One does neatly to observe Morning Joe whether or not one likes any of the standard panelists and hosts, or now not (I occur to love them). It is vital as a result of, given the choices, it’s the display that the insiders in Congress and the White Area watch, even Republicans, whether or not they admit it or now not. One can quibble with the definition of “severe” on this context, however it’s the maximum severe political display introduced within the all-important time slot.
One of the crucial most powerful at the display has all the time been Mika Brzezinski, and she or he was once in particular on her recreation this morning in her reaction to listening to the Republicans’ reaction to the Kevin McCarthy tapes. Lots of them are merely waiving them away as… faux. There is not any truth in GOP global, now not one past the caricature they invent.
Mika listened Rep. Maria Salazar’s clarification of the tapes:
It was once edited. You spot, I do know the artwork of modifying, so I’m now not certain in what context. However what I’m announcing to you is that isn’t a question of looking for out it took place, what he stated is the entire tale. Don’t you guys see it, what you guys are doing? You already know, it’s like, historical past will pass judgement on the scoop organizations 100 years from now.
Improper. Historical past will pass judgement on this complete length because the transition from American democracy to an American dictatorship, and Mika is aware of a factor or two about dictatorships.
“My god. I do know her. She is aware of such a lot higher.”
Joe jumped in, selecting up Mika’s emphasis:
“Those other folks know they’re mendacity and so they know that we all know that they’re mendacity. They know that their rank-and-file know they’re mendacity, but they only stay mendacity.”
After noting that Rep. Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin additionally stated that one can’t ever believe the rest popping out at the moment as a result of they may be able to splice tape on the other hand they would like, Mika returned to her theme that blatant and informal lies of the sort that Trump used right through his upward push are actually the norm within the celebration.
Former White Area Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri stated the most obvious, a right-wing fascist takeover calls for the destruction of “fact:”
“This feels adore it is all of the identical combat. It’s like, it’s whataboutism, which is what Russia does. This is their play. The combat in Ukraine, how the Republicans are casually mendacity and everybody accepts it and expects it to occur, how that’s hurting Democrats once they don’t get up to combat again, each in the case of pushing again tradition battle, but in addition those fights take hang while you’re now not making growth. You already know, that’s when Democrats — while you’re now not making growth on behalf of operating other folks, this is when the tradition battle stuff takes position.”
Most of the people don’t take into account that propaganda, used maximum successfully, isn’t supposed to make anybody particular person imagine anybody factor at any given time. It’s to persuade other folks to surrender on the concept that the reality even exists in any respect, by no means thoughts whether or not they’re getting it. Everybody has an attitude. You’ll communicate to other folks status within the room who noticed one thing, you’ll have video of one thing going down, it’ll be defined away, everybody has an attitude, it’s simple to splice, create one’s personal video, it all. One will also be within the room, however are you able to believe what was once heard? Everybody has an attitude. There’s no such factor as fact. Everybody has their very own fact.
We see it on a daily basis within the Republican celebration and it’s the most powerful proof in life that they intend to take their celebration to the laborious appropriate, the fascist appropriate, a dictatorship. Confronted with demographics that obviously exhibit that their long term is one in all a minority celebration (and a minority race, if we confine it to white and particularly male), they don’t seem to be adjusting their ideals to draw extra other folks to their time table. No, they’re maintaining their time table and grabbing energy the one approach a minority celebration can, via fascism. And we’re looking at it occur in gradual movement.
As I reported the day prior to this, the Republicans have already got a plan to win in 2024 with out regard to the preferred vote. They’ll merely depend upon state legislatures and a puppet SCOTUS, 5-4 on a vital twelfth Modification query. Absent felony arrests, atmosphere out THE TRUTH, it’s all preordained.
