douthat's always been a fucking phenomenal douchebag, but the last several weeks have made clear that sulzberger's hosting an asshole cleaning contest, so the sloppiest boys on the payroll have gotten extra prepared

That…that sure is a thing you can say. Definitely all words. Yikes. Has Douthat always been…y’know…*this* bad?

if you’re trying to engage with politically disconnected people about project 2025, identify a specific part that you think will resonate with them. i just told my friend who’s a public school teacher about the plan to abolish the department of education and that got her hooked.

On Twitter, MAGA people are saying that Trump's fist bump photo is the "hardest photo ever." It is not. Anybody have examples? I'll start.

Immediately after shots were fired, the crowd turned on media, channeling their anger toward reporters standing inside the press pen. “Fake news. This is your fault!” “You’re next! Your time is coming.” A few tried to break into the press pen but were stopped by security. — Sophia Cai, Axios

A reminder that Donald Trump has spent years fanning the flames and fomenting political violence. Recall 2016, when he said the "Second Amendment people" could stop Hillary Clinton's Supreme Court picks if she won. This era of violent political rhetoric should've ended in 2016.

Scott Jennings on CNN right now saying this is on Dems for saying Trump will end democracy on the US. And Bash and Blitzer are like, yes, we have to tamp down the rhetoric on both sides. Absolute marks. Jesus Christ.

I don't understand why people are unhappy about tRump dodging a bullet... I hate the guy as much as anyone who hasn't been stiffed by him directly. But also don't want to see JD Vance facing Biden, with a strong tailwind from TFG get martyred. I want tRump to have a long, unhappy life in prison

It's interesting to read this text from 1979 alongside Posobiec's speech. This argument, that "liberals" are basically Communists who must be fought to the death before "we" are killed by "them," has long been common within a particular political subculture that used to be more fringe in the US.

Here is a full transcript of Jack Posobiec's alarmingly fascist speech about the war against "un-humans," which he delivered from the main stage of the National Conservatism Conference this week, immediately before a speech by a US Senator.

Yes, Jack Posobiec been using Nazi rhetoric for years now. I'm surprised he didn't once more work the 14 Words into his speech. The dangerous development is sitting Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) applauding, "Great job, Jack.”

He’s a black man who writes thoroughly about democracy and white supremacy while living in Charlottesville, Virginia! I’m not saying he’s a saint, but the “thin skinned” critique is COMEDY.

Not to mention the economic damage of: Causing 1.2 million mortgages to go into default. Deporting 5% of the US workforce. Deporting 40% of US farm and AG workers. Deporting business owners. Removing primary bread winner(s) from households. Leaving American born kids with one or no parents.

As a staunch opponent of political violence, I greatly prefer when national leaders respond to it by condemning violence and expressing concern for victims (image 1) rather than encouraging violence and laughing at victims (image 2).

When I condemn political violence I am also condemning a Trump candidacy.

This is a train wreck waiting to happen.

What’s amazing about Project 2025 is that it’s so comprehensive, it reaches wildly different constituencies. “Wait, you want to ban porn? Wait, you want to make it even more difficult to buy a house?? Wait, you want to allow my employer to count my overtime as regular hours next week???”

Talking about Project 2025 is having an impact, because the name sounds more sinister than "Republican Party Platform," and because it's the first time some Americans realized we're dealing with a fascist movement, not just one outlandish, egomaniacal, oft incompetent criminal.
