A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
We […] hold the just balance and set ourselves as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other. I understand perfectly that such an attitude of moderation is apt to be misunderstood when passions are greatly excited and when victory is apt to rest with the extremists on one side or the other; yet I think it is in the long run the only wise attitude.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Letter (1899, Spring) to Senator Thomas Platt (R-NY)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/4…

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Man cannot live without hope. If it is not engendered by his own convictions and desires, it can easily be fired from without, and by the most meretricious and empty of promises.

"There’s nothing in how Charlie Kirk “debated” that aimed to get at nuances or understanding. They were entirely designed to seek to humiliate his opponent. They’re full of red herrings, lies, and attempts to deflect from any actual logic, as the video link above showed.
The point is not about getting to any level of understanding. It’s to try to quip and dunk in the manner most likely to go viral when shared on social media in 20-second snippets.
The format actively discourages the kind of thoughtful, nuanced discussion that might actually change minds—the kind actually designed for persuasion. Instead, it rewards the most inflammatory takes, the most emotionally manipulative tactics, and the most viral-ready soundbites. Anyone going into these situations with good faith gets steamrolled by participants who understand they’re playing a different game entirely.
When trolls demand debates, they’re not interested in having their minds changed or genuinely testing their ideas. They want one of two outcomes: either you decline and they get to claim victory by default, or you accept and they get to use your credibility to legitimize their nonsense while farming viral moments.
None of this means we should avoid authentically engaging with different viewpoints or challenging ideas. But there’s a crucial difference between good-faith intellectual engagement and feeding trolls who are just looking for their next viral moment."

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
You may seek comfort at the feet of false leaders, who like medicine doctors beat drums to ward off evil spirits. You may listen to false leaders who tell you that there is an easy way — that all you have to do is to elect them and thereafter relax in a tax-free paradise, the political equivalent of sending 10¢ to cover the cost of postage. You may, fearing to face the facts squarely, be distracted by phony issues that have no bearing upon the life-or-death controversy of our time. But deluded you run the risk of being beguiled to destruction, for there is no easy way.
Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman

A campaign addressed not to men’s minds and to their best instincts, but to their passions, emotions and prejudices, is unworthy at best — now, with the fate of the nation at stake, it is unbearable.

A quotation from Alexander Hamilton
The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion. Tired at length of anarchy, or want of government, they may take shelter in the arms of monarchy for repose and security.

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: I’m writing a fund-raising letter. The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy. Then you explain how they’re systematically working to destroy everything you hold dear. It’s a War of Values! Rational discussion is hopeless! Compromise is unthinkable! Our only hope is well-funded antagonism, so we need your money to keep up the fight!
HOBBES: How cynically unconstructive.
CALVIN: Enmity sells.Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist

How #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump turns a #profit on #politicalviolence
Trump is a #hatemerchant. As part of their #opportunistic and #exploitative nature, Trump, his #propagandists and other #agents are #trafficking in #violence and #chaos. This is central to Trump’s #fascism, #demagoguery, #politicalopportunism, and #feral #politics.

“While he is not here to experience the current moment, we who worked for [#Reagan] in the White House, in the admin, in campaigns & on his personal staff, know he would join us in supporting the #HarrisWalz ticket," the group writes. "The #TimeForChoosing we face today is a choice between #integrity & #demagoguery, & the choice must be Harris-Walz. Our votes in this #election are less about supporting the Democratic Party & more about our resounding support for #democracy."

Ronald #Reagan's fmr staff back #HarrisWalz ticket: "Today is a choice between #integrity & #demagoguery."
17 fmr staff members of the late #Republican President Ronald Reagan are endorsing the Democratic nominee, VP #KamalaHarris.
In a joint statement, the staff members wrote that Reagan, if alive, would have supported #Harris.
"President Ronald Reagan famously spoke about a ‘#TimeForChoosing.'“

Lyndon Johnson described how the #GOP manipulates small minded bigots for power. #Racism, #misogyny, #transphobia, #homophobia, etc.: it's a simple game plan, and it unfortunately works in a country full of hateful pin heads

This description of #AdolphHitler in 1932 is eerily reminiscent of Trumpian #demagoguery.
It's alarming how similar this #rhetoric is to some of the leading #GOP #candidates running for the #RepublicanParty #nomination for #president in the 2024 election.

In America it seems LGBT+ people have been a major and growing target of political opportunity for right-wing (hate) organizing in recent years, like the story of how Chaya Raichik just tried attacking different minority groups looking for what would bolster her following on social media, and then LibsOfTikTok really took off and became influential in GOP politics and elections.
