Get Hitler talking and eventually he’ll tell you grass is green. So what?
They’re fascists who are actively demolishing democracy and fomenting civil war. Stop trying to find common ground. Oppose them.
Finding common ground is overrated.

Finding true intentions and acting accordingly is where it’s at.
You and an arsonist can agree that you have a lovely house.

Enjoy that common ground when you realize that what the arsonist loves is burning down lovely houses.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA is, in my opinion, half bad. ⭐️⭐️ ½
The performance (particularly the 3 leads and especially especially Streep) are really a treat but man the constant fat-shaming of ... Anne Hathaway? in a way that really seemed unexamined set my teeth on edge.
I get this. I understand a movie set in fashion would have to address it. Just didn’t like how it addressed it.

If American conservatives made up 60% of voters but only received 40% representation, instead of the other way around, they’d be murdering people in the streets even more than they already are.

They’re grotesquely overrepresented and they still want to burn it all down.
American conservatives so spoiled they aren’t even psychologically equipped to handle privilege; imagine how they’d deal with oppression.

If they had to play a fair game within 12 minutes they’d drive their SUVs into the nearest elementary school and start doing donuts.
An American conservative having to deal with a gerrymander or a 35-60 filibuster would pop like a tick in an autoclave. Blood pressure like a diver in an ocean trench. Eyeball squittering plop against the wall like a pinched watermelon seed.

🧔🏻I’m intellectual dark web.
🙂What’s that?
🧔🏻 It means I believe unequivocally in free speech, even if offensive.
😕 like ... what?
🧔🏻Race science, Nazis, nationalism, that stuff.
🤨Also those who tell the truth about systemic racism, right?
🧔🏻Them I try to get fired.
😧It’s just...race science, fascism, authoritarianism...those are REALLY dangerous.
🧔🏻 We in intellectual dark web believe all speech must be protected in free society. You cannot squelch ANY speech.
🤨 But...you suppress critical race theory.
🧔🏻Yes, it really squelches fascism.
😧You really seem to want to overlook the real cost marginalized people pay when you platform hate speech.
🧔🏻 Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Defeat hateful ideas by presenting better arguments
🤨So...your “intellectual dark web” argues against hateful ideas?
🧔🏻hahahahaha no

I wish people who worship Jesus Christ realized that Jesus Christ told his disciples very clearly that he was George Floyd.
"You bishes better not talk about anybody else's death again EVER," warned Jesus, "and I'm coming back in 3 days for a minute to be sure you aren't!" Then he died. The curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook and the ground split.
"Peter," said Jesus.
"Here I am Lord," said Peter.
Then Jesus said to him again: "Peter."
"Yes Lord," Peter replied.
A third time Jesus said: "Peter."
"Lord, it's me," said Peter.
"You guys aren't talking about anyone else's death, are you?"
"No no, Lord," Peter said, quickly.

"What Trump voters think" should be reported, but it shouldn't matter.

Their beliefs and opinions should be covered like those of the members of any suicide cult. We should be told what the beliefs are. They shouldn't be lent credence or framed as valid drivers of policy. The New York Times | Opinion | Guest Essay | 14 Trump Voters
The New York Times is making me tap pretty hard on the sign this weekend.
And: it's no longer necessary to report on what Trump voters think. We KNOW what they think. We know we know we know we know, we never stop getting told what these people think.

When exactly do we insist they engage with what everybody else thinks?

Adding: It's not that they used it and didn't ask for permission that makes them bad. It's that they used it for bad corrosive things.

It's OK when you win elections to use your power without asking permission. The elections were the permission. That's what elections are.
The other thing that makes Republicans bad is that increasingly they don't *win* elections, they just damage the mechanism of election until the election no longer reflects the will of the people ... which is the quality of elections that makes the permission they bestow valid.
When Democrats are in power, increasingly it means an *overwhelming* victory, so much that it overcomes the anti-democracy mechanisms Republicans have put into place.

When Republicans achieve power, increasingly they do so despite, not because of, the will of the people.
