    You know, republicans should throw off The left by passing some social services laws, you know, healthcare, abortion services, housing. That’d be some real psy-ops shit to own the libs!!

      They haven’t achieved the cusp of fascist dictatorship with logical consistency. Conservatism makes sense when you suppress critical thought; starting now would run the risk of losing existing R’s.

      Their main strategy until the election will be the same as it has been for decades — reducing D and swing voter turnout by any means necessary.

    “This is what we’re fighting against in Tennessee. This is what we’re fighting against in America,” Tennessee Democratic Party Chair Hendrell Remus said in a statement responding to the Nashville march. “While our Republican State leaders sit quietly by, we refuse to let hate-filled racists terrorize our community.”

    Vote Democrat. It cannot be more obvious most Republican representatives are compromised by hate groups and foreign nationals.

    Of course. The only question they ask is “Does this make my side look bad?” If the answer is No, then this is Just, Good, and the Will of the People. If the answer is Yes, then it’s a False Flag, a Psy-Op, or the work of the Deep State.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through the streets of Nashville on Saturday, carrying confederate flags and a “Reclaim America” banner while wearing masks to cover their faces.

    The group participated in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally on the University of Virginia’s campus in Charlottesville, Va., and Rousseau was charged earlier this year for burning a tiki torch with the intent “to intimidate” at that event.

    That’s what this is all about,” Greg Rogers, a retired FBI agent who went undercover with militia groups, told the Deseret News of Patriot Front.

    This is what we’re fighting against in America,” Tennessee Democratic Party Chair Hendrell Remus said in a statement responding to the Nashville march.

    Before denying he had ever heard of the white nationalist hate group, he circulated a false report that President Biden experienced a medical emergency aboard Air Force One.

    The untrue rumor was initially posted by far-right influencers — first by Laura Loomer and later by Monica Crowley and Dinesh D’Souza.


    The original article contains 595 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      Your bot’s “summary” not only sucks, it’s outright misleading because the exerpts are concatenated together in a way that falsely claims Democratic Party Chair Hendrell Remus claimed to have never heard of the hate group and circulated a false report that Biden had a medical emergency.

      Writing a summary means summarizing – restating the article in your own words, more concisely – not merely concatenating exerpts. Do better or shut the fucking bot off!
