Elected Republicans are, by and large, constrained in what they can say because they still have to face the voters. This is why senators don't sound like representatives and why representatives in competitive districts don't sound like Lauren Boebert. As long voters could potentially notice their candidate is a raving lunatic intending them great harm, elected Republicans tend to keep their more extreme plans quiet.

This is not true for the media personalities of the right, however. The talking heads of the vast right-wing propaganda machine are a bellwether for where the GOP is planning to go. Right now, one of the things they’re starting to gleefully describe is the full-scale weaponization of the federal government.

This should freeze the blood in your veins.

Remember “Schedule F?” You really should

A quick refresher for you because “Schedule F” is a very innocuous name for the single most dangerous idea Republicans have had since “the Southern Strategy” and its natural end result: Donald Trump.
