But why the GOP has turned fascist is often lost in the discourse. Mitchell's presence on this case shows why: They know they cannot win with free and fair elections. So they are focused on destroying democracy itself. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnp0diP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMndkOWF5N2JqYy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWg0YjJzM3kxYnImbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZcNjwsRljvVbfFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRnp0diP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvdXFiajYyY2V5bC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWg0YjJzM3kxYnJXA3NwY0IKZcNjwsRljvVbfFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnp0diP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvOGszbDIxdWJ6aS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWg0YjJzM3kxYnJXA3NwY0IKZcNjwsRljvVbfFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnp0diP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvcnU0Nnp6MTZ1bC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWg0YjJzM3kxYnJXA3NwY0IKZcNjwsRljvVbfFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnp0diP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvNW96dTBoend2Yy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWg0YjJzM3kxYnJXA3NwY0IKZcNjwsRljvVbfFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo MAGA will be the most hurt by a second Trump term From Chauncey DeVega: Trumpism, the MAGA movement and the larger neofascist project – and today’s right-wing and “conservative” movement more broadly – have had a demonstrably profound negative impact(s) on the literal health of the American people. In all, it is not just that Trump is a “sick fu*k (again: Trump the man is of little importance; he is a type of signifier and symbol) but that what he represents and has enabled (and made much worse) across American society is a type of collective pathology and public health crisis.

At the same time, the song’s revival through Combs highlights a longstanding feature of the music industry: white artists have a long track record of re-recording songs first popularized by Black artists to greater success than the songs' originators. Often when that happens, the first performer’s contributions are downplayed if not entirely erased. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnp0diP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsveTB4eDk1bTFuZC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWg0YjJzM3kxYnImbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZcNjwsRljvVbfFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).
