Get Angry, Get Loud, Stay Calm
The goal is to overwhelm you with grief and rage. Do not give in to it.
The Supreme Court has proven what we have all known for decades — that it has been the Holy Grail of christo-fascists to get a majority on the Court. The Federalist Society, led by Knight of Malta and Opus Dei member Leonard Leo, is a long game operation with a singular focus — to gut the last 200 years of judicial precedent in order to create a Christian white ethnostate.
Donald Trump’s illegitimate victory replaced three Justices with compromised cult members that he promised would come from the Federalist Society’s sanctioned list of people willing to lie through their teeth about their intentions. None of them are guided by the Constitution. All of them are told how to vote.
This is textbook authoritarian capture, textbook fascism. They will dismantle gay rights, right to contraception, voting rights, etc. There is no line they will not cross and no knot they won’t twist themselves into to pervert the Constitution.
However, as Timothy Snyder, one of the best scholars on fascism, has said:
Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. Do not fall for it.
As bizarre as it is to say, the Supreme Court just unleashed a massive terrorist attack on the women of the United States. It will traumatize, financially cripple, and kill millions of women. It is a judicial nuke, and a twisted perversion of our system.
I am livid beyond words. But all of our job right now is not to freak out, but to get to work. This is an information war. We need to recognize it and fight it by the rules that exist, not the rules we wish were still there.
Four Justices — Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett have no business being on the Supreme Court at all. Thomas is married to an insurrectionist. Gorsuch stole Merrick Garland’s seat. Kavanaugh is a predator who cried and lied his way on the court after doing a back room deal with Anthony Kennedy. And Amy Coney-Barrett is a cult member who takes her orders from her husband and from five old white male “coordinators” who run her authoritarian Christian charismatic cult, People of Praise.
Unwinding fifty years of infiltration is going to take time but we have to start somewhere. Let’s begin by charging Ginni Thomas with Seditious Conspiracy and her husband as an accomplice:
Finally, you have every right to be angry, to grieve and be confused about what’s happening in America. But I will say this again:
Fascism does not stop on its own. It must be defeated.
To defeat this threat we have to stay calm and get organized — and we have to stay non-violent. But it is time for civil disobedience. It’s time for confrontation. It is time for tens of millions of men to act like it. Protect your mothers, wives and daughters. Stop being cowards. Wake the fuck up and fight.
We will get through this, y’all. But it won’t happen by itself.
I stand with women. The Supreme Court can go to hell. 🇺🇸🏴☠️
I just found out about this “ruling” 10 minutes ago. I agree with Jim and Timothy Snyder. Stay calm.
KatheO , just cry. Weep may be a better expression. Rage tears is good too. It really is healthy. It is normal to feel shocked and enraged. Channel the rage into the safest/healthiest way you can.
Go beat the shit out of some inanimate object, or play some music and TURN IT UP AND SING AS LOUD AD YOU CAN.
If you have addiction or affective disorders please be safe. Just has always worked for me in the past.
OK. ❤️ You all.
Here come the tears.
Let them fall. 🤍
