Not that I think you can understand, but the shortest version of the very long and complicated story Nazis told to all Germans was that Germans are the Master Race and Jews cause all of Germany's problems. Where did that popular story take Germany, 6ix? The Nazis never were a majority of Germans, but every German got caught in that story.

The shortest version of the very long and complicated story slave-owners told to all Americans was that Whites are the Master Race and abolitionists cause all of America's problems. Where did that popular story take America, 6ix? The slave-owners never were a majority of Americans, but every American got caught in that story.

The shortest version of the very long and complicated story Trump and his voters tell all Americans is that White Americans are the Master Race and Democrats cause all of America's problems. I know where that popular story is taking America, 6ix. The Trump voters have never been a majority of Americans, but every American is caught in that story.

It is excellent that you mentioned Hitler, 6ix. Trump has books full of Hitler's speeches to Germans. Both leaders knew the power storytelling has over fools. Even today, Germans think they are the smartest Europeans, but Germans are fooling themselves. Trump voters think they are the smartest Americans, also fooling themselves.

Why did Germans follow the Nazis?

No. YOU mentioned Hitler, you fuckin' goon.

You're only one IQ point smarter than Ted who would have actually said his name.

Nobody cares about your incorrect opinions on anything, little boy.

Actually, this all started with the fake stories told in history. Nazis' story was that Jews cause all of Germany's problems. Confederates' story was that Abolitionists cause all of America's problems. Republicans' story is that Democrats cause all of America's problems. Republicans have been saying it for years. 6ix has even said it: "Democrats are Cancer."

Here is the Republicans' Story. (Just in case you misunderstand, the Republican story is false, just like the Confederate story and the Nazi story):

Republicans believe they are fighting for democracy

Author Kevin Drum

Let's talk about the demise of democracy and how Republicans are trying to save it.

Wait. Republicans? I meant Democrats, right?

That's certainly how I see it. It's also how nearly all of you see it. But it's not the way everyone sees it. Republicans, in particular, have been convinced for a very long time that Democrats routinely steal elections. I wrote about this ten years ago in "The Dog That Voted and Other Election Fraud Yarns," https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/07/voter-suppression-kevin-d
rum
/ and the following ten years have done nothing except cement this belief even further into the Republican psyche.

Do Republicans really believe this? Among party leaders, I don't know. Some always have. Some have convinced themselves just from saying it so often. And some probably don't but play along cynically.

Likewise, among the rank and file, some are believers and some aren't. But as time has passed, and both Fox News and party leaders have unceasingly hammered on this, more and more conservative voters have turned into believers. Trust in elections went down to a dismal 60% in 2008 and stayed there throughout the Obama years even as Republicans won landslide victories in congressional elections. It rebounded a bit during the Trump presidency, but by 2020 trust had already fallen back to about 60%. After the election it fell off a cliff:



What do you do if Democrats show disdain for fair voting? What if you've tried and tried to get them to clean up their corrupt ward bosses, fake voters, and laughable urban vote counts, but none of it has worked? Answer: You fight back harder. Because American democracy is on its last legs and someone has to do it.

So the stage was all set for Republicans to go ballistic after the 2020 election. They'd known Democrats were cheating for a long time, but never had it been this brazen. Never had Democrats managed to steal the presidency. It was time for war.

If the only way to ensure a fair vote was to restrict early voting and mail voting and other easy targets for cheating, so be it. If Democrats refused to get rid of crooked precinct counters, then Republicans would have to dive into local politics and do it themselves. And if even that wasn't enough, they'd have to reserve the right to let Republican legislatures intervene to make sure that votes were counted accurately.

Naturally, Democrats would fuss and fume and insist that it was Republicans who were playing dirty. But nobody outside their lackeys in the press actually believed that. It was all just pretense. The truth was simpler: Democrats had been all but open about their corruption for years, and in 2020 they finally went too far. Democracy—and America itself—was at stake now. If they wanted war, it was war they'd get.

Coming from you? TL;DR

I couldn't possibly care less about your opinion on anything, Second.


Did you see your boy Biden* fucked up a teleprompter read at Dole's funeral?

There's a thread devoted to you now.

If you are a Republican who believes Republicans are protecting Democracy, I have news for you. There are Republican documents that say Republicans are in the business of stealing Democracy.

Full PowerPoint presentation on overthrowing the free and fair US 2020 election, from Mark Meadows emails. Much of this was implemented by Trump cronies.

I'm not a Republican, you dumb shit.

Republicans won't have anything to steal because Democrats are destroying democracy.

Who could have predicted that allowing a misogynist sex criminal to pick three Supreme Court Justices would turn out badly for women?

Chief Justice John Roberts warns Trump’s Supreme Court Justices over Texas abortion law

The chief justice of the United States, John Roberts, warned Friday that the Supreme Court risks losing its own authority if it allows states to circumvent the courts as Texas did with its near-total abortion ban.

In a strongly worded opinion joined by the high court’s three liberal justices, Roberts wrote that the "clear purpose and actual effect" of the Texas law was "to nullify this Court’s rulings." That, he said, undermines the Constitution and the fundamental role of the Supreme Court and the court system as a whole. Roberts wrote, “Texas has employed an array of stratagems designed to shield its unconstitutional law from judicial review.” Indeed, “if the legislatures of the several states may, at will, annul the judgments of the courts of the United States, and destroy the rights acquired under those judgments, the constitution itself becomes a solemn mockery.” https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-463_3ebh.pdf

The opinion was a remarkable plea by the chief justice to his colleagues on the court to resist the efforts by right-wing lawmakers to get around court decisions they dislike. But in this case, his urgent request was largely ignored by the justices on the court who were appointed by Trump.
