The article is mostly about Kari Lake being on her show, but wow.

“Kamala, she’s got citizenship issue,” Barr claimed, which is a baseless accusation, of course. “Did you see her where she tries to act like she’s human? They’re on the third clone with her. … She’s just [controlled by former President Barack] Obama, so he’s already on his third term destroying our country. And then so if he gets her in there, that’ll be his fourth term. He’s a little tyrant.”

As the conversation progressed, Lake suggested that Barr ought to run for president, which Barr asserted was unnecessary “because in 2012, I declared myself the de facto president of the American people for life.”

    Roseanne is just one of many examples of awful people getting called out for being awful, and then running to the hard right, where not only is their awful behavior ignored, it’s actually embraced.

    Elon Musk is the gold standard of this, and of course, Donald Trump practically invented it.

    Fascism is an ideology that rewards people for being the worst version of themselves.

    Roseanne might have corrected course after her racist tweet had the right wing not embraced her.

    This is why MAGA Republicans are a cancer. Their hatred spreads and consumes.
