It felt like Gunn doing some necessary universe exploration for the DCEU and not really needing to do the massive fights.

It was more entertaining than the regular fare to me

Peacemaker Season 2 is honestly a perfect companion piece to all these “conservatives weren’t racist when I was in the room” posts around.

You didn’t notice it because you were also comfortable with it.

Your standard online liberal who worked at a conservative think tank in college

My parents' generation was super racist, but they took pains to hide it from us. So a lot of young conservatives in the 90s and early aughts were earnest small government and/or evangelical types.

As I said, the overt racists and radicals had to form their own orgs.

You can find countless articles of “Young Republican chapter forced to disband due to racist/antisemitic/misogynistic/etc conduct” going back decades.

The sensible liberals can’t seem to realize Young Republican clubs are the ideological and de facto successor to 50s/60s “whites only clubs”

Yeah they were doing wholesome activities like affirmative action bake sales for the last 20 years.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

Smh you write one article about why starving kids aren’t actually starving because they’re also sick in a place with no food or medicine, and the fake friends turn on you.

Well yeah, JD Vance isn’t going to denounce the loli hentai nazis in his own group chats

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 6h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.
