Unbelievable and unforgivable.

Yes; now 1/3 of Americans fully embrace this idea while both sides media present it as equally as plausible as it being untrue. The Overton window shifts further to the right. It's a pattern I have watched for more than two decades. At our current pace, we'll be to the right of Hitler before long.

Why not both?

The primary difference between then and now will be this time the country that is being destroyed is the United States and the people dying are it's inhabitants.

To be fair, the majority of the people impacted by disasters in that city are probably at best 3/5th of a person to Mike Johnson, so you can understand why his concern level isn't so high.

I'd suspect it goes all the way to cooking people in ovens.

Without DEI, they would all be white because the people pushing to eliminate DEI are simply advocating for the restoration of slavery. Last time I checked you cannot play a farm animal at cornerback, and that is exactly how Republicans view non-white people.

Yeah, but if Israel just keeps up the pressure until every last human on earth is dead, Hamas will have been eradicated and then who could argue it was a bad idea?

Why should he have his slaves taken away - he is a responsible slave holder.

That cannot be as the 2016 election taught us that using private emails is the worst of all crimes.

a prosecution of literal espionage a "witch hunt", but find a fucking way because the world needs to hear reality as it is, not reality as they would believe it be after absorbing both sides propaganda for 30 years.

to believe that corruption is an issue affecting both parties equally, so frankly it would be hard for them to sell reality at this point. But they still should try because, ya know, it's their fucking job. Like yeah, I get it, calling a witch hunt a witch hunt is hard when the other side calls

aggressive prosecution for being late on taxes. The facts show this to be an actual and literal witch hunt, but we exist in a both siderism hellscape that cannot acknowledge obvious double standards. The press takes the easy route because years of their own both sides BS have conditioned the public

chance at Clinton "dirt", and then when they had the presidency, literally attempted a shakedown of a foreign government with a demand for Biden "dirt". And say nothing of the myriad congressional investigations, all of which ended in a gun charge that is almost never brought and an overly

There is absolutely no chance Nate Silver is that stupid. He has to be getting paid, right? Like is he somehow on Putin's payroll too? Or is he just huffing ketamine laced with bothsider sauce?

Not to mention that when I started blocking/hiding, my feed instantly became full of right wingers because the algorithm is too dumb to understand the reason I was doing it. It was awful.

Ah yes, the famous Republican policy of "nationwide simultaneous bootstrap pull", this time for addiction.

This post is slanderous. Vader redeemed himself at the end. There is zero chance of that happening with Trump. I demand an apology on behalf of the Skywalker estate.

Yeah, and when you're done, justify this as a concern worth paying attention to more than we worry about kids being struck by lightning or from dying in a lawnmower accident.

This Oberlin College sophomore speaks for the entire Democratic Party, meanwhile the Heritage Foundation somehow doesn't speak for the Republican Party despite issuing a policy document they're all following and employing all those guys on their own campaigns

The suggestion he is making is further flawed in that there are not casual "normies" engaging with political content on Twitter. There are no viewpoints to learn more about or people worth trying to persuade of anything. Instead, it's just all out Nazis and understanding them is pretty damn simple.

People who take this position should not also be able to take the position that the country is suffering from massive influx of immigrants for which we have no capacity to absorb. Unless of course you are willing to admit out loud your motive is primarily bigotry.

"Things people say when they have been permanently infected by both-siderism and the systemic/continuous Overton shift it perpetuates"...it has trained otherwise liberal-minded folk to lose the courage of their own convictions in service of a BS media narrative about what Americans care about.

Amen. I am ok with trying to educate the disengaged, but you won't find them in political threads online. In spaces like Twitter, any engagement with members of the Republican terror network is as fruitful as Neville Chamberlain's negotiations with Hitler.

No, but I'm sure when we do die of measles, they'll blame the windmills.
