"This time, it’s not one election at stake: it’s all American elections, which, Trump tell us, should be 'nationalized' and managed by Republicans to fight the kinds of fraud and interference which deprived him of his 2020 win. ...
The more unpopular an autocrat becomes, the more he needs his lies to create the reality necessary to keep himself in power. That is where we are now in the United States."

"The Big Lie is back, and its revival marks an escalation. The first time, it supported the mission of overturning one election that didn’t go the way the Lie’s creator, President Donald Trump, needed it to go."

"Trump’s determination to prove that he actually won the 2020 election continues to drive the administration. This morning, in a rambling and often crazed speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump told attendees: 'They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego.'"

When conservatives claim that lefty #protests are not organic but instead are the product of #propaganda and big orgs, what do they think groups like #TurningPointUSA are? Do they ever wonder why if these groups exist and are so powerful, why we don't have universal health care like in every other advanced nation? Do they think that's where the civil rights and antiwar protests came from too?
The stuff they like and associated groups are organic, but you'd have to be manipulated to disagree.

Prof Murphy doesn’t just write about economic matters (as the title of his blog page implies), here he talks about #StateSponsoredFascism as it applies to the #UK — and likely to #Australia just as well — and how the #TrumpAdministration is fomenting and promoting right-wing heresy in #Europe, through various think-tanks which it funds.

Josh Hawley Trots Out Trans Panic Attacks On Netflix To Help Larry Ellison Buy CNN, HBO
We’ve been talking about how the Trump GOP is launching an all out attack on Netflix’s proposed merger with Warner Brothers. Not because they care about antitrust or corporate power, but because they really want Trump-allied billionaire Larry Ellison to buy Warner Brothers, CNN, and HBO. It’s part of their unsubtle plan to acquire what’s […]

The printing press was invented in 1440 and freed humanity from intellectual enslavement.
500 years later #TV was invented and we obligingly refastened shackles.
They won’t come off again until we stop consuming the #billionaire priest’s #propaganda.
Here, on #mastodon, in the #fediverse, we begin the #revolution.
