Lee-Jackson Day in Lexington, Virginia
https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2021...state-holiday/For the first time in more than 100 years, the Commonwealth of Virginia did not observe Lee-Jackson Day.
Despite it no longer being a state holiday, the Virginia Flaggers and the Stonewall Brigade of the Sons of Confederate Veterans still gathered in Lexington to celebrate the day.
“Well for us, it’s a family or blood matter. We’re all descendants of Confederate veterans,” said Brandon Dorsey of the Stonewall Brigade of the Sons of Confederate Veterans
The city has seen some major changes in terms of recognizing its own history in the last year.
Virginia Military Ins ute removed its Stonewall Jackson statue and the cemetery formerly named for the Confederate general is now named Oak Grove.
Mayor Frank Friedman said the city has had a year full of reflection and hard conversations.
“There is no finish line, getting along being respectful and working together, is a perpetual motion, and that’s something that never changes,” said Lexington Mayor Frank Friedman.
But Lee-Jackson Day organizers like Brandon Dorsey believe that change is not always good thing.

Here. European checking in.
Racism and political violence are fundamental Repug features.
Trash's Capitol-raping BigLie was that his re-election was stolen by voter fraud.
That's puro Repug. Repugs have been LYING about voter fraud from at least 2000.
Trash's BigLie (Hitler's was that the Jews caused all the suffering of Germans) will be used, with partisan gerrymandering, by Repugs to further oppress voting rights, violating "equal treatment"
Sen. Rob Portman announces he'll retire in 2022.
Goes to the post I made about where the GOP is heading the other day with Will Hunting. This is only good news for democrats. Is all about the gains.

State GOPs Putting All Of Their Eggs In Tin Foil Baskets
Let us remind you that these people actually believed that,
other than Donald Trump, basically every political official was out there eating babies for Satan, and
that they were being led in this by actor Tom Hanks and
that the United States was in the business of child sex trafficking (again, for Satan).
Many of them attempted an actual coup.
That's not really "patriotism."

Just let Sherrod pick the candidate. Don’t even have a primary
Not sure who’d be more vulnerable - a nutcase like Gym Jordan running, or a moderate who beats Gym Jordan in a contentious primary but pisses off MAGA s in the process.
That whole Hawaii QAnon thing is quite a journey.

I have to start thinking whether this is a parody account.

well they were correct in calling it a religious movement
State Republican parties are lurching even farther rightward after failure of violent coup
State Republican parties, in particular, are continuing to aggressively embrace the hoaxes, conspiracy theories and cult notions justifying the attempted violent insurrection to reinstall Donald Trump as an illegitimate leader.
They are also retaliating against those Republicans who refused to abet those efforts.
Long a extremist hub, the Arizona Republican Party has been moving the swiftest to dole out consequences to anti-fascist Republicans.
Lurching farther rightward still, the Texas Republican Party encouraged its allies to travel to neo-Nazi friendly site Gab while identifying itself with a pro-"Q" conspiracy trope.
Donald Trump may be gone, left to stew for the moment on his loss and whether he truly wants to form a new far-right party or simply blow it off and go golfing, but
the party that chose him as its incompetent, dishonest, blustering, and criminal figurehead has, if anything,
only solidified its embrace of fascist techniques and principles.
They are redoubling their efforts to
radicalize their base,
battle truths with hoaxes and
to further impede the ability of non-white, non-conservative Americans to cast votes at all.

"Law and order" types generally DGAF about law or order, but they do envy the police monopoly on legitimate force.
racism, racist violence, political violence are fundamental to Repug strategy
Racist Nixon's War on Drugs is a huge (racist) success
So guess he's purging Dear Nazi, with a nice fat lobbying job lined up for 2023?
Portman will be replaced by someone way more to the right
True, prob Gym Jordan
