Donald Trump wanted to steal the 2020 election from Joe Biden. Instead of blaming factors beyond his control for the loss, he accused the Democrats of stealing the election.

For some Senators it is not enough to simply stop spreading COVID-19 misinformation, they have to bring down Dr. Anthony Fauci for spreading COVID-19 information.

Right-wing populists are done with finding ideas that resonate. Hard work is for little people. They have gotten used to accusing the other side of the crimes they commit.

If the underlings have mastered the art of deceit, the master has to be miles ahead, isn’t it? During an emotional UN address, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, asked for a Nuremberg-style tribunal to investigate Russian atrocities in Bucha.

But the master had already prepped his stooges to deploy the right-wing playbook. “Russian officials responded by claiming that Ukrainian “Nazis” will need to face a tribunal as part of the Kremlin’s “denazification” of Ukraine”.

The man who runs the global right, standing on a platform built by the left, keeps comparing Ukraine to the Nazis because he is the Nazi.

Ukraine is not run…
