How billionaires created the DEI panic
YouTube video by Media Matters
Watch this GREAT summary of how *one* major slice of The Bullshit has been circulating (in slightly rebranded form) since the 1980s.
I’d go farther & say that the core grievance (“minorities are taking over”) goes back AT LEAST to anti-Civil Rights rhetoric of the 50s, btw.

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

Rumble podcaster Graham Allen, newly hired by the Department of Defense under Pete Hegseth, has previously claimed that Taylor Swift is “a witch & a devil" who uses "straight witchcraft" & has had "some kind of satanic music." www.mediamatters.org/rumble/rumbl...

Buncha stuff that boils down to “what does this bit of metadata mean? Can you tell what sort of device an image was created on or posted from based on the following stuff we’ve noticed that SEEMS potentially useful to us, but we don’t know squat?”

Oh, sorry, an HONORARY doctorate.
That makes perfect sense, then, because NO IT DOESN’T

It has! I got a new phone in mid-October and went “what if I DIDN’T gaze into the void all the time? How would that affect my life?”
and it turned out my life was better without it, so 🤷♂️

And QAnon is PERFECT for that, because it can recast any suffering or inconvenience as: “oh, this is all part of smashing the Cabal and destroying the bad guys who literally eat babies for Satan, after which we’ll have a golden age. Small price to pay! We should REJOICE in this sacrifice of ours!”

One of the things Trump’s second term will require, and *urgently so*, too, is a narrative that sort of…
soothes his supporter’s emotions about the negative impacts they’ll see in their own lives from what Trump is doing.

I would say “no it isn’t,” but there are people I respect who think it *is*.
Had a really good conversation recently, where I was like “any Q-equivalent thing in Trump’s second term would have to be an entirely new movement suited to the conditions of the times.”
And the counterpoint was:

Namely: it’s one of MANY different reasons you can select to go “see? Trump is the chosen one.”
Obviously it’s not a MAINSTREAM reason, but it’s part of the buffet of choices you have available to justify (and personalize!) your Trump worship.

I would agree.
I think in general, a fascist movement has to straddle the line between hero worship and deification of The Leader because *if he’s just some guy who has a bunch of good ideas*, then why would you follow him *fanatically*?
So weird shit like this plays an important ideological role.

because theirs is a very political, very conspiracy theory-oriented worldview to begin with (and it ALSO embraces the idea that everything we see on earth is the result of an invisible shadow war, in this case between spiritual powers of good and evil).
But this is — whoof. Like I said: DEEP lore.

And it’s notable because this kind of thing — “Trump time travel” stuff, Deep Lore about the Trump family’s connection to Tesla, all of it —
used to be *only* seen in the online fever swamps and, specifically, the Q-flavored ones.
There were always a LOT of neo-Charismatic anons…

An ad for a book called “The Trump Code: Exploring Time Travel, Nikola Tesla, the Trump Lineage, and America’s Future.”
The price has been reduced from $19.99 to $14.99 — MIGHTY SAVINGS INDEED, WORTHY OF A CHAMPION!!!!!
By Grabthar’s hammer! What a savings!
Anyway, this ad was on CharismaNews.com, which is the leading news organ of neo-Charismatics (think “Jesus Camp” types who want 🇺🇸 to be a theocracy — heck, I saw the ad on an article about a North Dakota legislator’s attempt to pass a law saying Jesus is King).
