I should not be shocked by Stephen Miller's words, but

I really am.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller posted an attack on his political opponents on social media: “There is an ideology that has steadily been growing in this country which hates everything that is good, righteous and beautiful and celebrates everything that is warped, twisted and depraved. It is an ideology at war with family and nature. It is envious, malicious, and soulless. It is an ideology that looks upon the perfect family with bitter rage while embracing the serial criminal with tender warmth. Its adherents organize constantly to tear down and destroy every mark of grace and beauty while lifting up everything monstrous and foul. It is an ideology that leads, always, inevitably and willfully, to violence—violence against those [who] uphold order, who uphold faith, who uphold family, who uphold all that is noble and virtuous in this world. It is an ideology whose one unifying thread is the insatiable thirst for destruction.”

Every single word of that is a projection of what he, Chump and the Radical Right army are doing. There is nothing even close to reality happening like that from the left.

What is THE PERFECT FAMILY? I guess he means only their absurdly backwards nuclear family.

Who really is embracing the serial criminal with tender warmth? Um, CHUMP often talks about the LATE, GREAT HANNIBAL LECTOR.

Whose ideology has an insatiable thirst for destruction, oh, maybe those who CHANGED THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR, maybe?

5. From a BBC article:

What did Kinder, Kϋche, Kirche mean in Nazi Germany?

In public, Hitler said women were “equal but different from men”, but he actually thought women were inferior.
Hitler believed women’s lives should revolve around the three 'Ks': Kinder, Küche, Kirche (Children, Kitchen, Church).
The Nazis expected women to stay at home, look after the family and produce children in order to secure the future of the Aryan race.

Sound familiar? Yet if anyone in the US points out that the Radical Right, including Kirk, uses the EXACT terminology, well they must be fired and silenced.

Not a single word of it has any connection to reality when it comes to Democrats or the "left" in general, however

He just described MAGA 'to a TEE' and they don't even know it.

10. Again, I blame Limbaugh for a lot of where we are today

He was the one who first discovered that, following the civil rights movement, demonizing liberals was a cash crop if you exploit people's fears, prejudices, and resentment — unsurprisingly, the same fuel as fascism. Then an army of clones and FOX "news" etc. made it an actual industry, and now we have tens of millions of voters who decide what to believe or disbelieve strictly on who says it.

Sometimes "demonized" is used as hyperbole, but in this case, it's quite literal: the message is, liberals are evil. Limbaugh and FOX weren't as overt and blunt as many in the clone army and Miller are today, but the message was there: Liberals aren't just wrong, they are evil; don't argue and don't share power with evil.

embracing the serial criminal with tender warmth, the tearing down of or destroying every mark of grace and beauty while lifting up everything monstrous and foul inevitably leading to violence, violence against those who uphold order, uphold faith, uphold family, uphold all that is noble and virtuous in the world with an ideology that is unifying instead of destructive,' does this mean that Miller has now come out to support opening the Epstein files?

Thanks for the thread Brenda

13. The really scary thing is that there are people (too many I think) who actually believe everything this man says.

...force them into a car, do malicious Liberal actions (The disgusting filthy things we all love to do), and destroy their faith and beauty.

Rats..perhaps tomorrow night.
