I have nothing but lasting anger at how these folks have killed women by having them carry dead babies and become jailed over miscarriages; and how they have criminalized the working poor of this country. Working poor pay taxes yet they are not entitled to healthcare, food assistance, decent schools , infrastructure , decent housing and the list goes on….. Nice to have insights into these — voter roll purging Trump Republicans— but all I see for them is a special place in hell. At this point, I do not give a rat’s ass WHAT they think after all the hurt they have caused and are still causing to this country.

Did you see Reverend Jackson call for a boycott of MSNBC (excluding Rev Al)?

He doesn't speak much these days, but he insisted he speak up for you in his own voice.

Here's the video cued up at the 1:08 mark:

The full video is an ambitious undertaking, linking the New Apostolic Reformation, the "dark enlightenment" or NRx, DEI, and The Powell Memo in under an hour.

I'm incredibly grateful to find you here and loving these deeper dives.

So why did you showcase Bannon? Give him oxygen? In an inverted way promote his warped, yes it is warped, mental gyrations to support an irrational alternate reality. All of these people, intelligent in a John Kaczynski way, are psychologically impaired.

Because it's important to know what the people on the other side are saying and hearing. The bubble isn't really safe.

There is no bubble. We are assaulted all the time with what they are saying. To seriously consider/debate any of it is an affront to rational discourse. Be aware yes. But do not give it oxygen. These rants need to be labeled what they are. Simply. The result of a warped mind. I recall the testimony of a young man who participated in the January 6 March on the capital. He clearly stated how he had become brainwashed into thinking that the election had truly been stolen despite all the evidence it hadn’t and he recognized that he was not thinking correctly. This is what needs to be showcased. Those who literally come to their senses need to be given all the oxygen we can give them.

Why is no one vandalizing my tesla? I hate it. I only bought it because it had immediate acceleration while most other cars did not yet have it. I dislike that huge computer screen that cannot be used while driving. I use a Mac and trying to learn their stupid operating system is the worst. I'd sell but no one wants them. I'm at a point where I'd give it away to charity but I doubt they would want it. Besides my husband likes it.

Joyce, this is the best substack I have read. Damn Girl you know how to get to the best explanation of what is going on. Although the first part of this made me sick about the disrespect show by heroes in our history. Too bad we have none today. Keith Olbermann did a podcast on this travesty on Thursday. March 20. His comments on Jackie Robinson are so moving I wanted to cry. And then when he discussed all the others my hatred began to well up for this travesty. I don't want to hate, but I am only human.

But, as much as I hate Bannon, there are so many things I agree with him. Like you, it is not easy to agree with someone so vile. But God gave everyone at least one good chromosome. Satan created those in the felon White House.

I disagree with the comment that W. was the worst president. This disconnect with those who disagree with you was created by that evil demented reagan. He was so deep in dementia he was a puppet for that evil witch nancy and the repugs she brought to her coven. After him, the country was never the same. W. was just dumb and had to finish the job daddy didn't. He is a worthless piece of dna breathing and the world will be better when they are all gone.

Back to your post. I am so impressed and I can clearly see what is happening much clearer now and it all makes sense. But at least now we know what we are fighting.

Joyce, if you don't mind me saying this, but the best thing for us was for you to leave MSVICHY. (another Olbermann term) You always had the best show because you discussed issues no one else would and had guests no one else had. Now you have the freedom to put this talent out there for evveryon to see and hear. TV "news" has too many constraints. You are the best thing/person who has happened to substack. Thank you for what you do and say.

Thanks for the explanation of technofeudalists in Bannon's world. Maybe we can use that talking with "rebel rousers" we come across promoting more democrat congresspeople with canvassing and postcard campaigns. Dems need to start offering some kind of plan to fix the "left behind" complaints of so many. We need to promote reforming wall street and banking regulation so 2008 can never happen again, as importantly as avoiding the takeover coup by PUTruMusk.

Great piece! I love “seeing” you on the page 💪🙏

The through line from Barack taking Oval, the “birth” of the TeaParty to now is bigger than an Interstate … so, as you allude, why have so many VSP not seen it, or, accurately gauged the gravity? It was never just “shenanigans”. IYKYK.

There’s a movie from 2010 or 2011 that presciently taps into so-called techno feudalism … https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS5Vg5iRKK8f_uwybRQdVGnEkha-FDl4v37oA&usqp=CAU
