Some more NAR stuff, at the Mall in DC.
“NBC”
JD Vance, Mike Johnson, Project 2025 are all very into this stuff.
This is why the Trump campaign is airing all those anti-trans ads at football games, etc. Typical fascist demonization of minorities.
Jokes for a post Project 2025 America:
At the maximum security prison for dangerous enemies of the people, the warden picks three inmates at random and asks them whet they’re in for.
The first one says, “I spoke out against JD Vance.”
“I see,” says the warden. he turns to the second and asks, “how about you?”
“I spoke out in favor of JD Vance,” the second one says.
“You sure did.” The warden turns to the third. “And what brought you here?”
The third prisoner says “I am JD Vance.”
Abortion emerges as most important election issue for young women, poll finds (ABC)
More lyrics free opera, The Marriage of Figaro overture by Mozart.
Apologies for the length, this is part of a much longer piece on Steve Bannon, J D Vance, NATO, Ukraine, Brexit etc,, it’s all pretty scary IMO:
“VanityFair”

There is a lot more.
@charontwo:
I think fear and moral panic are Trump’s secret special sauce. He calls himself the “Protector.” the macho tough guy, the strong man (right out of Ben Garrison cartoons or McNaughton paintings).
The suckers are afraid of change, modernity, lack of religion and they gobble this swill right up.
I think the Democrats need to attack this, make him look weak, incoherent etc.
