👀 #LeonardLeo revealed his battle plan in a video for the Teneo Network, a little-known group he called “a tremendously important resource for the future of our country.”
Teneo is building what Leo called “networks of conservatives that can roll back” liberal influence in Wall Street and Silicon Valley, among authors and academics, with pro athletes and Hollywood producers.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell@GottaLaff It’s good that it’s getting press. It’s bad that at least 30% of the population doesn’t care/likes the idea/or doesn’t understand the implications.
Sorry-it’s a gray day where I am
@GottaLaff Leonard Leo is a corrupt Catholic/Conservative/Republican (the Catholics he put on the Supreme Court want corrupt billionaires to be able to buy Republican politicians, see Citizens United). Leo wears his Catholicism on his sleeve. Reminds me of the 'good ol' days' of the Catholic Church. A woke priest was burned by the Church for saying that the sun didn't revolve around the Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno
@GottaLaff tax the f*ck out of the rich and remove tax-exempt status from every one of these fascist organizations. Remove it for all “religious” organizations as well. Only entities clearly serving the public good should be awarded this designation. It is obscene who doesn’t pay taxes. This MF, Turning Point, a bunch of psycho “pastors”… just to name a few. As a taxpayer, I’m furious. 🤬
@GottaLaff
The GQP fascist orgs getting tax exempt status happened more recently. I remember them whining about persecution, it was during the Tea Party era. This was totally amped up during #DonTheCon where churches can now be political organizations. Remember the head of the IRS was a MAGAt just recently replaced. The whole system must be tanked and restarted from scratch. Let them whine. https://www.npr.org/2017/10/27/560308997/irs-apologizes-for-aggressive-scrutiny-of-conservative-groups
@GottaLaff just so everyone is aware: I look for toots about these fascist monsters and scour the replies for folks who understand the existential peril we're all in and follow, hoping we'll have a communication channel of sorts when the shit inevitably hits the fan.
Hope this doesn't weird anyone out, but my circle of real-life humans who have a clue, is getting smaller daily and in my small rural community, is non-existent.
If it makes you uncomfortable, please say so or just block me.
@GottaLaff Wow, There truly is a secret society that is controlling everything. . . after reading the ProPublica article, I "gotta ask", is there a Democratic equivalent to Teneo and the Federalist Society? I want to join and put them in my will.
I wanna see the "captains of the universe" and "smartest people in the room" who decide to follow this fat-assed fascist. You're telling on yourselves. You really are the losers we said you were in 6th grade.
They’re unable to win democratic elections with policy most Americans want, so they have a plan to seize power by staging a hostile takeover? I guess starting with a wholesale takeover of SCOTUS, was only the first step in their fascistic plans.
They’re terrified of ANYTHING that doesn’t centre their own political & economic greed. So they turn to fascism. Super. 🤬
We’ve got a lot of problems to keep an eye on right now, and I understand why so many people are complacent about politics, but the rise of fascism needs a big spotlight shining on it, so I’m glad they’re digging into the details too.
TBH, this is the stuff that keeps me up at night…because the more power they have, the more everything 🌸💦🌻🐠🐻🍃 and everyone 🌈🏳️⚧️👧🏻👦🏽♿️👵🏼 else is at risk.
@GottaLaff
I truly hope someone within our DoJ, FBI, CIA or ? is paying great attention to the external threat to democracy these groups are posing and take the appropriate precautions. We, the little people, can't even guarantee our vote much less our nation's democracy.
@robertnorlyn@GottaLaff so basically Americans will eventually be forced to be Conservative. In a dystopian future If they don’t comply they’ll be imprisoned or shot. Comply or die. That’s how you change culture. Hitler and the Taliban have arrived in America!
