actor, writer, director, a bit of a perfectionist -- wait, I didn’t say that right… kind of OCD. oh, and the only person in the world who knows how to drive
If there’s one institution strong enough to counteract waves of mostly stupid public opinion and tell people they don’t get to have their own thoughts anymore because look what happens, it’s the Catholic Church #NewPope#antimaga
@ReallyAmerican1 Because they’ve been brainwashed to believe that Democrats aren’t to be trusted with anything. So even those who support Democratic policy (as most R voters do on guns) keep voting R no matter what. People don’t read party platforms, only social media feeds
@JaneotN Yeah but that’s what worries me. Without the benefit of context (say of moderate GenX liberals), Gen Z is especially vulnerable to simplistic rightwing BS as it seeps into their friend groups. They hear soundbites about ‘both sides’ and reject real leaders as much as the monsters
@OurShallowState Some want to control the ashes. More just don’t want to admit they were duped by those wanting to control the ashes. They want it burned down to destroy the evidence.
@SarahPalinUSA@EdKrassen@elonmusk REALITY [via functioning legal system]: More Rs than Ds are corrupt and must be held accountable.
Rs: Two-tiered justice!
Ds: Um, no, you’re justifying criminality when it’s done to further ideology you’re unable to admit is flawed. Stop that.
Rs: Civil War!
Ds: Well, kinda, now.
@EdKrassen@chucktodd@RepRaskin Potential conflicts of interest will always exist; those in power can’t police everyone they’ve ever known. But that doesn’t mean ‘both sides’ are the same. Difference is in the general attempt by most Ds to maintain propriety, while most Rs cynically claim there’s no point.
@urbanmyths@ElieNYC Same goes for most media outlets the past couple of decades. Trying so hard to look fair and impartial they gave lunatic fringe ideas credibility and let the very concept of objective facts disappear.
@ToddMitchem @JoJoFromJerz That’s victim shaming. Liberals engaged civilly for decades, entertaining bad ideology with more patience than it deserves. This only allowed outrageous points of view to emerge on the right. Now that we’re finally saying hell no they double down like adolescents and it’s on us?
