I can’t decide what is more dominant here: the cruelty or the stupidity. I think maybe the stupidity, because the last line is basically the equivalent of one of those chain emails from the 90s that says “if you don’t forward this to 1000 friends, you will die a painful death” or some shit

The tribalism in politics has got to go. The idea that everything that a leader from “your party” is correct is destructive and not good for the American people. These are public servants who should be under the public eye and are not above criticism.

We’re about to find out that most of our fellow Americans are perfectly happy to live under an oppressive dictatorship that undermines their own interests as long as some group of people they view as defective and inferior is getting stomped on.
