It will never not depress me that Chris Rufo’s whole shtick is just tweeting out his evil plans and nobody stops him. He just keeps getting away with it

"Getting away with it" is the driving force behind the entire MAGA movement! Republicans keep allowing it, clueless citizens dont care, and Democrats ring their hands and keep trying to negotiate with them.. 🙄😬😖
I think it indicates how most politicians still see social media simply as a place to post content and not as a window into what real people (including opponents) are saying, doing, thinking, etc. Nothing here is real, so there's no reason to respond to it, is the approach.
it would be interesting if someone did an analysis of which politicians actually read and interact with content on social media, as opposed to just posting press releases
all the big anti trans / DEI guys do this. they tweet "we are succesfully polarizing people against trans people in sports to build consent to dehumanize them eventually" and then people write opeds like "what does this guy really want??"
That’s what we’re all doing. Good plans, evil plans. Masks off! It sucks because it’s chaos but it does mean we have permission to mount up and crush the babbling MAGA horde.
And to top it off, the average person thinks you’re completely nuts if you talk about his influence on some of the most effective wedge issues of recent times. It defies explanation

What's worse is that there's absolutely nothing new or different in his strategy and yet... :(
