Today's Beau


Republicans are unwilling to ease off their strangle hold on the Daddy State fantasy that all you have to do is say something to make it real.

So it's really not weird to hear them say, "the FBI is corrupt and nobody should put any stock in anything they say", and then turn around and tell us, "The FBI has a tape that can't possibly be anything but true" - because - you know - it's the FBI.

Daddy State Awareness


THE BASICS:

  • The Daddy State lies as a means of demonstrating power.
  • The lies have practically nothing to do with the subject of the lies.
  • Lying about everything is a way to condition us - to make us accept the premise that they can do anything they want.

The goal is to dictate reality to us.


Stop wondering why the Republicans go on taking Rudy Giuliani's word for anything. It's not Rudy they're relying on - it's the simple concept that all you have to do is repeat the lie until it becomes a cultural constant.

"When legend becomes truth, print the legend."

Trump tried to pull that shit at least three times.
  1. The Zelenskyy call: "I need you to do us a favor though." He wasn't looking for the Ukrainians to start an actual investigation. All he wanted was the headline. ie: "Ukraine To Investigate Biden"
  2. The call to DOJ: "Just say you're investigating, and let my Republicans in congress do the rest."
  3. The Georgia call: "...find me 11,780 votes." Again, he wasn't asking them to dig up the actual ballots. He just wanted to create the suspicion that the Georgia results were in question.
Every time, he just wants the appearance of impropriety. He pumps up the institutions' public image of rock-solid trustworthiness when he wants to cast shadows on his opponents &/or when he needs them to whitewash whatever shitty thing he's done. And when those institutions don't cooperate, suddenly they're corrupt and deep state and the worst thing ever.
