MAGA voters think they're morlocks and are expecting a tasty feast of eloi, but they're just the second course.

More evidence that these glib liars have no consciences. MAGA voters are like Lenny asking to be told about the rabbits before they're shot, except the shooters aren't sparing them suffering, they're the lynch mob itself. ("Of Mice and Men" reference)

It is going to take so long to restore our reputation as a country that does the right thing after we've tried everything else. Right now we are one of the world's villains, alongside Russia, Hungary, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. We are a cautionary tale to the world.

If you love this country, if you want it to thrive, if you want it to be a positive influence on the world despite our current fallen state, you will not vote for Republicans. Republicans bring us only shame. Conservatism is poison. People can enjoy it as they do alcohol. It feels good. It kills.

58 billionaire spenders have spent over $18.4M in the NYC mayoral race to boost Cuomo and attack Zohran Mamdani. Why are they so scared of Zohran? Because they know he will end their unchecked power over working people and build a city that works for the working class.

A thought about rhetoric like this: they've got no good ideas. Their mind goes first to violence and oppression. Then they stay there in their happy place. Violence isn't the trump card they think it is. Don't be intimidated by their constant threats. They use them because they have nothing else.

- It is legal to organize and fund protest. - That someone organizes and funds promotion of a protest does not mean most, some, or any protesters are paid. - Even if all protesters are paid, that is also legal - It is good to oppose kings and fascism - That's not what what "begs the question" means

Just like the internet was driven by porn from day one, crypto has been driven by corruption and financing crime from day one. It isn't about escaping oppressive government control and abuse. It's about abusing and oppressing outside of government control.
