I love how braindead it is. Let me rephrase in a way he may understand is a self own or maybe just agree with:

Since the Right is so much more interested in fixing the individual than in fixing society, politics inevitably becomes the vehicle for dictating what individuals can do.

It’s actually a pretty succinct comparison of the approaches of the two sides of the ideological spectrum.

WaPo headline: GOP challenger to Cheney says he impregnated 14-year-old when he was 18: ‘It’s like the Romeo and Juliet story’

Uh, that’s not how that story ends.

(Or starts. Or goes in the middle.)

I sort of miss the days when Republican’s at least claimed to be the family values party. No wonder QAnons are obsessed with pedophiles. It seems every place in Florida is filled with them.

Alligators or Republicans, anyone in Florida needs to watch out for the reptiles.

Hey, impregnating children is still KINDA of a family! It’s like, a bone tomahawk family or something. It still counts!

Technically, it kind of is how the story ends, with a bit of gender reversal apparently.

Wait, is that real? I literally can’t tell anymore.

Yep. It surprises me regularly that The Onion has yet to fold up shop.

Please, gators, turtles, snakes and lizards are all far too useful to be lumped in with that lot.

Besides, chuds are more like a fungus - brainless lumps of flesh that live in darkness and feed on batshit, like a common cave mushroom.

I stumbled on this passage from a speech Clinton gave in Rwanda 4 years after the genocide there. Though he is hardly a model of leadership at the time of that crisis, his words here ring true to me and encapsulate our current moment fairly well.

at the dawn of a new millennium there is only one crucial division among the peoples of the Earth. And believe me, after over five years of dealing with these problems, I know it is not the division between Hutu and Tutsi, or Serb and Croatian and Muslim in Bosnia, or Arab and Jew, or Catholic and Protestant in Ireland, or black and white. It is really the line between those who embrace the common humanity we all share and those who reject it.

It is the line between those who find meaning in life through respect and cooperation and who, therefore, embrace peace, and those who can only find meaning in life if they have someone to look down on, someone to trample, someone to punish, and, therefore, embrace war. It is the line between those who look to the future and those who cling to the past. It is the line between those who give up their resentment and those who believe they will absolutely die if they have to release one bit of grievance. It is the line between those who confront every day with a clenched fist and those who confront every day with an open hand. That is the only line that really counts when all is said and done.

Probably? I mean, what even is reality anymore at this point?

Good news, Bannon media shills! According to Rasmussen, our org is getting over 10% penetration in our grotesque market segment!
