Across the nation, Republican-controlled state legislatures and conservative activists have passed bills and embraced legal strategies that encourage Americans to monitor one another's behavior and report their friends, family members, and neighbors to the authorities.

The bigger story is the rise of the right wing ------- in public.

Trump made his whole cult feel like it was ok to let your ugliness out.

A leader is a role model.

And trump is the type of person republicans want to copy. He does what he wants, says what he wants, whines, complains, pushes people out of the way.

So his stupid angry fascist cult does too.

Oh, how could anyone have predicted that placing a bounty onpeople who assist women from abusive relationships would be used by spitefuk ex paerners to make life miserable for their ex partners? Only everyone that is a decent human being. Republicanbacked laws like that actually do reveal the real intent of the so-called "pro-life" movement which is actually just a disguise for misogyny. Iy is a Fascist movement intended to force women into the traditiional roles lived by our Grandmothers That is the dirty littke secret about MAGA which really stands for Straight White Male Power a/k/a 1955!

While I do agree, I think it may be more sinister than that.

Trump made his whole cult feel like it was ok to let your ugliness out.

And yours as well. Feel free to hurl some more moronic insults or display your middle finger a la walz.

When people start acting like loud fascist --------, they deserve scorn. Don't whine about the consequences of your actions.

No surprise. The biggest MAGA I know personally is a woman I went to grade school with. She also was the biggest tattletale in our class. If any of our classmates acted up while the teacher turned her head or was out of the room Martha was always the one who would tell on them.
