Greets and saluts from the resistance in the NYC metro area. It’s not a good day to be optimistic when there are right wing nutters, the Alex Jones audience, who think Las Vegas was carried out so as to “taint” the Bundy trials.

There’s so much derp and insanity out there, and it starts at the top. Trump. His buddies in the fever swamps, whether it’s Alex Jones or agitprop producers SMOTI, Rage Furby, and their sycophants, are spreading this toxic stew far and wide.

They have excelled at DARVO, and they’re not going to be done until the entire nation is upended and in turmoil, all while the 1% accumulate more wealth and everyone else sees their burdens increase exponentially.

More than that, we’re exporting the insanity elsewhere such as with actions like this:

Once again, the GOP isn’t about being pro life. Or about life at all. They’re more than willing to desecrate lives and destroy them so that a select few can profit. They exploit the religious beliefs of a handful to impose their views on everyone else. They don’t care about life, and their actions on health care, LGBT, birth control, women’s rights, CHIP (the latest insanity being that the GOP allowed the program to expire 10/1), etc. show that they’re more interested in forcing women to carry to term than they are in caring for the woman’s health or the health of their child.

The fetus is a prop in their debased worldview. They are all about government so small it fits up in the lady bits and in bathroom stalls and the bedroom. They aren’t small government. They’re for a police state that is very much up into what everyone is doing. Their notion of privacy is a fuzzy one, all in furtherance of “security.”

But in doing so, no one is secure, violence is a huge issue, and civil and voting rights are under assault, and the rich just keep getting richer.
