Jacob Louis Richter, my great-great-great-great grandfather, 1803-1871
The wild thing is how much he looks like my father, even animated like this. I have to admit that the AI has done a pretty good job!
Madeline Louise Sargent, my great-great grandmother, 1874-1936

kids today are too young to remember when the world's largest blockbuster location covered several states in the western US. that seemed normal back then.
you could wander the shelves of VHS tapes for days
sometimes you'd come across a few acres of the new releases where they'd all been picked dry, just countless identical empty boxes with no rental tape hidden beneath them, and the knowledge that millions of people were at home watching Independence Day

It's really something that the unified messaging from the right, including elected officials, Fox News folks, and the seditious mob, has simply become "Let us do what we want and no one gets hurt."
The right has fully embraced the reality of white nationalist violence and decided that it works for them. They saw a tool that was too good not to pass up--and after all, they know that if they simply relied on democracy, they'd lose their grip on power.
The right's language is that of abusers. They don't *want* to hurt you, but if you don't stay in line and let them have their fun, they won't be able to control themselves.

"That's not me," the Cruzes and Hawleys say as the mob attacks.

But they're all one gaslighting abuser.

I've now seen a couple of interpretations of @Schwarzenegger's video as going too easy on the Nazis. It's a very odd reflex that some people have to view any attempt to understand the *human* motivations of evil people as an excuse for their behavior. That's counterproductive.
@Schwarzenegger Schwarzenegger's story of his abusive ex-Nazi father is a warning to the Proud Boys--whom he compares to the villains of Kristallnacht--that if they continue down this path, they will be broken, guilt-ridden shells. That is, if they survive the fire they are trying to kindle.
See, the thing about the Nazis is that they were in fact humans, and they were motivated by human drives and beliefs. We have to understand how that happened and how it's happening again--but such understanding in no way justifies or excuses their crimes.

please, my $2,000,000 home, she is very sick
here's free advice for these middle class people:

switch to public schools and move your toddler to a less chi-chi daycare.

boom, i just saved you about four grand a month, or way more than the average US individual income.

And you get to keep paying your $8800 house payment!
I know, I know, sending your kids tp *public school* doesn't feel *rich* enough.

But on the other hand, fuck you.
