MAGA World Focuses On Secretary Of State Races
Politico reports:
Donald Trump’s pick to become Arizona’s top elections official raised more campaign cash in 2021 than his two potential Democratic opponents combined — a sign of MAGA-world’s deep engagement in taking over under-the-radar positions in charge of running battleground state elections.
State Rep. Mark Finchem, whom Trump endorsed for Arizona secretary of state in September of last year, has made the former president’s lies about the 2020 election results a cornerstone of his campaign.
Having failed to prevent certification of the 2020 election, Trump and his followers are targeting state and local offices that will be involved in running the next presidential election, boosting loyalists who cast doubt on the 2020 vote and pouring energy into races that typically see little engagement.
The Phoenix New Times reports:
Arizona Representative Mark Finchem called the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville a “Deep State” operation facilitated by the media and Democrats in a 2017 blog post on his campaign website.
He has described himself as a member of the Oath Keepers, an anti-government militia movement, and sponsored legislation that would allow Arizona to ignore U.S. Supreme Court rulings.
In the August 15, 2017, blog post, Finchem denied that members of the American far-right were behind the violent “Unite the Right” rally, where one person was murdered and dozens injured by a neo-Nazi who rammed his car into a group of counter-protesters.

Wouldn’t it be a great world if people acted this way instead of acting only for themselves? Scottie
Remember when it was cool to help others, social welfare programs & orgs, & humanity? Everyone needs help in their lives. Now with unprecedented inequality, only the privileged get help.
Tax the wealth created by capitalism. Fund the vulnerable exploited by capitalism.
Trying to bring back child labor for 2022 huh.
I am the best. I have the best brain. Only I can do it. Only my son-in-law who can’t pass a security clearance can do this. No media allowed when I met with Putin.
Just say you enjoy the cult.
Dumb people avoid prevention. Even bigger morons politicize prevention. The biggest morons avoid prevention because the politics.

If you identify with the racist, if your feelings are hurt to learn about racism, you failed life.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is the cognitive bias whereby people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability.
Pretend victims.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
We have been arming the Ukraine lately, as have Britain and Germany. I suspect Ramirez wants the readers to think it would be okay to preemptively attack Russia. Folks, slow down and give it another millisecond of thought, does that sound like a GOOD idea? If so, please get immediate counseling. At the same time the right wing is hammering Biden on his Ukraine policy the Republicans in congress that are in the pay or under threat from Russia are demanding that Biden rule out sending any troops. So Biden did say he wouldn’t send any US military troops to fight Russia in Ukraine. What a set of foreign asset assholes. Scottie
Since life changes all the time, it must be terrible to be a conservative who practically wets their pants when anything changes. Such an absurd cartoon. Also, “woke” is an obsolescent term. How is a gay M&M any more or less stupid than a straight one? You know what is stupid? People who worry about this crap.
News headline: “M&M characters get new, more inclusive look”
No WONDER poor ol’ Payneful is having a snit. “My GOD, how is it POSSIBLE for important cultural icons such as the M&M characters to CHANGE when they were already PERFECT, just like God made them in the garden of Eden? What is this world COMING to?!! (etc)” Scottie
Tom Hanks narrates a new spot that marks year one of Joe Biden’s presidency, one that tries to reinforce a message that the country is on the right track. This scares the right because he is a prominent well liked person. So they have to attack him as much as they can. Rather than admit that Biden really has accomplished quite a bit in just one year and would have done a lot more if the right had not tried to block everything that would help the country jsut because they don’t want Biden to have a win. That is how radical the right has become, doesn’t matteer if the country really needs it they will block it to deny the Democrats a win. The Democrats don’t do that … yet. Scottie
What a misrepresentation. She was saying take care of your self over the weekend, do what you need to do that recharges yourself, and then come back at the issues / problems strong on Monday. What is controversial about that message? Unless the left fighting the right wing ongoing sabotage of the country is scary for the right? Scottie
