I know the temptation is to just scroll past this with a “not surprised” reaction, but you should read this if you have the emotional bandwidth to encounter horrifying slurs and violent sentiments, because there’s an important takeaway: extremism is often performed to reinforce an in-group’s bond.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

The famous "turns me into a frog" tweet with an illustration.
witch: *Turns me into a frog* now suffer
me: *chilling on a leaf*
witch: wait
me: *experiencing happiness for the first time in my life*
witch: wait no

The illustration includes a simple grey-tone image of a cartoon which zapping a frog with a wand, followed by a frog sat on a leaf staring at a sunrise or sunset. The witch looks stunned. The last image is of a frog with a tear of happiness flowing from their eye.

Sorry, I don't know the original artist, or I would credit them here.
