The past three days of Republican failure to elect a #Speakerofthehouse are a reminder that the chaos and violence of seditionists on #January6th was outside and inside the House.
The coup that Trump unleashed on the US has turned inward. Ironically the “anarchists” that Trump accused those of us opposing him of being are on display in the GOP circus around #KevinMcCarthy. And by anarchism he did not mean the philosophy but chaos 👇🏽 h/t @rerutled
Remember that the Republicans won a majority in the House if Representatives in elections held just months after the Supreme Court overturned #RoeVsWade—a goal they had been working on for 50yrs.
Every month or so, the Woman Has Said a Bad Word circus comes to town. This time around, the woman is Greta Thunberg, who has been a target of countless powerful misogynist pricks since her early teens.
And I don't give a flying fuck what she said to that misogynist prick.
If you think she owes a self-described misogynist any form of "sensitivity" and you're attacking her for "body shaming" him, you've got it upside down.
Fuck him and his small dick energy.
Whether we are urged to be civil to racists or polite to patriarchy, the goal is the same: to maintain the power of the racist, to maintain the power of patriarchy.
Care less about the feelings of misogynist fucks and more about the actual violence they incite.
