Every senator on this platform should be run off, mocked, and harassed in public because they always tell us we should be terrified while doing jack shit nothing about it except collecting a paycheck while sitting safe in a position of power.

Others have remarked on this but the resurgence of the R word across the political spectrum is really wild? Like did I miss a memo about this? I expect it from some people but from others, you really can't come up with a better and more interesting way to describe people you don't like?

I tend to think people's efforts to "steelman" other people's (bad) arguments are often quite shallow and ignorant themselves. It's more valuable to actually learn about a topic than make guesses at what the charitable version of someone's argument might be, in theory.

there’s going to come a time when people with their backs against the wall will have a choice between an impossible option and violence, and they will choose violence, & politicians will emerge from silence to scold the violence while saying nothing on the choice that forced them to it.

Crushing fascism is actually an anti-fascist act, and often requires being just as aggressive as fascists are in their pursuit of fascist ends in order to secure anti-fascist ends, which are not the same as fascist ends. Pass It On.

Imagining what it would’ve been like to have had a president who was just as aggressive and urgently determined to protect the constitution and citizens and to crush fascism as the current one is being in order to kill the constitution and the citizens and to promote fascism.
