#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianArwaMahdawi "it seems doors are the newest enemy of the Republican party. In the wake of the horrific elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas - where 19 children and two teachers were killed by a teenager with military-grade weapons - some Republicans are choosing to channel their energy towards the important question of door control.
'You want to talk about how we could have prevented the horror that played out across the street?' the Texas senator Ted Cruz said on Wednesday, while standing outside Robb elementary school. 'Having one door that goes in and out of the school, having armed police officers at that one door.'
An ordinary person would have paused for a second after saying something so patently ridiculous and then, hit by the realization that they had just blamed the massacre of school children on the problem of 'too many doors and not enough guns'" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/28/republican-party-texas-school-shooting-doors

Addendum: in context with the US Constitution, 2nd Amendment, #CharacterisationVigilanteAndOrMilitia seems to have (perhaps, conveniently for some) undergone a #TheoryLinguisticsLexicalChange; from being a Congress-prescribed military outfit to being (mis)interpreted as a autonomous, vigilante group.
#MagazineUSTheAtlanticPhillipsOBrien "The persistence of the Putin-Cruz-Carlson vision of war is surprising, because we have decades, even centuries, of evidence to the contrary. Since the Industrial Revolution, and in many ways before, the ability to run a complex system has been the cornerstone of strategic success. Though much military popular literature likes to stress the human drama of combat--the bravery and sacrifice, the cowardice and atrocity--it is not nearly as important in victory or defeat as many people assume. In state-to-state wars--a category that includes the current Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as broader conflicts such as the two world wars--the side that can most efficiently deploy more effective equipment operated by better-trained personnel has typically emerged victorious." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/russia-ukraine-woke-military-tucker-carlson/671569/ #TheoryCodedMasculinityOverHyper #MetaphorVersusSimpleComplexAnswers #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #MetaphorVersusWestEastRussia / #OrgRUAFM
Supplementary: "hypermasculinity, sociological term denoting exaggerated forms of masculinity, virility, and physicality. Scholars have suggested that there are three distinct characteristics associated with the hypermasculine personality:
(1) the view of violence as manly,
(2) the perception of danger as exciting and sensational, and
(3) callous behavior toward women and a regard toward emotional displays as feminine.
Hypermasculine archetypes abound in the mass media, especially action films. The films of Clint Eastwood, for example, usually feature a strong, silent hero who exhibits no emotion as he dispatches his enemies. A female lead character with exaggerated 'feminine' qualities is often added to accentuate the masculine traits of the hero." https://www.britannica.com/topic/hypermasculinity #IndivActorClintEastwood #MetaphorHero #TheoryCodedFemininityOver #TheoryCodedMasculinityOverStoic
#2017_TheEndOfPolicing "is about more than race, and more than just the police. Ultimately this book seeks to make a broader argument against social and economic injustice, and against criminalisation and racism, which Vitale locates in the politics of neoliberalism and inequalities of wealth and power. This reach makes this both a book about policing and something extra. It places it in the tradition of radical criminology, which is quite distinct from most criminological work on the police. While the latter has seen much on-going debate about the future(s) of policing and the impact and significance of various reforms over recent and many years, this book appears to cut through such reformist thinking. In this regard, it stands in welcome contrast to normative theorising about or technocratic evaluations of the police" https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2018/07/30/book-review-the-end-of-policing-by-alex-s-vitale/ #IndivScholarAlexVitale (presumably the inclusion of this book is a cynical reference to #SloganDefundThePolice ?) #2020_AntiracistBaby #EDUUSBostonUniversityIbramXKendi #IndivAuthorJasonReynolds

Addendum: this shows a screen-shot from the following article, which selectively shows the beginning of the article without proving any explanation of how this might come to pass. This is a salient, subsequent point that perhaps provides a more accurate indication of the article's general tenor: #MagazineNewsweekJocelynGrzeszczak "Byrd acknowledged in his book that his Klan membership has 'emerged throughout my life to haunt and embarrass me and has taught me in a very graphic way what one major mistake can do to one's life, career, and reputation.' ...
James Tolbert, president of the West Virginia Chapter of the NAACP in 2005, told the Post that Byrd overcame his past by slowly embracing more progressive social views and owning up to his mistakes.
'I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times...and I don't mind apologizing over and over again,' Byrd said in 2005. 'I can't erase what happened.'"https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-giving-eulogy-kkk-recruiter-robert-byrd-resurfaces-after-trump-doesnt-condemn-white-1535776 #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyJoeBiden #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyRobertByrd #OrgUSNtlAssocForTheAdvancementOfColoredPeopleNAACPJamesTolbert

Supplementary: #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostCraigTimberg "Today's digital soapboxes are little like the old-fashioned kind. Researchers have documented the power of automation technology to magnify some points of view while drowning out others.
Much of that research has focused on 'bots,' accounts programmed to follow instructions, such as automatically replying to tweets from other accounts. But Sobieski exemplifies the growing popularity of a variation, called 'cyborgs,' that mix human creativity and initiative with a computer's relentless speed, allowing their views to gain audience while sidestepping the traditional gatekeepers of news and commentary.
Sobieski's two accounts, for example, tweet more than 1,000 times a day using 'schedulers' that work through stacks of his own pre-written posts in repetitive loops. With retweets and other forms of sharing, these posts reach the feeds of millions of other accounts, including those of such conservative luminaries as Fox News's Sean Hannity, GOP strategist Karl Rove and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), according to researcher Jonathan Albright.
'It's like a giant megaphone,' said Albright, an assistant professor of media analytics at Elon University, in North Carolina, whose research singled out Sobieski's accounts as having unusual reach.
When Albright studied the most prolific Twitter accounts during the final two weeks of the election, he found that all of the top 20 appeared to support the eventual winner, Donald Trump. Among accounts using major pro-Trump hashtags such as 'MAGA,' for 'Make America Great Again,' two of the top three belonged to Sobieski." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/as-a-conservative-twitter-user-sleeps-his-account-is-hard-at-work/2017/02/05/18d5a532-df31-11e6-918c-99ede3c8cafa_story.html #PlatformSMTwitterTWTRBotClickFarm #PlatformSMTwitterTWTRCyborg #NMUSFOXFNCSeanHannity #IndivPoliticalStrategistKarlRove #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #EDUUSColumbiaUniversityJonathanAlbright i.e. https://towcenter.columbia.edu/content/jonathan-albright

#WebsiteSnopes "Attesting to the growing influence of the KKK in American politics at the time, a platform plank favored by Smith supporters that would have condemned the Klan by name went down to defeat after a raucous debate that degenerated into fisticuffs. On the 103rd ballot, the delegates finally nominated a dark-horse candidate named John W. Davis, who, in contrast to his GOP counterpart, Calvin Coolidge, would take a strong stand against the KKK during the presidential campaign. Coolidge won the election by a landslide.
Despite the fact that the Klan had sunk its tendrils just as deeply into Republican Party politics (an anti-KKK platform plank similar to the one rejected by Democrats met the same fate at that year's Republican convention), the extent of the group's supposed control over the 1924 Democratic convention has come to be exaggerated to legendary proportions. That is in large part thanks to the efforts of social media propagandists bent on tarring Democrats in particular with the legacy of the Klan's religious bigotry, xenophobia, and racism." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/klanbake-1924-democratic-convention/
