It is an Immeserable Irony that the modern MAGA movement started as the #TeaParty movement, referencing a prior movement historically known for revolting against the British for enacting Tariffs.
Now only being told to get in line and support #NewTarriffs.
Literally, Tariffs started this country and are destroying it now.
Time is a Loop.
#GeneralStrike
Tepid, almost non-existant coverage of #handsoff by cable and network media.
Compare and contrast.
When the asinine #teaparty loons and fools like sarah palin had events, more 'news media' showed up to cover it than there were participants. Pathetic.
The non-stop 'reporting' of these crackpots filled the airwaves for months. Disgusting.
Corporate media news #journalismIsDead and has been for generations - they are #tools of the oligarchs and plutocrats.
This is what #HannahArendt called "#theBanalityOfEvil"
To truly become an outright #fascist country, it doesn't happen like a cartoon light switch. It happens on a continuum we've been on since the #teaParty #GOP over a decade ago
And it seems like nonsense
So you laugh and you laugh
And your reaction makes sense
But nothing is stopping this. It doesn't matter how absurd it is. It's happening
So you need to stop laughing

To those wondering when the #Democrat pushback will come, it won't.
Their strategy is "we told you so."
The sad thing is it will likely work.
I predict Trump will lose his #House and #Senate majorities after the #midterms ... then they'll successfully impeach him.
Then we'll go back to "fascist lite" business as usual #WallStreet boot licking.
The way to prevent business as usual is to PRIMARY the incumbent democrats.
That is what made the #TeaParty so wildly effective in shifting this country to the so hard to the right.
Primary the business as usual democrats. Take. Them. Out.

As a student of #American #history, in particular, the story of the Boston #TeaParty is fascinating because of the background context, the acts, and the fallout: https://inaniludibrio.com/2024/02/12/the-seditious-tea-brewed-in-boston/
IMHO, after the #TeaParty manifestations in September 2009, #Obama’s error was not taking advantage of his #cult of personality, nascent #mobile #video technology of iPhones, #socialmedia, and #townhalls.
The strategy shoulda/coulda/woulda been to just go on the road and let the Creepy Weirdos out themselves on camera in front of friends and neighbors.
There was a reason that hoses used on people at Selma radicalized the #American public through their TV sets.
#History could have rhymed.
Krampus is coming, folks! And he’s got his little helpers, too! #krampus #krampusnacht #krampuslauf #yule #yuletide #kitten #illustration #teaparty #saturnalia #solinvictus #pagan #art

#DonaldTrump has tapped a former congressman, and co-founder of the #House #TeaParty caucus, to become his next ambassador to #Canada.
Trump said in a news release Wednesday night that #PeteHoekstra is his nominee for the position, a #RightWing former lawmaker who has promoted baseless #ConspiracyTheories about #Democrats, #Muslims and even suggested this year that feared Democrats would "steal some votes" in the election.
"It was in 2011, amid the eruption of the #TeaParty juvenile delinquents in the House of Representatives and the then-novel asininity of birtherism, that I called it quits after 28 years on Capitol Hill—28 years working for Republicans.
…when I left the Hill, that party was as extinct as the passenger pigeon, and I felt I was without a political home. It had evolved—or rather degenerated—into a billionaire-funded mob of primitives reminiscent of Jonathan Swift’s Yahoos."

As much as I understand the shock wave, I still don't quite get the sentiment.
This has not happened last night, or in the past months.
You can go back to the 1980s, but I'd pin it to 2009, whem the #TeaParty movement started, sending ripples all over the globe, resonating with reactionary movements everywhere.
We had ~15 years to counter this. We chose not to.
So, get over it. Learn from it for #ClimateChange. Get up, and make a difference.
