You mean the part where people were killed and several others injured by a violent mob of right-wing extremists who were rioting over something that literally doesn't exist? Also: you're new here so I'll grant you some leeway, but check your sources before tossing around idiocy like that - I...

From the article you posted: "No one has been injured during these attacks" I know this is a completely foreign concept to people festering with a regressive ideological core, but "property" is not human lives, and "vandalism" is not "violence". [removed] But if you think you can get away with...

[removed] People either categorically proclaiming right-wing ideology as their motivation, or discovered to have done so explicitly due to right wing ideology adherence or indoctrination by right wing ideological elements, perform acts of domestic terrorism at least several times a year and...

My fault, I should have cropped out more of your post, because what I was responding to was just the sentence "The most dangerous thing to do is to expect the GOP to be incapable of a swivel to DeSantis or the like." I meant to focus on it being interesting to me that even baked into that...

Wait... what? That's kind of literally what I just said: that a particular model has been set for what the right expects of their candidates, and that model is Trump shaped - so whoever ends up being the new poster boy, be it DeSantis or whomever else, is going to have to present themselves in...

Hint: it's not the klan, and you don't show up on a wanted list when you're dead or already in custody.

*slow blink* I'm sorry I know this is a complete aside, but... there are people alive who actually think the great man theory is... even remotely viable? I can't even wrap my head around that, heh.

Though, even that is interesting: you'll note that one of the first things people say DeSantis is that he's "like Trump but competent" - so even if the GOP swivels to another human being, can the GOP pivot away from the role model? "Unflinching narcissist man-child psychotic regressive lunatic...

Because "how long ago it happened" isn't the point. "How recently it's been happening" is the point. In the US as of 2022 right-wing extremist violence is the number one domestic terrorism threat - and in fact, it's the *only* domestic terrorism threat. There is no left-wing extremist violence...

I mean, that's the narrative the the armchair intellectuals and media pundits like to foster, but the truth is: no. Some of us recognized that Trump is the single greatest Republican presidential candidate in 40 years, in that he is literally everything about US 'conservatism' made manifest into...

Liz Cheney is the quintessential modern day "but the trains ran on time" argument - I mean sure, the holocaust and all, but those train schedules! She's an absolute abhorrent political ghoul with one of the most consistent track records of immoral values and anti-American voting in the entire...

I dunno, I kind of feel like it actually is. Fundamentally, there are things that the Dems and Repugs agree on: predatory capitalism, the maintenance of the status quo that all the money and power are in the hands of an elite few, that government exists largely as a grift to give attention and...

Culturally I agree, but that doesn't change the fact that to Democrats and Republicans themselves (as in, elected officials in the Senate and Congress) it still holds true. Elected representatives don't behave like bitter enemies waging an ideological war over the future of the human race - to...

I know this response is pointless with you, but I just can't help myself... The first part of your post laying out the issue is literally what Republicans are doing. Republicans are the ones who deregulated the US market, pushed for globalism, and exported jobs overseas as a matter of monetary...

Why would they? It serves them just as well, so I can't imagine a scenario where they would care unless their base went into a sufficient froth over it, and even then they would just pay lip service to caring like they do with abortion, but never actually *do* anything about it. Don't forget...
