Republicans have disinformed voters so significantly that they moved the political center in USA

  • by

It’s nothing to be proud of, especially considering the threat they now pose, but it’s something they’ve done incredibly well. I’ve referred to the work by Political Compass for many years and want to share their assessment of 2024 (attached). But I also want us to talk about the great harm Republicans have caused to America.

Are you as frustrated as I am with this one thing they’ve done well? They’ve convinced people that centrist-right politicians are the radical left, all while moving us towards a theocratic or authoritarian dictatorship designed to benefit billionaires and weaken us as a nation.

The image above might be jarring to some and I should note that I believe Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are excellent candidates on their own. Separately, it is imperative that any American who cares about democracy, the people in America, or their own lives absolutely must ensure that Trump/Vance are never given power again.

Following Elon’s threats to humanity over 24 hours

Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter appears driven by political motives to support Republican interests, benefiting him financially at the public’s expense. Musk’s changes to the platform, such as withdrawing from the EU’s Code of Practice on Disinformation and restructuring the verification system, have facilitated the spread of misinformation. This strategy aligns with his interests in promoting a Republican agenda that includes tax cuts favoring the wealthy. Musk’s actions, including reinstating banned accounts and posting misleading content, aim to sway public opinion toward candidates like Donald Trump, who supports policies that benefit Musk. By undermining democratic norms and spreading divisive rhetoric, Musk parallels authoritarian tactics. His endorsement of controversial ideas, such as governance by “high-status males,” reveals a dangerous alignment with exclusionary ideologies. This pattern of behavior indicates Musk’s use of Twitter to manipulate public discourse for personal gain while undermining democratic values and social equity.

Republicans in the White House Could Destroy Your Favorite Online Community–or Turn It into a Hub of Hatred

The Trump team plans threaten free speech, especially in online communities that challenge conservative views, including those related to non-belief in god and science. Project 2025 aims to eliminate legal protections for online platforms, which could lead to widespread censorship or the shutdown of spaces that allow open discussion. The danger is clear: a Trump administration could severely limit the ability to freely express non-religious and critical perspectives online, leading to a more hostile and censored internet landscape.

Project 2025/Agenda 47: You Must Vote Democratic to Stop It!

  • by

TL;DR: Trump knows the people who wrote Project 2025 because they’re his team, and he’s a compulsive liar. Project 2025 is an anti-American, anti-science, and intolerant plan that promotes an agenda of ignorance. To counter this, you need to vote for Democrats.

Defending Secularism: Why Voting for Democrats Is Crucial to Protecting Our Freedoms

  • by

Republicans are systematically pushing Christianity into public schools, undermining the separation of church and state. With the Supreme Court now skewed by unethical confirmations under Trump, we face a real threat to our secular democracy. The GOP’s actions, including introducing the Bible in Oklahoma’s K-12 education and the Ten Commandments in Louisiana classrooms, are blatant violations of the Constitution. The only way to counter this is by electing Democrats who prioritize rational, empathetic governance to safeguard our freedoms and address the pressing issues facing our nation.
