Chris Rufo always has bragged about his evil plans like he's got James Bond suspended over a tank of sharks.

His interview with Douthat is no exception.

Douthat interviewing Rufo, wow! I'd rather set myself on fire than read that, thanks.

Never fails to amaze what a slimy little dribble of wingnut welfare shit he is.

Anybody who speaks in such an abusive and degrading way about his fellow Americans because he disapproves of their values, and demands that everybody adhere to HIS values, should be shunned from society. What is wrong with Douthat, there is no reason to platform this domestic terrorist, good Lord.

It’s easy to be a strategist if you’re an utter sociopath that doesn’t care about any consequences to anyone except yourself

Feels like the center of scientific research is about to shift out of the USA, which is terribly sad. I'm not entirely sure how we hold it here if funding is going to get cut this drastically. Make institutes and sell our discoveries? Makes me sick to consider.

Rufo: “Dear journalists, I am a bad faith actor.”

Journalists: This man has unconventional ideas. Let’s give him a platform.

They are segregationists.

It goes beyond DEI, they are mismanaging departments with specific goals in mind. It is actually quite illegal what they are doing and we have to remember that they didn't get stopped the first time. The people have to take action if they want results

They're doing this with multiple issues... including lately the concerted anti-Dems narratives that seem to be the most urgent topic on cable "news" lately.

robertsilverman.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It's a very effective marketing strategy! While the mainstream press thinks, "well, someone who talks like a coked-up version of Skeletor can't be *serious* or mean literally what they say," the MAGA hordes nod in giddy approval

robertsilverman.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Moreover, when leftists and extremism researches point out, "hey, this twisted little freak wants to eradicate every progressive policy starting with the New Deal," and get mad online about it, that's even better. B/c MAGA's only consistent political goal is immiserating their perceived enemies.

kombiz.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It is one thing when he's outside and reporters refuse to take his bigotry seriously but it's another thing when he was embedded with transition for a month + before inauguration and given records from agencies amidst ongoing lawsuits.

What an evil piece of shit. @thedollop.bsky.social has an episode on Rufo and it scratches the surface on how actually fucked up this dude is.

slowandhorrible.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Like he got started on public schools being a fucking creep towards children. He had a growing bandwagon on twitter and would retweet people literally lamenting The Trans Agenda because *it stopped them from hitting on their own students*.

I just wish someone would ask him why there are ghettos. I’m sure the answer would somehow blame liberal ideology.

mlmucci.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Douthat goes way back with Rufo. Here, he is joining and "moderating" a 2021 panel with Rufo and Ramaswamy, opposed to “wokeness”.
I put "moderating" in quotes because the only "debate" among these three would be "Who hates critical race theory theory the most?"

That guy was the first byline that made me think of cancelling my subscription. Then I settled for not reading him. Them not reading other three or four frequent columnists. Then I postponed a decision. Then one day they casually mentioned Bannon did the "Musk gesture" and I finally cancelled.

If a paper owned by a Jewish family won't treat seriously when people begin normalizing the Nazi salute, who am I to take that paper seriously, indeed.

edwardrow.com•11 hours ago

that's because "exposing" the other side doesn't work anymore, hasn't for a long time, so he isn't giving ammunition so much declaring intentions - if anything - he gets a machine of people as deranged as him to work for and with him for the same (insane) goals by being out in the open

First, he’s a arrogant jackass. Second, his vision about starving/stripping certain entities of federal grants w/o acknowledging the devastating efforts is terrible.

kenaizawa.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Kind of surprising honesty.

majestic12.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Not really. He’s always been open about his douchebaggery because he thinks he’s untouchable and the media will eat up his bullshit hook, line and sinker.

So far, he hasn’t been wrong.

ostrasyn.bsky.social•16 minutes ago

Yes. He made that very clear regarding the "CRT" narrative.
