Obviously, I’m both being sarcastic and massively oversimplifying things. This is just one tiny splinter of the cause of fascism, not the entirety of it.
Honestly, I’m even more confused now. White supremacists were using it against “RINOs”
The original insult makes sense in that context (man who’s spouse is unfaithful), but in this diagram it was listed with oppression of identity and sexuality. The only way my brain seems to interpret that is by assuming the word is used in its fetish form which makes even less sense to me
In the diagram you can substitute that word for any non-mainstream sexual or gender thing. It really doesn't matter what - they'll scapegoat anything as long as it's a minority, elicits disgust from the in-crowd and reinforces any of the things it connects to with dashed lines.
Pedophilia is a good one because it relates to 'defending women & children', makes the enemy look weak, causes sexual anxiety and elicits disgust. Hence 'Save the children' and all that.
The diagram maps the conceptual framework behind it all - it's best not to get too literal about any of the individual words.
If, in the 2000s, you wrote a novel detailing the reality of the Trump presidency, campaign, his manipulation of SCOTUS & it’s subsequent rulings, I think it would have been rejected as farcical - pure sick fantasy. Trump world is grotesque and I feel like a lot of our media still hasn’t articulated just how fucked up all of this really is.
Defence lawyer Sean O’Brien told the Star that she will still need help because she has spent most of her life in prison and was ineligible for social security.
So she was locked up for a crime she didn’t commit and was straight up framed by cops to protect one of their own, was prevented from working for her entire life, and now she’s of retirement age and can’t even get social security or a pension or nothing. Simply atrocious. I hope the inevitable lawsuit is worth millions.
Unfortunately, unless things have changed it seems like she’ll get screwed by the state again. Many states seem to have laws that limit what the wrongfully convicted can get in terms of compensation.

Twin Beechcraft 60
This plane is from the 60s. It’s unique because it has electromechanical systems and piston prop engines. These were replaced by IC circuits and turbo prop engines. It’s super cool and handles well. But, no one wants to own one because of the cost of keeping it running.
Guess: was already navigating to a restricted airfield; electromechanical failure of flight controls created a severe aviation problem, perhaps with a secondary failure as the pilot continued to compensate
They can’t at this point, as the primaries have already happened. Their only option to change candidate now is to have the party select someone else.
I went digging through the list of other presidents that decided not to do a second term in the past, and the latest an incumbent president ever announced that they weren’t doing another term was towards the end of March in the election year, which permitted time for the primaries.
That also allowed for a lot more time for the new candidate to start putting together a campaign. It’s still on a time crunch relative to the normal situation, but they had seven months before the general election to sell themselves to the American public. We’re down to three-and-a-half months and we don’t even know if this is gonna happen.
EDIT: There is one perk of it being so late, which is that Trump has already selected his running mate. That means that unless Trump’s willing to dump Vance, it’s possible to build a ticket specifically optimized to beat Trump/Vance – Democratic strategists know what they’re facing in building their ticket, whereas Republican strategists did not.
