Like a libertarian paradise of fiefdoms, with a Toecutter, Lord Humongous, or Immortan Joe leading each one.

Why does that sound amazingly like Putin’s Russia?

They wouldn’t have allowed Italians either (Alito and Scalia) and, in the war years, Gorsuch would also have encountered some problems.

I recall how we were taught in elementary that diversity was the richness & strength of America. Diversity & multiple cultures were celebrated with pride. This was instilled daily as we pledged allegiance to the flag. Only cultures & heirtage not celebrated & embraced were those of high melanin people. It saddens me to know that MAGA Americans & SACR’s will destroy & dismantle democracy before being inclusive of the very might & power of diversity that built USA. I feel like I’m watching all the petals fall from a beautiful flower.
It’s difficult & energy draining to watch all this hate drain the very soul & essence of America. Just depressing & exhausting.

A secret society that isn’t secret, with a “Maximum Leader” who operates out of Upland, CA and that only admits wealthy, white, trinitarian men and has a symbol that looks like a smiley exclamation point with a hat.
Not to wave away the organization’s potential for mischief, but, on the other hand, it seems … well … I dunno … self limiting?

Anyone stupid enough to conduct their personal life on their WORK computers deserve to be spanked, as publicly and loudly as possible.
And what’s their hangup with “Christian” marriage? Are they saying that marriages performed by rabbis and imams aren’t valid?

Especially in a country that has become as diverse as America is! We are not going back.

Seems to me that Native American Indians/First Nation/Indigenous peoples were really the ONLY people who could right claim to be “first.” The whole naming of “America” is stupid, IMO.
Let’s reclaim our nation as Abya Yala, or Turtle Island. That should make the wing-nuts pop their corks… Maybe they can go back to their Nazi motherland in Germany.

Yes, and Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the book the Little House series was based on was also an activist.
A longtime Democrat, she strongly opposed FDR’s New Deal, arguing that it infringed individual liberties, and she became increasingly libertarian in her beliefs.

Yep. Would be very interesting to hear what they have to say. Of course, they would never consent to be interviewed, but their denials would be interesting.

That too. It’s more subtle symbology that Tucker’s balls irradiator obelisk.

“The members identified by TPM don’t necessarily fit the profile of the disaffected, disgruntled loner or the amped-up, testosterone-fueled militia types often found on the paranoid right-wing fringe.”
Of course, same as it ever was. They will however use the disaffected, the disgruntled and the amped-up paranoid militia and police types to do their bidding and dirty work through the same tried and true methods of grievance and paranoia.

I mean, how fucking stupid (or privileged, or insulated) do you have to be to put this kind of information in your PUBLIC UNIVERSITY EMAILs?
Jesus Christ, I learned about clandestine and non-surveilled communications before I ever ENTERED a university, almost 40 years ago.
Absolutely. Stamp 'em out, root and branch. No mercy.
Uh, yes. “Every accusation is in fact an admission of guilt.” We’ve been saying on these boards literally for years.
It’s a reboot of 2nd wave KKK. The Rise and Fall of the Second Ku Klux Klan - The Atlantic
I’d say TPM (and Josh K!) have done enough. Anonymous ™ and citizen journalists (a la the 1/6 identification teams) will do the rest.
