Remember how in Terminator time travel dude had to explain terminators to Sarah so she would get it the fuck together and not get them killed? That's what it's like trying to explain to some people what the GOP really is.

The GOP has been part of the normalized political landscape for so long that it's hard for ppl to get their heads around what's happening. The GOP's current position is the result of a long term conservative project colliding w a mass incubation of white nationalism online.

An uneasy but effective alliance between the fringe and the elites. When there's a scape goated population and the promise of a return to mythical greatness, that shit is a component of fascism.

The GOP was a deadly, death-making crew of thieves before birtherism or the "alt-right" brand of white supremacy were a thing, and there is certainly instability between elements of the right, but overall, they are in alignment against us in a way we've never managed to counter.

The GOP has a stranglehold on the highest levels of government. They have established that the law is irrelevant to them in matters of holding onto power or withholding power. We have a president who would resist a peaceful transition of power if he thought he could get away w it

We need to do away w idealizations of the rule of law and of institutions, none of which will save us. Appeals to conscience likewise fall flat in the absence of conscience. We can't afford these wishful thoughts about who GOP legislators really are and what they are part of.

We've got to look at the ways they've built power and understand what we're up against. Because the conservative apparatus/white supremacy isn't about to surrender what it's seized.https://truthout.org/articles/how-billionaires-bought-kavanaughs-seat-on-the-supreme-court/ …
