Margaret Atwood is a truly mad old bat. Just brilliant. I bet she had a lot of fun with that.
Note: If certain assholes try to really pull off a Gilead...make sure Margaret Atwood gets a flamethrower.

Fucking fuck.

During a recent livestream, Oklahoma GOP Senate candidate Jarrin Jackson declared that Congress is “not there to prevent school shootings.”

“You’re there to defend the Constitution,” he declared.

“And the Constitution includes the Second Amendment, which if you look at any kind of legitimate approach about what the Constitution means — because the Founders believed the bible and were mostly bible-believing Christians, they enshrined a document, the Constitution, that limits government because man is sinful,” Jackson continued.

Many things wrong, but eh.

There's kind of a blindness that develops to those who worship the Constitution. The faith of the founders isn't exactly easy to note, to express. It's less "they are bible thumbers" and more the founders leaned towards Deism. Smallest group were outright Deists. Largest group were Christians who leaned Deist.

Deism is the philosophical position and rationalistic theology that generally rejects revelation as a source of divine knowledge, and asserts that empirical reason and observation of the natural world are exclusively logical, reliable, and sufficient to determine the existence of a Supreme Being as the creator of the universe. Or more simply stated, Deism is the belief in the existence of God solely based on rational thought without any reliance on revealed religions or religious authority. Deism emphasizes the concept of natural theology (that is, God's existence is revealed through nature).
Which leads to: "Rejection of all books (including the Bible) that claimed to contain divine revelation." For example: "However, Jefferson considered much of the New Testament of the Bible to be false."

Second layer of blindness: blindness to the actual words of the Second Amendment. You know, that well regulated milita part. How that lead to "every citizen of the USA has a God-given right to own any firearm, regardless of size or firepower or they are going against GOD." That appears to be the NRA position, anyway.

Is she likely to win the nomination? If she's not, the WTF? Why is any news medium giving her any air at all? What's wrong with the Rolling Stone?

Because they haven't learned any lessons from the media's prime-mover influence in the creation of Donald Trump - a person they highlighted and platformed for the same reason - as a viable and then successful presidential candidate.

The American news media created Donald Trump, but not on purpose. Not because the media, at large, actually wanted or ever thought he could win. People like this lady and Donald Trump are picked up by the media because the media sees them as a political "Honey Boo Boo", a person that the public is supposed to listen to and watch and be entertained; to laugh at how stupid, ridiculous, backwards, and outrageous they are. Even while making fun of him, they carried every single one of Trump's campaign speeches live, preempting actual news, because people WANTED to see the spectacle - even people who hated what he was saying were addicted to watching him so they could laugh at the next fact he got wrong or made up, or the next time he contradicted himself.

The media has never understood that even their pointing and laughing is providing free campaign services for people like Trump. They've convinced themselves that some middle-America grassroots social uprising made Trump's success inevitable and they've really pushed that angle in all their post-Trump editorializing, and that's let them for the most part kind of whistle past the graveyard about their own culpability.

And that's not just my opinion. Do you remember Ron Paul's pathetic campaigns during the Obama-time and pre-? Ron Paul supporters were absofreakinglutely nuts. They were making literal actual gold coins with his face on them. They were doing all the internet memes about him. But he failed utterly because he just never got coverage - most of the people in the US prolly didn't even realize he was running. Ron Paul is what happens when the media doesn't platform a Donald Trump.

They did the same with Jerry Falwell as well.

Tip for any guys reading this: Trying to convince your woman to do freaky lesbian stuff by citing Marjorie Taylor Greene's assertion that straight people are going extinct is... inadvisable. As a matter of fact, she might make you go extinct.

I only disagree because I did not really follow him until he was president and I still cannot stand watching him.

Otherwise, I do agree that, at least at first, they didn't want him to win - but they are either stupid because they keep supporting the party that made him even possible.

Because Twitler swooped in and stole an apparatus the GOP has been building for decades now - he may or may not have broke it, but they were already planning this shit.
