It’s actually much stupider than you think. These aren’t marines or soldiers, they’re ICE agents in tactical gear.

I’m unclear if those are actual marines or federal police wearing tactical uniforms for no fucking reason

Yes he was very clearly far right. Had a list of Dems state officials and abortion providers. Involved in an evangelical ministry. Had served as a foreign mercenary in Africa and the West Bank. According to his roommate, was a vocal supporter of Trump

Mike Lee is *threatening you.* He is saying, you’re the CIA agent who’s been stalking me and put a chip in my brain. And whether or not he *personally* really believes that, he is trying to activate the submentals among his followers who *do* believe that.

When Mike Lee says the obviously far-right murderer is really a Marxist, you shouldn’t respond by saying, this is obviously factually inaccurate. You can’t reason with this level of delusion.

If Douglass could look at the Constitution and call it a “glorious liberty document”—despite the enslavement of his people—we can find things to be proud of in our national tradition, even if there’s also plenty not to be proud of.

That’s fair. I was just literally waving the flag, so I’ll say this: I think denying the fascists ownership of national identity is important, and that waving the flag probably in some small way makes it harder for the Trumpists to crack down. But I respect your point.

I don’t think we necessarily disagree on values, just on how to articulate those values. I agree that rights don’t emanate from the nation.

I don’t want to give the police credit for *not* brutalizing people but I guess the bar is low right now. They acted professionally.

I think we can support a patriotism that is anti-ethnonationalist (“give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”), where immigration is a core part of national identity
