The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

“Hatey miles an hour” - that’s great.

EDIT: just read the twitter replies - looks like that sentiment is universal. Hadn’t heard that phrase before.

Should be Hatey eight, or the more transparent Hatey Hate.

First time hearing that for me as well. Fantastic.

When you hit Hatey-Hate miles per hour you’re immediately transported to the Jim Crow era.

I don’t know how I am going to use that phrase yet, I just know I am going to one day.

I believe in limited government and I’m also Christian enough to know it’s not up to us to judge. I was also taught that heckling and harassing others is despicable. Believe it or not, you are not the warden of conservatism OR Christianity. twitter.com/jennaellisesq/…

Tomi Lahren is an example of a “conservative” who doesn’t know what fundamental principles she’s conserving. Young people like free market, liberty, and choice, but haven’t thought through their worldview and where genuine freedom is derived (morality), so they’re inconsistent.

Person who makes her living judging and heckling people has thoughts.

My sister, who lives in Texas, says that there are a hell of a lot of Texans who would vote for McConaughey for Governor should he actually decide to run. It’s not all Austin/Houston/Dallas/San Antonio Democrats either, she says he’s pretty well loved among the red-leaning folks as well. Normally I’d be skeptical that someone with so little political experience could be an effective governor, but after so many years of people like Abbott, DeSantis and Trump fucking things up, why not give someone who at least genuinely wants to try and do good a chance to do good?

Thrag · 2021-07-13T19:55:18.613Z

Plus it’d be fun seeing Republicans denounce the idea of an actor becoming a Governor.

arrendek · 2021-07-13T21:02:44.124Z

I’m all in, baybee! I’ve seen DeathSantis in action and I’ll vote for anyone with a pulse who isn’t as shitty in any future election. I recommend those in Texas and other fucked places do the same.

Yet again, the lunatic culture-warring is a smokescreen for right wing economic interests: * conservatives defending rich tax cheats from IRS * GOP donors salivating at idea of Speaker Kevin McCarthy * Rs working to block corporate tax hikes My latest: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

The vaccine derangement, racial dog whistles and valorization of insurrectionists all echo the Tea Party. But there's another similarity: Once again, the culture-warring could help right wing and plutocratic interests block critical economic progress: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/… https://t.co/PR7hxEzyft

Behind the new culture war you can see a right wing economic countermobilization very much like the one in 2010. It's got the same players (Grover Norquist) hyping the same scandals, this time to block IRS enforcement against wealthy tax avoidance: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/… https://t.co/GxcgMFXDYC

‘Don't Fauci My Florida': Gov. Ron DeSantis Selling Koozies, Spoof Merchandise

From a koozie emblazoned with the message “How the hell am I going to be able to drink a beer with a mask on?” to a T-shirt reading “Don’t Fauci my Florida,” the products show a clear disdain for Dr. Anthony Fauci.
