“The monsters we’ve bred for decades stopped calling us ‘master’.”

Oh no, the consequences of my actions.

You built this nightmare, you are part of it.

Rattled, willing to comment (sometimes anonymously), but seemingly bereft of any actual solutions

“All I did was grab this angry poisonous snake, why did it bite me?”

I think these children need a remedial lesson in cause and effect: there are consequences to actions as well as inaction.

Also, when you shamelessly benefit from the moral bankruptcy of ideological extremism that is rooted in hatred and intolerance, you’ve dug yourself into a hole that you won’t get out of unscathed.

“Republican senators say they are alarmed at how many Republicans, including those with higher levels of education and income, buy the unsubstantiated claims that the last presidential election was stolen.”

How far up your ass does your head have to be to not see that your party is practically driven by conspiracy theories and falsehoods after the last decade?? I don’t know how many comments I’ve seen where people lament the loss of their family members to the disinfo that has gripped a considerable number of our supposed “fellow” countrypersons. Disinfo works, and it is fucking REAL to those that have fallen into it.

It makes me think of people who say they don’t understand why advertisements even exist, as they would “never fall for them”. Congrats on being smarter than the ads, but the reason they still exist is because there are A TON of people out there that DO resonate with advertisements. Hell, I can’t even remember how many times I went running to my mom asking for the newest Super Soaker or fucking Moon Shoes from Nickelodeon or whatever else stupid shit was being advertised. Advertising worked on me because I was completely susceptible to it, and I believe disinfo works just the same way on those who don’t have the critical thinking skills to see it for what it is.

Beginning?? Beginning to take over their party??? What do they think, this is 1987???

You’ve made your submersible.

Sink in it.

peak leopards-ate-my-face here.

Let us rattle them. Say, down a mountainside in barrels of mercury(II) fulminate.

This seems to be all semantics. They govern more or less the same.
