Republicans are using the 2nd amendment to hold America hostage as a means to achieve desired cultural/policy ends

They’ve rolled all issues into one and decided anyone who doesn’t agree is *more* than a political opponent— they’re a Satanic enemy who must be vanquished

1/4 On every issue from education to equality to emergency response, I’ve witnessed a trend for years— from the media to friends & family— where conservative dialogue regularly circles back to an anti-govt fanaticism and often ends with a violent ultimatum

#ComeAndTakeIt

Listen close y’all.

Frank Luntz is the personal architect of modern Republican propaganda.

He was the political linguist who advised party elites in the 90s to “be like Newt” and ditch truth-telling for baseless propaganda.

The GOP couldn’t get onboard fast enough. /1 Image He taught the party to reduce complex ideas into cliche phrases meant to oversimplify, eliminate key context, and— most importantly— manipulate voters’ emotions.

And we can trace a direct line from those buzzwords above to the violent propaganda & political terrorism of 2023. /2 Image

CONSERVATIVES HAVE BEEN “GROOMED” FOR DECADES:

Groomed by Reagan to distrust the government

Groomed by Rush Limbaugh to believe liberal is a 4-letter word

Groomed by FoxNews to believe Obama was the Antichrist

Groomed by the NRA to believe liberals are coming for your guns Groomed by Alex Jones to dehumanize immigrants, POC, liberals, and the LGBTQ community

Groomed by Joe Rogan to believe vaccines are dangerous

Groomed by Newsmax to take horse dewormer

Groomed by Michael Flynn to believe the Q-Anon conspiracy psyop

Reflections on the current wave of MAGA violence:

I’m old enough to remember when conservatives directly blamed Obama for violence against cops in 2016.

They said he “called for the death of police” and refused to condemn killings in Dallas.

Reader, all of this was false. /1 ImageImageImageImage Of course Obama directly condemned the violence.

And anytime he spoke on racial disparities in policing, his comments were thoughtful, measured, mature, and intelligent. /2

Little known issue on the Missouri ballot has a real fascist ring to it.

Am 5 moves Nat’l Guard directly under governor & changes mission from responding to domestic emergencies “to protecting constitutional rights and civil liberties” of Missourians.

Why is that troubling? /1 Image A few reasons.

Missouri recently passed legislation to nullify federal gun laws. The Guard could be deployed to resist the FBI or federal law enforcement in the name of protecting citizens second amendment rights. /2

Are you on the fence in this election? Do you have friends and family who are still undecided?

Let me offer a persuasive argument.

I’m rejecting Republicans up and down the ticket. Why?

It’s the lies and the fear-mongering for me.

🧵1/ The lies and fear mongering on abortion. Crime. Guns. Jan 6. Elections. Gas prices. Inflation. Tax Policy. Immigration. Public health. Public education.

When I take a step back, I see that the entire Republican platform is built on propaganda and lies. /2

Oversight is important. Why?

Missouri is currently home to unregulated boarding schools engaging in child rape, torture, and even labor trafficking of adults.

And their unregulated status has made it so far impossible for your candidate @Eric_Schmitt to shut them down. /1 If #Agape was licensed, there would be regular oversight and state authority to close the doors.

See, you denigrate “govt” as if it’s some mystic unilateral force. But in a democracy, the govt = the people.

We the people decide what’s best. And any society has rules. /2

Good morning to everyone except the treasonous seditionists, coup-plotters, domestic terrorists, and fascists.

Did you know that Missouri AG @Eric_Schmitt’s loyalty to Trump means he supports 5 out of 5 of these things??

That’s not propaganda— here are the receipts:

🧵 /1 Image @AGEricSchmitt has pledged total loyalty to Trump and the #MAGA agenda, and has even intervened in his legal defense to show his unwavering support of Trump to the judges overseeing the prosecutions of his cases.

And Trump is guilty of all 5 offenses.

Let’s take a look /2

As predicted, Missouri @AGEricSchmitt joins to protect Trump from prosecution for his traitorous acts.

@Eric_Schmitt knows that if Hillary or Obama had stolen hundreds of classified documents and hid them from NARA, nothing would stop him from seeking maximum punishment. /1 Missourians are tired of this treasonous double standard that plays voters for fools.

Eric cheered relentless “lock her up” propaganda but now offers full throated defenses for Trump literally stealing the most sensitive secrets and exposing human intelligence sources. /2

ERIC. SCHMITT. CAN’T. PROTECT. MISSOURIANS. @Eric_Schmitt

-Not from abuse/slavery at unlicensed boarding schools

-Not from a pandemic ravaging hospitals and destroying families

-And not from enduring forced birth and trauma at the hands of the state.

Let’s explore.

🧵 1/? He and @GovParsonMO allowed the situation at #Agape to go unchecked for far too long, and still haven’t stopped it.

@AGEricSchmitt’s office fielded the complaints of gang rape.
