I didnāt need any validation but the way conservatives are so taken aback that everyday Americans would essentially put themselves between vulnerable immigrants and ICE, tells me that every single thing Iāve always thought about them is true.

The worst people in society are assassinating and then assassinating the character of the best people in society. The MAGA horde think it's all lulls. The Republican party endorse and sustain this policy.

It's not just that these professional politics observers somehow failed to spot the obvious rise of American nativist thuggery. It's how much energy they devoted to arguing the real problem was the volume, tone, and vocabulary of those raising the alarm about it.

The Hunt | He wanted a DC duplex equidistant from the Department of Justice (where he ostensibly works) and The White House (where he actually works). She wanted a home office to sell crypto, ivermectin, and beef tallow. Which did they choose?

More evidence that these glib liars have no consciences. MAGA voters are like Lenny asking to be told about the rabbits before they're shot, except the shooters aren't sparing them suffering, they're the lynch mob itself. ("Of Mice and Men" reference)

It is going to take so long to restore our reputation as a country that does the right thing after we've tried everything else. Right now we are one of the world's villains, alongside Russia, Hungary, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. We are a cautionary tale to the world.

If you love this country, if you want it to thrive, if you want it to be a positive influence on the world despite our current fallen state, you will not vote for Republicans. Republicans bring us only shame. Conservatism is poison. People can enjoy it as they do alcohol. It feels good. It kills.
