We can learn an important lesson from the era of Joseph McCarthy.
The danger of fear, the power of courage. And how to defeat a demagogue.

these domestic terrorists have no place in a democracy
“Demagogues are political leaders who gain power and influence by appealing to the emotions and prejudices of the masses, often through rhetoric that is inflammatory and simplistic”.
MAGA simpletons.
AKA “Village idiots.”
Democratic Senators who backed Noem:
Senator John Fetterman
Senator Tim Kaine
Senator Andy Kim
Senator Gary Peters
Senator Jeanne Shaheen
Senator Elissa Slotkin
Also, Trumbo could write, too. One helluva screenwriter in his time.
Be fast.

Which made him very useful to the Russians in the long run
Can we get him to come out here?
Hey Sen Schiff's person who likes bluey 🙏🫶👋 lets have him come talk to people or something.
You don't wanna upset your donors. Okay. Fine. Play like a snake. Thank the man and invite him out here. Offer your support. California could learn a thing or two. Subtly make it clear. Do something for godsake.

They must be stopped now!!!
No unity.
No clear, concise message aimed at the heart of the middleclass.
No way for them to regain voters who fled the party because of Democratic inaction.
Trumps crypto and Musks money place us in a place where the rich are above the law. Citizens United allowed this. And now Legislature fear monied retribution. Repeal CU, before things will get worse. This is not rhetoric nor hyperbole. This is serious.
The recent SAVE act for example.

That there are f*cks like you in government.
It isn’t with strongly worded letters.
Historically it has taken a LOT more.
???
Who are you stopping?
What bills have you brought to the floor?
When are you going to start filibustering?
Where are your other Dems?
Why should we believe you?
How are you going to do this?
McCarthy was also a drunk beside a villain.
Attack his support to weaken him, or at least to force his hand.
Every action has a cost and a reaction—so don't worry about "he'll just pardon them."
We need authorities that will make these arrests.
We must figure out how to educate gop voters, and NOW!
Those of you with the power to do something,
DO SOMETHING!!!
Defeating it was pretty much a matter of McCarthy losing steam, getting sick, and dying
But corporate media was less corporate back then
Focus on the root cause or face the consequences
We'd like to abolish evil and cruelty from under the sun.
The movement is already here, and moving.
PROSECUTE!

I feel that we all need to contact our representatives & senators on a regular basis.
China really punked him with 34% being the first volley back at his stupid tariff war.
I'm spending a lot of my calls yelling at my useless GOP Rep...
Tends to develop hoarseness.
Thank you Mr schiff🇨🇦
Folks need coaching!!!
.
The authors of Project 2025 are directing the regime.
They want to break US down to recreate US in a confederate dystopia.
They believe in white-nationalism and authoritarianism.
They claim to be "Christian" but they are PRETENDERS
They ALL must be held to Justice.
The Hitler-like actions being taken these days comes more from the P2025 crew.
Congress & Senate are OK getting $174,000+ to *talk* hard though!

Joseph Welch standing up to mccarthy today would result in trump supporters going on the bad place, screaming "cry more" and calling themselves the undecent.
Remember that when someone says we need to reach out to them.

But alas, in America we stop teaching about bad history in about 3 generations. Few young people today know much about the Holocaust. Keeping people under-educated seems to be more important currently.

Roy Cohn was also ago and Trump’s mentor.
No amount of Sabre rattling will save you, any of you, at this point.
Nothing you say can be taken seriously.
Kiss the midterms goodbye.
You sociopathic neoliberal Zionists are going to do what you do best in the midterms, and that is to lose on purpose. Good riddance to the Democratic Party Incorporated.
BTW, there is a connection between McCarthy and tRump named Roy Cohen, may he rot in hell.
Serious business, put your money where your mouth is, speak loud, arm up, & show out. I dare you to live free & be an American.
Assisted by Roy Cohn and starting with wild accusations of the Red Scare; then moved attacked homosexuals. Roy Cohn mentored Donald Trump, Roger Stone.
The worst of the worst.
