Holy shit on toast....this is bad. I hope the dominoes that the J6HC keeps knocking over, knock over a teeny bit faster. Trump is emboldened and is rubbing it in our faces.

Self care is most important now.

As is your daily salt water therapy

Wow! This is a lot to digest! It may have taken a better part of the weekend but it will take me several read throughs to understand some of it. The 'R's all on Dec. 14th, yeah that was planned. Okay, let me read again. Thank you for all of your hard work! You amaze us on the regular. Be safe.

I watched Acosta & I saw the Trump speech & I was also noting that it coincided with one of the MAGA candidates Mike Detmer in Michigan telling his audience to bring guns to polling places. Shannon Watts tweeted that clip of his speech & it truly hit home the following: The push to arm themselves & remove restrictions on gun access & pushing the right to arm themselves, is really something more diabolical. Most followers of Trumpism/MAGA are ignorant about so much of the propaganda they ingest & many have a cult like loyalty to this terror group. So those at the top engage neo-nazis, hate groups like oath keepers & proud boys to unleash the violence. Mike Detmer won’t pull the trigger at a polling place or join some backwoods militia, but his followers will. Look at Gretchen Whitmer & the threat of kidnapping…. Acosta is 100% correct. If we don’t come down harshly on these people now, I shudder to think of what lies ahead. There are accounts that regularly post scenes from MAGA world & people scream about not amplifying…but the only way to get rid of these people, is to show the public why we are at peril. We can’t live with head in the sand & pretend it’s a small sector. Trump is evil…they know what they’re doing. Sow distrust, sow lies & create an enemy….It’s an alarming situation….terrifying.

One thing that goes through my mind, is there are a number of notable members of the GOP that are bravely sounding the alarm. I am grateful for that. A struggle for me is that some have been candid about building this machine & the politics of hate & now regret that…maybe at the time it was clever & winning as a strategy, but it’s way too late to express remorse…the monster is bigger than what they imagined. They don’t know how to kill what they created. It’s brave to call out the terrorist MAGA cult, but man….it’s hard to forgive.
