There isn’t enough social opprobrium for vocal Trump supporters in particular and GOO generally. I don’t care if it isn’t effective or causes some to dig in further, they are marching under a banner of cruelty and violence and ignorance and it can’t be left unaddressed

Edward James Almost (@edwardjamesalmost.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, over a million people voted against this in Missouri last tear. Are we all “podunk, inbred, mouth breathing MAGATS”? Are we to be cast out as well? What’s your plan for additional housing for refugees? Or do we not count because there are fewer of us here? And do your MAGA get to stay?
Edward James Almost (@edwardjamesalmost.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah what about those of us who aren’t in the cult but are stuck with those who are? I agree that harsh measures need to be taken to break the back of MAGA but part of that fight has to be about restoring constitutional protections to all Americans.

it is genuinely maddening to see pundits and reporters say things like “well trump has an advantage on crime” while the public consistently says “we think this guy sucks on crime”

this is the endpoint of white flight. the social progression was integration -> whites leaving urban centers for suburbs -> defunding of public goods and schools in urban centers -> imposition of “law” and “order” on now largely minority urban centers by largely white suburban voting blocs

The man had been a punchline for THIRTY YEARS before he was elected the first time, showed his entire ass for 4 years, lost, tried to do a coup, and somehow I still have to know and think about it. An offense to dignity itself. A loathsome man with loathesome followers. Baffling shit.

The point of journalism is to tell people the truth! If the population and political leaders are panicking about something that isn't happening, your job as a reporter is to loudly debunk it — not plead with the other party to join the panic.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

If you think living wherever you do that you’re free and safe from these jackals just because they happen to be in the minority there, then I don’t know what to tell you. This is my home. And I’m not going anywhere. And it would be nice if you would recognize that we’re in this together.
