When they go low, we go low. But do it for democracy. Republicans don't care about hypocrisy or lies, they don't care about decorum or rules. How do you fight back against an enemy that doesn't care at all? Meet them where they are. Namely, use their playbook against them: coordinate between universities, think tanks, the media, and government to push democratic, leftist ideology into every aspect of society. They already think we're doing this. Might as well actually start conspiring. 🥐Thank you Wildgrain for sponsoring.

Yesterday Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden featuring a new level of bigotry and hate. It recalled scenes of a N*zi sympathizer rally at the same location in 1939, the year Germany invaded Poland. Many were scandalized when Harris recently openly called Trump a fascist. But was she wrong? This episode will hopefully convince you that she, unequivocally, was not. Please vote.

A network of ultra-right Christian Nationalists that make the Moral Majority look like child's play are working to take over the US government and JD Vance is their perfect Trojan Horse. These men want the rule of law to be based on the 10 commandments, to rescind women's right to vote, and to finally create "one nation, under [one] God." This is some Handmaid's Tale realness that is giving un-American theocracy. And they are lapping up everything JD Vance is saying.   To Understand JD Vance, You Need to Meet the “TheoBros”, Mother Jones https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/09/theobros-jd-vance-christian-nationalism/   Get 50% off your first order of Sundays.
