The guy in the 70s powder-blue suit...the guy on the far left looks like a clown doing a cowboy theme...the guy in jeans and suspenders just twirling a handkerchief in what is probably not a signal that he’s a power bottom.

And the guy in the purple paisley tie and pocket square holding the book titled Faith like he’s in a political cartoon. It’s truly a feast for the eyes.

Don't you tell me my business again.

All a democrat would have to do - like, pretend Obama was still president - is just tell everyone to never enter their homes, kiss everyone they meet and never wash your hands and CHUDS would entomb themselves inside sterile plastic bubbles. CNN says "no big deal, nothing to worry about with C19" and these idiots would be screaming about the fake news media secretly trying to get them killed.

Maybe we should try it.

Next democratic president just goes "go buy a lot of guns, be real mean to those gays, don't vote for socialist UHC and never unionize". See what happens.

How long do you think “loudly proclaim the bad side is doing what we are doing while pretending we aren’t doing it” can work as an effective strategy? One would hope that our collective cognitive immune system would eventually develop a protection for this kind of scam, but it’s been effective for at least a century and probably longer. Is it just part of the human condition?

and that's in loving San Antone, a city with many millions of reasonably intelligent people. The response ten miles away in New Braunfels, population like 75,000 plus tourists, has been "gently caress it, the river is open, everything's open, we can't stop you, go hog wild" and in a week we're gonna hear about 800 cases popping up in hill country because holy balls we are stupid motherfuckers.

Well, given that's a cornerstone of fascism, Portugal has the longest running fascist regime in history (1933-1974). So about 41 years. Given I'd argue America's descent into modern fascism happened under Reagan, in theory 2021 should be the year America gets its loving act together.

Sadly your countryfellows elected a senile dipshit to counter the worst government in American history.

Yeah, it'll work for at least within my lifetime. Karl Rove perfected it and weaponized it. See: Swift Boat Veterans against Kerry when Bush was the real draft dodger and how Obama was branded as a fascist. My sense of optimism is totally gone. The whole "accuse your opponent of the bullshit that you're pulling" is weirdly effective and has the effect of putting the people who in the right on the defensive and reducing to them "nuh uh, YOU'RE the meanie". I chalk it up to most of us being worked so hard just to survive that most of us can't take the time to discern the truth.

Look at how many FOX, Breitbart, OANN and AM talk radio listeners are calling out MSM as "fake" while they've practically turned it into an art. Bots and Facebook noise. I talk to a few conservative right wing people in my neighborhood and work place and it's creepy how much they sound like robots.

And I'd argue are first real genuine attempt at fascism started with Nixon but he was dumb enough to record his crimes and that was back when Republicans still somewhat cared about being caught doing evil things. Now they just do it right in front of our loving face and then deny it. Obfuscation and attrition designed to wear down any sort of critical thinking. No wonder they don't want to fund education.

These 40% of MAGA heads are a bunch of mean spirited, angry, stupid, heavily armed and aggressive morons that don't seem to know anything or even what it means to be free or what they're even mad about. They're just ugly, rude and dumb. And there are a lot of them.

I think it'd be a lot less effective if it were deployed against a party less pathetic and hapless than the Democrats, but welp them's the breaks and it's literally been as effective a strategy when I was 12 years old as it is now because the stupid pathetic spineless motherfuckers who are "opposing" the fash are the biggest most pathetic stupid cowards of a party the world has ever birthed and are incapable of fighting back on anything like equal terms because they're totally happy with losing
