I decided to go to the birdsite where my account lays almost dormant. I like to check once in a while to ensure it has not been highjacked.
Still intact.
Found this post I did, 11 yrs ago
"Fred Koch saw what Stalinism did for Russia, and his kids are doing Fred's work today in the USA. #Birchers #Baggers #Birthers #GOP"
Guess I had something to say then, too.

“In 1838, concerned that mob violence imperiled the nation’s fledgling democratic institutions, Lincoln predicted that the gravest “danger” to democracy was never going to originate overseas but “must spring up amongst us.… If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.”

“[The John Birch Society], then, bestowed to subsequent generations a fraught legacy—a politics of the street, where armed militias, QAnon adherents, white supremacists, and their leaders lived in the spirit of what Abraham Lincoln once warned against. ”

Presidential election 1972: “When [John Birch Society candidate John] Schmitz lost, a telling message surfaced among his allies, a note of defiance rooted in their contempt for democracy: if voters refused to return the nation to its rightful owners, then Birchers and their allies would take it back by force… #Birchers #dallek #bookstodon #extremism #rightwing #history

“One American Party official, an insurance salesman from Arizona, described the party under Schmitz as “a distillation of the John Birch Society, the Christian Crusade and the Minutemen. We’re revolutionaries. We’re getting together to try to work through the system. But I’ll say this. We’ll have constitutional government in this country and if we don’t get it through the ballot box, we’ll get it in the streets.” ..

“Constitutionalists were entitled to rule, and either they were going to work within the system to achieve their vision of “constitutional government,” or, if the ballot failed them, they were going to take up arms. By 1974, some members identified violence as the only solution to the ills plaguing the United States.

@joescarborough @morningjoe kinda romanticizes the not so distant past & America’s dalliance with conspiracy & extremism. I point you and your producers to historian Matthew Dallek’s book on the John Birch Society, “Birchers”
“The Birchers were breeding a sprawling movement, opening a Pandora’s box to a more militant, disruptive far right….

“If liberals were to build the world they wanted—a world where pluralism trumped hate, science trounced unreason, and democracy conquered fascism—they had to fight harder.”

“The center had held firm. Yet they were hardly content to drop their vigilance. Birchers had gained power within the Republican Party. They had come within striking distance of the Oval Office. Even if the far right was ultimately doomed, Birchers still posed a grave threat. They had eroded the capacity of the nation’s democracy to tolerate dissent and find common solutions based on a set of widely accepted facts. ..

“The fact is clear, you can’t talk with a Bircher,” [..] The typical Bircher “is so aggressive in defense of the card he carries that he seems to lose sight of country and human dignity. So the best way to beat him is at the polls. Every time he raises his paranoid head, we will be there after him. Sometimes we will win, sometimes we will lose. But, he will know that we are watching.” #birchers #dallek #bookstodon #rightwing #extremism #Republicans #history #pastisprologue

@knowattitude Dallek addresses your sentiment: “the Kennedy White House’s strategy of tying the far right around the neck of the GOP turned out to be extremely effective. The Birch Society became an exquisite foil. Its visibility in electoral politics made it easy to stick the extremist label on the Republican presidential nominee, who made missteps and couldn’t evade his own fiery record and past statements.”
