Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

That “project” should have been the end of the Republican Party when it became public. We are really fucken out here about to be consumed by fascism and people are okay with it. This shit doesn’t go away. The entire party is compromised now and forever. You can’t ever trust they aren’t on a Russian payroll trying to make a coup happen again. Nobody seems appalled by this and even worse, some applaud it.
I relate. I’m appalled. I also don’t know what to do about it. If they pack the military with loyalists we’re in trouble, yet they’re on track to pull it off somehow. It’s terrifying.
What I truly think at this exact moment. Its too late. They’ve stated civil war if Trump doesn’t win, and him winning is not a good thing. A lot of institutional things tend to die quietly and the aftershock isn’t felt for a while. I think we’re experiencing one of these institutional deaths, the death of our functioning democracy. Keep both eyes on any MAGA you know.
I’ve written off most of the magats that I’ve known. Many that I’ve known that supported Trump early on have turned their backs now and feel stupid about ever supporting him. I’ve lost all respect for anyone still supporting that weak ass man baby and have cut ties. If they want a civil war that badly then I suppose we’ll have it. I hope they’re ready for gun soaked America. It wasn’t only right wingers buying guns under the loose current structure.
May I suggest we tear down all the confederate monuments after we win this time, starting with Stone Mountain, GA?
Can we also tear down anybody sporting the traitor’s flag? The number of people way up here in the north (like, sharing a border with fucking Canada) displaying the confederate battle flag is too damn high.
Only after we reenact Sherman’s March to Sea in those places
Not necessary. Georgia would be blue if it weren’t for the GOP gerrymandering and cheating every election. It’s purple even with their shit. You’d burn more allies than enemies, especially in Atlanta and Savannah today.
Oh I don’t mean a literal reenactment, just where the traitors are and only they are.

I agree. Had you asked me years ago (before Trump), I would likely have argued that the Republican party could still ditch their extremist elements and return to being a sane party. (Conservative, but still sane.)
I’m not sure if I was naive or if they’ve gotten worse, but I definitely wouldn’t say this about them now.
One little niggle. They aren’t in league with the Russians. Their goals often appear to align. And believe me Russians are useful to the people Republicans are in league with. But it isn’t the “Russians”. It’s the wealthy. All the ones that we know of. And especially the ones who hide their wealth.
We call that the oligarchy and for them they don’t live behind any boarders. Truly stupid of us to put our livelihoods in the hands of people who have no loyalty to any nation. For example wealthy Americans hide their wealth in off shore accounts to avoid laws and regulations here in the states. Laws and regulations put into place to govern their wealth. In this way they flaunt their country and show they are not loyal to anyone but themselves.
