…to my American friends who seem unable to comprehend what it appears they’ve done tonight…I am heartbroken for you, for your communities, your future children, your unwritten future history. Intolerance, hate, violence, greed, misogyny, racism, and fascism own you.

@CSI_Starbase Sad to hear this, however I’m stunned there’s ANY doubt as to the question of ‘why’. Your president and his administrators are vile, repugnant, and evil to the core…they poison everything they get their hands on. Even this. Frankly, it’s the least of your countries worries.
I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.
Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.
The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.
If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.
The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.
What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.
Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.
@PatMcAfeeShow I mean….big deal? Large man stuffs tiny ball through steel hoop while larger man fails to stop him. This scene will play out many more times throughout the remainder of the show…errr…game. The ALL CAPS nearly got me, tho.
An Elon Musk biographer has sounded the alarm that the world’s richest man may be losing his mind under stress, mental illness, and his self-described heavy drug use.
