Maybe "Try that in a small town" was a poor choice of slogan

“What is most exceptional about the Americans is not the voluminous record of their violence but their extraordinary ability in the face of that record to persuade themselves that they are among the best behaved and best regulated of peoples.” - Richard Hofstadter, American Violence, 1970 🗃️

"Convicted Felon Involved in Shooting that Kills Two" is a headline that nobody wrote but was right there

Is it gauche to refer to flag humpers as "flaggots"? If you only use the word to their face is it ok?

These are the other shootings that happen in America and all of them get one headline and then no one ever thinks about them again because it happens all the time and everyone has stopped caring

At least four people were killed and nine others were wounded in a shooting at a Birmingham, Alabama, nightclub late Saturday night, police said.

On an unrelated note, Robert Sapolsky also documented how, after poisoned meat killed off all the alpha asshole baboon males in the group he was studying, the group became FAR more peaceful and chill for multiple generations.

Personally, I’d go with Robert Sapolsky’s “A Primate’s Memoir” for insight into the GOP politician mind. Also, an extremely funny book.
