This. They are turning the wealth the American people have created over generations into cash for their own dirty pockets. It’s obscene.
MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts,

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Here's the thing, though: "Loving your country," "upholding the the rule of law," and "follow[ing] the facts and the law without fear or favor" or all partisan positions now. That is the problem the press will not admit.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is sworn in:
“I love my country.”
“I am not a politician & I hold no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law.”

Quite the encapsulation of how racism, anti-immigrant hatred, sexism & patriarchy & trying to return women to the home, & the neglect of early childhood/ willingness to harm children, are all bound up in one another.

There’s room for somebody on the left to wrap themselves in the flag a little & make a point that the right’s rejection of America as a creedal nation—and their ad hoc, ahistorical effort to make it an ethnonationalist project instead—is distinctly *unamerican,* a rejection of the national project.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

These are the same people who dismissed countless public and private studies that showed conclusively that right-wing violence was, by far, the most pressing threat in America.
Now they're going to concoct something that purports to blame the left.
Once again, it's all projection and bad faith.

Exactly this. And it is important to overwhelm their systems before they're up and running. The corollary to "courage is contagious" is that everyone has to stand up *early*, not wait for others to go first. The sooner everyone demonstrates that their machine can't possibly do this, the better.
Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.
