The first Trump administration was the last gasp of an old conservatism But this is like the first gasps of something being born. It really is like some kind of @stephenking.bsky.social horror. Some ancient evil that emerges into the world when we are weak and don't care for each other enough.
But it is nascent and feeble still and it can be stopped. That bastard will be dead soon, and though I am not afraid of Vance, it will try and move to someone else soon. That is why we must create a world it cannot survive in. Everyone who hates, and yes I mean you, feeds it. So stop doing that.
