Absolutely disgusting
Really sick that 40% of Americans actually want fascism. Thier grandparents would be spinning in their graves.
Think of all the men and boys lost to WWII and today their children and grandchildren are rushing to bring on fascism. Fucking sick.
Beyond beliefs is a group of selfish people gaming the system in bad faith. It is remarkably evil and possibly the greatest societal flaw of allowing money to equal power.
Their grandparents were fascists. These were the ppl who printed pictures of lynchings and put them on postcards
At what point does astroturfing cult recruitment for political power to effect less-than-democratic control of the country rise to the definition of seditious conspiracy?
The point of January 6th, 2021
But in other settings, he and Solheim have been more candid in their evaluations: On a recent episode of the group's pidcast, Sharma attributed the underperformance of many Republican offices to the fact that members are surrounded by an army of “23-year-old shitheads” whose parents “sent them to D.C. to keep them as far away from the family business as possible.” On a different podcast, Solheim described the “common Hill staffer” as “single, unmarried, sad and going on drinking binges every night.”
Ah, so these current Republican staffers aren't pure enough. One thing about purity cults, though, is they don't ultimately grow. They inevitably shrink as the purity standards grow ever higher (which is happening to QAnon and even MAGA). It tracks that this movement is being spearheaded by mid-20-somethings who think they are life's protagonists.
However, this is a piece of Project 2025 (even if unwittingly), and these motherfuckers will at least facilitate an easier transition into authoritarian rule. The fact that in three years they already have a list of 1500 young people who they've trained and vetted, who will vie for administrative positions in DC, should concern anyone who cares about maintaining a viable democracy.
Anyone remember Tea Party?
I’m so tired of this shit.
And what this young brash group will do when it will inevitably turn out that Trump is either not running or can't, and all this shittalking of his is clearly another small part of endless grift to squeeze every ounce of money out of his immensely gullible Republican "constituency"?
Personally I think it will be like that to the end of time, as why would he want to reveal any inner workings? Heard somewhere that grifter only loose when they stop believing in their grift.
