   @DailyStormerDigest He even names the name of the Catholic boob who acted as gatekeeper behind the scenes to purge the GOP of anyone with realistic ideas, Robert George, a Princeton professor I never even heard of and I've been reading about GOP politics for decades.
   
   They keep these brain bugs well hidden.

     @judgedread Point about Elon noted, acknowledged, and credit to him given.
     
     My favorite part:
     
     Populism and isolationism have legitimate expressions, but preventing them from descending into anti-Semitism requires leaders willing to restrain their movement’s worst instincts. Today’s right has fewer by the day. Trump fundamentally refuses to repudiate anyone who supports him, and by devolving power from traditional Republican elites and institutions to a diffuse array of online influencers, the former president has ensured that no one is in a position to corral the right’s excesses, even if someone wanted to.
     
     As one conservative columnist put it to me in August 2023, “What you’re actually worried about is not Trump being Hitler. What you’re worried about is Trump incentivizing anti-Semites,” to the point where “a generation from now, you’ve got Karl Lueger,” the anti-Jewish mayor of Vienna who inspired Hitler, “and two generations from now, you do have something like that.” The accelerant that is social-media discourse, together with a war that brings Jews to the center of political attention, could shorten that timeline.
     Kenny Blankenship repeated this.
