All of these spats are people shouting shibboleths at each other independent of any goals or beliefs. The party will shift in ways that don't use the shibboleths, and the people caught up in these arguments will be none the wiser as they follow the river

Cartoon: Two humanoid eagles sat in comfortable armchairs. One is reading the newspaper, the other sipping tea.

"Do you think the owl is a predator?", asks one.

"of course not. He's never bothered me"

"exactly"

They both pause for a moment over their paper and tea.

"No idea what Mister Mouse was going on about", concludes the first, making a smug expression.

But sure, we can pretend it's just a "college group chat" that's using Nazi language. We can pretend that the staffer-class of the GOP isn't proudly supporting Nazism.

Dr. Jennifer Caputo-Seidler “began noticing many doctors asking how to treat polio.
"Today, the people who are training to be pediatricians, they're not taught how to recognize a case of acute polio when it comes in… the doctors practicing today have never managed it." @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Supplementing this: the “Young“ republicans who got caught are in their like 30s-40s. They could very well have been the same people so many people have been describing being racist in the early auguts!
