After having conversations with quite a few Trump supporters, seeing a common theme that a lot of them really don't like #marginalized groups being allowed to vote, I'm noticing there has been a pretty strong uptick in messaging out of conservative / #authoritarian #propaganda sources like #HillsdaleCollege specifically talking about "the importance of the #ElectoralCollege." and to a lesser extent about preserving the #TwoParty system...

I think they are seeing the same thing I'm seeing: we are reaching a critical point of people being sick of the two-party system and all the other anti-#democracy systems in the #US government.

Once again, this election is a mandate on democracy itself, and I think we could get rid of the Electoral College in the next 4 years, and make a major dent in the two-party system by the end of the decade.

That alone is reason not to give up on democracy, and GO VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS.

School vouchers are one example of the stakes in legislative elections
npr.org/2024/10/04/nx-s1-51008

The November election in Arizona could determine whether a rapidly expanding school voucher program is reined in by the Legislature. That's the goal Democrats have — if they can get a majority.

J.D.Vance himself has admitted he is “plugged into a lot of weird, right-wing subcultures” and one of his faves is the obscure #ClaremontInstitute .

Spawned in Southern California out of the teachings of an academia entrenched #BarryGoldwater speech writer named #HenryJaffa , since his death, it has found new life embracing 21st century figures like #CharlieKirk , #RonDeSantis , #JohnEastman and actively seeks out extremist #RWNJ sheriffs for intensive "fellowships".

What #Politico terms "the intellectual nerve center of the Trumpist right " it's #thinktank was one of seven main influences recently highlighted as shaping recent #Catholic convert #JDVance and his #weird worldviews. Vance has eagerly embraced a host of #FarRight milieu members including members of secret societies, maverick publishers, and acolytes of advocates to "prioritize re-Christianizing America".

#Claremont Institute has rebranded itself from its right wing roots in #academia to a more fearsome forefront of racially divisive anti-Democratic alt right think tanks and what one prominent former #GOP campaign manager called the "West Point of American fascism".

Nowadays Claremont seeks out #socialmedia savvy and influential leaders, such as Vance, DeSantis & Josh Hawley who are white and wryly and openly contemptuous of the left, most minorities and even #democracy itself. Eagerly embracing divisions and propelling #MAGA Xtian supremacist ideologies, the place that brought you #Pizzagate is far from honest #AbeLincoln or other flag bearers of Claremont's #conservatism hailed at the orgs founding.

Nowadays, largely estranged from the CA based institution it was founded at, the founder of the Claremont Institute's archives are actually held at Michigan's rural #HillsdaleCollege—a private, #conservative #ChristianAcademy headed by one of the institute’s 70's era original members.

is sending me absolutely unhinged emails about The Great Reset with villains including a shadowy cabal of global elite, China, environmental justice and woke capitalism.

I always assumed they were just stodgy Constitutional Conservative sophists, but they seem deep in a Q-hole now.
