 I haven’t used a hashtag for an age, but this #BlueMAGA is ridiculous. It is an absolute 100% p... 
 @662bd95c I haven't seen much Blue MAGA stuff here. Those sort of things seem to disappear into the void on Mastodon. But yeah, it's trying to suppress votes via the disenchantment route. It's a normal thing, saying your opponent is not that great after all. But the vitriol and lies to back up the blue MAGA is similar to the attacks on Hillary in 2016 and the thirty years prior. 
 @f884fa2b Menendez not resigning makes chumps out of all the dems that had to resign for lesser offenses. 
 @d86237d2 Next year check out the Four Corners Balloon Rally in  in Farmington. Also, are there any local restaurants near the Fiesta park that open early to watch the balloons.?

 @52e2c9d0 @3967703f yes, It's very disturbing how many Russian moles are in the Republicans. I was thinking all that Russian money that came in via the NRA bought a whole lot of Republicans for Russia. And the entire MAGA movement is pro-Putin for free, because Putin is the 'Great White Hope' of the white autocratic conservatives of the world. #ConservativesReallyAreThatBad  #Conservatives #ConservativesAreRacists

 @7314db5d @098a11ae @6308f3bc the collapse of USA newspapers was shoved along by PE/Hedge funds draining them of their money. These funds have autocratic enemies of democracy as investors. So they happily will destroy the free press that used to be so critical of the autocrats for their human rights abuses. 
 @745ecb23 So it looks like Musk has totally thrown the proverbial (and literal) hat into the trump/putin dumptruck. 
 #NewMexico 423 years later and Juan De Oñate is still causing strife. 
 @a33bc735 I bet they use 'pro-person', as they want to declare that a fetus is a person. It's also totally disingenuous, perfect for the conservatives.

 @f884fa2b as an outsider, it looked to me like brexit was a backlash against migrants in the first place. All the arguments for brexit had the same look and feel to me as the anti-migrant racist arguments in the USA, and as what we heard from parts of eastern Europe when the Syrian refugees arrived.

 @f884fa2b Look how much damage Trump did in 4 years. he was unprepared then. Now his backers have him totally prepared.

 @f884fa2b Bannon is really being revealed as the architect of the new Republican party, sort of the their Thomas Jefferson figure. He's happy for large chunks of traditional Republicans to leave the party. After McCain and Romney lost, the ultra-right said they didn't want to start a new party, they would just take over the Republicans. And they did. #conservatives #Republicans
