socially aware parents to step up. Thank the gods for the internet. The truth is here for anyone who seeks it, among the BS of course. White people, the likes of trump down to the pissant white racist in the streets with a gun in hand, screaming about his/her rights, entitlement, and enjoyment of white supremacy 'perks' being taken away by those pesky POC, African-Americans specifically, are way out of f****** control.

And who will stop them? They control enough media to ensure that their lies get told. They control a majority of states because they gerrymander districts. They have turned a fair election into the lie of election fraud that is believed by a majority of Republicans and some independents. They have turned insurrection against the government into a tourist event.

They are doing everything they can to turn their voters against the undesirables—minorities, progressives, the liberal elite, intellectuals, the government, the courts, science, historical truth—everything that makes the US a democracy.

The scary part is that they’re succeeding with millions of voters. Even knowing Trump’s corruption, incompetence, and constant lying, 74 million people voted for him. That alone is frightening and what it says for our future.

Very scary, like watching a slow moving train coming at you and you can’t do anything about it.

the history books of the '50s: Davey Crockett, coonskin cap; and all other mythological teachings.
Let's erase truth and replace it with fantasy. Right? The true republican way - bury the truth: believe the lie.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

And here we are!

When Tucker Carlson uses that phrase, he means he is extremely afraid that traditional bigotry might not make the cut.
