The real threat is not Fox News. The real threat is a right wing mythology, that is now reinventing WHY we fought the revolutionary war. AG Barr, in his most recent speeches, seeks to reinvent history, claiming we fought to end not the tyranny of King George, but of his "abusive" parliament, which is conveniently NOT listed in our declaration of independence, and is not mentioned by Jefferson or other founding fathers, in the same capacity, at all.
Lawyers Call for AG Barr's Impeachment After Federalist Society Speech | Law & Crime
Barr is the most partisan AG in this nation's history. He embraces a beyond federalist position, that the President and the executive have more authority than the constitution gives them; that the president is in essence a monarch, beholden to no one, and that our country requires a strong executive to function.
AG Barr and DJT are essentially the antithesis of conservatism and libertarianism; they act in a fashion that would reshape this country and everything it stands for.
Bill Barr’s theory of the unitary executive is wrong. So it’s not surprising that Barr’s criticisms of Mueller are incoherent when he tries to apply that theory to the Mueller Report.
This is what the long game looks like, folks. The right wing began pushing this with Reagan, and Bush - pushing for more and more and more executive authority, because damned democracy gets in the way of what the right wing wants.
This must be resisted at -all costs.-
