It’s only election interference when conservatives do it! Yesterday, the Financial Times ran a story headlined, “Elon Musk gives $75mn boost to Donald Trump’s presidential run.” The subheadline ominously warned readers, “World’s richest man aims to sway outcome of November election with donation.” Interference!

Where, you might ask, are all the Financial Times articles about George and Alex Soros and their election-swaying donations? It would seem all the Soros swaying stories are printed in Chinese calligraphy on grains of rice launched into the Sun.

And how about that sub-headline? World’s richest man aims to sway outcome of November election with donation. First of all, Elon’s donation wasn’t even the biggest donation of the season, or even close, or they’d have trumpeted that fact. Second, doesn’t everybody who make a donation, however small, “aim to sway the outcome?” Otherwise, why donate?

I mean, even the little old ladies on Social Security who make 8,235 untraceable small-dollar donations in three days on ActBlue hope to sway the election. (Or somebody did.)

Deeply ironically, while trying to assassinate Elon’s character, the Financial Times accidentally published his message, resulting in free political advertising for the space billionaire.

Musk, who supported Democrats in
previous elections, has described the 2024
vote as his final hope for US democracy
and claimed that illegal immigrants would
take over the country if Harris won.
"If Trump doesn't win this election, it's the last election we're going to have,"
said Musk last week on Republican pundit Tucker Carlson's show on X. The
billionaire added that he was "all in" for Trump.

Maybe those two paragraphs land differently for Democrats, but I was persuaded. Thanks, Financial Times!

Climate change fearmongers Obama and Albanese love their coastal homes

It was just earlier this year that we reported on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg building a fortress on a Hawaiian island, despite sounding the alarm on climate change and rising sea levels. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, of the mainstream centre-left Labor party, a ‘man of the people’, has also spread fear about climate change and even offered those “at risk from rising sea levels caused by climate change” the “right to resettle in Australia”.

We accuse Trump, aka Hitler, of promising to jail his political enemies. We’d never do that. We’d never jail someone for Contempt of Congress if they refused to give us the information we needed. Steve Bannon is the fascist. That’s why he was sent to jail for the four months leading up to the election in an attempt to cripple the MAGA movement.

That’s what we want. We want to silence speech. We want to control the press. We want to control Hollywood. We want it all and are prepared to destroy anyone who gets in our way.

We support protests as a fundamental right to free speech, but only on our side because they help us force everyone to agree with what we believe. The more violent they were, the less anyone in the media condemned them for it, the more powerful we became.

Of course, it would have helped us make the case that Trump was a fascist if he’d, say, opened fire on protesters, sent in the military, thrown them all in solitary, like the Biden administration did after January 6th. But just because Trump didn’t do that then we know for fact he’ll do it if he’s re-elected.

We used the January 6th protest and riot as a warning to all Americans that they better not doubt anything we decide to do with our elections or else. Did they think they had a First Amendment right to show up in DC that day?

So what if some of them were so demoralized they committed suicide after their entire town turned on them, banks closed their accounts, and their employers fired them? That’s what they get for supporting a fascist.

When you see them gather in New York today - the truck drivers, the waitresses, the teachers, the parents, the grandmas it is best not to see them as people but as cult members who are no longer welcome in our country.

That is, unless they decide to support Kamala Harris. Did you think you had free thought and a personal choice of how to vote? You only have one choice. Otherwise, we’ll ruin your life. We’ll smear you. We’ll blacklist you. We’ll attack you. We’ll dehumanize you.

Thankfully Kamala Harris avoided a primary we knew she couldn’t win. We can’t let a pesky thing like democracy get in the way of stopping fascism. She participated in a necessary coup to remove a duly elected candidate because otherwise, how do you stop Hitler?

We have a lot of cleaning up to do, we anti-fascists, don't we? We have a whole country to save, and we have to tell all those people in those small towns who are worried about the border or future wars or indoctrination in public schools or the economy that they have to keep voting us into power because we are the only thing standing between them and fascism.

If you hear the distant sound of laughter, applause, or pure joy booming out of the mean streets of Manhattan today, turn off the part of your heart that wants to join in and find your way back to freedom. Freedom is just another word for fascism.

It’s a fear campaign targeting single young women and it has been incredibly effective.

The central, cynical message is, unless you vote for Harris, you’ll have to raise babies by yourself and no one will want you. (This post is not about people’s various principled objections to abortion; we’re discussing Democrats’ political strategy.) Democrats offer a way for young women to enjoy sexual freedom without fear, and that offer has been attractive to that demographic. (by contrast, men and married women lean Republican.)

This strategy is nihilistic, cynical, and an ethical black hole. The Democrats could care less about personal freedom and autonomy, as the pandemic’s mandates and medical passports proved beyond argument. The abortion issue is just a cynical political ploy to terrify single women into voting blue. Look, they even ditched their favorite motto after vaccine protestors touched it:

Celinda Lake, a Democratic strategist and pollster based in Washington, D.C., said "My
Body, My Choice" is no longer polling well with Democrats because they associate it
with anti-vaccination sentiment.

But I digress. After Roe v. Wade was reversed, and after several states outlawed recreational abortions, and after the Democrats’ relentless drumbeat about unwanted babies, you would think, as Politico does, that higher female turnout is all about single women’s fears of raising unplanned infants alone.

that higher female turnout is all about single women’s fears of raising unplanned infants alone.
