[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-09 I don't remember the name of the movie, but it was a sci-fi/dystopian future film that I caught about 15 minutes of while distractedly internetting. The thrust of it was that cities had become mobile, and London was a massive trillion-ton tracked vehicle belching smoke & hissing steam that would offer a glacier a metaphoric run for its money, speed-wise. (ed. it was Mortal Engines) But the notion of speed is relative, and that crawling behemoth comparatively blurs by The System, whose purpose is to protect a nation. There are too many moving parts so no one person or even group can claim actual control of its entirety. How fortunate then, when there is a common sense of what is 'right' to guide people in keeping it moving. When folks have an non-articulated but understood sense of faith in the navigation and justness of direction, it allows for localized responses even within a behemoth. It's been a fabulous week for freedom-loving folks everywhere. One of the most uplifting stories to appear on DKos pages detailed the demise of Infowars, owing to Alex Jones's mouth & brain disease befouling the airwaves with his vile concepts. That he won't be allowed to dodge accountability is a small miracle indeed. Add to that the take-down of The Epoch Times, a propaganda rag loaded with Dark Money. Before these it was FOX News being taken down a peg with a near $1Bn fine for lying—what’s happening with Newsmax anyway? Nothing good, I’m sure. Combined these represent pretty much the entire Communications Wing of Fascist America. Well...the obvious outlets anyway... MAGA is a perversion of politics...they twist rules and bend reality to suit immediate needs with little regard for future fallout. With the conviction of its cult leader last week, The System is finally answering the desperate pleas of "Why doesn't somebody DO something!?". The Right frequently enjoys their freedom to moan & whine about losing their freedom while simultaneously removing voting rights and body autonomy across the nation. MAGA has exploited propaganda's goal of perverting politics and offers permission to behave badly to a sizable slice of the voting public. The concept of “Don't be a Dick” is seen as a challenge to those whose happiness is tied to Owning the Libs. In true MAGA fashion some aspire to the title of Biggest Dick, because of course they stumbled in the wrong door and figured it was a different honor altogether. Morans. The System is indeed winning...MAGA v. The Behemoth is slowly unfolding. Starting with the mid-terms of '22 a meticulous, inexorable dismantling is dissecting the greatest threat to democracy in American history, learning from every diseased excision they make. With all the nimble agility of an aircraft carrier pulling a ‘U-ey’. MAGA at the top is one massive criminal organization and as such the usual rules applied--start at the bottom and work up. First the J6 'Hostages', those shit-smearing heroes revered by Trump are jailed. I bet he won't shake hands with any of them though...dunno where they been. The goofy cabal of Lawyers have paid a price in licenses & freedom, various hangers-on have been shaken off and Fake Electors are going down. The MAGA Crime Org is being busted up, fragmented and disorganized. You can bet every Proud Boy, Oath Keeper, 1%er and other toy soldiers must know they are being monitored & infiltrated. They must realize the jig is up. No freakin' wonder about 100 Congress-critters are sweatily pledging allegiance to the Orange Anchor--after all, if they can do this to him...
