Maybe we've baked the "morality" of white supremacy so deeply into our conception of what the President exists to do that "murdering tens of thousands of Brown people" doesn't even register to our brains as something a President should feel bad about, let alone be prosecuted for?

Democrats: you have to support us because we love democracy and the other guys are literal fascists Also Democrats: hey how come you hold us to a higher standard than literal fascists? I can stop treating Dems as if I expect even a modicum of humanity out of them, but I doubt they'll like it.

4/4 And then of course we have the Democrats, who have been confronted with this dumbness for a decade now and still haven't figured out anything to do about it except cede the field to it while raising more money for their campaigns. What a sad, fallen system.

3/4 And I also reiterate my contempt for mainstream journalism that continues to treat this drool as some kind of serious or even coherent political philosophy. Julian Sanchez was right about this years ago: the only thing anyone has to learn from these people is which direction to spit in.

2/4 I've called Trumpism the politics of malicious boredom, and I'm gonna keep calling it that because it's literally just nonstop illogical drivel about the "open border," transgender people existing, a violent crime wave that doesn't exist, and millennials/zoomers hurting their feelings.

1/4 After spending some time back in Oklahoma, I'd just like to reiterate my insistence that the entirety of conservative politics in this country is getting foaming-at-the-mouth mad about a bunch of stuff that 1. has no appreciable impact on their lives, and/or 2. they've just made up.

"We give Israel bombs to drop on children, but we freak out at politicians writing messages on them because it's 'obscene.'" - Col. Kurtz, probably Just another arrow in my "Democrats will tolerate literally any moral depravity as long as nobody says anything mean" quiver.

If I didn't know a single thing about the terminal problems in the libertarian movement in this country, the amount of effort required to convince libertarians that some OBVIOUSLY creepy/bigoted dude is creepy/bigoted would be enough to tell me everything.

Hundreds of thinkpieces clutching their pearls at how "violently" Travis Kelce yelled at Andy Reid and what it says about our culture, written by people who are happily going to vote for genocide in November.

Regular reminder that when right wingers say "free speech," what they mean is the abolition of freedom of association.

Every single time I hear that some journalist made a fool of the State Department, it is always the AP's Matt Lee. He is both a credit to and an indictment of his entire profession.

Anyone know why Joe Biden stopped using "9/11s" as a unit of measurement for civilian deaths the instant the civilians were indigenous to Palestine?

Republicans: immigrants are less than human and US policy should treat them that way. Democrats: the first part of that is really offensive.

I hate the government, except for cops, military, and immigrant catchers. You know, all the bits that oppress and kill people. But don't get me started on teachers and mailmen.
