Their indoctrinated anger and authoritarian hatred need to be vented, so they lash out at anything they perceive as a threat to their cult brainwashing. It won't be long until their cult trains them to see everyone else as communists who hate America.<br /><br />Their support for Trump after his coup shows they are well on their way to the brink.<br /><br />As their Dear Leader said at the radical Right Turning Point rally:<br /><br />“Like it or not, we are becoming a communist country. That’s what’s happening.”<br /><br />"The radical left democrat communist party"<br /><br />This is fascism. There's no other word for this. It is the essence of fascist demonization lifted directly from Hitler's playbook.<br />Dave Dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279370558997246976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-60392846300227987732021-09-30T06:28:36.054-04:002021-09-30T06:28:36.054-04:00Go get em, Dave!

One thing about voter suppression in ...Hi, Skuddy.<br /><br />One thing about voter suppression in every Republican controlled state is the strategic targeting of minority communities. As if extreme gerrymandering them out of fair representation weren't enough. Some examples are restricting their access to polls, drop boxes, and early voting. Banning being given water in long lines is also an evil tactic in itself.<br /><br />Everyone earning fair wages pays federal taxes. Well. Not quite.<br /><br />Do you think its fair for schoolteachers to pay higher FIT rates than Trump and Bezos?<br /><br />Bezos, chief executive of Amazon and the owner of The Washington Post, paid $973 million in taxes on $4.22 billion in income, as his wealth soared by $99 billion, resulting in a 0.98% “true tax rate.”<br /><br />The companies avoiding income taxes in 2020 represent very different sectors of the U.S. economy:<br /><br />Food conglomerate Archer Daniels Midland enjoyed $438 million of U.S. pretax income last year and received a federal tax rebate of $164 million.<br /><br />The delivery giant FedEx zeroed out its federal income tax on $1.2 billion of U.S. pretax income in 2020 and received a rebate of $230 million.<br /><br />The shoe manufacturer Nike didn’t pay a dime of federal income tax on almost $2.9 billion of U.S. pretax income last year, instead enjoying a $109 million tax rebate.<br /><br />The cable TV provider Dish Network paid no federal income taxes on $2.5 billion of U.S. income in 2020.<br /><br />The software company Salesforce avoided all federal income taxes on $2.6 billion of U.S. income.<br /><br /> https://itep.org/55-profitable-corporations-zero-corporate-tax/<br /><br />More, including:<br />Amazon.com<br />Delta Airlines<br />GM<br />Eli Lilly<br />Halliburton<br /><br /><br />https://publicintegrity.org/inequality-poverty-opportunity/taxes/trumps-tax-cuts/you-paid-taxes-these-corporations-didnt/<br />Dave Dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279370558997246976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-16622179688125443642021-09-16T14:31:41.249-04:002021-09-16T14:31:41.249-04:00Dubya,

Shouldn't everyone pay into the running of the government even if it is a nominal amount. Wouldn't paying a fair share be fair?skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-77789518331110826932021-09-16T10:22:10.392-04:002021-09-16T10:22:10.392-04:00Elder followed the pattern.

Then he started tweeting about election "shenanigans" in 2020. By the time he appeared on Fox News on Labor Day weekend, the flip-flop was complete.<br /><br />Elder said Biden did not win "fairly and squarely" and rattled off a vague, Trumpian list of falsehoods about Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Hunter Biden, Big Tech "censorship," the works.Dave Dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279370558997246976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-48001718457172353622021-09-16T09:57:11.054-04:002021-09-16T09:57:11.054-04:00As we know, authoritarian followers will follow th...As we know, authoritarian followers will follow their authoritarian leaders without question. Their vast propaganda network assures ideological conformity and acceptance of the leaders' lies.<br /><br />Reality and reason are sacrificed to loyalty and unity under the Leader. And what unites them most is hate for all others. Others' criticism of Dear Leader is taken as hate for them. Being anti-Trump is the same as being anti-American in their extreme authoritarian nationalism.<br /><br />Orwell understood fascism. "Ignorance is strength."<br /><br />“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."<br /><br />And of course Trump is their Big Brother.<br /><br />Trump also told his followers to reject the evidence of their eyes and ears. It was his final, most essential command.<br /><br />“Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what's happening.” Donald J TrumpDave Dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279370558997246976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-82024277104780071352021-09-16T08:56:07.452-04:002021-09-16T08:56:07.452-04:00In the California recall, Trump and Elder were cla...In the California recall, Trump and Elder were claiming fraud even before the votes were counted.<br /><br />Trump's been saying since 2016 that if he lost, that would mean the election was rigged, and he's continued that lie to this day.<br /><br />It's too bad his cultists don't see through his treachery. IMO they don't because 1) they want to believe his lies, and 2) they're not smart enough to understand what his lies are meant to accomplish.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-83990899480986550052021-09-15T16:13:40.284-04:002021-09-15T16:13:40.284-04:00What can I say, Don?

When I see our laws and government subverted and twisted into service of the undemocratic, powerful, corporate oligarchy, I must react with a patriotic defense of our values. I strongly oppose the ongoing destruction of what is left of American democracy and shall give voice to our common cause of freedom. “<br /><br />Hey Dumb Ass, this is YOUR PARTY, and YOUR PRESIDENT. who are doing those thiy that is Killing this country!Don Josenoreply@blogger.com
