Discussion of the overt fascism now promoted openly by one of the two major parties in the US continues — because of course.

"They want him to violate every one of the Ten Commandments in public view. ...

Nothing you tell a convinced Trump voter about Trump’s qualifications, problems or likely actions matters to them. In fact, you are only convincing them more. Everything you fear and loathe about Trump is a recommendation to them."

And (my footnote), they may very well get their way, this election cycle.

@wdlindsy they're quoting the cult missives, which should be shut down...

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@geonz When you refer to cult missives, I'm not quite clear what you mean. Can you please help me understand?

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@sakata_m Thank you for voicing those concerns. Election workers really need a lot of reinforcement and support, seems to me. And, no, I think the dumbasses don't even reflect that the election workers are counting their votes, too.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Npars01 Yes, you're exactly right about that. Heather Cox Richardson's book on how the South won the Civil War is magisterial on that topic.

@wdlindsy

Excellent, excellent book!

Highly recommended.

@wdlindsy
"Have they really thought through what they're proposing ..."

No, they haven't. They are firmly the "belief-based people", and they don't value or use thinking through stuff

@wdlindsy on Musk's site it used to be if somebody posted nonsense it was at *least* ridiculed and called out, if not actually removed. Now, it's getting cheers and boosts.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@geonz You're absolutely right. To call it a cesspool is an understatement.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@mloxton Well-noted. When one has the truth — because of one's belief-based system — why let facts, logic, reason, what history has to teach us matter?

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Npars01 I agree!
