It Wasn't Fascism All Along Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.

Very interesting from @polphilpod.bsky.social.

"It's not as if fascism ever went away...Fascists have fought to undermine conservatism from within...Fascists took elite conservatives' measure nicely...The future will belong either to liberals or fascists."

The Great Replacement of Conservative Ideology Belief in a "Great Replacement" unites the factions of conservatism like "fusionism" never could.

"The Camp of the Saints worldview simply assumes that immigrants can't contribute to society, to civilization. They can only destroy it...It's entered the GOP mainstream, and reshaped conservative ideology."

Once again little Donny shows he is not ready for kindergarten. He needs extensive social-skill building before he can be allowed to play with other children, most of whom are way ahead of him in appropriate socialization. Too bad, but if he gets intensive care he might be able to catch up.

Oh, Donald, you must be so proud of yourself, wrecking the water and food supply to millions of families. Do you suppose they might even retaliate at the earliest possible moment? That's on you, brother.

Well known as "Glock Leg". Striker fired pistols with no external safeties and an approximate 4+ lb trigger pull over a round in the chamber. It has killed people. A light brush of the trigger allowed toddlers fire a pistol wounding parents or others & trained police fire pistols in police stations

Cheniere Energy Received $370 Million IRS Windfall for Using LNG as ‘Alternative’ Fuel - Inside Climate News The country’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas benefited from what critics say is a questionable IRS interpretation of tax credits.

How Trumpsters and fossil fuel cronies loot the country.

Kubrick, gone 27 years ago today. #RIP

Few directors were as brilliant at portraying the absurdities of war — like generals who say, “The men died wonderfully.”

Good thing I’m frickin’ classy because otherwise I’d observe that M-Dub Mullin is a truly butt-stupid individual who has no place in politics. Or in driving a car. Or running for office.

“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows.” There is a “law” of consequence - karma if you wish - and the clock is running. Electing Trump - again! - was a tragic mistake that is exacting and will exact a price on the innocent. Unforgivable.

“Who knows in which direction Trump’s narcissism and megalomania will push him? For now, what we do know is that one man has taken us to war. We know his party has voted to give him a blank check to continue it.”

Elon shadow banned @tomjchicago.bsky.social for being too "on the nose" about Trump. Tom Joseph has had "read" on Trump from the get-go. He joins me on my podcast www.patreon.com/c/PoliticsWi...

It’s the stuff of Greek tragedy. Slights, resentments, personal pettiness, played out in some deadly scene, upon the world stage.
