Yes, requests for non-fascists to "lower the temperature" is just a nicer way of putting the Heritage Foundation's statement that the revolution will remain bloodless if liberals allow it. It's a demand for acquiescence to the conditions of violence they created.

Seen a lot of comments like “hey Americans who support democracy, oppose political violence, and value truth, we have to take the temperature down,” and while well-intentioned, I don’t think it’ll work, because they’re not the ones raising the temperature.

Everything about their faction - from whining about “political correctness” & “cancel culture,” to their policy proposals, to their media diet, to their choice of figurehead - is based on an apparent belief that the single most important human right is the right to be a proud & unrepentant asshole.

This man is making his evil intentions as crystal-clear as they possibly could be, and everyone who cares about humanity should be blasting that message out in every possible venue.

The thing that's telling and exasperating about the centrist "Biden must drop out" calls is that... this was their guy! They act like the left insisted on him! But Biden was the guy they were saying Democrats should instead rally around when it looked like we might pick Bernie!

I'll never forget seeing the convoys of these trucks driving through downtown San Diego (85% Dem voting area) every weekend in the runup to the 2020 election. Assholes, reveling in being assholes.

All over red, rural America are little stores and roadside stands devoted to Trump flags/banners with the most bloodthirsty and threatening, unhinged, and vulgar stuff you've ever seen. Has the east coast press ever written about how alienating THAT stuff is? You know, the violent cult vibes?

Biden's best moment as a candidate has been during the 2020 race when he said "would you shut up, man" to Trump and this should be the Democratic Party's line in general. Just show clips of all the antivaxxers, J6 QAnon freaks, and child athlete genital inspectors. "Aren't you sick of these people?"

Like when people say “of course the media is focused on Bidens age what else should they talk about?” it’s this! It’s fucking this!

This would have been enough on its own not too long ago to kill someone’s campaign. Fuck all of this.

one of tech’s biggest problems is that it used to invent stuff that made people’s lives better and easier and in recent years has pivoted to “fake money for scams” and “plagiarism machine that puts you out of a job”

This is what blows me away every time. There's no one who NEEDS predictive text machines. It's not curing cancer or feeding people or producing clean energy. It's just sucking up resources, convincing CEOs to fire humans who do better jobs than it can do, and allowing founders to siphon VC money

I’m not a six-figure beltway political consultant and lord knows I never will be but in my opinion as a citizen Joe should refer to Trump as a sick fuck and a fucking asshole any time a microphone is in front of him for the rest of his life.

It's like looking at the sun. "America is structurally in thrall to a party that will say whatever it takes to sustain the money & attention it needs from its base for the project of making rich people richer, even if some of their supporters go on to decapitate their parents." Can't stare too long.
