This alt right regime, that is openly bigoted and misogynistic and fiscally irresponsible, is completely supported by an equally incompetent alt right Congress who is supporting completely by a very political and pro-oligarch Supreme Court.
There are no CHECKS and BALANCES for America currently.
Even after watching it in action for well over a year and a half, I'm still having a hard time believing what I know for sure we're living through. I am, however, "compos mentis" enough to realize that we've been heading in this direction since long before Trump came along.
They are coming from social media. Elected republicans and officials are much more interested in tweeting than anything else. They know the content they put out is going to get them support
Could you please clarify? Who's "they"? Are you saying that "elected Republicans and officials" on social media are providing the "checks and balances" that T Mac referred to?
The “they” I am referring to are Republicans in office. The Republican office holder is not a check on anything online. In fact, they stoke what is online. Most of what they do in Congress is not about legislation anymore but being on twitter showing their conservative bona fides and who they are fighting. They are just influencers who happen to be governors and congress members.
The engagement which brings them money, invitations to scam, and prevents them being primaried. The elected Republicans are sincere in just like their friends who they follow and are followed by in the great cycle of paranoid fantasies and resentment huffing.
The only check is each individual’s ego. See MTG, Candace Owens vs Erica Kirk, the opposition party, sometimes the courts, and, sometimes the people through direct action. We can all see how well this is all working out for all of us😏
