The Traditionalist/Vigano/Burke Catholic movements have taught the Flynn's well in the art of distortion. Now, you and I have not fallen for this horse hockey. Yet, there have been many who do get their minds warped in these matters. You may know of someone, even a family member. I cannot say if it was Gen. Michael Flynn as Q that warped these minds; yet he has weaponized this mind warp. A distinct function of mind warp is to target people who are, humbly speaking, not educated. Since the human brain is supposed to be a sponge to soak in experiences; reactionary conservatives provide just enough of the means to let people advance yet they will suppress most educational functions to allow people the means, tools, and knowledge to be better. That usually means a suppression of independent thought, to say nothing of no access to books and libraries.
Today, we are seeing the weaponization of the uneducated and the fooled. The most obvious means of this tactic is to claim “the people” demand such things that the reactionary conservatives want. And it is supplemented by spectacle. Here, just one example: the GQP cannot explain why the 2020 presidential election would be “stolen” without reverting to saying some crap like “Donald Trump has rallies and boat parades”. Yes, and? Many of our fellow Democrats and intellectuals neglect to equal if not better these stupefying observations which mean nothing. I have not recently seen any formal countermeasure to supplant Twitter and/or supplant the ownership of the social media app by Elon Musk (read: Vladimir Putin). This just led to an exponential growth of fake news, false information, and more bots.
Unlike many, I would like to believe that I have a long memory of past events and current and future events. I guess 2 years ago counted as a lifetime before. Few remember why Joe Biden was elected President. Let me give a reminder of why the Democratic Party is needed and why this Biden presidency has succeeded.
Access to vaccines for Sars-CoV-2 and variants.
Funding of arts.
Green policies and Great Reset agenda give attention to implementation.
Government stability.
Minimal social media overexposure.
Potential to combat, as best as can be, the climate emergency.
A government dedicated to funding democracy abroad.
Funding of scientific education.
Funding of education.
Honors are given to people who deserve honors, not exclusive to donors and lackeys.
Job creation at its peak in a decade.
Of course, there are other more specific examples. On a personal matter, under the Biden Presidency I have been blessed with a niece and a nephew. If you have been following my emails, you will know that my family and I lost the potential for a living nephew in 2020. That has mercifully changed. They have the potential to live in a world and society that will be far better than what we currently live in. I cannot say the same if this were a Republican/Donald Trump like presidency. So, I have not forgotten the pain and desperation we felt only a mere 2 years ago. And I have personally made a commitment not to go back to those days. Hopefully, others will feel the same. As I finish this email, the Presidency of Brazil has now been given back to the more liberal minded. There is hope, yet there is a finite period for the correct decision to be made.

Thank god it looks like Lula may have squeaked one out, at least until Bolsonaro starts cranking on the Big Lie election denialist propaganda and lights the fuse with that . . .

Nothing gets out the Brazilian vote like a message from a 🎃 with a bad combover.
