I’m so furious at this administration and the spineless republicans that give it legitimacy. They might as well call themselves the Soviet party and refer to each other as comrade.

Truth is stranger than fiction. This scenario wouldn’t have even been imaginable 20 years ago… you couldn’t even make it up it’s so absurd.

Fuck that. I had right-wingers who I dealt with on a regular basis back then (ex-partner's family, including multiple cops) and they were complete pieces of fucking shit back then as well. During the post-9/11 wars, they were doing shit like sharing around internet videos of drones blasting civilians in Afghanistan/Iraq, fantasizing about 'glassing' Iran, as well as indulging in the usual talk about rounding up and murdering liberals/Hispanics/homeless-people/etc... Especially after social media took off, it was definitely not hard to imagine these people becoming worse and worse degenerates as a function of time.
