The right has weird ideas about their ideological enemies: we're "groomers," we're secretly on a billionaire's payroll, we hijacked education to promulgate revisionist histories, we steal elections, and, of course, w're plotting to take over America and subjugate them. 1/

The weirdest thing about this is that it's the right that engages in revisionist race-history:

The beneficiary of that unprecedented sum is a newly-created political group controlled by #LeonardLeo, a right-wing activist with deep connections to Republican donors and politicians, as well as conservative forces within the Roman Catholic Church… he STACKED the SUPREME COURT
To say that Seid's donation will allow Leo to double down on that effort may be an understatement. (Can one "quadruple down"?) The Times noted, moreover, that the source of these funds is "difficult to trace through public records."
The more that resident fascist #LeonardLeo—the radical Catholic Oz behind the SCOTUS curtain—appears in the news, the less effective his byzantine operation becomes.
Yesterday he killed his Twitter account (h/t @GoddessOfOdness).
EVERYONE has to know who he is & what he does.

This is important because Barre Seid just gave Leo $1.6 billion, billion with a B, to ratfuck democracy.
(Seid is 90 years old. His parting gift to the country is to destroy it. May his name live forever in infamy and shame.)

What Leo is really good at is spreading that money around his network of non-profits & PACs & other orgs to maximize political spending & pay as little in taxes as possible.
You know, like they teach you in Church.

“The Federalist Society’s Executive VP, Leonard Leo, has been linked to a million-dollar contribution to the NRA’s lobbying arm, and to a $250 million network largely funded by anonymous donors to promote right-wing causes and judicial nominees,” the lawmakers wrote.

Hmmm...”if your son is working for a bank moving dark money around and you write a Supreme Court decision about dark money, is it still valid?”(EG)
