Speaking of historically accurate #fascism and how to bring it about... Welcome to the new Trump® RNC #cult of believers:

Top NAACP Boss Warns of “Nazism Part Two” if Trump Is Elected

#truth

“It’s not about candidate A versus candidate B. It’s not about this political party versus that political party. It’s about whether or not we have a #democracy or we have #fascism. Period. Full stop”

TIME AND AGAIN I am surprised how people who adorn themselves with being OH SO VERY #SPIRITUAL, with #BUDDHISM and #MINDFULNESS … people who praise #COMPASSION in speech or writing … how they FAIL TO REALIZE that their consumption and use of animal products (meat, dairy, leather …) depends on the #suffering of #Nonhuman_Persons, on #captivity, #exploitation, #forced_labour, #torture, and finally, #murder.

Folks, that’s #LIP_SERVICE_SPIRITUALITY.

THEN I REMEMBER how I did the same, how I was in that same state of #denial, for most of my life, even when I was vegetarian: I still ate cheese, curd, eggs, and I wore leather shoes and belts, thus showing the other animals that I am powerful enough to clothe me in their skins, a permanent menace to them!

'A frightened little boy, deep down': Defendant Trump struggling with new status: Mary Trump

For anyone interested in the Stable Genius' thinking, and/or #psychology / #psychopathology
Here's someone who knows him better than nearly anyone, a clinical psychologist, and Trump's niece.

She's often spoken about his family crimes to his own family, and his generally living in a delusional world.... and his use of #media

Snippets: "That used to be strategy... temper tantrums-... it's not strategy any more,.." And into his "fear of humiliation", so strong "he cannot course correct". And the axiom I know to be true: With our 'defenses' against conscious awareness of unwanted thought - Freud said - we blot out reality & project, deny, etc. Therapists/analysts know very well: It is easier to feel anger than pain. Explains a lot.

If you can't question it, or take opposition to it, it's not science, it's dogma or propaganda.

If you can't inquire into the veracity of it, or deny it, it's not history, it's dogma or propaganda.

A proposition that's true will withstand critical scrutiny; a proposition that's false, but presented as true, requires protection.

Control of information is control of understanding is control of perceptions is control of choices is control of societies.

See there was no problem, none whatsoever

The Supreme Court is speaking with one voice in response to recent criticism of the justices’ ethical practices: No need to fix what isn’t broken.

The justices’ response on Tuesday struck some critics and ethics experts as tone deaf at a time of heightened attention on the justices’ travel and private business transactions. That comes against the backdrop of a historic dip in public approval as measured by opinion polls.

Deeply divided on some of the most contentious issues of the day — including abortion, gun rights and the place of religion in public life — the court’s six conservatives and three liberals seem united on this particular principle: on ethics they will set their own rules and police themselves.

Charles Geyh, an Indiana University law professor and legal ethics expert, said everything the justices detailed Tuesday evening about ethics was essentially outlined in Chief Justice John Roberts’ annual year-end report from 2011, more than a decade ago.

“They’re basically saying ... What we’ve been doing is just fine. Let’s just re-say it for those of you at the back...That just strikes me as, you know, pretty empty,” Geyh said.

The most recent stories about the questionable ethics practices of justices began earlier this month. First came a ProPublica investigation that revealed that Thomas has for more than two decades accepted luxury trips nearly every year from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow without reporting them on financial disclosure forms. Thomas responded by issuing a statement saying that he was not required to disclose the trips.

From their headline to G-d's ears.

Opinion: The GOP's magic words have lost their magic

Amazing to hear the #GQP #seditionists spouting off - without yet even knowing the charges - about how "Americans will never stand for this!". B.S. The same people who celebrated #sedition and #insurrection aa tourism and patriotism are surely on board with MTG and Tucker, revving up gun-talk and leapfrogging over #justice, #accountability, #truth, #reality, into #MTG LooneyLand powered by #Fox and #TrumpVirus variants still spreading the hate, Big Lie, denial, and division. #indictment #crime #treason #cult #denial

#GQP - Business as usual

I.e., lies, fear/hate mongering, #disinformation, #sedition, #denial, #projection, gibberish and dog whistles, fueled by FoxMike Lee feigns shock at the suggestion of what he actually said... "facts are funny things".... And fact is, many #GQP / #TrumpVirus cultists are out to destroy the things dearest to most (non-billionaire) Americans. Be mindful, even if you'll be ridiculed as woke for seeing reality.

#TrumpVirus contagion still alive & well in #DeathSantis/#GQP land. Sad. Sick.
Finally we are returning to #truth and #law and so the #seditionist choir are screaming to stop, & that the enemy is OUR FBI. Law.

Liz Cheney blasts GOP's 'sickening comments' about FBI's Mar-a-Lago search warrant

I can't believe I'm saying this but G-d Bless Liz Cheney! She has nothing to lose & has gained a lot of respect, regardless of history, affiliation. etc. She sees #truth and speaks it to #corrupt power, AKA the #GQP / #Fox disinformation, division, & hate machine.
