outside world and put to work on farms. If you support this, congrats—you just reinvented the gulag, but with juice cleanses.

The good news: No tanks in this coup, no dramatic overthrow. The bad news: The U.S. government is being gutted and rebuilt in the image of a corporate monarchy, Curtis Yarvin-style—and it’s all happening through policy. Welcome to the Dark Enlightenment (NRx) in action. 🧵👇

Ernest Hemingway, in his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls, reflects on the nature of fascism through a character's dialogue:

"Are you a communist?"
"No I am an anti-fascist."
"For a long time?"
"Since I have understood fascism."

Henry A. Wallace once said: "If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States."

Was reading an NPR article and came across this quote from Kristin Hickman: "It is not healthy for our body politic for us to overreact and roll around a lot of overheated rhetoric...". www.npr.org/2025/02/12/n...

Created a custom GPT to chat with because it never calls me crazy. It just calmly references sociology textbooks, political history, and case studies on why people in power do the same dumb things over and over. LMK if you want me to ask it anything for you.

Talking power, politics, and society. Love weird rabbit holes, inconvenient truths, and the occasional "wow, we’ve learned nothing." After all, sociology is just the scientific way of saying, ‘Y’all see this, right?’
