He also doesn’t know what George Orwell’s political philosophy was (hint: it starts with an “S” and rhymes with mocialism).
It was required reading junior year.
Stop projecting your lack of knowlege. : )
Grammar nazi misspells knowledge.

"Orwell’s writing is rooted within the struggles between each “ism” that disfigured the 20th Century. He fought against Fascism in the Spanish Civil War and believed pacifism was a luxury paid for by cowards. And he experienced the horrors of Communism as well as the threat of Socialism to its true believers. Today, there is another set of “isms,” nationalism which promotes national solidarity and encourages pride in national achievements and unites it in patriotism. This was Orwell’s ideal type of “ism.”
“One defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself.”
– George Orwell
Orwell viewed Socialism as the monster of all the “isms” since it was the most deceptive. Since it operates by mobilizing under-classes and appealing to their feelings of resentment for capitalism, Socialism is the most dangerous “ism” of all. As Orwell predicted, America’s leftist socialists make sympathetic promises of rewards to hoards of self-persecuting under-classes at the expense of achievers. This garners support for their power base in American government. It enables them to become Big Brother to willing subjects, in return for relinquishing freedom and liberty to the party."

The quote literally contradicts the sentence before it.
How ing re ed are you?
i sincerely doubt you did all your homework chris. your consistent low-information takes speak to that
federal judge isn't inherently bound by the state supreme court's ruling, but he doesnt seem eager to disregard it either
Just another L for Dear Loser.
This really is playing out like an episode of arrested development...especially the 4 seasons fiasco lmao
Actual George Orwell quotes on nationalism, from a single essay:
Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality.Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception. Every nationalist is capable of the most flagrant dishonesty, but he is also – since he is conscious of serving something bigger than himself – unshakeably certain of being in the right.Ten or twenty years ago, the form of nationalism most closely corresponding to Communism today was political Catholicism.As nearly as possible, no nationalist ever thinks, talks, or writes about anything except the superiority of his own power unit. It is difficult if not impossible for any nationalist to conceal his allegiance. The smallest slur upon his own unit, or any implied praise of a rival organization, fills him with uneasiness which he can only relieve by making some sharp retort.Source: https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the...n-nationalism/The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them. For quite six years the English admirers of Hitler contrived not to learn of the existence of Dachau and Buchenwald.

This is projection, again.
I’m not paying attention to this particular case, but it seems like forum shopping if you’re asking a federal district court to rule on the same issue that a state Supreme Court just ruled on. A state Supreme Court ruling should be going to SCOTUS for review, not a federal district court.
its not projection. you literally think the US military forcefully seized hardware in Germany
Chris sourced his 1984 book report entirely from a chapter in a Rush Limbaugh book.
yeah they're not seeking review, per se. but they are very clearly forum shopping, and post hoc at that.
Nosferatu gonna suck Trump supporters dry while he can.
Had Trash been re-elected, found some bull to declare marial law, abolish Congress, the Repugs would said nothing.
Only my opinion? nope, political observers have noted the degradation of the Repugs
GOP leaders’ embrace of Trump’s refusal to concede fits pattern of rising authoritarianism, data shows
Research by a team of international scholars shows
the Republican Party’s shift away from democratic norms predates Donald Trump but has accelerated since
“Its rhetoric is closer to authoritarian parties, such as AKP in Turkey and Fidesz in Hungary.”
the Republican Party score started to edge downward during the Obama administration
but fell off a cliff in 2016 with the ascent of Trump.
the demonization of political opponents
the rise of the tea party was a turning point, research shows.
“Angry protesters have frequently made claims ranging from
proclaiming Obama’s ‘socialist’ intentions
to making explicit Nazi comparisons to suggesting that
the President is defying or even subverting the Cons ution,”
By 2016, that sort of rhetoric had become the norm among GOP leaders.
Encouraging violence has become alarmingly common.
dozens of cases of violent crimes committed in Trump’s name
“willingness to support incivility, harassment, and violence are higher among President Trump’s supporters than among his opponents.”
​
underscores how much of the Republican Party has adopted the authoritarian beliefs and tactics of the president.
Many of the GOP leaders going along with Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud will still be in office after he leaves.
“That leading Republicans are not willing to defend the electoral process shows that Trump is not the only GOP politician who has a problem with key democratic norms,”
