I don't like putting it this way, but everyone needs to learn how to hate. It was great when we didn't have to, and could imagine it was all a civil debate. But that's donezo; survival of democracy requires treating its enemies with just raw contempt, rage, scorn, and yes, hatred.

This is not the time for curling up in a fetal position and searching for a way to convince the right that they are being too mean and forceful over a cup of tea. If people aren’t stunned & scared & fully pissed off then they aren’t paying attention. This is a stand up and fucking fight moment.

i actually think it's the opposite. even if we pull this one out, we're going to have to figure out how to deradicalize a huge portion of our populace. this will involve patience and compassion for absolute assholes. i definitely do not have it in me.

And like...it sucks. It can curdle your heart, and make you mean. But I don't know. There's not a lot of room left for grace.
