What the Is MAGACommunism?
“MAGA Communism” went viral on social media last month, and
its supporters think it’s a serious theory that can reshape American politics.
A new ideology of prosperity and working-class unity, built on the ashes of America’s liberal democracy.
“It sounds crazy. It’s called ‘MAGA Communism,’ and the ‘communism’ thing means common wealth, common prosperity,”
“We all come together: the workers striking at the railways,
the MAGA industrial working class,
the small farmers,
we all unite with our power.
We kick out the globalists.
We kick out George Soros.
We kick out Klaus Schwab.
Don’t forget to kick out Biden, either,” the man interjects.
“Absolutely,” Haz says. “Let’s go Brandon!”
We stop that Great Reset agenda in its tracks.”
Haz is one of a number of self-proclaimed communists
who are pushing the notion that anyone who cares about
the working class should abandon the liberal “culture war” and
ally with America’s largest anti-establishment populist movement—MAGA—ultimately in the name of inciting a populist revolution.

Evan McMullin Rips Sen. Mike Lee Apart In Brutal Senate Debate
McMullin called out Lee for supporting Putin and being the only US Senator not sanctioned by Russia:
McMullin blasted Lee for telling Trump to listen to Sidney Powell:
McMullin told Lee that he betrayed the American republic, and “When the barbarians were at the gate, you were happy to let them in.”
. Lee’s texts to Mark Meadows showed that he brought up the idea of a fake slate of electors at least three times.
The wildly popular in Utah, Sen. Mitt Romney has refused to endorse Lee, and the in bent Republican is in a close race with McMullin.

Deranged Marsha Blackburn Falsely Claims ‘Biden Cabal’ Conspiring to Keep COVID Going
“You just can’t make these things up.
He said very definitively more than once that Covid is over and the pandemic is over.
And because of that now – the team behind him, what I call that cabal in the White House –
they have to keep this pandemic going so that they can spend more taxpayer money the way they want to.”

Fox News leaders 'full on freaked out' over who leaked Kanye West rant from their unaired footage
they are desperate to find the leaker.
Carlson interviewed West, who now goes by the mononym Ye, and touted him as a brave truth-teller
Ye claimed that he’d rather his kids learn about Hanukkah than Kwanzaa
since 'at least it would come with some financial engineering.'
His assertion that 'professional actors' had been 'placed into my house to sexualize my kids.'
He said he trusted Latinos more than 'certain other businessmen' —
a vague descriptor he used to 'be safe.'
Ye also told Carlson that he had 'visions that God gives me, just over and over,
on community building and how to build these free energy, kinetic, fully kinetic energy communities.'"

Why Marjorie Taylor Greene is becoming 'the most powerful woman' in Trump's GOP
In his new book, "Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind," journalist Robert Draper carefully details how
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is the true face of the 21st-century Republican Party.
Trump and his fever swamp-dwelling lieutenants successfully remade the Republican Party over in their own image.
In this deeply reported book, the New York Times Magazine contributor traces how the quisling leadership of the GOP,
plus a voting base drunk on decades of right wing propaganda,
brought us to where we are today — at the brink of democratic collapse.
Trump is without question the leader of the Republican Party.
His lieutenants like Marjorie Taylor Greene hold an outsized amount of influence in the party.

Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind
The disturbing eyewitness account of how
a new breed of Republicans--led by
Marjorie Taylor Greene,
Paul Gosar,
Matt Gaetz,
Lauren Boebert, and
Madison Cawthorn
--far from moving on from Trump, have taken the politics of hysteria t o even greater extremes and brought American democracy to the edge
"the big steal" has become dogma among an ever-higher percentage of American Republicans.
With a base whipped up into a perpetual frenzy of outrage by conspiracy theories--
not just about the big steal but about COVID and vaccines, pedophilia and Antifa and Black Lives Matter and George Soros and President Obama, and on and on and on--
the forces of reason within the GOP are on the defensive, to put it mildly.
He has never seen it this ugly.
this book tells the story of a
fearful test of our ability, as a country, to hold together
a system of government grounded in truth and the rule of law.
Written on the eve of the 2022 midterm elections, Draper's account of
a party teetering on the precipice of madness reveals how the GOP fringe became its center of gravity.

Trump and allies have a new 'obsession' with destroying mail-in voting in Pennsylvania
the former president and his allies still harbor an "obsession" with mail-in voting, and have set their sites on repealing a bipartisan Pennsylvania law that passed in 2019 that allows for no-excuse mail-in voting.
Although Act 77 passed with bipartisan support,
Republicans have since turned against it after Trump blamed mail-in voting,
as well as a mul ude of other conspiracy theories
including voting machines purportedly rigged by late Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez,
for his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Repugs will pass laws

2. Federal abortion ban, no exceptions
3. Federal mail-in voting banned, qualifying for exceptions will be extremely laborious

McCarthy Signals GOP Plan to Attack Social Security, Medicare
"The future of Social Security and Medicare is on the ballot this November," said one advocate.

Legal expert sketches out ‘grim scenario’ where Republicans impose minority rule for the ‘foreseeable future’
poised to attain their longtime goal of a permanent majority if they retake Congress next month and
the U.S. Supreme Court rules in their favor in a major election case.
A GOP-led House would end the Jan. 6 investigation and
possibly impeach President Joe Biden, and
the Supreme Court could essentially hand the presidency to Republicans if they rule in favor of the so-called “independent state legislature theory”
"Republicans will keep control of the White House because Republican state legislatures will say so."

democracyAn insidious ideology called 'neoreaction' is creeping into GOP politics
in recent months, a strand of conservative thought whose
adherents are forthright in their disdain for democracy
has started to creep into GOP politics.
It’s called “neoreaction,” and
its leading figure, a software engineer and blogger named Curtis Yarvin, has ties to at least two GOP U.S. Senate candidates, along with Peter Thiel, a major GOP donor.
this as one of the more significant developments in right-wing politics.
Someone who calls himself a monarchist isn’t being relegated to the fringes of the internet.
He’s being interviewed by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and
has U.S. Senate candidates repeating his talking points.
Yarvin cites his political influences.
They include the 19th-century political philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who disdained democracy and thought it could too easily veer into mob rule;
American 20th-century political theorist James Burnham, who became convinced that elites would come to control the country’s politics while couching their interests in democratic rhetoric;
and economist Hans-Hermann Hoppe, who, in his 2001 book “Democracy: The God That Failed,” wrote of how all organizations – irrespective of size – are best managed by a single executive.
Bill Barr/ head Cheney's "unitary executive!
Yarvin is perhaps best known for his concept of “the cathedral” – his term for the U.S. ruling regime. Yarvis argues that virtually all
the “marketplace of ideas” is actually a “monoculture” that props up an oligarchy.
The cathedral is self-reinforcing
Another important neoreactionary figure is Nick Land, whose main contribution to the philosophy is the concept of accelerationism.
based on Vladimir Lenin’s notion that “worse is better.”
the more chaotic conditions became, the greater the likelihood that his Bolshevik party could accomplish its goals.
, Yarvin has coined the acronym “RAGE” – Retire All Government Employees – as a crucial step
“neocameralism.”
He advocates for a centrally managed economy led by a monarch –
perhaps modeled after a corporate CEO –
who wouldn’t need to adhere to plodding liberal-democratic procedures.

Bannonist-Leninism
But he stands out among right-wing commentators for being probably the single person who’s spent the most time gaming out how, exactly, the US government could be toppled and replaced — “rebooted” or “reset,” as he likes to say — with a monarch, CEO, or dictator at the helm. Yarvin argues that a creative and visionary leader — a “startup guy,” like, he says, Napoleon or Lenin was — should seize absolute power, dismantle the old regime, and build something new in its place.
To Yarvin, incremental reforms and half-measures are necessarily doomed. The only way to achieve what he wants is to assume “absolute power,” and the game is all about getting to a place where you can pull that off. Critics have called his ideas “fascist” — a term he disputes, arguing that centralizing power under one ruler long predates fascism, and that his ideal monarch should rule for all rather than fomenting a class war as fascists do. “Autocratic” fits as a descriptor, though his preferred term is “monarchist.”
