Stephen Miller spent his weekend, as he is wont to do, describing American politics as if the nation were in the advanced stages of civil war and as if he were dictating a message while racing to a mountain hideout to escape bloodthirsty guerillas. “There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded,” he wrote on X. “And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.”
I wish people on the right could see past the love bombing and manipulation tactics, and understand how disposable they really are. Lately it’s made me wonder if there are any MAGA supporters who have experienced an abusive relationship, escaped, and really reflected on what they left behind? Because, if those people do exist within MAGA, it’s very hard to believe they couldn’t feel the pattern and cycles of abuse somewhere deep inside of themselves.
“It’s us vs the radical leftists.”
“They want to hurt you and silence you because you don’t belong in their world. We want you, and we’ll keep you safe.”
“Here’s a bigger salary and sign on bonus than you ever dreamed of making. No training or requirements other than your willingness to blindly act as our loyal secret police.”
“Have some military grade weapons. You have our blessing and encouragement to go out there and pretend reality is a video game that you control. Don’t worry about anything bad happening. We’ve got your back. You’re safe with us.”
I think one of the things that stuck out to me most about that insane speech Miller gave to the Memphis safe task force on Wednesday, is that he got them amped up and ready for battle, then he got the fuck out of dodge. Reports said he literally left out the back door.
Like a child lighting a fire cracker, and quickly running away so he doesn’t get hurt or blamed for the explosion he caused. He’ll watch from afar and laugh as it plays out because he knows he’s safe. The people he left behind to deal with the explosion are not, but he doesn’t care. We know it. He knows it, but I’m pretty sure they’re oblivious.
Within hours of Miller’s little battle cry, federal agents in unmarked cars filled with weapons and military gear were speeding through an American city completely unfamiliar to them. When the first wreck happened during a high speed chase, the agents were hurt, bystanders were hurt, resources were wasted dealing with the fallout, nobody knew who was responsible, and Miller was safe hundreds of miles away watching the fireworks.
Refuse to let go of the fact that after Miller publicly accused a judge of “insurrection” for simply doing her fucking job, an act of domestic terrorism nearly killed the judge and her family. Put the blame squarely where it belongs. Don’t blame “MAGA,” blame the bald man child that lit the fuse.
I was never maga, but I was politically ignorant for a long time (never voted for the C. Diff stain in office thank fuck) until I divorced my abusive ex. I was able to reflect on that marriage in therapy and finally saw how the sausage was made. Left religion in the dust, went hard left politically, and that’s when I started to really see the parallels between abusive relationships and right wing ideology.
That therapist was a badass. Without her help, I probably would’ve still been stuck in that marriage.
There is nothing manly about that butt plug with ears !
It’s not my typical watch, but I’ve caught a couple of YouTubes in the channel “life take two”. The host is an ex-maga, ex-christofascist, who talks a lot about the abusive nature of the combined movements.
