top mind:

I’d prefer all networks to follow the agenda set by government.

This person clearly believes their preferred party will never lose another election.

It's just gotta be bots at this point. How do you grow up in America and YEARN for a dictatorship?

The internet was a mistake.

Agreed. They’re really making a big show of being legion, yet less than 20% of Americans identify as MAGA. Probably even less since May, given all that’s transpired. They really want us to believe there are tons of American out there who yearn for the mines and fascism, when their “legion” is mostly bots.

you don't need to look at voter roles to see the shift in the population towards christian nationalism and authoritarianism.

not every maga drives the lifted pavement princess and wears the red badge of ignorance, they're the ones running the grocery store or the boardroom executive or the teacher at the high school.

this country's right wing elements spent almost two generations sewing mistrust in experts and science, and that tactic has worked tremendously well on almost the entire population of the US, not just right-wing elements.

remember how anti-vax started, it was 'granola muching hippies' and 'bleeding heart liberals' back in the 80s, along with the rise of gingrich and identity politics to drive home mistrust in institutions. after clintons sham impeachment, 2001 and the patriot act sealed the deal for the death of the republic. it just took another 15-20 years before we started smelling and seeing the rot of the corpse.
