at the university of california in san diego. she has studied civil conflict for years from yugoslavia to northernire lnld. experts who study civil wars and know the warning signs, we ve been talking about them, but nobody wanted to believe it. and january 6th made it impossible to deny and ignore that there really was this cancer growing in our own country. there was a threat that was mobilizing. she warns the constant barrage of lies undermining american elections, right-wing media on social media and from trump himself has put the united states on a perilous path. citizens do believe what they are hearing. and if they hear it long enough and consistently enough, and if that s all they hear they absolutely don t think it s a lie. they think it s the truth. will you trust the next
catching on of, you know, citizens ratting each other out? it s it s like canceling your neighbor across the street or next door. what happened with that texas sb 8 law was that the supreme court made a decision by not making a decision, and they said, you know, stare decisis doesn t matter if we agree with the principle. they sort of said this passively. if we agree with the principle of the law, we don t care how crazy it is. instead of overturning it, which a lot of court watchers even on the conservative side thought would happen, instead they let it stand. so now the message was, if you re a conservative governor and you want to pass a crazy law, you have remember, trump has installed a third of the supreme court. so you have a kind of blank check to do whatever you want. and i think we re going to see more laws like this, and i think we re going to see these blue
candidates simply act like trump and refuse to admit defeat? the warning lights are blinking red this could happen. it s been dubbed the precinct strategy, and guess who s the senegaly driving this hostile take over? we re taking action, and that action we re taking over school boards, we re taking over the republican party precinct, we re taking over all the elections. we re going to take over the election apparatus. american citizens that are volunteering, they are going to volunteer to become a precinct committeeman, volunteer to become an election official, take over the secretaries of state. we re going to take this back village by village, precinct by precinct. we re going to take over the election apparatus, take over all the elections. the battle cry from insurrection
today we found out senate republican leader mitch mcconnell told cnn s manu raju he s encouraging gop candidates for congress to honor the election results in this country saying, quote, it s important for candidates to remember we need to respect the results of our democratic process unless the court system demonstrates that some significant fraud occurred that would change the outcome. i guess it s nice for mcconnell to say that, and it echoes some of the cautions to the party that we ve heard from him in the past like when he blamed trump for the insurrection but voted to acquit the former president during the impeachment trial. now i can hear all of you guys saying right now mitch, please. mcconnell husband had a year to cleanup this party, and frankly, he s blown it. we need to get rid of this january 6th commission and replace it with a november 3rd commission. this january 6th commission is a total sham and waste of time.
remember glenn youngkin campaigning in a fleece vest in virginia. he was running as a different kind of republican. i was told there was going to be a vest, not a soviet-style police state across the potomac from washington. yeah, it s really weird. he was elected you know, he wouldn t let trump come and campaign with him. he sort of pretended to be this kind of non-trumpy trump. and then as soon as he got in there, he started, you know, taking away masking in virginia public schools. he started with these teacher hotlines where you can rat out your teacher. i mean he s really gone full ron desantis right away. and it s not just youngkin. a recent report shows there are dozens of new proposals opening pathways to punish teachers teaching things that parents don t like. why doesn t this upset the traditional conservative tenets of liberty, anti-censorship, and freedom? i guess, you know, if you want to cancel your teacher, you just
