They deny climate change, which is key driver both of increased hurricane intensity AND increased immigration. That denial in turn creates space for promoting conspiracies to explain what they're unwilling to deal with, to redirect their followers' frustrations & animosity. It's eco-fascism time!

Not to be that guy again, but it sure does seem that musks new goal is to push people towards doing outright election fraud in such numbers that it overwhelms our ability to stop them. This is how it worked in places like hungry or Russia as the descent into open fascism accelerated.

i would like to observe and note here how wildly inappropriate it is for a major defense and aerospace contractor to appear on stage with a presidential candidate at a political rally and tell brazen lies about voting

it’s actually crazy that the press just doesn’t care about this? like, one of the biggest influences on a man who might be a heartbeat away from the presidency is a psychotic racist!

One of the biggest ideological influences for JD Vance is Curtis Yarvin the reactionary blogger who has said the only problem with Breivik the Norwegian Nazi terrorist that killed 77 people, mostly kids, is that he wasn't more effective. So that's cool how America is this close to electing him

Elites inside the GOP (up and coming “intellectuals” like Nate Hochman or former Rubio chief of staff Mike Needham) are eagerly adopting fascistic rhetoric to draw voters to Trump. Such rhetoric doesn’t just reflect what exists, it also has the power to shape. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
