A side note here: #DefendantTrumps constant claims that his repugnant statements are “jokes” has led to an inability of the #RadicalRight to discern when anyone else is joking.
They constantly project their lie=joke and vice versa rationalization onto others.
Right-wing outlets want you to believe our movement is secretly controlled by billionaires. The reality is we're just ordinary Americans who are using our citizen power to do the extraordinary: Defend our democracy from fascism. Now's a good time to join our "Radical Left Network." https://act.indivisible.org/signup/stay-in-touch?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Sitting in a tire shop waiting for a tire rotation on my work truck. The local FM country station is playing on the speakers. The theme of the music, song after song, can only be described as “Christofascist”.
NEW: Donald #Trump is concerned that evidence sought by #MichaelCohen in the former president's $500 million lawsuit against his ex-lawyer and fixer could potentially incriminate him in his multiple ongoing criminal proceedings #legal
I'm enjoying this but I worry about the #radicalright, his minions. Will they start something? How would it start? What do people think that might look like? I've heard #civilwar mentioned enough. We know they're armed, pissed off, and irrational. I hope the left is finding ways to protect and arm themselves as well. Maybe I worry too much. Probably. Hopefully.
A lot of the songs on #WorldParty's 1986 album, "Private Revolution" hint at the coming rise of the radical right ("The Ballad of the Little Man") -- that sort of hatred was not a new thing, but songwriter Karl Wallinger warned us that it could get worse.
"Private Revolution" has always been one of my favorite albums. #ShuhadaSadaqat's vocals on this album are especially haunting, particularly on the song "Hawaiian Island World." And the lyrics... Well, unfortunately, we're seeing this happen all too often these days...
Hawaiian Island World
"The shopkeeper from Illinois came round
A freshly fired gun in his hand
He said he'd just shot a young poet
For writing something he didn't understand
Gone were the lines that he loved to forget
Safe were the folk words of truth would upset
With God right behind him
His gun by his side
There was nowhere for these weirdos
To run or to hide
The day of their judgement
It was due to arrive
Get them on the record
Make sure they don't survive
And we can all sit watching
Our Hawaiian island world
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming
Of my Hawaiian island world"
