Trump publicly calls a whole party “demonic” repeatedly.. At the same time, he can't tell you what denomination he is or what church he claims to belong to. He singles out and calls individuals like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.  “animals,”. He does this for  nearly a decade and it isn’t subtle it’s hateful and  a raw call to violence , that someone heard and heeded an explicit demonstrable. dehumanization. That kind of rhetoric normalizes violence and hatred, because if someone is an animal or demonic, the mental brakes against harming them weaken to those who already worked into a frenzy because they are perpetually mentally weak. .People start to see these  attacks as justified or even heroic. Meanwhile, the same media and political actors will scream when the opposite happens, pretending moral outrage is symmetrical, when in reality the scale and intent are completely different. The attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband was real, violent, and celebrated by some, and that’s not equivalent to a comedian or commentator making a critical joke it’s literal harm and encouragement of harm. This is the core problem: labeling, mocking, dehumanizing, and encouraging violence while pretending moral equivalence exists. The language matters because it frames perception, justifies action, and warps accountability. The McCarthyism-style labeling—is exactly how authoritarian systems and propaganda work. The Republicans, especially Fox News, are experts in fear mongering. That's what the core of  every episode of Fox News is about. Words like “dissent” or “anarchist” are thrown around to erase the legitimacy of lawful, peaceful action. Meanwhile, the real threats armed, aggressive, coercive actions get normalized or framed as “protest” by the same people wielding the labels.   Specifically referring to events before the election in the state of Arizona where , heavily armed. Trump supporters went to federal and state buildings brandishing automatic weapons openly, with bullets literally strapped to their chest, threatening. And coercing voters and local politicians. Brandishing weapons at government buildings with intent to intimidate or coerce? That’s a criminal act. like January 6th fomentation. That crosses the line from protest into sponsored demanded  terrorism, intimidation, and armed insurrection. There is no moral or legal equivalence between someone exercising their rights of free speech and peaceable assembly. and someone waving automatic weapons at a courthouse to influence votes. That’s why precision in language matters so **** much. Don't let ChatGPT and Google and these other right wing GOP mouthpieces convince you that using language like calling peaceful protesters dissenters or even going so far as labeling them radicals and or anarchists is okay or normal. Speak up and speak out. If you don't, you're condoning it.  Boycott Disney , Paramount, Fox, Sinclair media, Truth social, X, etc.  (  There are cheap alternatives.) They use fascism as sneaky  weaponized language. It’s designed to manipulate perception, to make people who are doing something completely legitimate and peaceful appear dangerous or radical. It primes susceptible  viewers and readers to distrust, fear or even hate promotes violence against your neighbors and non whites before any facts are even  presented or challenged. Free speech challenges lies and propaganda , that's why they cancelled Kimmel. It’s not just a connotation issue it’s psychological warfare. One word like that can turn a citizen exercising rights into a “threat” in the public imagination. That’s why it matters so much: the words we use are loaded tools, and misusing them can escalate conflict without a single action being taken. People are being crushed right now financially , literally. The tariffs are starving people and leaving them homeless. The levels of suicide have never been higher. The levels of petty theft just to survive. People are scared and desperate. The levels of violence will only increase. There is a realistic. Separation and division between facts and reality and what is actually being reported in the media. Don't misunderstand or conflate what I'm doing with fear mongering. It is clearly and obviously different, and if you can't see those facts, there's this place called The Library that has real books that you can check out and read for free. A healthy civil society depends on citizens being able to call out the strategic misuse of toxic language when it functions as psychological warfare intended to manipulate public opinion and incite harm against its citizens not only its political opponents.

first (part one)
"I hate you but thank you for letting go!" Everyone heard the words you said They all believed, chattering and confused But no one is better than him above He knows everything While you knows what it means The person hearing it under numerous individuals standing in the crowd Wishing he could dug a whole to hide Hoping that he didn't did it on the first place and regret Seeing you as beautifuly strong Standing in the stage with chins up and resolute eyes Lips curved into a mesmerizing arc

Knows and Means
I'm waiting for the sun to rise; going to cut these worldly ties. Remembering summer reveries, The autumn chill, the falling leaves. Look at how we both have grown; change for all the time we've blown. Remembering the winters snow, the stars above, the ground below. Lets atone for throwing stones; we can mend the broken bones. Remembering that spring revives; brings new light to cloudy skies.

A year to remember, a night to forget
A place newly freed from the grips of its mother Struggles with the rules that keep the mezzanine from Crashing down. 1) The official and ever-wanted right to speak one's mind In a way only they can do. Religion, politics, Every matter ever opinionated. 2) If a man entered your home and threatened Every loved one that lived there, would you want to be helpless? Defenseless? Or would you **** or maim to protect Your family? A gun, a knife, and the right to do so? 3) Many people would be honored to house a soldier. Simple as that, but what if they didnt? Money is tight, there is no room? And they are sick of giving up Their own beds and food for a soldier fighting for Something they do not agree with? Preventative measures are needed. 4) Nothing to hide, but constantly searched. Is privacy really that unimportant? No; it is important. 5) A crime, a trial; it should be obvious. The same crime twice? Impossible. Self incrimination? Non existent. 6) The right to know what you've been accused of, To have a quick trial with an attorney and witnesses at your defense. Imagine having no clue, and suddenly having a gun to your head? 7) A crime done by you or another, And a jury to help the decision, but not step in the Judge's place. Simple discussions of which laws applied and not No longer took place. Sed lex, dura lex. 8) The banishment of cruel and unusual punishment, Outrageous fees payed for bail, pain inflicted in strange ways. The morality of punishment made into law. 9) A common arrangement that an individuals rights, Not written in the constitution, are secure and valid. Yet, for some odd reason, it had to be added to prevent Violation of these rights. 10) Finally, the abilities of each individual state To decide and enforce for its own people. The individuality each separate place craves and Wants as a child wants his own decisions to be made.
