RebMasel did a YT podcast on just this topic. It’s as horrific as it sounds.

I wonder what the Catholic Trumpers here in Louisiana will think of her saying that?

I’m gonna have to ask some.

Pretty sure that was first implemented as a training thing for either fighter pilots or astronauts to learn to deal with disorienting movements.

It has since become a form or entertainment at carnivals and the like.

Well I’m glad they’re confirming it again, but here in Louisiana we’ve known this for decades.

Why does that title sound like it’s out of a 1940’s war reel?

That wasn’t complaining that was countering your propaganda. Or did you not realize that’s what you were spreading?

Controlled. Opposition. Propaganda.

The rest I’m ignoring because it’s obviously projection.

It’s my filter for people(Liberals) who insist on tone policing.

If you want polite find an echo chamber.

Yes, it’s deep rooted, which means grassroots from the ground up local change. Which isn’t happening in any coordinated manner by Dems.

But current Dems NEVER get past “the first step” because aside from a bare handful at this point, they don’t represent the will of the people any more than Republicans do and it’s really time the rest of you comprehend this deep down.

Also, get off your high fucking horse. You’re on the same internet, and what makes you think I’m NOT doing anything?

Fucking controlled opposition bootlickers.

Actual opposition? Actual leadership?

We’re literally watching, at best, the destruction of every social good of the 20th century and the political supremacy of the oligarchy or, at worst, a 21st century Reich but with Evangelicals.

Something more than, “oh hey this looks bad” would be nice. Something that would belie the “controlled opposition” label being used for Dems would be nice. Getting out from under the thumb of AIPAC would be nice.

I just love how the best any US politician can do is point out the obvious.

Fire sale, insider trading, stock manipulation, price manipulation… pick a scam/con. It’s at least one of them.

As an older American from the deep south, it’s just a holdover from cheap high calorie/high carb foods to start the day back when America was mostly agrarian.

Then when the 50s rolled around it got combined with nutrition concepts of a “balanced breakfast” by cereal marketing firms and romanticized to sell even cheaper products to children/parents; sugared cereal.

For me, breakfast is bacon, eggs and biscuits or toast. And maybe grits if I’m feeling like it. I like hash browns but I don’t like making them.

It’s just leftover marketing. Eat what makes you happy.

Blue MAGA baby, they can’t help it.

That’s like other drug dealers cheering the biggest drug dealer getting gutted.

It’s just southern racists. It’s all just southern racists.

You’re not wrong, but post WWII Republicans were more than willing to play along so long as big business got theirs.

IMO, it was when the CRA, the EPA and other “anti-business” initiatives came into existence that “small government” because a buzz word for them.

They made a completely wrong turn when they teamed up with Evangelicals in the 80’s and let them into positions of power in the party in the 90’s culminating in the bat-shit-crazies we have now.

Like I said a broken clock is correct twice a day.

Yea, thwarting DOGE/Muck and Trump feels good, but then end result of them taking down USAID and VOA is actually better for the world and ultimately American citizens.

No more propaganda. No more easy coverups for the CIA influencing and attempting coups.

Agreed. Blue MAGA liberals will never understand they are the guard dogs for fascism because they will never let go of Capitalism.

Edit: Don’t let the truth get you so riled up Blue MAGA. lol

To answer your question, it’s not.

The Republicans, as proxies for the 1% and Evangelicals, have been trying to break the Federal government at least since Reagan, if not longer.

Absolutely. Though I suspect that it’s more they want to create their own specific fascist leaning messaging.
