Great analysis, as usual! It is testament to how batshit crazy the world is that this story has all but been forgotten in the news cycle. Knowing there are plenty more misinformed, militant misogynists like this out there, continuing to stoke their paranoid fires, is downright frightening.
Misogyny, hatred of authority, fear: sounds like the MAGA camp to me. Obviously, to one kind of male and also, alas, many Phyllis Schafleys, women exist only to serve males. But how did these knuckle-draggers become 48% of America? This is excellent analysis, as always, and maybe the start of a book. I’d like that.
I like this: "In the United States, we finally get a female Vice President, and all the press can talk about is her cookware purchases, her headphone choices, and how people don’t like her. This isn’t 1953. We aren’t the Taliban."
Hi Greg, thanks for another excellent investigative project.
Before we dismiss out-of-hand all paranoia of the US government, let’s do remember that there is *some* basis for serious concern about domestic abuse of govt. authority. (I won’t even get to CIA efforts outside our country). The assassination of JFK, an obvious cover-up job from soup to nuts, likely a very wide govt. conspiracy. Perhaps the assassination of MLK. The downing (likely unintentional) of TWA 800 by the US military, who that year were in the habit of tracking civilian jetliner flights as part of their training exercises. Something tells me that after they shot down that 747 they stopped those exercises.
Of course I agree with everything you are saying in principle. The government is *us.* Gretchen Whitmer is working for the people of Michigan. A bunch of sexist Deliverance hicks out in the woods will likely never get it, though. They would only support a Trump-style leader, white and male, racist and sexist, like them.
Hence my screaming at the TV on the morn of January 6th in my Michigan living room: "360 Capitol cops?!! You need 36,000!!" We Michiganders had already watched the horrid dress rehearsal at our Lansing capitol. I hate being right. BTW: My Proud Boy neighbor has lost some steam since he screamed he was going to DC to stop the man who wears ashes on his forehead from killing babies. Seems life is getting better for him under that fake Catholic's leadership.
