Trump lies that other countries don’t use mail-in voting — and plainly says out loud that it’s about suppressing Democratic votes, not fraud

Conservative Christian Republicans are more outraged at the thought of a child receiving a free lunch at school than they are at the thought of their Dear Leader raping children.

Let history remember that this loathsome monster was inciting Rabin’s murder back in the day for trying to make peace.
Nobody can say they didn’t know, didn’t see, couldn’t have imagined.
This was as inevitable as all the steps that preceded it when he’s left unchecked.
No conscience.

〝Right-wing information spaces treat the lies as established fact, similar to how Star Wars and Marvel fans talk about canon. Republicans in Congress have to go along with Trump’s latest lies when asked, but some try to avoid that by lying that they didn’t see what he said.〞
"This is considered impolite to point out in many mainstream venues, but to be a Republican in good standing today, you have to believe, or at least go along with, an insane amount of lies."
Firing the BLS Director for reporting monthly jobs data institutionalizes that lying, imposing it on others.

To Live Inside a Lie
Firing the top labor statistics official for doing the normal monthly jobs report is only the last attempt to force everyone else to abandon reality too

So, who wants to be the one to tell Marge that the philosophy that women are human beings deserving to be treated with the same regard and due respect as men is called "feminism?"
Stand back when you do it, though. She might blow up like a computer on the original Star Trek.

Jewish people constituted 0.75% of the German population in 1933.
First they came for the socialists etc. What if they came for some really small marginalized group of people (0.05% of population), and because we tied ourselves in knots trying to keep everyone happy, we never got into power, and never achieved anything.

Most regular folks don't wake up worrying about institutions. They have more immediate concerns.
But once you live through a period when core institutions fail, you start paying attention, and historical memory is rebuilt for a time.
We're going through one of those moments now.
