We need to stop it now.
The republicans have latched onto Nazi talking points and propaganda techniques and are not going to let go.
Let’s recap.
The republicans say democrats are demon, evil, pedophiles who sacrifice children and drink their blood.
Let that sink in. Why? Because they now say it out loud at EVERY opportunity. It is the new norm for their party and we seem to just be shrugging it off and calling it crazy talk.
BULLSHIT, it is dangerous propaganda designed to dehumanize a perceived threat so that mass executions will seem normal.
This is what the Nazi propaganda machine did to those they deemed “others”. The Nazi propaganda machine demonized and dehumanized the people who they targeted in order to give their followers a common enemy, so that the “cleansing” could begin. It is an old tactic used by vicious leaders.
Look at Ukraine. Look at what Putin and his army are doing. Look at TFG and his followers.
It is happening here. Just look at the news.
And nobody is calling them out. Nobody is calling them Nazi propagandists. Nobody is telling them they are using the same tactics the Nazi machine used to dehumanize the “other”.
Nobody.
Oh, sure, a few of the good one’s on our side are calling them out, but it needs to be SAID. Say the words. They want to label me a pedophile. So be it.
I’ll label them Nazi Propagandist. I’ll say it every time they speak ill of our party and liberals in general.
Nazi Propagandist, every last one of them.
GOP > Germany’s Old Party…
Time to fight like we mean it. Words are a very powerful weapon and we need to use words against them.
There is still time to turn this around, but our leaders need to start calling them out.
Good trouble.
"The republicans say democrats are demon, evil, pedophiles who sacrifice children and drink their blood."
Who??? WHO has called Dems "demons . . who sacrifice children and drink their blood?" Unbelievably (or not,) not a single DUmmy calls out this fabrication.
"They want to label me a pedophile." Well, are you a pedophile? re you a teacher who wants to tell little children that buggery is a perfectly normal expression of love, or that they can be anything they want to be: Astronaut, veterinarian, President, or--tranny. If so, then you are a groomer.

30. I really felt so sad during Justice Jackson's hearings
when the republicans either insinuated or outright lied to her face, calling her a pedophile. That cut right through my heart and brought the kind of tears that sting. She has so much honor and empathy for the human condition, while working to find fair justice in difficult circumstances. And she could not respond to defend herself and her past decisions.
Now, I wish some prominent person (people) could give the fascist republicans the response they deserve. Like make it a 30 minute rebuttal that goes item by item as they attacked her, and clear the lies away. They should be publicly shamed to the same degree they are trying to shame democrats with lies.
I agree, we should not be silent. Bullies need to face swift and consistent rebuttal from the playground to congressional hearings. The only place we should take it with grace is in church or at a very solemn occasion, then followup after.
I just have to add a thought here... we need to put more congressmen (and women) in like Al Frankin. It broke my heart when the press did a mild attack on him, but then a few democrats ran him out of office. My blood still boils over that. He has a special talent for getting to the heart of the matter with the courage and quick thinking it takes to be very effective.
"republicans either insinuated or outright lied to her face, calling her a pedophile." Again, WHO called her a pedophile? They said she is soft on kiddie pornographers, which is a fact. At least they didn't "outright lie" and call her a gang rapist.
"she could not respond to defend herself and her past decisions." No, she wouldn't defend her past decisions, BECAUSE they are indefensible. It's perfectly acceptable, and a requirement, actually, of the advise and consent clause of the Constitution, to question her past decisions, as well as her judicial philosophy.
