This is what #maga has enabled. . Repost from @themeteor • “Your body, my choice”⁠ “Get back in the kitchen”⁠ “Repeal the 19th amendment”⁠ ⁠ A new study from @isd.global finds that in the 24 hours following the election, these phrases all spiked on social media (driven in part by high-profile right-wing platforms). On X (formerly Twitter) “your body, my choice” and “get back in the kitchen” increased by 4,600%, and the first phrase also featured in 52,000 Facebook posts. And in the days after, posts on X calling for the repeal of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, increased by 663% over the week before. 👀⁠ ⁠ So what do you do if you see posts like this? Remember that they’re awful—but they’re also designed to elicit a reaction (and create chaos). So: Report the post, block the account, and move on. Snappy comebacks are fun, but they continue a conversation that doesn’t deserve oxygen.⁠ ⁠

Sorry I haven't done any videos in a few days...

Must watch video compilation. They're coming out and saying they want to go back at least 100 years, before women had rights, one guy said they want to go back to the middle ages and another that things went wrong when "we" stopped burning women at the stake.

Mention was made that they want to make The Handmaid's Tale real--and worse. What the guy means by "and worse" can only be imagined, but considering the actual state sanctioned r*pe in the book and show, it really makes me concerned about them trying to implement forcing women to submit to having sex with (yeah r*ape) men who are not able to get laid, but also feel like they should be able to have sex with supermodels. There's obviously more men than not who will never be able to have sex with super hot women and not all of them can become wealthy enough to make their grossness irrelevant. I've seen articles where it's been stated that some incels have proposed the government "give" them hot women. Like we're nothing more than animals or food.

I know younger people keep complaining that Democrats keep saying that elections are "the most important ever." And I guess it sounds like we're "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

But it's shit like this that has become more and more open and mainstreamed. So much so that every future election may continue to be "the most important." Because at this point, we're just trying to keep America a democracy (or Democratic Republic or whatever the fuck the legal def is).

These people are the enemy of our country and anyone who wants freedom for women, POC, LGBTQIA, men who don't fit their criteria of "manly men," the lower classes, immigrants, disabled people, neurodivergent people--and anyone I may have forgotten. We have to remain vigilant!

Sadly, for anyone who isn't convinced, I think the only thing that would convince them is if we do lose our freedoms, and I, for one, am not willing to let things get that far! It's enraging enough to me that they've rolled back civil rights and Roe despite everything I've been doing to try to at least maintain the status quo. I'll keep fighting though.

Because I may not fit into most of these groups, but just because someone is different from me, does not mean they should not be able to live happy lives, be the person they are and love who they love. All of you who are dissimilar to me are just as important as I am and the law should consider you all as such. When it doesn't, that's when I have a problem with any of those legislators, even if they are in different states. I wish I had billions of dollars so I could at least try to counteract all the douchy billionaires! 😭

[sspacegodd]

Not everyone every second of every day is trying to destroy America, fueled with hidden motives and secret agendas to make you mad.

Sometimes, some of us --- occasionally, briefly --- say what we mean and do what we say.

Stop demonizing and hating other humans. No matter what color or culture, we're obviously in the same family.

Stop crashing websites of shows you don't watch just to leave comments about not watching. Stop complaining about every little thing that makes you unhappy. Stop wondering if racism exists. Stop pointing out everyone's imperfections. Stop criticizing other people's lives, and start living your own.

Incisively stated, and with such trenchant wit! 🤩

Be clear, Trump’s win is not a sign of voter realignment it's a sign of voter apathy. Trump didn't have to convert voters, just hold on to his base. This result is an indictment on MAGA and the 10 million + Biden voters who saw the most racist and sexist campaign, ignored the economists who warned about Trump’s plans wrecking the economy and still stayed home. Just remember that happens now is EXACTLY what y'all asked for and I will be here to remind you. #electionshaveconsequences

October surprise explodes

You know, it’s not every day when we get t witness an “October surprise” explode in the face of a political candidate seeking an entirely different reaction. Republican nominee for POTUS, Donald Trump, sought to stage a rally in Madison Square Garden. His intent, I am left to presume, was to gin up support for his cause. It did not work! The rally instead has mobilized a key voting bloc to…

[emptymanuscript]

Article with embedded video of the speech if you wish to check for yourself exactly what he says:

Transcript is also in the article if you want to see it written down but not watch it.

His remarks were delivered June 30th 2024 at Lake Church in White Lake, NC, the recording was made by the church, with the Robinson's and Pastor Cameron McGill's consent.

The link to their posting of the recording on Facebook, if you want to make sure it hasn't been tampered with. The speech is about 30 minutes long.

The New Republic states that it got an email statement from Pastor McGill about the incident:

“Without a doubt, those he deemed worthy of death [were] those seeking to kill us,” Pastor Cameron said in an email, adding that Robinson “certainly did not imply the taking of any innocent lives” and that the rest of his speech was “non-controversial.” There was no formal media presence during the speech, the Pastor confirmed.

Robinson is a frequently controversial figure.

Rolling Stones wrote an article about him this last March 9th 2024, cataloguing some of his more controversial statements. Though that isn't the word they used to describe said comments.

Slate also has its own article summing up, much more briefly, his biggest "hits."

I assume both were written in response to Robinson receiving former president Trump's “complete and total endorsement,” a few days earlier on March 2nd, 2024, stating that Robinson was like Martin Luther King but better.

In spite of the fact that Robinson has previously caused waves by stating, "MLK Was An Inferior Pastor And ‘Communist.’"

So this behavior is fairly in line with how he conducts himself and the kind of person he is. He is very staunchly a member of the MAGA party in excellent standing because he supports all their stances to a tee.

Which is what I think is more important for me:

There may only be one Robinson and he may, for the moment, be confined to North Carolina, but what he advocates and says is exactly why the MAGA movement and Trump like him so much. He is saying exactly what they like and want. He is speaking with their voice and he says it with authority and vitality. He is, quite simply, what MAGA is. Compare him to Trump and he is the living example of the old wisdom, “In America, you gotta work twice as hard [as white folks] to get half as much.” There is absolutely a reason this man is the first black Lt. Governor of North Carolina and has a good chance of being its first black Governor, the polls are well within the margin of error between him and his opponent and his numbers are generally trending upward.

He says clearly what he thinks about things. He is happy to elicit the controversy and ride that wave. Because he knows he can. Because he knows he is saying what his audience wants to hear and saying it best because he believes it. The offense is to his benefit because it is showing everyone exactly who he is and who is people are.

Which makes him helpful because he is telling us what MAGA thinks. He is telling us MAGA's goals. He is telling us exactly who they are.

The problem is that I think the left truly does not understand what is being said.

An excellent example of that is this clip from the young turks about the kerfuffle around the surfacing of his quote "I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote."

They're very good about giving the larger context but I think it is because they're missing the point, when the people who cherry picked that portion of the quote did not.

Go look through his speeches. I've now watched a whole lot more than I wanted to AND have barely brushed the surface. He likes to talk and he's quite charismatic. He resonates so well with his audience because he is absolutely identifying problems that do exist within that context and advocating their favored approach. It is not a problem within his own constituency, it is a benefit, because he is declaring clearly for them that he is Right Wing Authoritarian, like them, and they don't want people who aren't.

He is willing to go backwards in American cultural history to the point where women couldn't vote and people of color would be lynched because he is a Leopard.

The fundamental mistake people make in the metaphor of the Leopard party about MAGA is the assumption that anybody who supports the Leopards thinks they are not Leopards themselves. No one who thinks they are a Gazelle is going to support the Leopards. Everyone who thinks they are a Leopard is ok with that.

Make no mistake, the incomplete clip of him being happy to go back to women without voting rights is absolutely correct. Because he trusts the women who ARE Leopards to fight like Leopards and to seize that power back. He is confident that they can. Take away their voting rights and they will fight and kill and destroy and cheat and whatever it takes with utter ruthlessness until they have that power once again. There is nothing that will hold a Leopard back except trying to be a different animal. So, as a Leopard, he has zero fear of going backward. It's not a threat to him, it's a benefit.

Anyone who is NOT a Leopard - whether they don't want to be, so he couldn't give a shit about them, or they just aren't as powerful as they think they are and won't make it, which sucks, she was a real nice Gazelle, but it is still for the best because when it came down to it, she was no Leopard - will get purged. Their faces will get eaten by the Leopards so only the Leopards will survive. It is Social Darwinism, the strong succeed because they are strong. The weak get taken out because they are weak. That is the central thesis of Leopards Eating People's Faces Party, MAGA, modern Republicanism, Christofascism, whatever name you want to call it. Might Makes Right BECAUSE Right is Might.

This has been gaining strength as the Right Wing Authoritarian central organizing principle since Russell Conwell started the principles of Prosperity Gospel in the propagation of his Acres of Diamonds sermon. With Andrew Carnegie's The Gospel of Wealth to help it along by arguing that the benefits would inevitably trickle on down to everyone, even to those who didn't have God's direct blessing or didn't care about God either way. The plan was good by definition. And it is still more than good enough for MAGA. Same thing, different name. Might and Right are identical things. If you are one (enough) you must get the other. That is the natural order of things.

And the very worst thing for not just yourself but EVERYONE is to oppose that natural order which must inevitable weaken, sicken, and destroy both the individual and society. That is the true devil's work: opposing God's plan which destroys the Might of the Right and therefore destroys the Right until there is no Might left to resist the devil's influence and everything is laid to waste and lost forever.

If you have the stomach for it, it is worth listening to his 45 minute speech recorded at the Freedom House Church and kept up on their youtube channel. He's a much easier person to listen to than Trump. Unlike Trump, his charm and intelligence come through. It is simply easier to listen to him. Even if what he is saying is just as awful if you pause to think about what he is really saying and dissect what it means.

Yes, he really is happy to go back to the way it was because he believes with all his heart that he is a Leopard and that the Leopards are going to be just fine. If they are truly Leopards, they will take what they deserve. If they are not, they will get what they deserve. And in the end, that is what is best for everyone. No one deserves anything that they are not strong enough to take on their own because that is what God has deemed to be the plan.

You strive to be the best you can be and you live or die by that. And blessed is the good person who dies by God's plan. To die as a Leopard, because you are too weak to live as a Leopard, even though you tried, is the second best thing a Leopard can do. For that Leopard lived as a Leopard and died as a Leopard and both of those things made the Leopards stronger.

And that is what MAGA wants.

All the policies and inflammatory statements are side effects or boosters. They are nothing except the push to move the world toward what they want: rule by the Leopard.

And that's really all you have to ask yourself about whether you should support Robinson or any MAGA personality.

Are you ok with rule by the Leopard. Do you believe that Might and Right being identical is a good thing for yourself and those you care about?

You will never shame him or outlogic him or catch him out with some kind of hypocrisy because he is not a hypocrite by his own definition. He is a Leopard. If he hurts you, he is a Leopard and you are not. If he eats your face, fine, he is a Leopard and you are not. If he decides to help you, fine, he is a Leopard and you are not. As a Leopard, it is his right to decide. He can do the Noblesse Oblige thing or not. It's up to him because he is a Leopard. His Leopardness entitles him to what he can do. His might makes him right.

And if you are strong enough, he is cool with that. Leopards deserve their power because they are powerful. It is tautological. It is God's will. It is BECAUSE it is.

Are you strong enough to thrive in that paradigm? Are the people you care about strong enough to thrive in that paradigm? Will that paradigm give you the world you want when it goes right? When it goes wrong?

Are you a Leopard?

Look at all those inflammatory statements again. Does he think you are a Leopard? Can you prove it to the other Leopards when they start eating faces?

Standing in a church advocating murder.

‘DEI,’ ‘Colored,’ ‘Jezebel’: MAGA Attacks on Kamala Harris Are Getting Ugly

From: Rolling Stone:

In just the past day, Harris has been targeted by resurgent “birthers” who claim she’s not a natural-born citizen and by Trumpy Bible-thumpers who claim she’s a biblical “Jezebel” — a reference to a temptress who misled the faithful into idolatry and sexual depravity. GOP Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee said that “100 percent, she was a DEI hire” insisting of Biden’s choice of Harris: “When you go down that route, you get mediocrity.”

Alex Kaplan at MMFA:

[Content warning: This article contains anti-LGBTQ, ableist, and misogynistic commentary and slurs, and other profane language.] Brenden Dilley, a far-right podcaster who previously pushed the QAnon conspiracy theory, leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content that The New York Times says “traffics freely in misinformation,” “racist stereotypes,” and “demeaning tropes about L.G.B.T.Q. people.”  Media Matters conducted a monthslong review of Dilley’s show, which regularly streams on right-wing video-sharing platform Rumble, and found that the Trump ally regularly traffics in misogynistic, discriminatory, and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. There are dozens of examples so far this year in which he made comments like saying he wished women would “focus on their pretty dresses and their house and their children and making me sexually satisfied all the time, and food” instead of focusing on politics, claiming that Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was a “DEI” hire, and saying that transgender people were “fucked in the head.” 

Dilley has also bragged on his show about his ties to Republican officials, including former President Donald Trump and Arizona Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, and called for his followers to aid them, including by targeting their political opponents with “psychological warfare.” Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly shared material from Dilley’s “meme team” and supposedly said he “loves” Dilley, while his campaign has reportedly shared footage for Dilley’s team to use and given Dilley press passes for a campaign event. Dilley has also threatened and spread baseless claims about former President Barack Obama, former first lady Michelle Obama, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other people he disagrees with.

MAGA cultist and Dilley Meme Team leader Brenden Dilley uses his online show The Dilley Show to spew out vile insults against the LGBTQ+ community, women, and minorities, while also bragging about having ties to various Republican power players such as Kari Lake and Donald Trump.
