@KirkegaardEmil I can recommend you a good one.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

@TheRabbitHole But I gotta kinda respect you flipping incoherence into a virtue, even if an ideological cluster is THE ONE TYPE OF GROUP in which you’d prefer to see coherent ideas.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

@TheRabbitHole Rather—fears, prejudices, and insecurities are more likely to be what binds the right.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

I reckon insane asylums can boast a lot of diversity of thought, too.

[The Rabbit Hole @TheRabbitHole]

If diversity is a strength, then it’s a strength of the Right. In fact, the Right has a stronger claim than the Left does.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

@lesliedouglasx @Rational_Psych Ahh, I love coming back to X from time to time to that see that guys like you are still douching it UP. Never change.

I find it reassuring that a mere 38.6% of my fellow Americans are in a cult.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

I’d give western civilization a 3.5 out of 10

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

@lwoodhouse @jaycaspiankang Many would call this “prescience.”

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

@JoJoFromJerz @RepMTG Yes, it’s is very disorienting.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

The fact that the man who controls the U.S. nuclear arsenal is PROUD OF BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE A DUCK is a bad thing when you think about it.

Curious to see how trying *as hard as he possibly can* to take SNAP benefits away from hungry rural white voters works out politically for Trump. Anybody got priors on this?

@bethanyshondark This post, edited for concision:

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

Turns out holding SNAP benefits hostage to hurt the other party is bad politics.

"No More Kings" is maybe 25% people who are against kings & 75% people who want the king to be someone with left-of-center politics.

@Heminator I'd like to underscore the "nominative stupidity" of 'antifa = terrorist'.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

@BuzzPatterson @TPUSA Lol. You just hate Bad Bunny because someone told you to hate Bad Bunny.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

@gayprobation @McReynoldsJoe @davidfrum You appear to be so blinkered by bias that you can't read the words on your screen. Embarrassing for you.

[Eric Knowles @eric_knowles]

We're seeing absolutely no sign that Trump's instrumentalization of Charlie Kirk's murder accomplished anything other than making more Americans feel sick.

👀 the popularity of Dems in PA

[Joshua Smithley @blockedfreq]

🚨 @QuinnipiacPoll of PA - Approvals

🔵 Shapiro: 60-28 (+32)
🔴 Trump: 43-54 (-11)
🔵 Fetterman: 46-38 (+12)
🔴 McCormick: 39-35 (+4)

The kicker for Fetterman is that his upside is coming from Republicans approving of him 62-21 versus Dems disapproving 33-54.
