Just days after the FBI’s seizure of election data, Trump announced a goal to “nationalize” elections, and instructed his sycophants to take over the elections of 15 as-of-yet unspecified “places.” Fulton County is likely one of them.
I’ve Witnessed Trump Weaponize Georgia Ballots for Years. Then He Stole Mine.
The FBI raid of Fulton County’s election hub is just one facet of a worrying pattern of election interference.

The rapid Stormfront-ification of Fox News and GOP media in general reveals the extent to which "palingenetic right wing ultra-nationalist populism" (i.e., fascism) has been the telos toward which much of the "American conservative movement" has been oriented since the 1940s.
Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

Since 2010, Viktor Orban and his Fidesz party have consolidated power, dismantled checks and balances, and taken control of universities, civil society, and the media. Pro-Orban groups now control 80% of the country’s media, according to Reporters Without Borders.

This is so much worse than what took down Nixon, difference was that then the media did not like Nixon and wasn't trying to help him and today the media is controlled by the Epstein-Oligarch class and so is part of the same conspiracy that Trump is and buries it
This is crazy — why is Pam Bondi *defiantly* awarding privilege to an email that was only between Jeff Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, about Donald Trump’s relationship with Epstein? www.youtube.com/shorts/eAbuj...

As someone whose first name is Scottish (Maxwell) and last name is Irish, with roots back to Ulster, I'm delighted the first thing he says is how the Scotch-Irish no longer have any pride. Sure thing, buddy. Same with how this all connects to Bad Bunny, notorious for, I guess, erasing Ireland?
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

As a German, I'll never fully understand the Third Reich worship of the American far right.
They do understand that the Third Reich *lost*, right? That the tough, belligerent, ethnically pure master race got thoroughly defeated and its country conquered by a diverse multi-ethnic coalition?
