From 2013: Inside The Meltdown At America’s Most #Conservative, Most Christian Political Consulting Firm

#RexElsass built a Republican empire on his faith. But he found himself battling his closest allies over his immortal soul.

" 'It's a cult,' said one Republican operative who was once courted by Elsass and now sees himself as a competitor. 'You take young people who get enamored by driving around in a Bentley, or getting to fly around in a private plane, and stay in sick rooms, and see massive dollars spent on them, but not given to them — and there's a huge difference there — and you're the master in controlling that dynamic. You control the experience and then you get them hooked in, then you get them to do all sorts of things. They start to lose their soul.' "

"There are at least 40 #Republicans currently in Congress who have worked with the #StrategyGroup, which serves as a campaign and strategy clearing house for the uncompromisingly conservative wing of the congressional caucus that has been at the center of American politics since 2010.

"Though the Strategy Group's ranks have swelled over the past year — as the company expands beyond its advertising roots and into public relations, voter contact, and research — it continues to be defined by its larger-than-life founder. Elsass is a round, loud, cigar-smoking good 'ol boy with a private jet; a worldview rooted, he'll be quick to tell you, in his Christian faith; and a shameless killer instinct that has turned his company into one of the country's most in-demand political consulting firms. The firm had the rare distinction of working, serially, for two presidential candidates last year — Michele Bachmann then #NewtGingrich. Other clients include the great Right hopes of 2016: Senators Rand Paul and #TedCruz. One of the driving forces behind the conservative surge of 2010, when they had more than two dozen #TeaParty clients, the Strategy Group stands poised to ride a similar wave in the upcoming elections."

Not clear on the definition of Fascism?
Benito Mussolini 1932
https://ia601206.us.archive.org/20/items/mussolini-archive/The%20Doctrine%20of%20Fascism%20Benito%20Mussolini.pdf
Some choice quotes:

#TeaParty #MAGA
"Fascism was not the nursling of a doctrine previously drafted at a desk; it was born of the need of action, and was action; it was not a party but, in the first two years, an anti-party and a movement.”

#Democracy #Freedom #Autocracy
“[Fascism] is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights of the State”

#PersonalIdentity
"Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State..”

#WorkersRights #Corporate #Billionnaires
"Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon. But when brought within the orbit of the State, Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonized in the unity of the State.

#SelfExpression #Trans #LGBTQ
"if liberty is to he the attribute of living men and not of abstract dummies invented by individualistic liberalism…”

#totalitarianism
"Fascism, is totalitarian, and the Fascist State - a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values - interprets, develops, and potentates the whole life of a people”

#austerity
"life, as conceived of by the Fascist, is serious, austere, and religious; The Fascist disdains an “easy " life.”

#environment #climatechange #peace #war
"[Fascism] does not believe in the possibility of "happiness" on earth … it therefore rejects the theological notion that at some future time the human family will secure a final settlement of all its difficulties.”

@realTuckFrumper counterpoint: fuck Walsh.

#TurdReich #TEAParty #MAGAt #GOP #douchebag #USPol

I don't often strongly disagree with Lever journalists, but I have to take issue with presenting Occupy Wall St as a counterpart of the Tea Party;

https://play.prx.org/listen?ge=prx_9069_93a6dc63-3e91-4c9a-9e9b-0b7ee45674cc&uf=https%3A%2F%2Fpublicfeeds.net%2Ff%2F9069%2Ffeed-rss.xml

The two couldn't have been more different.

Even though the #MAGA cult is derived from the #TeaParty movement of imagined ‘patriots’, the #PoorlyEducated morons don’t seem to even know that the eponymous Boston Tea Party was started by actual patriots who were angry that *their* ‘Mad #King ‘ had foolishly levied #tariffs on tea imported to the British Colonies, thus TAXING them without representation in #government.

And speaking of no ‘representation’, has anyone seen our ‘checks and balances’ lately? #Resist

https://www.bedfordgazette.com/editorial/from-the-boston-tea-party-to-today-s-targeted-tariffs-what-happened/article_6141669e-2763-11ef-b177-d7aea3bf3cbc.html

I have to point out that the #TeaParty was a successful #astroturf operation by the #KochBrothers and fake #grassroots organizations that leveraged racism and some dissatisfaction with the #Republican Party into a juggernaut of primary challenges. @adamkinzinger.bsky.social rode in on that.

Last art for 2024 but not the least with a meeting with characters of other authors on Mastodon: Esther and Erie invite Veronica and Polly from @adaddinsane & Freya from @HeliaXyana

At the table, Esther is pouring tea to Veronica (left) and Freya (right) while Polly is cuddling a playful Erie on a carpet
