I dug a bit into the double standard JD Vance has, in which MAGA supporters can say anything they want, no matter how offensive and no matter how old they are, and it's just "kids being kids." But if an actual kids says something negative about Charlie Kirk, they deserve to be punished.

Vance’s Double Standard: Nazi Jokes Are “Kids Being Kids,” But Mocking Charlie Kirk Gets Your Visa Revoked
JD Vance thinks praising Hitler and talking about putting political enemies into death chambers is harmless “kids being kids,” but criticizing Charlie Kirk is somehow deserving of state-supported punishment. It sure looks like he’s got quite the double standard. Yesterday, Vance defended Young Republican leaders who were caught in leaked chat logs making racist, antisemitic, and pro-Nazi comments, dismissing their behavior as harmless kids being edgy.

Seems like Democrats could find the same info and hire the people who put together videos like this. But they never seem to do so.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

The mass migration from classic reality to the talk radio/Fox reality for many began late 90's and by the early 2000's

You could see it in family and friends if you were familiar enough with that landscape

I really think that's most of the story: right-wing mass-media demagoguery

The “guardrails” didn’t really hold in Trump’s first term. He broke through many, and accelerated abuses in 2020.

Beat impeachment, removed inspectors general, and after losing reelection attempted a coup. Failing to recognize that as guardrails crumbling, not holding, was one cause of complacency.

"It's a mistake to think that MAGA's obsession with Epstein stems from concern about child sex abuse. ... For them, this saga is about exposing elites, particularly Democrats—not about delivering justice to victims."

🔥🔥 from @lutzfernandez.bsky.social in @theunpopulist.net on the Epstein madness.
MAGA’s Epstein Fixation Isn’t About Justice, It’s About Revenge
House Republicans care less about delivering justice to this sexual predator's underage victims and more about punishing their political enemies

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back
Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit." Someone named Manny replies: "@grok why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"
