Had this event been well attended, it would have been populated mostly by young, upper-middle-class AEWMs (angry entitled white males) from the fraternity houses. Clearly, they had better things to do on a Tuesday night.

want anything to do with boots on the ground.

Which seems like the Republican Party is headed that way.

MAGA branded leather thigh high heels, some baby oil, a Slip n Slide, and 10,000 idiot MAGA incels at $20/month.

*Not that there's anything wrong with that.

should be criminal. The Bible Belt is an example of the racism, misogyny, and white nationalism that this kind of messaging which becomes multi-generational. I have seen it my entire life.

Once indoctrinated it is awful hard to change unless you move and are exposed to a wider segment of the population that includes minorities, and more open-minded people.

In my case after college, my work took me to Houston and later Austin where I met a genre of people much more compatible to my worldview. (It didn't hurt that it was the late 60s when "The Times they were a-Changin".

I wonder if the Hungarian government (likely using Russian funds) financed TP USA in addition to CPAC. If so, Erika is going to have to sell off her jewelry to keep it going.

But never underestimate the fascist right.
