Hey Elon, we're not the brainwashed idiots. You are.

Elon said that the New York Times is "far left brainwashing". There's no such thing. He is the brainwashed idiot. He went down the internet conspiracy theory wormhole like so many of the deluded have done over the last 6 years since that guy who we inexplicably called president got elected. You can make that claim all you want but it isn't true. You can't provide any examples of that other than the New York Times or MSNBC, which do that weird thing called "reporting facts" and not "conspiracy theory bullshit".

I can, however, provide thousands of examples of far right brainwashing, and that shit is everywhere. There's Tucker Carlson, and Sean Hannity, and everyone on Fox News. There's Christian megachurch hate pastors. There's OAN and Newsmax, there's the New York Post and Washington Examiner. There's Sinclair Broadcasting. There's Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, Candace Owens, TPUSA, Infowars, hundreds of right wing podcasts and Youtube channels, I could go on and on.

We get what? One hour of Rachel Maddow a night? Shit, let us at least have that. And conservatives think that she's on the same level as Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. Bull fucking shit. Right wing propaganda has a stranglehold on like half of the country and those who go down the wormhole aren't coming back any time soon. "Left wing propaganda" as you put it, doesn't split up families or inspire real world violence (like the Paul Pelosi attack or last night's night club shooting) and death threats or encourage people to dip their testes in orange goo to prove their "manliness". That's your side. Either you in the real world, or you live in batshit red pill make believe conspiracy theory fantasy world. I choose to live in the real world. I'm tired of this fucking bullshit.

Moms for Liberty-backed school board members fire superintendent, ban critical race theory

On Tuesday evening, the Berkeley County School District in South Carolina swore in the board members who were elected last week, including six who received endorsements from the conservative activist group Moms for Liberty.

Within two hours, the school board had voted to fire the district’s first Black superintendent, terminate the district’s lawyer, ban critical race theory and set up a new committee to decide whether certain books and materials should be banned from schools.

Additionally, the board voted to replace the existing chair with Mac McQuillin, a local attorney and one of the board members backed by Moms for Liberty.

The rapid moves Tuesday in Berkeley County, the fourth largest school district in the state, showed the impact of Moms for Liberty’s focus on electing conservative school board members, and prompted uproar among some community members in attendance.

This is why I say every election matters. Get these fascist religious Fox addicted assholes out of our school boards. Books should not be banned and thought should not be policed. Moms For Liberty, go fuck yourselves.

The "Give Me That, It's Mine" wing of the GOP already discussing a recall:

Seriously, TP USA is the political equivalent of the child screaming in Target because his parents won't buy him a toy until they cave in and do. Go away, TP USA, the adults are in charge. When we want a bunch of screaming children to run things, we'll call you.

No one wants to hear your pitty parties in the middle of nowhere, ok?

Please, sports reporters, for the love of god, stop the "Houston, we have a problem" jokes.

It wasn't funny the first time, it's not going to be funny the 500 millionth time. Stop it, now!

Fox News is deliberately responsible for what happened today.

There is no mistaking this. Everyone in the GOP and on Fox News - Hannity, Carlson, Watters, Ingraham, Pirro or Boebert, Greene, Kirk, Owens.... the list goes on and on. My point is that they have been "joking" or winking and nudging their minions to assassinate, harass,stalk, or threaten to murder democratically elected representatives and officials for the last 7 years now 24 hours a day. What the fuck did they expect was going to happen? You can't egg people on like that and expect that no one is going to act.

Just look at the kind of mind that Trump attracts. He attracts people who are disconnected from regular society. People who are angry. People who have personality and social disorders. He's made worshipping himself into a religion and inspires hate and harassment all over the world. Trump brought out the worst in people, and Fox News is deliberately egging them on 24 hours a day. They are denying election results and sucking up to religious fascists. They really need to be treated as an enemy of the state. They do not have the best interests of the United States at hand. It's some absolutely sick and twisted behavior and it needs to stop now.

This fucking bullshit will get people killed.

Fuck you, Mastriano, your sorry ass should be rotting in prison.
