Donald Trump’s increasingly violent vision is coming through loud and clear to supporters like the MAGA gunman in New Mexico.

    Republicans don’t want freedom or justice or anything that they claim to be for. They only want unrelenting flames of vengeance on everything that they hate: which is basically everything that exists. They literally are a lake of fire.

      When my friend became a Republican after a being a lifelong Democrat, one of the first things he started to say was, “never let the opposition control the language.”

      The right defines those words, freedom, justice, with what their empty ideology represent; not their actual meanings.

          I don’t even understand how someone can understand what “right wing” means while also claiming it to equal freedom.

          They are literally on the “authority” side!

            The freedom to use authority to oppress anyone the in group doesn’t like, you know, anti American freedoms.

        There was a great piece on the notion of Southern liberty (the way the right defines it) vs. the way virtually everyone else defines it. The right’s idea of “liberty” is being able to rule over others.
