Truth Sandwiches: Zombies and Voudons and Trolls, Oh My! [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-07-31

We’re having a roundup today of recent Truth Sandwiches on Zombies Lies that Will Not Die (including Trumpish Cult lies), Voodoo Economics (with Starve the Beast), and trollishly trying to own the Libs, but ending up with the Wrong-Wingers pwning themselves.

The Zombies

Including SCOTUS.

x We must restore our democracy and undo the damage of Citizens United.



It's time to put the power back in the hands of the people, not wealthy corporate interests.#DemocracyIsNotForSale #Voterizer #TruthBrigade https://t.co/octO950bjs — Tom Demcast 🌊 🇺🇦 #Voterizer #FBR #Resist (@TomDemcast) July 25, 2023

x We all want to be treated fairly. The current Supreme Court supports money and white power. Accessible education for all supports equality. #TruthBrigade Plan B: Biden administration will forgive $39 billion in student loan debt https://t.co/KoujjFsAxO — Sharon V Elwell (@shrn_elwell) July 15, 2023

x Guns should not be the leading cause of death for children.



Far too many people in the pay of the gun lobby make far too many excuses for this.



Throw enough of them out of Congress, & we won't have to take it any more.#Indivisible #TruthBrigade: Stand Strong Against Gun Lies https://t.co/njoLGcbxov — Mokurai Delusion Fighter 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 (@Mokurai) July 16, 2023

x Taxes are too complicated and it's way too easy for the wealthy to not pay their fair share.



So why are pundits and politicians lying about the new laws that actually fix the #IRS? #TruthBrigade #Voterizer

x Because those who understand the threat & the opportunity don't push back enough on the Oil & Gaslighting, & don't know what is really being done.

x No, that's not a cost, but an investment with an outstanding return.



Cut the tera$ in subsidies, tax carbon, & put the savings & new revenue into saving Real Money(TM), Real Lives, & the Real Planet.#Indivisible #TruthBrigade: Save Our Planet: Deplatform Climate Disinformation https://t.co/p6w17KiMMx pic.twitter.com/esioq5HBBJ — Mokurai Delusion Fighter 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 (@Mokurai) July 24, 2023

x Now you're talking about Real Money (TM) ! Fossil Fools don't care about evidence, but Cash is King.



Cut off all "investment" funding for these guaranteed money losers.#Indivisible #TruthBrigade: Save Our Planet: Deplatform Climate Disinformation https://t.co/YCuHAf08Z4 pic.twitter.com/GnkIVKJwo9 — Mokurai Delusion Fighter 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 (@Mokurai) July 23, 2023

x So why would anyone lie about what really keeps our kids safe? If you want to protect our children, instead of banning books, ban assault weapons. Ask “who profits?” Check sources to stop the spread of profiteering gun lies. #TruthBrigade https://t.co/QEemDK5BIG — Sharon V Elwell (@shrn_elwell) July 22, 2023

x While fossil fuel companies & land developers deny their part in climate change, we must take steps to protect our communities. #TruthBrigade Read this: Climate scientists say extreme rain behind deadly Bucks County flood is becoming more frequent https://t.co/pEpYg3dlsn — Sharon V Elwell (@shrn_elwell) July 20, 2023

The Cult

x 1/3 of the SCOTUS was nominated by a narcissistic psychopath: #Trump.



Now they abandon president, ethics, basic legal principals such as "standing" so they can legislate Christofascism.



We must reform the SC and make it more democratic. #DemVoice1 #TruthBrigade pic.twitter.com/kjgKoHRBez — roger ledbetter (@rogerledbette11) July 8, 2023

x Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine threatens all Democracies.



Yet many Republicans support Putin? Remember when Trump tried to extort Ukraine?



We stand with Ukraine & Biden in support of Democracy. #TruthBrigade #LongLiveUkraine #Voterizer https://t.co/vwgFsHUVjd — Tom Registers Democrats #Voterizer #FBR #Resist (@RegDemsNow) July 2, 2023

x CALL OUT MAGA EXTREMISTS for their attacks on people & our rights (think: abortion), attacks on schools (book banning, censoring our history, etc.) & attacks on our democracy (Big Lie, January 6th & election subversion).



Join the #TruthBrigade. #FWC https://t.co/OUnCxwKqIK — Freedom Writers Collaborative (@FreedomWritersC) July 21, 2023

x People age mentally at different rates.



MAGA loves to mention Biden's age, but fails to mention Trump is only 2 yrs younger or that DJT's father had Alzheimer's.#Biden's strong economy proves the fitness of his leadership. #DemVoice1 #TruthBrigade https://t.co/h5oCqW0OGI — roger ledbetter (@rogerledbette11) July 10, 2023

The “Beast”

x Our #taxdollars should support our people and our planet. So check out motives behind claims we "can't afford'' crucial gov programs like Social Security and Medicare. Next time you hear “we can’t afford to help,” seek the facts. #truthbrigade https://t.co/lRmqwFHL9j pic.twitter.com/exzUfzPs1y — ITAA Indivisible Tucson (@ItaaTucson) July 13, 2023

x When some federal & state elected officials say we can't afford to raise the minimum wage, I seriously question that. I say we can't afford not to. #TruthBrigade Read this: Raising minimum wage benefits health of poor mothers and their babies, study finds https://t.co/CU0cFO0qRK — Sharon V Elwell (@shrn_elwell) July 21, 2023

x We all want people who work outdoors to be safe.

Climate change and wildfires present challenges to safety that governments and employers need to address. #TruthBrigade Read this: Workers lack protections when wildfire smoke makes the air dangerous https://t.co/PjYw2Dbqm9 — Sharon V Elwell (@shrn_elwell) July 21, 2023

x Supports for health and well-being are important. But formerly red-lined areas of Philly don't have those supports. Read this: Some Philly neighborhoods can be up to 12 degrees hotter due to the built environment, new study shows #TruthBrigade https://t.co/jZkvwn9zQJ — Sharon V Elwell (@shrn_elwell) July 28, 2023

The Trolls

President Biden occasionally makes an error. The Former Guy lies, cheats, and steals as a way of life, and so does everybody in his orbit. Many of the liars and cheaters have had more than enough of Trump, and have disassociated themselves from him. Some want to stick with him, but have been forced to testify to various grand juries.

Watch these spaces.

x https://t.co/ngKwbrxiXG

25 minutes watching @FoxNews & no mention of trumps many impending indictments & legal woes. If Hunter didn’t pay taxes, sure he should face music but that’s small potatoes compared to trump. Hold him accountable #TruthBrigade — Tee2Stew (@Tee2Stew) July 27, 2023

x To those who say cut supports for vulnerable groups we say: check the facts! #TruthBrigade https://t.co/jNe4jeKTNb — Sharon V Elwell (@shrn_elwell) July 15, 2023

x Child trafficking is a horrific crime.



We can't let efforts to help victims be disrupted by false conspiracy theories. #SoundOfFreedom #SoundofFreedomMovie #SoundsOfFreedom #TruthBrigade https://t.co/XSFLZRO3FF — #ERANow 🕊 ⚛🧷 she/her (@GoddessOfPeace8) July 12, 2023

At the heart of the QAnon conspiracy is the fantasy that Democrats are pedophile cannibals, operating from the basement of a pizza parlor that has no basement. In the real world, Wrong-Wing politicians, pastors, priests, and police are arrested for rape and kiddie porn every day. Children finally get to say #MeToo regularly.

x #MTG called Prosecutor Smith a "little bitch".



As a Christian Nationalist "little bitch" is a favorite phrase of MTG's to show the love of Jesus that she has in her heart.



Personality disorders are rampant in the #GOP. #DemVoice1 #TruthBrigade pic.twitter.com/1g1m8k9eG4 — roger ledbetter (@rogerledbette11) July 20, 2023

x When I see politicians pushing for laws to make it harder to #vote, I have to wonder what they’re afraid of. #TruthBrigade pic.twitter.com/j1CUGQsXYf — #ERANow 🕊 ⚛🧷 she/her (@GoddessOfPeace8) July 10, 2023

x Voting is good for all, or it is good for none.



Politicians choosing voters give Red states the worst records on all economic & social measures.



Vote, no matter how hard they try to make it.



We don't have to take it any more.#Indivisible #TruthBrigade: Let the People Vote! https://t.co/m0eehrZVUQ pic.twitter.com/oWiF0sOADd — Mokurai Delusion Fighter 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 (@Mokurai) July 23, 2023

x "Law and Order" was only ever a Dog Whistle for racism and hippy punching.



The beatings will continue until morale improves.#Indivisible #TruthBrigade: Down with the Dog Whistles—Say what you mean, or don't say it at all" https://t.co/xC7czesQ6N — Mokurai Delusion Fighter 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 (@Mokurai) July 15, 2023
