matt walsh has been at the front of a very deliberate effort to train their base to go apeshit on brands, they're 100% transparent that this is what they're doing, and they're promising to do more of it in june, and this is about changing the overton window Image
if they can create an environment where brands are afraid to do anything slightly inclusive or progressive, if they can get them to take their pride flags down, they've dramatically changed the culture without casting a vote or firing a shot
my personal theory is some or all of these companies are helping the GOP by creating content they can rabble rouse over, i sincerely doubt that Anheuser Busch is all in for the democrats and social justice Image

It’s like there was a memo at CNN to start saying and doing stuff to help trump and friends
Haha
The theory that cnn decided to start carrying water for trump etc for ratings does not make sense - no one is hate watching trump anymore. The novelty is gone. People are not going to tune in like it’s 2016. They’re willing to burn their and their anchors credibility for this.

As trump kicks off at Waco, it’s worth noting that he has gotten away with all his crimes with no meaningful consequences. The people who told you the institutions would stop him, and they’ve been saying this for a decade, are liars or people who have been fooled by liars
The people who were sold to you as heroes are in league with the authoritarians with the goal of creating the illusion of accountability and imminent justice so you don’t realize the fascism has already started transforming the entire country piece by piece, so you don’t resist
They want you saying shit like “time for me to get my popcorn” and “trump is done” so you don’t worry about roe being overturned or trans people being made illegal or any of the obvious signs that the fascism is reshaping the country in its own image more so every day

The whole point of the justice is coming propaganda and the accountability theatre that never ends with accountability is to keep the American public docile and calm as the fascism continues to get worse.
The goal is to prevent people from noticing/saying that Trump etc have virtual criminal immunity no matter what they do by offering people a firehose of rationalizations and rumors that lets them pretend it’s normal for coup attempts to go unpunished and naive to think otherwise
ultimately the justice is coming team has created blue anon, a conspiracy theory where the government is filed with powerful allies who are working in secret to bring justice to their political enemies no matter how many times their predictions and heroes fall through

I am going to mask probably for the rest of my life. I am probably never going to eat indoors at a restaurant again. The world has changed and I’m not going to injure myself trying to deny it. I’ve had to make difficult changes in my habits before, this is comparatively easy.
Do I miss indoor concerts and restaurants and not having to worry about covid? Yes. It was better before covid. But again, the world has changed. Maybe forever. So I will adapt.
Right now it’s tough because so many people are falling for the “covid is over” propaganda being blasted at us every day. You are made to feel like a freak for taking covid seriously still, by design. You are gaslit by the people around you every day repeating leana wen bullshit

You’ve been asked to believe that it takes longer than two years for the federal government to respond to its attempted overthrow when this country invaded Afghanistan within a month of 9/11 and declared war on Japan the day after Pearl Harbor.
Hey, if the security apparatus fails to intercept the coup attempt and the capitol defenses are mysteriously weakened to the point it gets breached and then the justice department refuses to punish the highest level plotters for so long they get reelected… the govt is pro coup.
And if someone tells you for eight years straight that the accountability check is in the mail and bends themselves into pretzels to tell you what a great job the government is doing and attacks anyone that says this is bullshit… they are an apologist for a pro coup government.

Because everyone in a position of power is a criminal, a traitor, or a pedophile or is being bribed, blackmailed, or threatened by a criminal, a traitor, or a pedophile. There is no team of good guys trying to make the system work for us, just the illusion of one.
This is a Potemkin government whose primary function is to keep alive the myth that there is a government watching out for us. The fact that they repeatedly, routinely, predictably fail to enforce the law at a high level or handle internal national security threats gives it away
The FBI? The CIA? The DOJ? Homeland security? They are not taking decisive action to enforce the laws or squash security threats, they are doing the barest minimum to keep up appearances and counting on propaganda to convince people they’re doing a great job.
