Indistinguishable from 1870s Redeemer rhetoric about "Negro misrule" and the like.
NEW: U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson's "reign of terror" in Mississippi "is over," Gov. Tate Reeves says, urging the ousting of the state's only Black member of Congress through redistricting before the end of 2027.
He made that pronouncement even as he canceled a special session on redistricting.

Mississippi Governor Vows Thompson’s ‘Reign of Terror Is Over,’ But Cancels Redistricting Plans
Mississippi won’t redraw any of its districts this month. The governor canceled the special legislative session to redistrict the state Supreme Court.

Misrule. Complete, utter misrule.
Corrupt is no longer a strong enough word to describe MAGA and Trump.
Malfeasance is now my choice word to describe how: illegal, dishonest, rotten, vile, fraudulent, corrupt, awful, and perverted they have become.

if any Democrats besides AOC want to weigh in about the misrule that's already been prevalent over this first week that'd be pretty cool

Misrule that will one day defy our ability to explain it.
Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded?

It’s shocking to me that amidst all of the misrule, corruption and horror that surrounds us, a sizable plurality of America is still more comfortable with full-bore fascism than a light dollop of Scandinavian-style socialism

Again, this is a broad coalition of people across the ideological spectrum whose top concern is making sure everyone rues and laments the “Woke Times” forever. It’s very much akin to the myths around “Negro misrule” in Reconstruction, which justified Jim Crow.
I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.

People WILL remember the Democrats who signed their name to a vote facilitating this misrule, which is what a yes on cloture is, plain and simple.

It's one thing to wheel out Matt Gaetz to scream "trans" loudly as a distraction from these disastrous years of war and misrule. That's an established trope. But to have Tuberville, in all his bespittled glory, inveighing against Furries as the new frontier in GOP electoral distraction. Well, damn.
