He’s a nationalist *and* a socialist.

he’s also irrelevant. conservatives, by and large, don’t want nationalism.

conservatives want less federal control.

If he’s irrelevant why are so many Trumplicans listening to him

Bannon this morning says the purpose of the Trump rally in AZ today is to pressure the AZ legis to decertify the 2020 Biden electors, then PA, WI, and GA will follow suit and make Biden an illegitimate president in the minds of swing voters heading into the 2022 elections.

You cannot interpret this as anything but a declaration of war on democracy. We are in the endgame. We can resurrect democracy or lose it forever.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Legitimate pressure is not a war on democracy. The "plan," according to the planners, was within the bounds of the Constitution, therefore legitimate.

So the big lie is legitimate pressure, according to the planners and you.
Just the thing someone who kept Mein Kampf on his nightstand would claim.
Because as long as you achieve your goal the means are justifiable.

Never read Mein Kampf. Don't remember ever actually seeing a copy of it. No doubt, Bannon, et. al., believe that the big lie is the accusation that they're lying.

And I'm not making a claim either way. I don't positively know.

Since they have never succeeded in any court action, are you claiming that people should just believe them based on…….
