Putin models revisionism for DeSantis and others who don't
like facts.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/10/12/karamurza-putin-russia-history-dictators/

It's an ancient Russian tradition, and one well known to
Dixiecrats and others defending minority rule.

Us Against Them is the Dixiecrat battle cry of minority
rule - hear what I say, don't watch what I do!

https://www.twincities.com/2023/08/02/stephen-l-carter-indicted-populists-have-a-history-of-staying-in-office/

Trump might well get at least a third of the votes, no
matter what.  They'll vote for what he says, not what
he does.

subordination to the superior race is  his natural and

The Heritage Foundation plan to dismantle the Federal
government, to make the country safe for their megadonors.

https://nytimes.com/2023/07/17/us/politics/trump-plans-2025.html

They sold it Trump that he'd have complete authority over
all Federal employees - to treat as his personal servants.

Why can't we agree to take care of children and families?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/16/political-polarization-solution-ej-dionne

But the job-creator megadonors - who pay for most politics
- oppose taxes to support improvident poor families.
That won't change as long as politics runs on unlimited
dark money.

Traditional conservatives don't understand the Trumpist
Dixiecrat GOP.      It's about cult of personality as a
means to defend minority rule - which means libertarianism
for billionaire megadonors and everybody else doing what
they're told.

GOP candidates vow that Supreme Court's job is to
protect minority rule - by protecting the single-issue
constituencies that can reliably vote GOP - so a GOP
Congress can stick to its assigned task of protecting

Independent civil service?

You can't count on them to defend minority rule!
But Trump's backers have a plan -

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/19/trump-plan-federal-takeover/

A self-serving opportunist at the top attracts self-serving

GOP voters giving up on democracy?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/06/republicans-democracy-polling/

They've followed the lead of the megadonors in accepting
that democracy will lead to the end of everything they
hold dear - minority rule by rich old white men.

Unimportant white men can be convinced that their
chances of becoming important white men are being stolen
by... everybody else.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/06/desantis-lgbtq-insecure-men/

Under minority rule, they never had any chances to steal,
but they've been told otherwise for 400 years.

Why would technologists give conspiracy mongers the time
of day?

https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/rfk-jr-anti-vaccine-message-tech-luminaries-silicon-valley-support/

Because they've come to understand that "libertarian"
minority rule depends on keeping the lunatic fringes
voting GOP.

https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/06/13/report-eight-silicon-valley-households-have-six-times-more-wealth-than-bottom-500000/

Feudalism - right here in Silicon Valley!      No wonder

The defense of feudal Dixiecrat minority rule is the
same today as on the first Memorial Day - still honored
by Trumpist Dixiecrats posing as GOP, saying one thing
loudly to the voters and doing the opposite quietly for
the megadonors.

There's a reason America's founders put the Establishment
