If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can unilaterally withhold $4 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress that his regime deemed “wasteful.” Meanwhile, he’s happy to bail out his authoritarian pal in Argentina to the tune of $20 billion. Talk about wasteful.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

“woke right” comes from this incredibly stupid meta idea that “wokeness” is a discrete tendency in american politics whose style has been imbibed by the political right. note: believing this requires you to be almost totally ignorant of the shape of american politics going back to the 1930s.
