There's some grade-A, anti-democracy, moving the goalposts bullshit* going on in Ohio, and today is the day it can be stopped in its tracks.

We need to be watching every election everywhere because I'm certain this will spread if successful

*I'm tempted to call it shenanigans, but that word is too delightful for this crap.

"Read alongside the court’s affirmative-action decision this term and abortion ruling last term, we see a court that has rendered invisible structural forms of disadvantage in the context of reproductive rights, higher education, and voting rights, while it has a hair-trigger response to protecting the rights of faith-based objectors to laws designed to protect the equality rights of people of color, women, and LGBTQ communities."

#india #antidemocracy #journalism India’s government is planning to create a state fact-checking unit with the power to order social media platforms to take down content about its activities that it deems “fake or misleading“ … Concern has been brewing in recent months over the Indian government’s increasingly restrictive stance towards the media. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/indian-journalists-warn-of-new-government-assault-on-press-freedom/ar-AA19AELQ

@tomstoneham @RichardJMurphy Thank you. I've also been feeling that loads of us (in UK, US, and wider) have been struggling with recognition skills. An older generation perhaps only got drilled in the F word from WW2 propaganda; and we also know that relatively few chose to fight fascism previously, while it was being described as strong government.
Do you feel the F word is going to be the rallying point we need? My sense is that the denials tend to misdirect.

Every time #Republicans get what they want, the American people lose something they need — John Collins #quote #RightWingGOP #MAGA #AntiDemocracy

Large numbers of Americans want a strong, rough, anti-democratic leader

Significant percentages of Democrats and larger proportions of Republicans, support anti-democratic ideas
A national study found that large proportions of Americans, regardless of their political preferences, agree or strongly agree with statements that run counter to long-accepted democratic principles of civility, freedom of the press and the rule of law

#Democracy usually dies from within. An authoritarian oriented leader is elected and then they start to change the rules, and then they start to change who the other people in office are, start to change the referees — Michael Berkman #quote #Trumpism #Republicans #MAGA #AntiDemocracy

The Republican Party has lost any sense of why it is a political party other than acquiring power — Stuart Stevens #quote #Republicans #Trumpism #AntiDemocracy

For many Republicans, the very fact that any Democrats win anywhere is evidence that they must be cheating — Marc E. Elias #quote #RightWingGOP #AntiDemocracy #MAGA #Republicans #TheBigLie

It's fascinating how many anti-democratic election deniers and pro-insurrectionist types include "patriot" in their bio — @StevenBeschloss #quote #MAGA #Insurrectionists #AntiDemocracy #Extremist

Florida is turning into a modern American dystopia. A fusion of Fahrenheit 451, 1984 and a classic comics version of Mein Kampf. His governing model is not confined to the borders of Florida but is spilling into the political mainstream where it has been living chameleon-like for quite a while.
