"FACTS DO NOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES" - #Lakoff
"Fraud" activates the conservative frame #Lakoff
The Romance of Mathematics In the course of our research, we ran up against a mythology that stood in the way of developing an adequate cognitive science of mathematics. It is a kind of "romance" of mathematics, a mythology that goes something like this. • Mathematics is abstract and disembodied-yet it is real. • Mathematics has an objective existence, providing structure to this universe and any possible universe, independent of and transcending the existence of human beings or any beings at all. • Human mathematics is just a part of abstract, transcendent mathematics. • Hence, mathematical proof allows us to discover transcendent truths of the universe. • Mathematics is part of the physical universe and provides rational structure to it. There are Fibonacci series in flowers, logarithmic spirals in snails, fractals in mountain ranges, parabolas in home runs, and π in the spherical shape of stars and planets and bubbles. • Mathematics even characterizes logic, and hence structures reason it-self-any form of reason by any possible being. • To learn mathematics is therefore to learn the language of nature, a mode of thought that would have to be shared by any highly intelligent beings anywhere in the universe. • Because mathematics is disembodied and reason is a form of mathematical logic, reason itself is disembodied. Hence, machines can, in principle, think.

On Wednesday a ‘rule of law’ resolution was introduced. It simply stated that the executive branch MUST abide by court rulings. Simple, right? It was BLOCKED by Senate Republicans. #lakoff
This is interesting, but designed to outrage & distract the Left, as is #Krasnov 's pivot back to immigration and crime.
The #Retrumplicans have been framing the debate and derailing the Dems this way for decades

tRump's attempt to erase his alias #Krasnov & master Putin from the headlines

It would be a shame if the whole world would keep talking about F47s 'own goal' w Zelenskyy, become hyperaware that the US has officially changed sides & support Ukraine 💙💛 & Europe

Wrt lack of media transparency, keep your eyes on the game, not the ball & reframe the narrative

#Retrumplicans have switched to Putin via the Orange Shitgibbon who is aka #Krasnov

Lakoff moral hierarchy
#Lakoff lists their warped, rigid,hierarchical world view. Note education isn't one of their tenets.
There is only one way to live, claim these freedom fighting Americans.
Zelensky must surrender to Russia after insulting our King, they say in the next breath.
Missing from Democrats: an articulated, moral vision.
The Right has a moral vision.
Primitive, authoritarian, but coherent.
In a time when Americans don't understand themselves, our country, or their place in it. Nothing makes sense to them, and we offer no way to help them. #Lakoff
Cesar used his very short time well. You can tell he was ready to keep rolling through his points. He quickly cut off one 'witness' who wanted to veer into 'mandate' nonsense. He got several to lie under oath about their knowledge on 5 different IG firings.

I wish the aging Democratic leadership had learned and practiced the framing issue from George #Lakoff. RWers are vomiting parrots, we can't even get on a positive message for a single day. Almost always on rhetorical defense.
Tyvm for blocking appointments today. Where are the other Dem Senators?

They are enforcing the RW hierarchy. There is a rigid system which benefits them and only them. #Lakoff laid it out. They're just more public with their judgemental, warped value systems. Every MAGA's become a Phyllis Schlafly or a Flush Limpballs. 40 years of RW propaganda seeping out their pores.
It's essential to #Resist uncritical use of #MAGALanguage that FOTUS uses to twist & control public discourse
E.g. By eshewing the Constitution & Institutions, Republicans have forfeited their claim as 'Conservatives'

Good example of how the US now now operates like a narcissistic pathology.
While it's important to call out gaslighting & hypocrisy, don't let them derail us. Pivot immediately back to the Left agenda.

Lakoff's moral hierarchy.
It's their rigidity of thought, coupled with embrace of male dominated hierarchy, all wrapped with dogmatic, fear and anger based 'Christianity'. There's a lot of walls to break through. #Lakoff listed their RW hierarchy. 90% of their nonsense is found on this list.
But if it's BS and we want them not to focus on it why mention it at all, kind of like focusing on it. I know we want to mention it because it's crazy and we think everyone should know how crazy they are but when we mention it it also serves as a distraction from what we want to focus on. #lakoff

For the Left across US/Can/UK/Australia grappling with voter responses to actual people friendly policies.
We have structural and

To those buying the nonsense idea that Retrumplicans are better at selling. Reality check: they back billionnaires who own the media.
Also, it's 100% easier to wrap lies into a sound bite than evidence based policy.
Don't give up on the side that serves you 💙
