You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story.
When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement.
It's the world's laziest status symbol.
The starter kit is always the same:
*A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago.
*A gun they'll never actually need.
*A Bible they've never actually read.
*And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their....
Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard?
FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody.
He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior!
And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it.....

@PullMyFinger47@ArtCandee@ryanhallyall A bit of a late reply here but just because I'm not a bootlicker who has guzzled the orange koolaid doesn't mean that I'm not American. In fact, I could argue that by standing up for the constitution & against kleptocracy, I'm more American than you.
@PullMyFinger47@ArtCandee The on the ground chasers, @ryanhallyall , & the career meterologists at the NWS saved lives, not Trump or Vance. Unfortunately, there won't be any help from FEMA for recovery. That's not bs politics. It's reality. The grifters in office absolutely impact events like this.
BREAKING: There has never been a better time to retweet this video of six brave lawmakers reminding the men and women in our military to REFUSE UNLAWFUL ORDERS from Trump.
Let’s make this go viral again.
