Augie Ray

We live in the dumbest timeline.

The people who won't get a vaccine because they think it contains digital trackers are cheering Elon Musk's brain implant.

The people who think we need government out of people's lives want government telling us what to read.

The folks who think every life is sacred before birth refuse to do anything about an epidemic of school shootings.

People who hate anything anti-American want pardons for the Jan6 insurrectionists who attacked the US Capitol.

🙄

I remind people every day that…

…the reason they called to "#LockHerUp" was over her (supposed) mishandling of classified documents.

…#Benghazi­™ was about her failure to stop an attack on a U.S. gov't building.

…they impeached Bill Clinton for lying about having an affair. #Stormy

…and they don't REALLY oppose #abortion, they just want a 6-18 year waiting period for one of their classmates to do it for you.

@augieray I think people have always been stupid; technology has never been more effective whebn it comes to leveraging and weaponizing the stupidity, ignorance and selfishness that is a core part of so many people.

Makes you wonder, what insane writer thought up the current storyline.

You just can't make this up.

And then there is this kind of stuff.

It is staggering to what lengths some governments, companies or people are willing to go to avoid accountability.

As someone who is trying to keep the Reaganites from influencing my ideology, government is good.

School shootings are caused by GOP.

Lock the entire GOP up. No longer the party of McCorproatist Reagan, but a party of despot Trump.

@augieray It's because fascists have no moral or ethics beyond their own advantage.

@augieray Because it is about money and power...

For them... no one else...

So if they like it then they want it (it is therefore advantageous to them) and everyone must do as they say...

Or so they think

@augieray hypocrisy is a strategy that keeps people talking and drains their energy away from action. The way to reverse it is to refuse to engage with the distracting word games and let frustration drive action. Get mad: make a phone call, donate, find a Black woman to listen to and do what she say will help..
