When Christian nationalists take control of the county government.

' Joe Moss, the group’s other co-founder and, now, chair of the [county] commission, said, “There is a mighty force at our back, and everything that we do, we are doing for the glory of God.” '

Of bicycle riders, Jews, and trans folk.

' Part of the magic trick the right-wing does is get you to focus on specifics — restrooms, school showers, books — so you don’t notice your pocket being picked. It’s a totalitarian smokescreen that works for a while, then dissipates. Reality eventually intrudes.... '

' Imagine members strutting around the corridors of Congress in late 2001 with a Boeing 747 lapel pin, or wearing a spiky replica of the coronavirus when New York City’s morgues were overflowing in the spring of 2020. Explain to me how worshiping an AR-15 — when the blood stains are still being scrubbed off a dance studio in Monterey Park, Club Q in Colorado Springs, or a bus in Charlottesville — is any different, really?

Republicans came this close to a fistfight on the House floor. About what? They're all agreed on their top priorities: defunding the IRS so it can't catch rich tax cheats; Hunter Biden's laptop; Fauci's crime of trying to save American lives and the alleged weaponization of the FBI led by Trump appointee Wray. The circus is in town and finally has its head clown.

There is no sign of moderation because the have chosen the path to . Even a pivot from to as the new figurehead would only continue this path consistently.
There are still many commentators who want to see a moderate conservative in . That's not a fair assessment. Instead, he's Trump 2.0.

A Republican “Soul-Searching”? Highly Unlikely.

Don’t trust people who keep promising a GOP pivot that never comes

The 2022 midterm elections are finally over. They ended on Tuesday with another Democratic victory over a Trumpist candidate in another high-stakes, high-profile race in another purple state. Raphael Warnock defeated Herschel Walker in the Georgia senate runoff – that’s good news for Democrats, good news for (small-d) democrats, good news for anyone who values having reasonably qualified people in political office.

Is This Democracy: 5. What Does “Democracy” Even Mean, And Why Conservatives Don’t Want to Be Conservatives Anymore (Oh, and the meeting of white supremacists at Mar-a-Lago)

Trump hosted a leading Holocaust denier and white power activist for dinner: What to take away from this latest reminder of who Trump is and what the Republican base wants, and why we must not be lulled into a false sense of security by the ridiculousness of it all – And we dive deep into the question of how to best capture and describe the defining political conflict: Why we are experiencing a counter-mobilization, rather than a backlash; by reactionaries, rather than conservatives; against egalitarian multiracial, pluralistic democracy, rather than simply democracy.

Trump’s Dinner Fiasco Was a Win for Fascists Playing the Long Game – Mother Jones

His guest, white supremacist Nick Fuentes, is trying to bend conservatism to his will.
The 24-year-old white nationalist Nick Fuentes dined with Donald Trump and Kanye West (who now goes by Ye) at Mar-A-Lago last week. For the last six years, Fuentes has built up a following on Twitter, Twitch, and other social media platforms while touting his support for antisemitism, fascism, and the creation of a white ethnostate. In that time, he has become one of the clearest successors of the white power, alt-right movement.
