#NBCNews reporting: #DNC prepares for protests during the #Democratic #Convention tomorrow.
One woman is asked, "Do you expect to be heard?" and she says, "Yes. This is where I think we will be heard."
And THAT is why they never protest at the #REPUBLICAN Convention: Because they know no one cares & no one is listening to them.

National *#conservatives* have a very specific view of “nation”—& the #Republican Party is embracing it.

Dear Mastodon,
Your #psychology term for the day is:
"#Narcissistic Collapse"
definition:
"The fear of being publicly humiliated can lead a #narcissist to stop functioning."
example:
"#Republicans worry #Trump is having a ‘public nervous breakdown’
‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and #Republican Adam Kinzinger said"
Republicans worry Trump is having a ‘public nervous breakdown’
‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger saidKelly Rissman (The Independent)
Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and other avatars of American conservatism wouldn’t recognize it under Trump.
Analysis by a political scientist: The Republican Party has abandoned conservative values to serve a single man.

In a recent interview w/ #FauxNews, #Minnesota #Republican Party Chair David Hann accused Walz of delaying guard activation because "he was fearful of alienating his progressive base, who were supporting the riots…. [Walz]…is by far the most partisan governor that I can remember having. He displayed a remarkable lack of leadership in dealing w/the riot …& the aftermath of which is still affecting the quality of life & the business climate in Minneapolis." 🙄
#TimWalz, a second-term governor & chair of the Democratic Governors Assn, does not hail from a traditional battleground state — #Minnesota has supported a Republican presidential candidate only once since 1960. But his credentials as a #veteran & #gun owner [👎🏻] who previously represented a #Republican-leaning, rural part of Minnesota in #Congress could help #Harris appeal to working-class #White voters who have turned away from Democrats & helped fuel #Trump’s political rise.
he’s also a fmr US #Army noncommissioned officer who can pull off a camo hat at a news conference. & he’s the #teacher given the “Most #Inspiring” superlative in the #Mankato yearbook, who can effectively deliver an attack on #Republican opponents.
“When he said #Republicans were ‘#weird’ it struck me like, this works from Walz,” says Jake Jagdfeld, who played linebacker under Walz in the ’90s. “In politics he’s good at calling out BS w/o getting nasty or too down in the dirt.
"In 2006, #Walz won the race to represent #Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District, flipping a #Republican seat in a #rural part of the state...
Walz would win reelection to his seat five more times before leaving the #House to run for #governor. In the 2018 gubernatorial race, Walz defeated his Republican opponent by more than 10 percentage points."

#JDVance’s initial reaction to the news began *normally* [for him], in an interview w/CNN’s Steve Contorno.
“Look, I think it’s great news, at least what little we know. We certainly want these Americans to come back home. It was ridiculous that they were in prison to begin with,” the #Republican VP nom said, before going in a completely different direction.
