Representative government was fine as long as the uppity women, people of color, & gays knew their place. But when they started demanding equality & a level playing field, well, we can't have that, now can we?
The party is so extreme & hypocritical that it's impacted my opinion of people I know who still identify as republicans.

(22,418 posts)It looks like there was an effort underway to try and remove the microphone and that crazed smirk screams psychopath to me.
Imo, posting this crap just feeds the narrative.
Why do we continue to signal boost these magats and their idiot leader?

I still don't understand why people continue to signal boost the madness. There is the law of attraction, of which I am a firm believer, that supports the fact that "whatever you focus your attention, on you strengthen."
Enough already! We need to be focusing our attention on what we are going to do to get ourselves out of this mess. Please! Our attention is our most vital tool!
Thanks for the reply, FiveGoodMen.

And the moment Peter Thiel stepped on stage at the Republican National Conference, you all knew what was coming next.... if you had read this 2013 article explaining the Neo-Reactionary movement.
https://techcrunch.com/2013/11/22/geeks-for-monarchy/
Neoreactionaries believe that while technology and capitalism have advanced humanity over the past couple centuries, democracy has actually done more harm than good. They propose a return to old-fashioned gender roles, social order and monarchy.
You may have seen them crop-up on tech hangouts like Hacker News and Less Wrong, having cryptic conversations about Moldbug and the Cathedral. And though neoreactionaries arent exactly rampant in the tech industry, PayPal founder Peter Thiel has voiced similar ideas, and Pax Dickinson, the former CTO of Business Insider, says hes been influenced by neoreactionary thought. It may be a small, minority world view, but its one that I think shines some light on the psyche of contemporary tech culture.
Here's a better summary written after his appearance at the convention.

Peter Thiels plan to become CEO of America
The infamous investor has made a long shot bet on Trump to make the United States more like a monarchy, disrupt its decadent bureaucracy, and revive the status of myth and hierarchy in society.

As a matter of fact, we fight against those who choose brutal dictatorships.
MAGAts belong on a list of terrorists and need to be dealt with accordingly.
They, by their own words, are a clear and present danger to our Country, Constitution and her citizens.
The first shots have been fired.

The Trump administration had already canceled a grant for a group that fights white supremacist terror.

(870 posts)You really have no idea what the people are standing for or what Bannon is clapping at. If there were only several seconds of cheering while she was walking off stage, that would do it for me. I believe there are MAGAts that would cheer if 45 was a dictator, but this video isn't proving it.
Id be wary of reposting a video that is obviously edited.

(11,882 posts)As trump did in his roll out of his running where people were paid to attend and act for them. Now he probably has people suggesting this to others for promotion , and projection for his absolute control push to bypass Congress with. Any Senator backing trump now is a treasonous traitor to this country, its Constitution ,and to the American people by not serving us, protecting us, or upholding the rule of law they sworn taking their oath they would do. They all should be targeted for removal from office for supporting trump to do this. This is anti Democracy, and anti American. trump and the hate group behind him are working to undermine OUR government to have their government like putin has in russia. These Senators have no idea he'll bypass them too soon if they give him any more power. Anyone helping trump is really helping putin destabilize our country , and our government , not making anything great again, unless you like brutal cruel corrupt criminals run our country too. Put treasonous corrupt criminal politicians in cages , not babies.
