That One Weird Trick Guaranteed to Make Any Republican Berserk With Rage




Public fact checking. 

From Politico:
How Covid-19 pushed Twitter to fact-check Trump’s tweets

The company is taking the lessons learned from countering tweets that could endanger people’s health and applying them to Trump’s Twitter feed.

And everyone who has ever had any interactions with their own Crazy Uncle Liberty over the past 30 years knows exactly what happens next.

First comes the "OMFG!  Libtards are stealing my Freedumbs!" hysteria:
The comes the ominous, generalized threats:


Because paranoia, phantom conspiracies, racism, rage and constant, constant, constant lying are the binding energies that keeps the Conservative movement and the Republican Party together and moving as one.

In my direct experience I have noticed that Republicans have become so debased by automatically deflecting, denying and screeching about "Soros!" every time they are rebutted with facts that they no longer feel the need to form anything that resembles complete thoughts or sentences.

Instead they have internalized the ritualized depravity of their tribe to the point where they genuinely believe that they have a sacred Right to Lie unchallenged and unmolested -- a belief which now comes out of their mouths as a series of incoherent grunts.

"The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat". An incoherent grunt disguised as a complete sentence.

Trump and his Republican enablers are simply setting up for what comes after Trump is voted out. Their pretend outrage and victimhood is pathetic.

Oh no, now more twitter tales from the lump of Trump town. Now he'll have to have a daily radio broadcast to spew forth his filthy frothy twaddle and that will be much harder work than sitting on the golden crapper tip tapping away his every whimsy and derangement. Oh mores the pity for lumpy of lumpville. Maybe he can scribble little notes and hand them of to his lap poodles to have them tossed from airplanes like scraps of paper used to wipe poodle doo-doo from his shoes. Just think of it doo-doo scraps of paper everywhere...what better way to spread derangement far and wide.

That is what the GOP senate court packing with extreme believers who will not rule from the law but what the GOP ideology wants the law to be.

All the tax cuts and all the bail outs to the wealthy GOP donors is for the purpose of funding their party politics with tax dollars and to provide welfare to their most worthy republicans who maylose their socialist paid job in Congress/ government.
Watch and see for things like Steve Miller (EL immigrant punisher extraordinaire). What employer will hire him once out of office and for what>
You see Steve Bannon after fired is right wing billionaire funded to spread white supremacy as nationalism in Europe like he did here.
